zelal 3 reviews
$17 per hour for 1 child

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!”
