I am a pre-med biology graduate from Morgan State University and a certified medical assistant. These studies have strengthened my understanding of health and safety, which is crucial to being a competent caregiver. As I continue my path of education, I hope to become a pediatrician who expresses my genuine compassion for caring for kids, not just physically but emotionally as well. As one of the oldest kids in my family, I have been accustomed to babysitting for quite some time. From babysitting my newborn nieces and nephews overnight to watching my cousins for almost a week. I also have experience in animal sitting for 2 years, whether that be dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Caregiving has been a pivotal part of my life since I was younger, growing up in my household. Having to assist my younger brother and sister with homework, cooking them dinner, and being a beacon of knowledge, care, and love for them. I love caregiving because I enjoy being a dependable person that people can count on. It gives me a sense of purpose because I know that I am playing an essential role in their life. Constantly showing up and being present, supporting their development, reminds me that even little, everyday actions such as these are the ones that make a difference and create a village for kids to be nurtured and grow healthily.
“On time, kids were very comfortable and had fun while my husband and I went to the movies! ”
I’m a caring, reliable, and responsible caregiver with years of experience caring for children. As an aunt to 15 nieces and nephews, I’ve been helping care for kids since I was 10 years old and have experience with children of different ages and personalities. I’m very comfortable around kids and tend to connect with them easily—I’m often the person they are excited to see! I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy keeping children engaged through play, activities, and outings. I also have my own car and can safely take children to nearby activities, parks, libraries, appointments, or other approved locations. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.
My name is Zizet, I’m retired from NYC Health and Hospital corp after 30 years as Coordinating Manger in the finance dept. After raising 4 children and 2 grandchildren I felt that I have the time and energy to help other families which I started the Nanny Job two years ago. Feel free to contact me for availability and references.
Hi families! I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience with toddlers and young kids, and I enjoy creating fun, engaging, and safe environments. I’m attentive, organized, and happy to help with daily routines!
