Hi! My name is Stavroula, and I’ve been caring for children for years. Growing up, I helped care for my two younger twin brothers from a young age, which gave me hands-on experience with everything from keeping kids entertained to helping with daily routines and responsibilities. I also frequently babysat their friends, giving me experience with children of different ages and personalities.I recently graduated from college and will be starting my master’s program this fall. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, or keeping children engaged in fun, safe activities, I strive to create a positive and caring environment. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I always aim to provide reliable, attentive care that families can trust.

Hi, I’m Ruquyah , and I’ve been working in childcare for over 5 years. My journey began in the classroom at Northern Virginia Community College, where I studied Early Childhood Education and developed a strong foundation in child development, influenced by the theories of Erikson and Piaget. I was especially drawn to the immersion play model—believing that children learn best through natural curiosity and hands-on exploration.After two years of academic study, I gained hands-on experience in childcare centers and public schools, working with children from infancy through age 10. These experiences deepened my commitment to developmentally appropriate practices and strengthened my ability to connect with children of all ages.Currently, I’m continuing my education at Trinity Washington University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with the goal of becoming a labor and delivery nurse. I’m passionate about nurturing children’s growth and creating safe, engaging environments where they can thrive.I’m available during the week and on weekends—please feel free to reach out if you need babysitting help!
