$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 44 families in Norfolk, VA

Hello! My name is Gina, and I’ve been working with kids for over 8 years. I started caring for my siblings at 16, then babysat for neighborhood families. Over the years, I’ve worked primarily with babies, but I enjoy working with kids of all ages. I came to the United States as an au pair in 2017 and spent a couple of years with a wonderful family. After that, I moved abroad to complete a master’s degree while teaching English to children in Spain. I returned to the DMV area in 2021 and have been working with families in DC and Maryland ever since. For the past couple of years, I’ve also been working in international development and advocacy. If you notice reviews from a while ago, it’s because I’ve maintained long-term relationships with families who still reach out to me occasionally. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like references. I’d be happy to provide them!
