Zulay $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi families! 😊 My name is Zulay, I’m 21 years old and I’m currently working as a nanny. I have experience taking care of children of different ages, and I truly enjoy spending time with them in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m responsible, patient, and creative. I love planning activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and helping with homework. I also speak Spanish (native) and English, so I can support bilingual learning if needed. I’m comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, preparing simple meals, and following family routines. My goal is always to make children feel happy, safe, and supported. I’m available on weekends and some evenings. I would love to help your family! Feel free to message me 😊
