Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi! My name is Brianca, I am a college student. It is summer break right now. I am here to care for your children during the week. Depending on your schedule I am flexible when school begins again!! I started working with children at a very young age because I love kids. I took a child development class in high school which taught me foundational knowledge about children at a young age. This also allowed me to work face to face with children everyday. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and young children. I am also a graduate student at my university. I specialize in creating, engaging and educational activities while advancing problem solving skills and multitasking skills.

Brianca is wonderful! Extremely caring and responsible.

Booked by 4 families in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi there! My name is Nada! I’ve graduated from GMU in May of 2021 with a B.S in Psychology. I’ve worked with an agency called College Nannies Sitters & Tutors for a little over a year and a half & babysat on my own through Urbansitter/Care.com for 4 years. I’ve worked with kids/babies ranging from newborn to 12 years old. I love to do just about anything when I’m caring for a child whether its drawing, running around and playing, reading books, learning, etc. All my life I’ve been athletic, so the running around comes super in handy! I have experience caring for 3 children at a time, but for the most part it’s been 2 children or 1 child that I care for at a time. Due to having so much experience, I know what each age range tends to like to do and how to really work with them, I’d like to say I mastered it! :)
