Currently a media professional, I’ve always loved caring for others. I grew up with the mindset that if you take care of your community, your community will take care of you. I worked at my family’s daycare center for 5 years while in high school and some throughout college. While in college a volunteered at an underserved after school program, where I established a library and secured grants to expand the program. Working with families and children, while helping them flourish has always been a passion.
“My dog is really shy and anxious, but bonded really well with Olivia. She sent photos and videos throughout to show me he was having the best time!”
I'm a warm, loving, energetic and young at heart childcare professional, and passionate about giving high-quality care. Besides free play, I create activities that are both fun and educational, and incorporate music and art into a child’s day. I cultivate a safe, warm, and comfortable environment in which children can learn, develop, and express themselves while also nurturing social skills. I’m experienced at establishing routines and setting rules and boundaries in a gentle manner, always using positive language. Before I became a childcare professional, I first had two children of my own, a girl and a boy, two years apart. Raising them has been my biggest endeavor and accomplishment so far. They are now in college. It was the passion of raising my own two children, and my desire to understand how I could best support them on their way to become well-rounded and successful adults, which inspired me to to study and earn a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and turn this passion into my profession. During my 10yrs of working with children ranging in age from newborn to 9yrs old, I was as a nanny of an infant with a sibling, a group teacher of 25 kids, a care teacher for a pod of 4, including twins, and a co-teacher for 6 kids, 18mo-5yrs. These varied experiences with children, both in private homes and teaching in more formal preschool settings, as well as parenting, has equipped me with a unique blend of insights and skills, ideal for nurturing and educating children. I particularly enjoy working with babies, toddlers and preschoolers, and have proven many times, that I am able to take care of multiple children at a time, whether they are twins, or siblings different ages. Additionally, I would like to stress, that I am not only fluent in English, but German and French as well, should you wish to expose your children to other languages. Besides childcare I am happy to help with kid's laundry, keeping their rooms organized and clean, doing light housekeeping, cooking and baking, both healthy, child-friendly, and if desired vegetarian. In my private time I enjoy cooking nutritious and delicious recipes, including various dips, spreads and sugar-free treats, always adding to my little recipe repertoire for children. I also like to stay physically active with riding bike, pilates, swimming and dancing. I'm looking for additional babysitting 10am-3pm weekdays and weekday evenings from 7pm/7:15 on, with occasional weekends.
“I am so grateful to have found Claudia to help with my newborn during my postpartum recovery and solo parenting when my partner went back to work. She has been absolutely wonderful with my newborn, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very first time she came, she made an effort to understand his needs, which made us feel at ease. She’s a calming presence, reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my bebe is well taken care of while I get to take a break. What I appreciate most is her genuine connection with my child. She engages in a variety of activities during his wake windows and has techniques for soothing him to sleep. I’ve also noticed how attentive she is to his comfort and well-being, which gives me peace of mind. It’s clear that Claudia has a natural way with children, and I’m so thankful to have someone so trustworthy and caring looking after my son. I know he is in good hands, and that means everything to me as a parent. Highly recommend!”

“Jasmine cared for three of our children for three hours and handled three separate pickups smoothly. She was energetic, positive, and an excellent communicator. As a school psychologist, she made me feel confident that she would be capable of handling challenging behavior if it arose. She was a joy to have around, and I will definitely hire her again.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Arifah. She is one of those caregivers you immediately trust, and she consistently goes above and beyond for the children and families she works with. Arifah is kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, and she truly connects with the children in her care while always keeping safety and routines a top priority. What stands out most about Arifah is her calm, reassuring presence and her natural ability to read children’s needs. She is dependable, thoughtful, and communicates clearly, which gives parents real peace of mind. Whether following daily routines, engaging children in meaningful play, or handling unexpected situations, she does so with maturity and care. I would trust Arifah with my own children without hesitation. Any family who works with her will be fortunate to have such a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver.”
