Hello I’m Ashley; a 5th grade teacher offering child care, tutoring,and household services while public school is closed for the summer ☀️ I’ve been a babysitter since I was 15 years old. I’ve babysat children as young as 8 months to 12 yrs old. While in college, I worked at a daycare serving children as young as 1 yr to 3 1/2 years old. I helped students develop motor skills, social skills, practice sight words, and did lots of arts & crafts! After graduating with my degree in elementary education I started teaching in Arlington, VA public schools. I specialize in elementary English language arts, science, math, and history. I have a drivers license, vehicle, and willing to drop off and pick up kids to and from school/camp. I also offer cleaning services, please have cleaning supplies available.
I have a lot of experience working with kids. I have been a gymnastics coach for the last four years working with infants all the way to teenagers. As a coach, my responsibilities have included running both classes, private lessons and summer camps. Classes and private lessons have really taught me how to most effectively communicate with kids, whereas working at the summer camps has allowed me to tap into my creativity, coming up with games and crafts that kids actually enjoy. I have always babysat on the side in addition to coaching, so I am also very familiar with any household tasks that might be expected of me- bedtime, making dinners, etc! If you have pets, I am happy to look after them as well. I grew up with two dogs and have a mini dachshund myself now- I love animals! I am very adaptable to your families needs and always communicate to the best of my abilities. Additionally, I am CPR and first aid certified!
Hi! I'm a passionate nanny with years of experience caring for children of all ages — newborns, toddlers, and preteens alike. I started nannying in high school and carried it all the way through college because it's something I truly love. I’m now working as a Compliance Consultant and want to spend the rest of my afternoons/evenings with even more fulfillment. I'm compassionate, dependable, and genuinely invested in every child's growth and wellbeing. I enjoy supporting developmental goals, helping with homework, and being a warm, steady presence families can count on. I'm also CPR and first aid certified for extra peace of mind. I'd love to learn more about your family — feel free to reach out!
Hello! My name is Karol, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with over two years of professional experience caring for children, plus several more caring for younger family members. I have a certificate confirming my work experience in childcare and I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, especially those not yet in daycare or school. I love connecting with little ones through play, music, and learning moments. I’m patient, nurturing, and always focused on creating a calm and loving environment where children feel safe and happy. I’m fluent in Spanish and currently improving my English. I would love to work with an English-speaking family and am happy to introduce your children to Spanish naturally through play, songs, and everyday interaction. I can help with: • Preparing meals and snacks for children • Diaper changes and nap routines • Light housekeeping and children’s laundry • Keeping play areas tidy and organized • Engaging them in creative, screen-free activities I’m looking for a respectful and kind family who values open communication and trust.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
