A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Zainab, and I am a nursing student with advanced clinical experience in maternal/newborn care. I have a passion for caring for children and supporting families. Alongside my education, I have years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my nieces, family friends’ children, and often serving as the primary caregiver. I currently work at Northwestern Hospital on a Neurology floor, caring for patients of all ages with stroke, brain injuries, epilepsy, and complex neurological conditions. This role has strengthened my skills in patient safety, attentiveness, and decision-making. I am comfortable managing routines, close monitoring, and clear communication. I am BLS certified and trained in emergency response, with safety always as my top priority. I am happy to help with infant and child care, feeding, diapering, bedtime routines, homework support, and engaging age-appropriate activities. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and supportive environment for every child.
