Find an after school nanny in Meraux, LA

I am the eldest daughter in a large family including 5 children, Mom, Grandparents and Great Grandparents! I began baby sitting outside the house as a teenager and continued to work as a Nanny or Au pair through my twenties. In my 30's I began co parenting with my siblings and watching everyone's kids. I am a trained art teacher and have taught art to up to 30 children at a time all through my life. More recently I work as an art teacher for Art Klub and Camp 504. I am a playful, creative, compassionate care taker of all creatures young, old and furry.

From a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by little ones — I’m a proud middle child of 11 siblings, so caring for babies and children of all ages truly comes naturally to me. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a calm, structured environment even on the busiest days. I have two years of professional childcare experience, in addition to a lifetime of caring for infants, toddlers, and pre-teens within my own family. I am completely comfortable caring for newborns, and I can confidently handle up to three children at a time. I am BLS, CPR, and First Aid certified, have a college degree, and I’m experienced with homework help, light cleaning, cooking kid-friendly meals, and maintaining routines. My approach is patient, warm, and nurturing, but also organized — I like to keep things running smoothly so parents come home to a peaceful environment. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as outdoor play, board games, educational games, and creative projects. I’m happy to follow your household rules and adapt to your family’s preferences. I provide clear communication, including written daily notes if you’d like, and I’m flexible with whatever method parents prefer (text updates, check-ins, etc.). I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I am comfortable with pets. Above all, my goal is to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your children feel excited to see.

Hi! My name is Ava, I'm a New Orleans transplant originally from California. I went to college at University of California Santa Barbara to study Psychology and then ended up working in the film industry as a Director's Guild of America 2nd Assistant Director. I have a younger brother (6 years younger) and grew up babysitting him as well as kids in my neighborhood when I was in high school. In college I worked at a children's pottery painting studio. After college I was also assigned to take care of my boss's 3 children and coordinated their schedules between their separated parents households. My mother was an elementary and middle school teacher and helped me learn how to help tutor children with different ability levels in numbers subjects but my favorites to assist with are still art and math :) I grew up with dogs and adopted a catahoula puppy last summer.
