Hi my name is Zakiria and I am a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and animals. I am patient and attentive when someone is relying on me for a job. I would describe my personality as calm, trustworthy, and thoughtful. When it comes to caring after a loved one I like to create a fun and positive environment while they are being supervised.
I am looking for occasional baby sitting work. I have experience working in a preschool and childcare center. I also do kids ministry at church. I have mainly worked in toddler rooms (age 1-2) and preK.
“Jennifer was wonderful with my boys! She kept both of them happy & they loved playing with her. They were well-fed, loved and sleeping soundly when I got home. Will definitely book with her again! ”
I bring alot of experience and take care of families children as my own. I am patient and have a way to keep them engaged . I combine learning and education with fun and games
With over 10 years of dedicated experience in child care, I’ve had the privilege of working with children across various age groups—from infants to elementary-aged youth. My journey began with hands-on infant care, where I gained extensive experience in feeding, diaper changing, creating soothing routines, and supporting early developmental milestones in a nurturing, safe environment. As I grew in the field, I expanded my role to caring for toddlers and preschool-aged children, guiding them through potty training, language development, and structured play. I’ve always aimed to foster a sense of independence while still offering a warm, supportive presence that encourages confidence and curiosity. In addition to early childhood care, I’ve worked in elementary school settings, teaching kindergarten and first grade. I’ve developed and led classroom activities, managed group dynamics, and supported both academic and emotional growth. I’ve also worked in group homes for older children and adults, providing behavioral support, structure, and a consistent presence for those navigating life transitions or additional needs. My approach to child care is rooted in empathy, patience, and respect. I understand that every child is unique, and I take pride in creating safe, engaging, and inclusive spaces where they can grow and thrive. Whether supporting families in the home, a classroom, or specialized care settings, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, creativity, and heart to everything I do.
