I’m currently looking for part or full time positions. Most recently worked with a two year old and his one year old twin brothers. I’ve worked 1:1 with autistic kiddos working on speech, working through behavioral “problems” and have done sitdown table work as well with some kids in my class my first year in the school district preschool (I left that job after Covid hit and they wanted us to go back in person as well as conflict with the teacher I was a para for.) Working with kids is my biggest passion and creating connections and special bonds with them is my biggest joy. I’m very crafty and artistic and love to incorporate that in any way I can when I’m babysitting. Very basic knowledge of ASL (fingerspelling, common signs (milk, drink, eat/food, please, thank you, want, need, help, etc.)). **Fully covid Vaccinated! And boosted!**

Hello and Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience, I am a passionate and reliable nanny seeking a long-term position with a loving family. My journey in childcare began when I started watching my grandson on weekends while my daughter-in-law worked, and I quickly discovered this was my true calling. What started as helping family has blossomed into a fulfilling career that brings me immense joy every single day. ## Professional Qualifications & Experience I am certified through the Child Care Aware program with the military, demonstrating my commitment to professional standards and quality care. My extensive experience spans working with children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage and adapt my caregiving approach accordingly, whether it's providing gentle care for newborns or engaging older children in educational activities. Safety and trust are paramount in my work. I have completed comprehensive state and federal background checks, as well as a current driving abstract, all of which I'm happy to share with prospective families. These clearances reflect my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. ## What Sets Me Apart I believe in making life easier for the families I work with, not just caring for their children. My services extend beyond basic childcare to include light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining organized, clean spaces. I understand that parents have enough on their plates, so I take pride in handling these additional responsibilities to help create a smoother household routine. My approach to childcare is nurturing yet structured. I focus on creating engaging, educational experiences while maintaining consistent routines that help children feel secure and thrive. Whether it's reading stories, creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework, I tailor activities to each child's interests and developmental needs. ## References & Family-Friendly Approach I have excellent references from previous families who can speak to my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine care for their children. Many of my relationships with families have lasted years, which speaks to my commitment to building lasting, meaningful connections. I'm completely comfortable with pets and understand they're often

I’ve spent years nannying and babysitting, and I absolutely love working with kids. Growing up in a large family filled with little ones, nurturing and caring for others has always been second nature to me. I’m flexible with scheduling, have a reliable car for transportation, and I’m certified in both Basic Life Support (BLS) and First Aid. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help around the house with chores like laundry, dishes, and general tidying. I can also assist with schoolwork and homework support. I’m a big animal lover—with three dogs and a cat of my own—and I’m very comfortable in homes with pets. I also did gymnastics for 12 years, so being active and engaging with kids through play and movement is something I really enjoy. Thank you for considering my application. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for your children. -Danica

Hi! I’m Amber! I have 12+ years of experience with kids aging from newborn to age 5. My experience as an infant/toddler/preschool teacher makes a great candidate for your family! A little about why I like being a child care provider. It’s one of the most rewarding jobs to know that I’m making a positive impact in a child’s day — whether it’s through laughter, learning something new, or just feeling safe and cared for. Babysitting combines my love for caregiving with my natural patience and creativity, and that’s what makes it so fulfilling for me. If you think I could be a good fit for you please feel free to message me!

I am a Washington DC native who loves reading, gardening, the great outdoors, making crafts and baking for my friends and family. As a recent college graduate, I've been working as a substitute teacher in the DC area as well as teaching gardening workshops on the side to children in Pre-K/Kindergarten. Most of my babysitting/nannying experience has been informal; watching my brothers or little cousins for a week or a weekend. But I also have a vast amount of experience working with children 6 months to 14 years old in licensed childcare facilities, camps and schools. CPR certified!

I started nannying during college and fell in love with it. Children are wonderful and always bring so much creativity and chaos. I’ve babysat infants to 10 year olds and usually 3 to 4 children at a time. I really enjoy the infant and toddler stage the most. I have 2 years of experience with twins as well. I aim to be as helpful to the parents as I can be by implementing what they are already doing at home.
