Meet Achwil
- Comfortable with pets
Hello, my name is Achwil! I’m an upbeat, responsible caregiver who genuinely loves creating fun, nurturing environments for kids. I’m very hands-on and enjoy planning engaging activities like baking, library trips, museum visits, crafts, and outdoor games. Whether it’s a structured outing or a spontaneous water balloon fight, I’m always excited to bring ideas to life and keep kids active, curious, and happy. I have nine years of professional nannying experience with multiple families, caring for children ranging from just four weeks old to 12 years old. As one of eight children myself, caregiving has always come naturally to me, and I’m very comfortable managing different ages, personalities, and routines. In addition to nannying, I have eight years of experience tutoring math and English for students ages 5–14, and I spent a year working as a substitute teacher at a Montessori school, supporting students from infancy through middle school. These Read more experiences have strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I earned my BA in Economics from Providence College and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Management at Johns Hopkins University. I would love to connect with families looking for an experienced, reliable, and engaging sitter!
