A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Zakiya! I’m a Brooklyn-based caregiver and certified Personal Care Aide with over 10 years of childcare experience, caring for children from infancy through the preteen years. Being an aunt has also given me years of hands-on experience supporting children as they grow.

I’m patient, attentive, and value making children feel safe, heard, and comfortable. I enjoy following familiar routines while making room for play, creativity, and age-appropriate activities. As an artist who loves painting and writing poetry, I bring a creative spirit to the time we spend together.

I respect each family’s parenting preferences and believe in clear communication. I’d love to learn about your children and how I can support your family!

More About Me

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

My experience includes working as a paraprofessional, supporting children’s learning and daily classroom routines, and mentoring children and teens. I’ve also volunteered at back-to-school drives and in shelters serving mothers and their children. These experiences have strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to connect with children from different backgrounds. I bring a caring, attentive approach and want every child in my care to feel safe, valued, and encouraged.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love incorporating creativity into playtime through arts and crafts, painting, and storytelling. I also enjoy park trips and nature walks, helping with homework, and turning everyday learning into something fun and engaging. I tailor activities to each child’s age, interests, and family’s preferences.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny, to me, is being someone a child can trust completely making them feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for every single day. Kids pick up on consistency, and when they know you’ll always show up for them the same way, it builds a sense of security that shapes how they move through the rest of their world.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite memories is turning a rainy day into a full at-home ‘beach day’ for the kids towels on the floor, sunglasses on, music playing, snacks served like room service. They had no idea it was raining outside until hours later. Creating little moments of magic like that is what makes this work so rewarding.

Babysitter Available in Bedford Stuyvesant, NY: Kacey G.

Hiya! I’m happy to message you my Care.com nanny profile, which includes several strong reviews, references and a completed background check.

Since I'm fully vetted through that, I chose not to purchase an additional background check through this platform.

I’ve worked with children for over a decade, beginning as a camp counselor and later working as a live-in nanny, house manager, and reliable babysitter during my less demanding seasons. My long-term experience includes caring for children of different ages and needs, including a five-year-old with autism.

I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and feel secure. I enjoy making learning fun through activities, conversation, creative play, and age-appropriate routines. I’d be super ecstatic to bring that experience and care to your family.
