Hello parents, My name is Ana, 30 yo and currently looking for an occasional babysitting position. Originally from Brazil, I have been living in the US for eight years and worked as an Au pair and nanny during this time. I’m comfortable with the kids routine, playdate, meal prep, bath and bed time. I am very flexible and would consider myself easygoing and organized. I love to be outdoors and organize fun and safe activities. Also it’s important to mention that I am non-smoker and love animals. I am looking forward to hear from you! Thank you, Ana
“Ana was great with our 4 year old & 11 month old. Both took to her quickly and our 4 year old said she had fun playing together!”
I have 25 plus years of experience caring/teaching children and managing a home. Besides raising three children of my own, I have also taught swimming lessons for 20 summers, substitute taught, homeschooled, cared for twins, managed diabetes, am CPR/AED/First Aid certified, Newborn Care Specialist cert, Birth and Postpartum Doula certs, held live-in and live-out positions in the MD, VA, DC area, and have excellent references. I enjoy taking children on fun outings to the zoo, library, parks, museums, live music, puppet shows, feed the ducks, etc. I am also very active and play or have played most sports. In addition to having fun with the children, I am very educational minded and I teach them at all stages of development--sitting, walking, talking, ABC's, numbers, colors, shapes, reading, manners, respect, thankfulness, kindness, sharing, etc. Kids love me and I love them! I do have a current background check and am happy to bring it with me or send to you by email.
Hi Families! I’m Daisia and my background in Child Development & Family Studies, paired with my hands-on experience with children of all ages-from infants to adolescents-has shaped a genuine love for what I do. I’ve worked with multiples, including twins, and truly enjoy creating a supportive, engaging environment for children to grow and thrive. It would be a pleasure to join your family and team.
“Daisia was great! Prompt, communicative, caring, and easygoing. My 2yo daughter got along with her instantly. ”
