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!
I have over 2.5 years of hands-on childcare experience as an au pair, caring for two children from infancy (4 months old) through their toddler years. My responsibilities included feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, age-appropriate educational activities, meal preparation, and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment. In addition, I volunteer regularly with the Pre-K ministry at my local church, where I help supervise and engage a group of up to 10 children ages 4–6. I lead crafts, read stories, organize interactive activities, and help create a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for the children. I am a responsible, patient, and caring caregiver who enjoys supporting children’s development through play, learning, and positive relationships. As a bilingual English and Spanish speaker, I can also provide language exposure for families who value a multicultural environment.
Hello My name is Shana I am a single mother of 4. I've worked in childcare for 4 years as a lead infant teacher. My four years of experience caring for children aged 0-5 , including being lead infant teacher and working with toddlers, have solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, always striving to create a fun and engaging environment. Communication is key, so I will always keep you informed about your child's day, using your preferred method. I have a car, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. Supporting families by providing reliable care is important to me. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, and I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Only thing is I'm will be on a family trip from September 18-20 but that's all the trips I have planned for this year. I look forward to hearing back from you and being able to help you and your family.
Hi! I'm Ellie, a graduate student at American University with a passion for working with children and animals. Growing up as the oldest of five siblings with four younger brothers, I've always been surrounded by kids and have developed a natural ability to connect with them. I've spent the past several years working in various childcare and youth program roles, from managing an after-school elementary program to coordinating middle school activities through the Parks and Recreation department of my hometown, Kalamazoo Michigan. I love creating engaging, educational experiences for kids while ensuring they feel safe, heard, and excited to learn. I offer comprehensive childcare, petcare, and household services. This includes everything from babysitting and tutoring to dog walking and pet sitting, as well as light housekeeping, meal preperation, grocery shopping, and running errands. I have my own car and am comfortable with flexible scheduling. I have extensive experience with toddlers and elementary - middle school aged children. I spent a year helping manage an elementary after school program where I led activities, assisted with homework and reading, and implemented a positive behavioral reward system. For middle schoolers, I've assisted with bowling and archery programs. I also managed a community pool for four years where I regularly interacted with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, and supervised summer camp groups. I love combining creativity with physical activity! I enjoy arts and crafts projects like painting, drawing, and photography, as well as singing and playing music. I'm also passionate about getting outside, whether its going on nature walks, playing active games, or just exploring the neighborhood. Reading together, helping with homework, and playing board games are also some of my favorites. I've had dogs my whole life and have pet sat for my family's dogs countless times. I have experience with several breeds including Havanese, Schnauzers, Labs, Airedales, and Poodles. I've also handled exotic animals like turtles, snakes, bearded dragons, and even alligators, while working for an alligator sanctuary! Having recently moved to the DC area from Michigan, I'm excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to local families who need caring support. I'm reliable, responsible, and genuinely care about fostering a safe and fun environment for kids and pets. I'd love the opportunity to be someone you can count on!
Hi, my name is Jea! I’m a childcare provider based in Arlington, VA, currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience working with children through teaching, camp counseling, and my current role as an RBT supporting children and young adults across a wide range of ages and needs. I provide childcare for infants through teens (0–17) and focus on creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I enjoy a mix of educational and fun activities such as reading, creative play, outdoor time, crafts, and helping with homework and daily routines. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable with light household support related to childcare needs, such as meal/snack prep, tidying, and organization. I also have some experience with pet care, particularly dogs, and am comfortable assisting with basic care needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling, including daytime care, evenings, and occasional last-minute support when available. My goal is to provide families with consistent, high-quality care they can trust!
