Profile

I’ve had the pleasure of serving children and their parents for over 10 years. My experience in the public education and private clinical settings have granted me the opportunity to serve families of varying needs. As a respite caregiver for military families in Illinois, I got to give back to the parents that needed it the most, and have a blast with the most unique kiddos.

As a babysitter, I pride myself in taking the time to build rapport with children, letting them take the lead on what their day looks like while also enforcing the requirements of their parents. I am truly a kid at heart, so I can meet children at their level in both communication and play. I promise that if you pick me as a babysitter your child will have a blast, learn a ton, and build character all at once!

Reviews

Zakiah cared for my twin boys. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is patient, kind, and truly dedicated to the children she looks after. My sons always felt safe, happy, and supported in her care. She creates a nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, a...Read morend feel loved. What really stands out about Zakiah is the genuine attention and respect she gives to each child as an individual. She goes above and beyond, whether it’s helping with learning activities, encouraging positive behavior, or making sure parents feel comfortable and informed. As a parent, I always had peace of mind knowing my son was with someone so trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate. I highly recommend Zakiah to any family looking for a wonderful provider. My sons still want to see her as she was so playful and made everything feel fun. She had a way of turning ordinary moments into something special, and they miss that lightness and joy she brought into their lives.
