I am an experienced and enthusiastic nanny who loves taking care of children. I began working as an Au-pair and nanny for families.

I possess an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education and a certificate in First Aid as well as a certificate in CPR. Children are my highest priority. I truly enjoy making arts and crafts with children, creating activities for supporting dramatic play, storytelling, and outdoor activities. I love to be around with children, and I love to support children, nurse them, help them explore their new world and help them grow. Seeing children smile and laugh is a big reward for me. I am a reliable, patient, organized, active and friendly person.

Hello! My name is Renna and I am currently working full time as a nurse at Children's National but am hoping to work one time child care jobs here and there! In addition to my pediatric nursing experience, I also have a lot of child care experience. I have been babysitting steadily since I was 16 years old and worked as a camp counselor for 4 summers. I have held many regular babysitting and nanny jobs. Most recently I worked for a family as their full time nanny for their two children ages 6 months and 4 years over two years before going to nursing school. I am outgoing and bubbly. I consider myself very hands on when it comes to child care and have many, many games up my sleeve. I am well versed in playing outside, arts and crafts, homework help, age appropriate learning and games and pick up and drop off.

I have been working for 10 years now and I have 3 children of my own so I am very experienced. I make their lunch, breakfast, and dinner if needed. I do provide transportation to and from school or their bus stop. I have a permit. I have First Aid and CPR Training. I am able to use the government food program which provides food for your kids. I am positive & reliable. I have many hours of child care training. I can teach them manners, to clean, and to read and count. I am open to attending appointments concerning the child or children with you. I am very trustworthy and you will be happy with the results in your child or children.

I am very interested in taking care of your loved ones. I have over 14 years of child care employment experience with a stable verifiable employment history. I possess good judgment, critical thinking and time management skills and I am extremely responsible and mature. I have strong communication skills. I am trustworthy and able to maintain confidentiality. I have an excellent driving record and have reliable transportation. I have knowledge and experience in planning a trip, safe travel, and the ability to work in a variety of environments.

I have been working with and teaching a wide age range of children for the last 15 years. I enjoy interacting with the children, and encouraging creativity. Additionally, I try to encourage social development with the younger kids by teaching the children how to share and use their manners. I'd love to help with one time date night child care or recurring care needs. In my free time I enjoy swimming, hiking (when the weather is nice), cooking, baking, and sewing (I recently started teaching myself). Certifications: CPR certified through American Red Cross.

Our History
Established at Virginia Theological Seminary in 1986, The Butterfly House Preschool (TBH) is a licensed childcare facility in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Our Program
At The Butterfly House (ages 2 to 5 years) and The Caterpillar Club (ages 6 weeks to 24 months), children interact daily, not only with children their own age, but with older and younger children. A diverse, mixed-age grouping gives every child an opportunity to successfully interact and allows for a gradual transition from one age group to another, thus minimizing anxiety by maintaining caregiver consistency.

Each week, we expose children to language, math, media, geography, science, and social studies, as well as opportunities to participate in drama, music, art, and physical education activities.

We operate our program both indoors and outdoors, as outdoor play is essential to healthy physical and mental development. Children spend minimum one hour outdoors every day except for in inclement weather.

Mission
The Butterfly House and Caterpillar Club (children under the age of 2) provide a healthy, safe, positive, and nurturing environment for all children. We optimize opportunities for each individual child's growth in these developmental areas:

- Social-Emotional
- Cognitive
- Linguistic
- Physical
- Creative

We encourage diversity in all aspects of our program, invite family participation, and foster positive community relationships.

Our Philosophy
We integrate emergent, child-centered, and play-based curricula, the theories of Loris Malaguzzi, Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Howard Gardner, and Arnold Gesell into a holistic approach to early childhood education. Based on these principles, we offer children a path to self-expression, communication, logical thinking, and problem-solving.

Our Teachers
We employ and train educators who understand children's developmental stages and are committed to providing experiences that encourage optimal learning. Our continuing education allows all staff to meet state licensing requirements, as well as better assisting you and your child's daily needs.
