Hello there! Born in NJ, but from NY, I am a fun, bubbly, outgoing person who enjoys helping children learn and grow. I am a fully licensed and certified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), with a background in working with children ages birth to school-age through early intervention and within public school systems in DE, MD, and DC. I also have experience in babysitting middle school age kids and toddlers. I enjoy reading, going to concerts, volunteering, hanging with friends, and chatting with my family! I am allergic to cats and dogs. Looking forward to helping you and your child/children!

As a former educator who has worked with children ages 8 to 14 (and younger!), I bring a caring and professional touch to every family I work with. My teaching background means I genuinely understand how kids grow and learn, I know how to keep them engaged and having fun, and I stay calm and patient no matter what the day brings. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which I love because it lets me connect with even more children and families in a meaningful way. I'm also a total animal lover! I have a cat at home and have happily looked after friends' pets many times, including some with special medical needs, so families with fur babies are very welcome. On top of childcare, I'm happy to help keep the household running smoothly too. Whether it's cooking a meal, tidying up, or getting things organized, I take real pride in leaving a home feeling a little better than I found it. I know how much it means to a busy family to have that extra support. Whether you need someone occasionally or a dependable go-to sitter you can count on regularly, I'd love to be that person for your family. Working with young, growing humans truly brings me joy and more than anything, I just love being a helping hand.

Hi! I’m Ava. I am in my early full time career following graduating college in 2024. Growing up as the oldest kid on my street by about 10 years & my mom being a full time nanny, I have plenty of experience working with children of all ages and behaviors. I have long been the go-to for my community in Northern Virginia, and I’m excited to spend my free time doing the same in the DC area. Aside from babysitting, I’ve spent 4 summers as a full time nanny to two different families with children ranging from 3 to 11. Before I kicked off my full time marketing career, I worked in marketing for a summer camp in DC, where I quickly became many parent’s point of contact and go-to when children needed additional support. I make a conscious effort to lead my childcare approach with empathy & patience and it is something I have so much fun doing. Looking forward to supporting parents in the DC community!

I’m a mother of two teenage boys and a graduate student with a background in history, which has helped me develop strong organizational skills and a calm, patient approach to caregiving. I also have experience working as a nanny, where I cared for both a toddler and a six-month-old baby who truly thrived under my care. I enjoy creating a warm and engaging environment for children, with plenty of hands-on activities, reading time, simple learning games, and outdoor play. I’m committed to making sure kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. With a mix of real parenting experience and professional childcare work, I bring reliability, kindness, and a genuine care for children.
