Hi, I'm Ava! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, then moved to the East Coast with the family I was nannying for at the time. I just moved to Modesto and am looking to meet new families! I've always loved working with kids- I started babysitting when I was 12 and then at my local YMCA when I was 15. I worked summer camp, after school, and child watch programs- with children ranging from 6 months to 11 years in age. When I was 17, I started nannying. My typical duties included driving the kids to after school activities, taking them to the park, meal prep, light housework, and general care. I am very comfortable doing basic chores around the house (e. g. dishwashing, laundry, driving the kids places, and other activities) and I have my own car. While on the East Coast I babysat for multiple families and made awesome connections, I'm really excited to do that here in Modesto! :) My current availability is evenings and weekends. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I have been working with children for 15 years and I still love it. I worked at a daycare center as an infant toddler teacher for five years. I taught swim lessons to all ages. I am currently a nanny for over 5 years. I love to be outside taking walks, or at a park. I like to do art activities, make up scavenger hunts, read books, play board/card games, legos, and just follow what the child is into. Usually just make up games. A babysitter should be a fun time for the child. I am happy to do easy meals for the kids and some cleaning.
I am a responsible and caring individual. In college I studied early child development, nutrition and prerequisites for nursing. In the past, I worked in a home daycare with my aunt, that she owned. The age group ranged from 6 months to 5 years old to prepare them for kindergarten. I am CPR, first aid and AED certified. I work at a daycare and assist as a one to one support. I am currently a Behavioral Technician and use my ABA therapy skills at home visits. I learned the skills to teach children everyday life skills so they can be independent. I babysit my nieces and nephews when my family needs help. I have experience with infants from newborns- children up to 15 years old. I love being around children they are so funny and sweet. I enjoy going on walks and parks with kids so they can enjoy the outdoors. I love to play board games and cards. I am currently a nanny on Saturdays for the first kiddo I accepted on this app. I have now been with the family for 1 year. I love to be outdoors, hiking and camping.
Hello all! My name is Karinna. I'm a responsible, reliable, and optimistic person. I have taken care of my nephew and my niece since they were little babies. I have also had the opportunity to take care of many families' little ones before joining this app. If you'd like to know more about me and/or my experience, do not hesitate to contact me. Have a blessed day! Karinna
“Was so great with out kids and was a pleasure to work with! ”
I've been working with children and students for over 10 years as a teacher's aide in special education, as well as being an aunt and helping raise my two nephews and niece :) I've babysat many children over the years and enjoy providing care and educational learning to help foster positive growth and development! :) can provide references!
