I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning with caring for my nephew during his early childhood. Through that experience, I developed strong skills in supervising children and responding to children's individual needs with patience and compassion. As a parent myself, I have continued to build on those caregiving skills by providing a nurturing, structured, and supportive environment for my own child. In addition to my childcare experience, I am currently attending college to pursue a degree in nursing and work part-time as a Medical Assistant. My healthcare background has enhanced my knowledge of safety, basic medical care, professionalism, and compassionate patient-centered care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing quality care while ensuring the well-being and development of every child in my care.

Hello my name is Zucely. I am 22 years old. I am a very gentle, kind, responsible and caring person. I love going on walks and listening to music. I graduated college with my associates in early childhood. Iβve worked in a day care named bright horizons for a year with various ages from babies to 5 years olds which I loved. I was an assistant teacher in a toddler classroom for 6 months which I absouloutely loved as they are very curious and love exploring during this age. I also worked with families in their houses and babysat for their children mostly ages from 3-5 years old. I love doing hands-on activities with children and having them be active. My goal is to care for them and have them thrive with hands on learning activities and be a responsible and loving person towards them.

As a dedicated college student and the eldest sibling in my family, I have always embraced the beautiful nature of childrenβtheir curiosity, their boundless energy, and the way they see the world with such wonder. Growing up as the oldest, I naturally took on a nurturing role, which has given me a deep understanding of patience, responsibility, and the importance of being a positive influence. I genuinely love watching children grow, guiding them through their milestones, and being someone they can look up to. There is nothing more rewarding than fostering a safe, engaging, and loving environment where they feel supported and inspired. With my experience, warmth, and passion for childcare, I am eager to make a meaningful impact on every family I work with.
