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! 🌟

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences for children, especially through art and music. Whether it’s crafting, singing, or introducing kids to new creative activities, I love encouraging them to explore their creativity. When it comes to music and art, I am a big advocate. As both an artist and a self-taught musician who plays several instruments, I believe that, for the right child, music and art can provide a safe space to express themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny, to me, is creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where children feel valued and understood. I believe in building trust not only with the children but also with their families, while helping kids grow, learn, and gain confidence in themselves.

My experience with special needs children...

One of my favorite interactions was with a special needs child I cared for who had autism. His parents didn’t believe he could use the bathroom on his own—until I started working with him and helped him gain that independence.
