A little bit about me

Hello,I’m Zinhla (Liv), 28 years old, caring, and dependable. I have experience as an Au Pair in the U.S. caring for children of different ages and previously worked as a teacher in South Africa.

I hold a degree in Psychology and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, which have strengthened my understanding of child development and behavior. I’m currently a student at Ivy Tech Community College studying in the health sciences field.

I’m available for part-time childcare (25–30 hours per week) and flexible for more hours if our schedules align. I enjoy creative play, outdoor walks, reading, and helping with homework or light household tasks. Families say I’m patient, warm, and reliable.

I believe in gentle parenting and effective communication. I always strive to understand each child’s emotions, teach through patience and empathy, and build trust through positive interaction. My approach helps create a calm, respectful, and loving environment where children feel safe and heard.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I worked as a teacher in South Africa and spent a year at a daycare supporting early childhood development. During my college years, I also nannied for several families, gaining experience with children of different ages. Later, I volunteered in community programs and worked as an au pair in the U.S., helping with daily routines, learning, and creative play.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing both indoor and outdoor activities that encourage learning and creativity. Indoors, I enjoy reading stories, arts and crafts, baking simple treats, and educational games. Outdoors, I love going for walks, playing at the park, doing scavenger hunts, riding bikes, and exploring nature. I like keeping kids active, curious, and having fun while learning new things.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is being dependable, reliable, and creating a safe, loving space where children feel supported and understood. I value open communication, patience, and trust both with the children and their parents so that everyone feels comfortable, connected, and confident in our relationship.

My experience with special needs children...

In the classroom, I worked with an 11-year-old student with autism. I focused on building trust, providing gentle guidance, and creating a supportive learning environment that helped him stay engaged and confident. This experience strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to adapt lessons to meet individual needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is watching the little boy I au paired for grow up. I met him when he was just 5 weeks old, and caring for him over three years was such a joy. From his first smile to his first steps and all the funny toddler moments in between seeing his personality blossom made every day so special.
