We had a fantastic experience with Zakiya and cannot recommend her highly enough for any future childcare needs. We encountered an unanticipated childcare coverage gap for our then seven-month-old daughter and Zakiya was able to swoop in with little notice and provided excellent short-term care for a few weeks that got us through our first real crisis as new parents. We found her to be a true professional in every sense of the word. She was communicative, punctual, and open to any guidance we had regarding how we would like to see our child taken care of. For example, we had asked if she could keep a detailed log of every nap, feeding, and diaper change. Zakiya responded by going above and beyond, setting up an app on our phones where she could share log updates in real time. Most importantly, she was so genuine and a true natural with our daughter. We are now engaged in a daycare full-time, but we plan to continue to utilize Zakiya for babysitting whenever future date night opportunities arise. Honestly, five stars wouldn’t do justice to how highly we think of her. She is amazing!
