Hello There, I trust you and your family are well! You might notice my last review is from 2020, that’s simply because I’ve been fortunate to work long-term with a few wonderful families since then. My relationships often last for years, and many of the families I’ve supported have truly become like family to me. I hold a Master’s of Arts (M.A.) in School Counseling, & M.Ed in Education Policy and Leadership. I have more than fourteen years of private childcare experience ranging from newborn to 15 years of age. I support children's emotional and social development, encouraging understanding of others and positive self-concepts. My goal has always been to provide children with the necessary care. I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is fun,stimulating, encouraging, safe and adaptive to each child's individual needs. Should you have any questions, feel free to message me.

A miracle worker. Absolutely amazing. Wish she lived in SF.

Hello! My name is Lisa and I am 26 years old. I have been working on and off as a nanny and house manager since I graduated high school about 8 years ago. I have had a lot of experience being around children since I was young because my mother had an at-home daycare for 15 years. I helped along side my mom with many of the kids ranging in age from 10 weeks old to about 12 years old. Along with that I also have babysat for many families for the past 12 years. I would say most of my experience is with toddlers but I've also watched after kids up to the age of 15. I have done extended overnight stays(up to 2 weeks), vacationing with families and have experience driving to and from school, friends houses, or sports practice. I’ve also helped families with groceries, meal prep, household chores, doctors appointments and other miscellaneous errands. I have had my license for 10 years now and have a clean record. No accidents or tickets. I have my own car and insurance. Some activities I enjoy doing with kids are reading books, playing at parks or just outside, coloring, helping with homework, playing with Legos or just toys in general, and doing arts and crafts. Before the pandemic, I also worked at a children's gymnastics gym and play-place for a few months before the location I worked at sadly had to close down due to COVID. While there I learned some developmental activities for the kids I specialized with. The age group I focused on while there ranged in age from 14 weeks up to about 4 years old. I’m also fully vaccinated and adult and infant CPR and first aid certified.

Hello! I am a mother first and foremost, my daughter is now a freshman in college, so I have lots of experience working with children. Years ago, I worked within MCPS in the Pre-School Education Program (provides special education services for ages 3-5). I am currently in school as well, taking online classes but have extra time to explore my passions; education, childcare, health, and nutrition. My daughter has had a severe nut allergy most of her life, so I am used to working with and around allergies. I love the outdoors and hiking, cooking and traveling.

Hi families!! My name is Arantxa but i go by Ara and I’m 23 years old from Peru. About me I enjoy arts and crafts, go on walks, have picnics, read books, swimming, playing board games, throw the frisbee; etc, I also really like cooking different foods from my country and baking desserts (those are my favorite to cook). I consider myself an easy going person, patient, responsible, organized, hardworking, loving, kind and I can have a strong character when needed (without being aggressive) I have experience taking care of kids from the ages of 2-16, I was an au pair from 2023 to the beginning of this year and before that I used to babysit neighbors and family members since the age of 16. I am fully vaccinated and non smoker, I drive every day of the week so i’m comfortable with that. During my time as an au pair i also helped families with their pets such as taking them on walks or feeding them when needed.
