Hi! My name is Danielle and I'm an elementary teacher assistant for Arlington Public Schools. I am offering child care during after school hours and weekends. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for children preschool-aged and older since middle school! I also have a few years of experience with infants and toddlers, and have worked in several childcare centers. I have my own car, am First Aid and CPR certified, and happy to share proof of my COVID vaccinations and background check clearance. Pricing is negotiable :)

“Dani was great with the kids and we will definitely work with her again and will recommend here to others.”

As a high school teacher, lacrosse coach, loving Aunt, and dog owner, I bring years of experience working closely with children and teens in both educational and athletic settings. I'm passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for kids of all ages. My background has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of child development and behavior. I have my B.S. in Biobehavioral health from Penn State University. I currently teach Health and Nutrition at St John’s College High school, and I’ve also worked at several different universities including Boston University and Georgetown University. According to feedback I’ve received from supervisors, I create a safe and welcoming environment and successfully keep children engaged and interested in class. I’ve coached all levels of lacrosse including youth, high school, and college. I also have experience being a live-in caregiver for my grandmother. I’m comfortable with light household tasks and pet care. Families can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and caring.

Hello! I’m Veronika, a dedicated 37-year-old mother of two outstanding high school students. I’m excited to offer my child care and household services to families looking for reliable support. With over ten years of experience in daycare, where I worked with children from three months to five years old, as well as serving as a nanny for various age groups, I deeply understand how to create a safe and nurturing environment for kids. I enjoy engaging children in arts and crafts, taking walks, and exploring outdoor activities. Safety is my highest priority, and I am committed to caring for your child as if they were my own. I believe in the power of respect and open communication, and I strive to make your family feel comfortable and confident in my care. Additionally, I’m more than willing to assist with household tasks and will gladly follow the rules of your home. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to working with you!
