About Zakiya

Experience: 9 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I started working with kids when I was 16 years old as a camp counselor in New York. Over the past 9 years I've held many childcare positions such as substitute teacher, teacher's assistant, teacher, and paraprofessional. I am currently attending the University of Houston-Downtown, my major is Social work. I'd describe my personality as compassionate, adventurous, and determined.

I am thrilled to share my experience with Zakiya who has been an invaluable part of our family as a caregiver for our children. From the very first day, it was evident that she possess a genuine passion for working with kids. Zakiya has an incredible ability to connect with children, making them feel safe, valued, and loved. She engages them in meaningful activities that not only entertain but also promote learning and development. Whether it's through arts and crafts, outdoor play, or reading time, Zakiya always brings creativity and enthusiasm, turning every moment into a fun and educational experience. What truly sets Zakiya apart is her patience and understanding. She handles challenging situations with grace and composure, ensuring that the children feel heard and supported. I have seen firsthand how she fosters a nurturing environment that encourages my kids to express themselves and grow in confidence. Communication with Zakiya has always been seamless. She provides regular updates on the kids' activities and any notable moments, which gives me peace of mind knowing they are in such capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Zakiya to any family looking for a caring, responsible, and engaging caregiver. She has made a lasting impact on our lives, and we are incredibly grateful for the love and support she provides to our children. Thank you, Zakiya for being such a wonderful influence in our children's lives
