A very strong, passionate, energetic, jovial, dynamic and hardworking young lady. I live in Silver Spring Maryland and have my own transportation. As the first child of my family (with four younger siblings) I became familiar with responsibility at a very young age. I have literally been a mother since birth. :) My personality is quite calm and gentle. I am very communicative and make sure I become friends with the children in my care. It makes them feel more secure and comfortable. I enjoy cleaning a lot and seeing places neat and organized makes me happy. My years of experience at the daycares I worked in gave me ideas on Montessori... Very creative. I enjoy reading to kids and sharing stories with them. We actually take turns. I love painting, drawing and playing with kids. I'm very fluent in English and French and I am willing to teach kids French. I treat infants like my kids, and older kids like my siblings. CPR/First Aid trained and certified. Very patient and spontaneous. I will be honored working with you and your family. Stay blessed

Hi Families, My name is Ana Paula, I’m 32 years old and originally from Brazil. I have over 5 years of experience working with infants and toddlers. Caring for children has always been more than just a job for me, it’s truly my passion. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and I strive to create that kind of environment every day. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, responsible, flexible, and love supporting children’s growth. I’d be happy to share more and get to know your family!

I love taking care of children, and pets. I have many years of experience taking care of both children, and infants. I will treat your children, family, pets, and home, as if they were my own. I am very flexible, friendly, and accommodating, and welcome “real time” feedback. I grew up, on a farm, in Wisconsin, so I’ve always taken care of animals, my entire life, and it is second nature to me. I had chores, from a VERY early age, on the farm, and was responsible for the care, and well being, of all the animals that I took care of. I really enjoy being active, and being outdoors, so I would love to spend time, with your child, and pet, outdoors, if possible. Trips to the park, stroller rides, walking to the ball park, arts and crafts, interactive story time, reading aloud from different kinds of books, are all activities that I love. I’ve also played the piano since I was nine years old, and would love to share my love of all things music, with your child. If you have a piano, in your home, we can even do some impromptu mini-piano lessons, if your child is interested. I have lots of years of experience taking care of families that have multiple children. I am also comfortable preparing meals, and snacks, sometimes even for the parents. 😆. I am comfortable with picking up around the house, making sure things are organized for when mom and dad get home, and throwing some laundry into the wash machine, and dryer. I do love pets too, and dogs are my absolute favorite.

Hello, my name is Jasmin and here is a little bit about me. I have 3 younger siblings whom I have baby sat and raise throughout the years. In my personal experiences, I have babysat children from ages 2 and up and jobs consisted of helping with homework, playtime, and bedtime duties. Implement developmentally appropriate entertainment, fair discipline and creating stimulating environment for children in my care. I can clean, organize, work well with both as an individual or part of a team, and complete a request to the prime of my capacity. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication Disorder and Sciences and a doctorate degree in Audiology. Throughout my studies and I have taken three child development courses. I see how many of the different topics I learned in my child development classes help me in my interactions with the children and I have applied many strategies I have learned in applying fair discipline and a stimulating environment while the children are in my care. I admire working with children and create activities to keep entertained, imaginary play, dancing, board games, and an aptitude for arts and crafts. I have excellent communication skills and I enjoy talking to and helping out people. I pride myself in taking on challenges and growing and learning from my different experiences whether they are good or bad. Any experience is a good learning experience. I look forward to the contingency I gain and the household I will accommodate. Thank you.
