About Zaria
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi there! My name is Zaria and I'm a childcare professional with over eight years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. My background includes working as a professional babysitter, full-time nanny, and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), giving me the skills to support a wide range of personalities and learning styles. I've had the joy of caring for children in home and classroom settings, including those with special needs. My caregiving philosophy centers on intentional and mindful interactions that help to build trust through empathy, active listening, and positive reinforcement. I've taken coursework in Child Development, Child Psychology, and Applied Behavior Analysis, which gives me a strong foundation in how children think, learn, and grow. When I'm not working, you can usually find me cooking, reading, writing, singing, or painting. I'm dedicated to creating a joyful, nurturing space where every child feels valued and supported.
Most recent review
Zaria has been such a wonderful support for my 12-year-old daughter, who has ADHD. From the very beginning, she showed incredible patience, understanding, and care. My daughter is naturally shy and reserved, but Zaria’s gentle and engaging personality really helped her open up and feel comfortable. Their connection has grown beautifully, and I’ve noticed such a positive change in my daughter’s confidence and focus since Zaria started working with her. Zaria is kind, smart, and intuitive. She seems to know exactly how to meet kids where they are. She’s especially gifted at working with neurodivergent children and adapts so naturally to their individual needs. Whether she’s helping with homework or finding creative ways to keep my daughter motivated and focused, she approaches everything with patience and encouragement. It’s clear that Zaria has both experience and a genuine love for what she does. I truly appreciate her positive influence and the difference she’s made in my daughter’s life. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, dependable, and skilled at working with children of all personalities and abilities.
