About Zakiya

Experience: 2 yrs

Hi! My name is Zakiya and I hate writing bios, lol. Now that we got that part out of the way, a few fun facts about me: I am a Marketing professional on a corporate hiatus and have had previous experience as an Assistant Pre K teacher. I have cared for young kids (3-5 years old) in a professional setting as well as babysitting jobs. I'm comfortable caring for 1-2 kids at a time. Parents find me patient, calm, creative, and approachable. I follow parents' lead when it comes to household rules and communication preferences. I love playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games. I am also happy to help with cooking, homework and meal preparation. I hope to bring my enthusiasm for learning and fun to your family :)

We absolutely loved Zakiya. She was kind, attentive, dependable, and genuinely cared for our child. She created a safe, loving environment and communicated clearly with my husband and I. We always felt very comfortable and confident leaving our daughter in her care.
