A little bit about me

My name is Zahara, and I’m a 20-year-old online college student currently pursuing a degree in psychology with the goal of becoming a child psychologist within the school system. 💛

I have a strong background in childcare, with experience as a nanny that cared for two energetic boys (ages 6 and 9), as well as working as a teacher assistant at an afterschool program and summer camp. In that role, I helped manage a classroom of about 10 K–12 students, along with providing care for a sweet 2-year-old.

I truly enjoy working with children of all ages and hope to create a safe, calm, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply being a reliable and caring presence, I’m here to support both kids and parents.

If you’re looking for someone dependable, patient, and passionate about working with children, I’d love to chat and see if we’re a good fit! 🌟
