A little bit about me

I am a mother of 2 grown children. I moved to Ithaca 4 yrs ago and am looking for part time work with little children. I love babies. I am a trained chef and owned a restaurant & catering business in Rochester, NY for over 25 yrs.. I taught many cooking classes to adults & children. I would prefer to make some prepared dinners for the family and not focus on housework other than laundry. I could also grocery shop if I can take the child with me.
I am very clean and a non smoker. I am ok with a pet.

A little bit about me

Hello,
My name is Zara. I am college student looking to be nanny for the summer and any other break I get from college. My major is Film, Photography and Visual Arts. I love working with kids and having fun with them. I am a very creative and energetic person. I am also very responsible and punctual. I love having fun, running around, cooking, crocheting and especially working out. Lifting is one of my favourite things to do. I grew up in a very kind and loving family and just how my parents treated me with compassion and affection, I love to babysit kids that way.
Back when I lived in California, I babysat a lot of children, Toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children. Sometimes, I would babysit one kid and other times I am asked to take care of a group of them. That's why I am good at managing stressful situations especially when children are very agitated. In fact, I grew up taking care of my cousins so I really enjoy the company of kids and babies too.
