I am an educator with 20 years of experience. Passionate about kids. I’d love to get into a middle school tutoring space. Hands on way of teaching that makes things enjoyable for kids.
Hi! I’m Zuriel and I’m passionate about supporting families and creating a calm, organized home environment. I’m currently pursuing a career in occupational therapy and have hands-on experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including children with developmental and physical needs. I’m reliable, nurturing, and love creating meaningful routines that support kids’ growth while making life easier for parents. ⸻ Child Care I have several years of experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to school-aged kids. I currently work part-time as a nanny and also provide respite care for a 2-year-old with cerebral palsy. I enjoy engaging kids in developmentally appropriate play, sensory activities, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework or school readiness skills. I’m trained in child development and safety practices through my occupational therapy education, and I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every child care setting. I can also cook simple, healthy meals and assist with bedtime routines or transitions. ⸻ Pet Care I’m comfortable around pets of all sizes and breeds, including dogs and cats. I can assist with feeding, walking, playing, and light grooming if needed. I’m also okay with animals that shed and can provide loving attention and companionship while you’re away. ⸻ Household Services I truly enjoy cleaning, organizing, and creating functional spaces. I can assist with daily tidying, deep cleaning, laundry, dishwashing, decluttering, errands, and meal prep. I bring a detail-oriented, efficient approach to every task and am happy to use your supplies or bring my own cleaning equipment if requested. ⸻ Whether you need consistent weekly support or occasional help, I’d love to connect and see how I can make your life easier!
