Booked by 3 families in Signal Hill, CA
Hello! I'm currently a Design Consultant at an SF based apparel and accessories company. I enjoy making furniture, cooking, and doing anything creative. I have been a nanny/sitter for six years and have worked with children ranging from 3 months-5 years old. Getting to be a nannying/sitter has been an awesome experience because I have gotten to be part of kiddos lives and enjoy watching them grow.
“Shanti worked with my family for several months caring for my son 4mo-9mo 20 hours per week. She was a ray of sunshine. She always showed up on time and was not only engaged with my son but also was so proactive in helping out with any and all housekeeping whenever his napping allowed. I always came home to a spotless house. She is also wonderful to talk to!”

Hi my name is Zayneb. I am a student at CSULB. I am offering childcare and petcare. I am a middle child of 3 siblings. I have a very large extended family and always find myself taking care of the children at family gatherings. I have babysat different families for the last 4 years. The responsibilities I took on were preparing dinner, getting the children ready for bed, going to the park, diapering, and putting the children to sleep. I have babysat ages <1 year-10 years. I am responsible, dependable, flexible, safety-conscious, quick thinking, and patient. I am BLS CPR certified. I have a dog, so walking your pet can be included in my service. I am confident in doing dishes, vacuuming, picking up, and laundry.
