Hi, my name is Kayeann and I have been working as a nanny for 41 years and I love what I am doing. Children are a blessing to work with in my eyes, I adore working with newborns through five years old because that is the most important years of their lives. During the first five years children are a sponge and learn so much. Children over all are just a pleasure to work with. I love working with the future of the world and inspiring them to be the best they can be.
Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.
“Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.”
I love kids of all ages & have a lot of patience. I’ve been a nanny, babysitter, & gymnastics teacher. I’m currently in nursing school specifically wanting to be a pediatric nurse. I have a flexible schedule, drive my own car, CPR certified, & overall know how to bring a smile to a kid.

Hi! I’m Stavroula (Lula for short!). I recently graduated from George Washington University and will be starting my master’s program this fall. I’ve always loved working with children and have years of hands-on experience caring for my two younger twin brothers while growing up, as well as babysitting many of their friends. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, reading stories, or just finding creative ways to stay entertained, I love keeping children engaged. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals, help with light housekeeping related to the kids, and assist with bedtime routines when needed. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I take pride in being responsible, reliable, and attentive. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the best care possible!
