I’m an experienced babysitter and nanny with over 10 years of hands on childcare experience, caring for children from infants through school age.

I have been incredibly blessed to have Zahar as part of our family. She began caring for my child when they were just 2 months old, and now—at 8 years old—she continues to be a constant, trusted, and loving presence in our lives. From infancy through early childhood and beyond, she has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience, and genuine care. She is attentive, nurturing, dependable, and deeply invested in my child’s emotional, developmental, and physical well-being. As first-time parents, her experience and calm confidence gave me complete peace of mind. She has grown alongside my child—supporting milestones, encouraging learning, reinforcing values, and always showing up with consistency and kindness. My child adores her, and I fully trust her judgment, communication, and decision-making. It is rare to find someone who becomes not just a caregiver, but an extension of your family. Any family would be extremely fortunate to have her. I recommend her without hesitation and with the highest level of confidence.
