I have many years of nanny/babysitting experience. I enjoy working with children of all ages and helping them learn and improve their knowledge, skills, and self-esteem. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from UMD but decided to make a career change a few years ago to contribute to something that I am passionate about.

Rose was an excellent babysitter and completely put me at ease so that I could attend an urgent evening work meeting. She was in communication with me via text before and during the job. She kept my 8 year old son engaged and having a wonderful time making paper monsters from a book that Rose brought with her. She made dinner for my son and his friend and cleaned and tidied areas of the apartment. She also helped organize areas of my apartment and set up my TV, DVD player, and computer monitor, all of which was a huge help. I highly recommend Rose!

I am here to fill in the gaps, occasionally acting as a mother’s helper, and fully vaccinated! 20 + years of experience as a nanny/caregiver, who is BLS/CPR Certified with additional certifications to serve in healthcare. With that being said, I am superb at multitasking with kids of all ages, including pre-mature, middle school age, and teenagers in addition to having more than one child in my care. Major help is provided with meal preps, for example, breakfast, lunch, and dinner including assistance with homework assignments, projects, if necessary. Parents, my job is to make your daily plus and I am open to driving kids to and from activities in family cars. I am very passionate about my job, which leads to me being very reliable, loyal, humble, dedicated, trustworthy which initially helpful to have honest open communication with both parents. I love to teach, discipline, and interact with the kids at all times, with lots of patience. Priorities are to be discussed with parents, to make sure that I meet each and everyone needs at all given times, for example: making sure the kids environment are always safe, favorite activities, bed routines, allergy reaction, and if any medication is needed to be administered at my present time...Parents, if you are looking for a fun, respectable, responsible, reliable, humble trustworthy caregiver! Remember, I am here for you! Why?? To make your life routine with childcare a bit more relaxing and stress-free!

Valentia is fantastic! 1st time sitting for us and she's coming back tomorrow!!

Hi! I’m Danielle. I’m certified in Anxiety Counseling and have been coaching kids and adults to incorporate wellness practices daily. I’m the proud author of the children’s book; Hugging Olivia. I’ve been providing childcare in the local DMV area since 2019 and have loved to see these little ones grow up.

Danielle is extremely reliable, energetic and great with children. We had a great experience working with her - she is a great cook and was super sweet with my 2 year old son.

I have loved caring for children for as long as I can remember, and with over 15 years of experience, supporting and nurturing kids has become a true passion of mine. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, which has strengthened my ability to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), giving families added confidence in my skills and reliability. I am dedicated to creating a positive, engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. While I plan to further my education in the future, I am currently focused on doing what I love most working closely with children and being a dependable, caring presence in their lives.
