Hi, I’m Gloria! I recently transitioned out of the tech sector after a layoff, and I’m excited to spend more time doing something I’ve always loved: helping kids grow into their full potential. Earlier in my career, I spent several years working with children of all ages across a variety of settings, and infants were always where my heart was. I spent about a year as a live-in nanny for a baby girl, starting when she was 3 months old and staying with her through 11 months — it was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. I also cared for another infant, a 3-month-old, on a regular basis, and worked with a family with a 1-year-old and a kindergartener, handling morning school drop-offs, lunch prep, daily activities, and enrichment for the younger one, like library trips and socialization time. I’d love to get to know you and your family — feel free to reach out anytime! **Other Experience with Kids** • Girl Scout educator • Art educator • Educator at a children’s home in Ghana **Certifications** Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED: American Red Cross, valid through August 2028 **Pets in the Home** Please note that I am allergic to bunnies and cats, so unfortunately, I cannot help families with either.

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I'm a longtime early childhood educator and new mom looking to connect with a local family seeking a nurturing, Montessori-inspired environment for their little one. I have 10+ years of professional experience working with young children, primarily in the Loudoun County area. Throughout my career, l've served as a Teacher, Assistant Director, Senior Assistant Head of School, and Head of School, with the latter part of my career spent in the Montessori community. I also have several years of private nannying and babysitting experience. Since becoming a mom, l've been looking for a way to combine two things I love: being present with my almost one-year-old daughter while continuing to teach, nurture, and support young children. I would love to find a family whose child could spend their days learning and growing alongside her. We live in the Harpers Ferry/Bakerton area, near Shepherdstown, and have created a beautiful Montessori-inspired space in our home for young children. Our days would follow a calm, nurturing rhythm with Montessori-inspired activities, practical life, art, sensory exploration, books, music, movement, independent play, and plenty of outdoor time. We especially love nature and being outside! I hold a college degree in General Studies and am CPR and MAT certified, with experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and young children. I'm passionate about respectful caregiving, independence, child-led learning, and creating meaningful connections. I'm primarily seeking a part-time arrangement but am flexible with days and hours. Care would take place in our home, although l'm open to morning pick-up and afternoon drop-off if helpful. Most importantly, I hope to find a family who values a small, loving, home-like environment where their child receives individualized attention, spends lots of time outdoors, and has a little companion to learn and grow alongside. I'd love to connect!
