Hello! My name is Zara and I am a 46-year-old mom to a 13-year-old child. I also have an adult daughter, living independently. I am a very patient and relaxed person and my approach with the kids is to observe them and adjust my services according to their needs. Photography is a strong hobby of mine and I love taking photos as much as I can. During the past six years, I have been babysitting kids of different ages, and also provided after school care at my house. I am a very reliable and mature person, and I go beyond my responsibilities to make sure that the kids' needs are met. I like to read to them, play games, do crafts, go outdoors, take them to classes and to children's museums. I am currently looking for a part time or full time job, starting after 8 a.m. I have been Read more primarily working with kids ages 3 to 6 and I also have experience with twins. I have been employed full time for the past two years .
