Hi families! My name is Zelal, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about myself. 🌟 I have 4+ years of childcare experience and truly love what I do. When I first came to the U.S., I worked as an au pair caring for 4 amazing kids (ages 7, 5, 3, and 2). Since then, I’ve been working as a live-out nanny and currently look after three sweet babies 💛 I enjoy spending time with children of all ages—whether that’s playing outside , doing arts & crafts , reading stories , or creating fun little learning activities. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, happy, and loved, while also keeping things fun and engaging. 🏡 Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like cooking 🍳, tidying up 🧹, organizing , or errands to make life easier for busy parents. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs 🐕), so if you have pets, I’ll be more than happy to care for them too! 🌟 Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, caring, and reliable. I always bring a positive attitude and treat each child as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and be a supportive, trustworthy part of your team 💕
“Zelal is a trustworthy and accountable sitter. We’ve worked with her for over a year for regular date nights and one off coverage needs. She’s knowledgeable and kind, and my 3 year old always says she has fun. Zelal is engaged and very willing to take my daughter to the park, on walks, or suggest home based activities. Highly recommend!”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
