Booked by 1 family in Saint John, IN

I am fun loving of all kids and pets. With my own daughter I learned a lot about growing children and how to teach and help them grow into the best part of themselves. I also know what it means for parents to have a break, and can easily make sure to give you the peace of mind needed when taking a much needed break.

Zamzam $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Zamzam. I’m an experienced caregiver, educator, and working professional with a genuine love for helping others. I’m currently working on a passion project and looking to earn some extra income doing something I’ve always enjoyed—caring for and supporting others! I have experience caring for people of all ages, from infants and young children to older adults. My background as both a caregiver and educator has taught me the importance of patience, communication, reliability, and creating an environment where people feel safe and comfortable. I’m compassionate, dependable, and easy to communicate with, and I’m happy to work with families to understand their routines, preferences, and what makes their household run smoothly. I also have my own reliable vehicle, which gives me flexibility with transportation, activities, errands, and outings. Whether you’re looking for someone to keep your little ones safe and engaged, help with everyday routines, or simply be an extra set of dependable hands, I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!
