I’m a calm, charismatic, and reliable person who grew up as the oldest sibling, so childcare has been a natural part of my life for years. Because my younger siblings were born much later, I often took on the responsibility of watching them for full days while my parents worked. That experience taught me how to stay patient, keep kids safe, and handle a household with confidence. I’m comfortable entertaining kids, helping with routines, and keeping things organized while maintaining a relaxed, friendly environment. I’m also very self‑sufficient and quick to adapt to whatever a family needs. Even though most of my experience comes from caring for my own siblings, it has given me real, hands‑on skills that translate well to helping other families.

Hi! My name is Zakiya, and I’ve been providing childcare for over 10 years. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where kids can learn, grow, and have fun. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from bottle feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, potty training, and bedtime routines to homework help, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and transportation to and from school or extracurricular activities. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and understand that every family has different routines and parenting styles. I’m happy to prepare meals and snacks, help with light housekeeping related to the children, keep play areas tidy, and ensure your home stays clean and organized while your little ones are in my care. My goal is to make parents feel confident knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I believe in open communication, reliability, and treating every child with kindness, respect, and patience. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family’s support system and providing dependable, high quality care for your children.

Growing up in a large family, caregiving was the responsibility of everyone. From the age of 10 I was volunteering in the church nursery and babysitting my nieces and little sisters. As a college student at The University of Texas, I became a nanny for a young boy with Cerebral Palsy, and his two siblings. Then later I was an attendant for a young adult woman who was completely immobile while we went to graduate classes together for social work in addition to being a teaching, writing, and research assistant at the college. I was with both families for years, and still love to "like" all the pictures of these children who are now young adults. Six months ago, I left Austin to move home at 34 to help my youngest sister raise her toddler and assist my now elderly parents in day to day tasks. Additionally these past six months, I have volunteered at a local school for summer camps and day to day learning engagement. While I have enjoyed all of these things, the time has come for me to begin working outside of the family at least part time. I look forward to making your life a little easier in your day-to-day.
