Zephaniah
Hi, my name is Zephaniah Haynes! I’m 19 years old, have my own reliable transportation. While I’m new to babysitting through this app, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family members’ children—always receiving positive feedback! I truly enjoy working with kids and making a difference in their lives. I’m respectful of every family’s rules and will always check in before making any decisions. I also love cooking (just let me know about any allergies), playing games, keeping kids entertained, and helping with homework. Plus, I don’t mind tidying up to make things easier for parents. Caring for children is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing a fun, safe, and supportive environment to every family I work with!
