Find experienced child care providers in Troy, IL

Hi there! My name is Zaria and I’m a childcare professional with over eight years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. My background includes working as a professional babysitter, full-time nanny, and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), giving me the skills to support children of all ages and a wide range of personalities and learning styles. I’ve had the joy of caring for children in home and classroom settings, including those with special needs. My time as an RBT gave me valuable experience supporting children with developmental, behavioral, and sensory differences, and it taught me how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment for every child. I approach each day with patience, empathy, and creativity, meeting kids where they are and helping them thrive in their own unique ways. I believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported, and I work intentionally to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment. My caregiving philosophy centers on intentional and mindful interactions that help to build trust through empathy, active listening, and positive reinforcement. I believe kids do best when they feel safe, heard, and understood. I also love helping families feel confident that their children are in caring, capable hands. I’ve taken coursework in Child Development, Child Psychology, and Applied Behavior Analysis, which gives me a strong foundation in how children think, learn, and grow. When I’m not working, you can usually find me cooking, reading, writing, singing, or painting. I love bringing those hobbies into my childcare time, whether it’s through baking cookies together, singing songs, or making creative art projects. Overall, I’m passionate about helping children grow into their best selves and I look forward to partnering with families who value intentional, compassionate care.

I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.
