I am an accomplished single mother with of one eighteen year old son. My education includes an A.A and Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management. I am forty-three years old and I have cared for children since my early teen years. My experience also includes making sure that children are comfort, safe, and loved. I have previous CPR training and I am willing to gain an updated certification. I understand that it takes patience to care for children and I believe that my experience of raising my son on my own has imparted a gracious amount of patience. It is important to me to create an environment and atmosphere where children are adored, but also foster structure. I love to plan ways for children to learn early skills to help grow their development. I am certain that my personal parenthood and previous experiences will afford me to offer great childcare services.

Hi, I'm Suzana, 31 years old, and Brazilian. I’ve been in the US since 2018. I've been working as a service provider with childcare and home care for about 9+ years. Regarding childcare I have experience taking care of boys and girls, newborns to 14 years old. And since 2020 I’ve been working as a personal assistant/ house manager in parallel. About my personality: I’m kind, communicative, proactive, straightforward, and trustworthy. Household/personal assistance: I’m happy to help with: tidying, organization, laundry, dishes, trash, vacuum, schedule appointments, tasks and appointments reminders, booking trips, deal with contractors, social media manager, email cleaning, chop food, and more. But, I don’t do deep cleaning, I’m not good at it, I rather let the professionals cleaners handle this part. Childcare: 9+ years of experience taking care of boys and girls, newborns to 14 years old. I also have experience with special needs kids: diabetes, AHDH and premature. My disciplinary style: I like to listen to the kids and let them make decisions whenever is possible. I rather be more mindful than authoritarian, but it is important to me the kids know boundaries and I encourage discipline and respect. I also encourage learning, development and socialization. Tasks I’m comfortable doing as a nanny: play, drive, feed with bottle/spoon, give baths, help with homework, cook, bedtime routine, change diapers, make crafts, take to parks/museums, and go on little adventures such as a treasure hunt or a kid friendly hike. Some activities I enjoy taking kids to: Music class, swimming activities, story time and arts and crafts programs. Let me know if you are interested and I can also provided detailed experience. I have great references to share. Looking foward to hear from you. Have a great one!

Hello! I am currently studying for medical school and am working as a scribe full-time, but am looking for some extra work hours. I recently graduated from USF with a Master’s degree in public health. I have my BS in psychology/pre-med from Northwestern University. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old when I received my safe sitter license. I am certified in CPR as a certified nursing assistant and lifeguard. I have watched children of all ages and abilities, and really value all that I have learned from them. Outside of watching children, I have skills in communication, cooking, tutoring, and cleaning.

I am a loving and energetic nanny with 15+ years of nanny, certified newborn care specialist, daycare, and babysitting experience. I have worked as both a live-out and live-in nanny. **I am currently seeking only temporary/short term work (ie date nights, nanny coverage, etc.)** Taking care of children is my passion and though I’m good with all ages, I particularly love working with newborns, up to early school aged children. I’m well versed in milestones for social, fine and gross motor, cognitive, physical, and emotional skill development and work with my children to reach them. I have also potty trained the children in my primary previous family. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, a nonsmoker, and have a valid driver’s license. I place a strong emphasis on education, but believe in a holistic approach and include dancing, yoga, meditation, singing/music, arts and crafts, science, and acting in my child care. I love to do extra things for my families, including walking dogs (I love animals!), setting appointments for the child(ren) and dogs, date nights, etc. I have excellent communication skills and have great rapports with my previous families, in part, due to our open and honest dialogues. I am flexible and highly adaptable to accommodate my families when changes arise. References available.

Ashely was spectacular. I don't think I can fully articulate how incredible she was because I might miss things. She set the standard for what I expect from a nanny. Ashley worked with us for three weeks. She was always punctual, stayed late if she could, and was highly communicative and conscientious. Our daughter adored her and thrived under her care. I would have hired her as our full-time nanny without hesitation if Ashley wasn't moving away from DC. She took a tremendous amount of initiative, not just being a caregiver for our child but also helping around the house - one day, she randomly cleaned our stove when our daughter was sleeping. Our daughter talked about her for weeks after she left. I would recommend Ashley to anyone without hesitation.

I enjoy engaging children through sports and educational games that promote learning. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child's day. Since I have my own car, I am reliable and ready to assist with your family's needs. I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted partner in your child's journey.
