A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Zanilyah, and I’ve been surrounded by children my entire life. My grandmother owned a daycare, so I practically grew up in a child care setting. I’m currently a junior at the University of Illinois at Chicago, majoring in Education with a concentration and endorsement in Early Childhood Education. I come from a big family and am the oldest of five siblings and many cousins, so caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also fluent in sign language, as I come from a Deaf family, and I love using it to help children communicate in expressive ways.

More About Me

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

Working at a daycare center, where I cared for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children
Babysitting regularly for multiple families (including experience with infants as young as 2 months)
Supporting children with speech delays and using sign language to enhance communication
Helping raise my younger siblings and cousins, managing everything from feedings to school prep

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love activities that spark creativity and curiosity—like painting, reading, pretend play, singing, and outdoor adventures at the park. I also enjoy incorporating educational games and simple sign language into play to support learning and development.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is building a trusting and loving bond with the children and their family. I believe in creating a safe, consistent, and joyful environment where children feel secure, heard, and excited to learn and explore every day.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children who have speech delays and developmental differences. I'm familiar with using basic sign language to aid in communication and have practiced patience, redirection, and positive reinforcement strategies in both home and daycare settings.
