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.

I have over 30 years of childcare experience both privately and professionally. I am a homeschool parent to 4 young children, including 3 teenagers. While I was in college to obtain a bachelor's in education, I worked as both a nanny and in a daycare for the local school district. I believe that children are full humans deserving of the same respect we would give any adult. I prefer gentle parenting and guidance in lieu of punishment. As a mom, I am well versed with the complex inner workings of running a household. I cook, clean, and everything else for my own family. As for pets, I am a proud kitty mama and have assisted in raising over 50 neonatal kittens as a foster volunteer.

I am a working professional living in Long Beach with years of childcare experience. Since back in college, I had consistently nannied for around 6 years. I've continued to work part time in southern California with Urban Sitter for many new and repeat families. I am hard working, energetic, and reliable. I am familiar with bathing, bottle feeding, and bedtime routines. I am open to working long days or date nights. I try to respond as quickly as I can and I am also available for phone interviews!
