Hi there! I have been a nanny and/or involved in childcare for almost ten years. I grew up in College Park, Orlando, FL and that is where I had my first nannying jobs. I was privileged to become close with my neighbors who had just moved next door and we became quick family friends. They had just had their first child and now they have four! I took care of all children throughout their lives until they moved to Utah about four years ago. Through them I found that I had a natural ability to care for children. Through word of mouth, I started nannying other families in the Orlando area and resumed during the summers when I was home from college. After I gradutated college in 2013, I came home to study for the LSAT in preparation of law school. During that two year period that I remained in Orlando, I continued to nanny for several families. This nannying included dropping off and picking up from school, transporting to afterschool activities, night sitting, overnight sitting, etc. I also would attend to household duties including laundry, washing and/or empting of dishwasher, the feeding and walking of animals, etc. After attending law school and passing the Florida Bar, I continued to nanny for families [(throughout COVID-19 for those parents who had essential jobs (e.g., a nurse)] while also working at a large insurance company part-time. Eventually, in September 2021, I decided to make the move to Washington, D.C., a goal I had always had. Although I eventually want to resume my law career, providing care to children and being able to assist parents with those they value most important is still a passion of mine that I want to continue. Throughout my nannying career, I have cared for newborns/ infants (e.g., twins, including one with a disability), toddlers, elementary aged children, middle school aged children, and even offering after-school homework help to children in high school. In addition, I have had the privilege to travel with several families on trips on multiple occasions (e.g., Utah and Vermont). Overall, I find myself to be set apart from other nannies or child care providers because I have been able to witness children at every stage of their life, providing me with a unique set of skills for whatever a family may need or require out of a babysitter/ nanny.
I am an Autism Author and one of the Thinking Moms. I am also an Uber/Lyft Driver, private Chauffeur, varsity tutor, and a Certified Brain Trainer with Life Kinetik. I am also a former Substitute Teacher of 10 years. I Love children and am a Mother of 3 girls now in their 20's. I believe behavior is how a child sees, how a child hears, and how a child feels. I have a social Work degree and I have also done studies in Medical Assisting.
“There is something awesome about Mary! She was punctual, fun, kind, and my son and his best friend loves her! ”
Hello, my name is Rachel and I have 20 years of experience taking care of pets ever since I was a child. I’ve always loved taking care of pets and have been the main caretaker of our family pets.
I am a caring, reliable, and patient caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, and households. I value safety, kindness, and clear communication, and I take pride in helping families feel supported and at ease.
I’m Michelle and I’m very good with children. I have been working as a nanny for the past 5 years and I have plenty of experience caring for children and seeking to deliver child care excellence. I’m trustworthy, loyal, responsible, punctual, flexible and a loving and dedicated babysitter. I’m from Colombia so my native language is Spanish and I love to teach a second language to the children. I’m looking for a full time position (20-25 guaranteed hrs per week). I would love find a family who I could grow and partner and provide a happy and safe environment for the children.
