Hi my name is Zyné! I’m currently a senior in high-school along with working to attain my associates degree at Prince George’s community college. I’m offering Child care, & pet care services. I love being able to be a helping hand and provide support to those who need it, whether that’s taking care of your babies while you’re away or stoping by the house to make sure your fur babies are fed, getting active, and loved on. I have been surrounded by all different types of animals along with a variety of ages for 8+ years. I’ve had the blessing of babysitting my nephews and niece, newborn to toddler for 4 years so far and continuing along with babysitting family friends children providing comfort, care, freshly cooked meals, outside activities, etc.
Hi families! My name is Zelal, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about myself. 🌟 I have 4+ years of childcare experience and truly love what I do. When I first came to the U.S., I worked as an au pair caring for 4 amazing kids (ages 7, 5, 3, and 2). Since then, I’ve been working as a live-out nanny and currently look after three sweet babies 💛 I enjoy spending time with children of all ages—whether that’s playing outside , doing arts & crafts , reading stories , or creating fun little learning activities. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, happy, and loved, while also keeping things fun and engaging. 🏡 Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like cooking 🍳, tidying up 🧹, organizing , or errands to make life easier for busy parents. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs 🐕), so if you have pets, I’ll be more than happy to care for them too! 🌟 Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, caring, and reliable. I always bring a positive attitude and treat each child as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and be a supportive, trustworthy part of your team 💕
“Zelal is a trustworthy and accountable sitter. We’ve worked with her for over a year for regular date nights and one off coverage needs. She’s knowledgeable and kind, and my 3 year old always says she has fun. Zelal is engaged and very willing to take my daughter to the park, on walks, or suggest home based activities. Highly recommend!”
