Meet Ava

With over 5 years of nannying experience, caring for children is truly my passion. I have experience with children of all ages, but especially love working with infants and young children. I am CPR certified, dependable, energetic, and deeply committed to creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can thrive. I genuinely love building strong connections with every child I care for and embracing each of their unique personalities. Whether it’s trips to the library, park days, outdoor adventures, crafts, beach days, imaginative play, or simply spending quality time together at home, I always strive to make every day exciting, engaging, and full of positivity. I never get tired of creating meaningful experiences and memories with the children I work with. Families often describe me as nurturing, patient, trustworthy, and attentive. I care for children as if they were my own and pride myself on being someone both Read more parents and children feel comfortable with. Along with childcare, I’m also happy to assist with household tasks such as laundry, tidying up, dishes, meal prep, and light housekeeping during naps or downtime to help make life easier for busy families. I have many wonderful references from families I’ve worked with over the years, and nannying is honestly the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done. It is far more than just a job to me — it’s something I truly love and feel incredibly passionate about every single day.
