For the past two years, I have had the opportunity to nanny and care for children of different ages, which has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me. I enjoy building genuine relationships with children, keeping them engaged through activities, and creating a safe and positive environment where they feel comfortable and supported. In addition to nannying, I have worked with children through dental office internships, where I learned how important patience, kindness, and clear communication are when helping kids feel at ease. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with children, adapt to their individual needs, and provide dependable care that parents can trust.

Hi everyone! I just moved here from Charleston, SC and am starting school soon at GWU for an MPH in Health Policy. I have experience babysitting regularly from college and my gap year. I babysat a pair of infant twins for almost a year and two toddler siblings for about 8 months before moving here. I also have experience with overnight babysitting and weekend/extended sitting. I love being interactive, trips to the park, fun restaurants, etc. Also, I am gluten intolerant so I am familiar with gluten-free foods. Additionally, I speak both English and Spanish. I look forward to meeting new families in the DMV! :)
