I am a certified Early Childhood/Special Education teacher (PK-2), working at NAEYC accredited child centers, public and private schools. I received my B.S in Child Development with a minor in American Sign Language and my M.S in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am also first aid and CPR certified.

Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with 10+ years of professional nanny experience and 2 years as a German Au Pair living with an American family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once. I can help with everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework, meal prep, and fun activities. I’m calm, organized, and happy to tidy up so you can come home to a smooth, settled house. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust is. My goal is simple: happy kids and relaxed parents

I adore Mona. Our family has known her for about 5 years now. Our daughters are best friends (from ages 5 to 9 currently), and I am so glad for that. We trust Mona - she’s smart, caring, generous, thoughtful and intentional. She believes in teaching and allowing kids age appropriate independence. She recognizes and meets kids where they are but also has a lot of fun. Mona is reliable, responsible and a great communicator - she drives my kids to school and takes them on fun adventures. She is artistic, loves animals, enjoys the outdoors, loves to garden and cook, and is very involved and active in her daughter’s school. Finally, I witness and observe how Mona is raising her own daughter. Not only am I incredibly grateful that my kids get the benefit of Mona’s huge heart and genuine care, but I too have grown as a parent from knowing her.

Diana has 5/5 ratings from my me and my husband! Diana was extremely accommodating when we needed immediate childcare for our 1 and 3 y/o kids. She was timely, reliable and oh, so good to our kids! She kept them safe, healthy and happy, which is exactly what we needed. She cared for them I’m our home for a week and my 3/year old still asks when Diana is coming back to play with her. Thank you, Diana.
Zaina H.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

Zaina nannied for my 1-2 year old son and was exceptional addition to our family. She truly does her job with love and passion and made my son her top priority. she was very accommodating when we needed last minute changes or help which she didn't need to do but always wanted to help and make our lives easier. She took my son to the park and library, fed him, changed him. I loved how she incorporated education and development in his daily life which is a plus with her background. Always made sure to clean after him. She has me and my husband top recommendation, we felt very comfortable and trusting with her!

Marielena has consistently demonstrated outstanding qualities that make her a wonderful nanny. She is not only caring and attentive to Mia's needs, but she also goes above and beyond to maintain a clean and organized environment. I’ve been especially impressed with her attention to detail in keeping Mia's play area tidy and in order. Marielena ensures that Mia’s toys and activities are always neatly arranged, which contributes to a calm and structured environment for our daughter to play and learn. Her conscientiousness extends beyond cleanliness—Marielena is punctual, reliable, and proactive in her approach to childcare. Mia has flourished under her care, and I can see how much she enjoys their time together. Marielena engages Mia with age-appropriate activities, promoting her development and encouraging both creative and cognitive growth. She has also been great at communicating with us about Mia’s daily routine, providing regular updates on her activities, meals, and milestones.

She interacts with our children in a way that is both engaging and educational, fostering a sense of curiosity and creativity in them. My children benefited greatly from interactions that involve positive emotions, high levels of engagement, and opportunities for exploration and learning.

Her keen attention to detail and proactive approach have been invaluable to our family, especially during major milestones, especially that what can be dreaded task of potty training. Ashley successfully guided us through this challenging process not once, but twice. I cannot recommend Ashley enough as a nanny for your family. I am confident that Ashley will exceed your expectations and provide your children with the love, care, and support they need to thrive.
