A little bit about me
I have been teaching in S E. Asia for 6 years and have returned to the United States to be closer to family. I am a caring person and love to see children thrive and grow into their full potential. I am creative and enjoy making arts and crafts with kids. I also have a passion for books and believe reading to a child is incredibly important and helps encourage their imagination.
I have many years of experience and am thoughtful, patient and kind.

Hello! My name is Zariah Franklin and I am college student studying psychology. I love working with babies, I have been taking care of them (professionally) for about 3 years now. But, I am the oldest sister in my family so I’ve been taking care of babies for as long as I can remember! I’m looking to nanny part time or after school so I can properly balance school and work.
