Hi, I’m Virginia, and I work from home as an HR project manager with my own beagle-Bassett hound as a steady coworker. He’s almost 6 years old (DOB 09/2020) and playful, chill, spunky. My weekly schedule is fairly predictable and flexible so I’m looking forward to being able to help care for your dog, too!
“Virginia is the best! She is so caring and kind with our Cavapoo, Mochi, and gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pup is in such loving and capable hands. We’re so grateful for her!”
Hello! My name is Karol, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with over two years of professional experience caring for children, plus several more caring for younger family members. I have a certificate confirming my work experience in childcare and I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, especially those not yet in daycare or school. I love connecting with little ones through play, music, and learning moments. I’m patient, nurturing, and always focused on creating a calm and loving environment where children feel safe and happy. I’m fluent in Spanish and currently improving my English. I would love to work with an English-speaking family and am happy to introduce your children to Spanish naturally through play, songs, and everyday interaction. I can help with: • Preparing meals and snacks for children • Diaper changes and nap routines • Light housekeeping and children’s laundry • Keeping play areas tidy and organized • Engaging them in creative, screen-free activities I’m looking for a respectful and kind family who values open communication and trust.

Hi! I’m Katherine, I’ve worked as a YMCA camp counselor for several years with kids ages 5–13, mostly 7–10-year-olds. I love keeping kids active, creative, and having fun while making sure they’re safe and cared for. I also currently work as a TA for accounting at AU, (I'm a current senior studying Finance and Econ), and am happy to help with HW or academic needs.

Hi! My name is Stephani. I’m a bilingual, dependable, and patient caregiver with experience supporting school-aged children. I’m attentive, calm, and genuinely enjoy creating a fun, warm, and safe environment. Families appreciate that I show up prepared, stay engaged, and adapt easily to each child’s personality and routine. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, simple meals, bedtime routines, and light household tasks. I speak fluent Spanish and have experience helping children with learning a second language. My goal is always to make parents feel at ease and kids feel supported, understood, and excited to spend time together.
As a high school teacher, lacrosse coach, loving Aunt, and dog owner, I bring years of experience working closely with children and teens in both educational and athletic settings. I'm passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for kids of all ages. My background has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of child development and behavior. I have my B.S. in Biobehavioral health from Penn State University. I currently teach Health and Nutrition at St John’s College High school, and I’ve also worked at several different universities including Boston University and Georgetown University. According to feedback I’ve received from supervisors, I create a safe and welcoming environment and successfully keep children engaged and interested in class. I’ve coached all levels of lacrosse including youth, high school, and college. I also have experience being a live-in caregiver for my grandmother. I’m comfortable with light household tasks and pet care. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring.
