Hi! I'm Ester, and I have over 13 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. For the past year, I've been working full-time with the same family, caring for their little one since he was just 3. 5 months old. Watching him grow into a happy, curious 15-month-old has been incredibly rewarding. I have strong references from this family and take pride in building trusting, long-term relationships with both parents and children. In addition to my full-time nanny position, I've worked with many families throughout Alexandria and the surrounding area for date nights and occasional care. I'm proud of the lasting relationships I've built-many parents continue to reach out whenever they need childcare. I have a background in Psychology, coursework in child development, and experience as a nanny, in daycare nurseries, schools, and children's recreation. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and would Read more love to support your family! I'm also available as dog/cat sitter.

Ester sat for our cat while we were on vacation and neither we nor our cat could have been more happy. She visited twice daily, sending us photos and videos of our cat so we knew all was well and it was clear that our cat loved her company. Ester is a gem and we would recommend her to anyone.

Ester was great to work with! She was happy to come over and meet our family ahead of time and got along great with our 1 year old. She's also on time, communicative and respectful.

Ester was amazing! She watched my energetic 2 and half year old and very shy 9 month old. She was the first person to put my 9 month old to bed outside of myself/Mom and she did great! My daughter was even asking for her the next day! She showed up on time and kept us updated throughout the night. Will 100% use her again!

We are so grateful Ester came to watch our six month old on short notice! She was really friendly and took good care of him. When we got home he was asleep and she had washed all the bottles.
