Nurturing children and providing reliable support to busy families is my true passion. With 10 years of professional experience, I bring a friendly and approachable energy to every home. My background includes a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I hold current CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. I am a Certified Teacher comfortable caring for up to three children across all age groups. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I enjoy providing active swimming supervision. I am also happy to assist with carpooling, travel, and creative crafts. I prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates via your preferred method. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and love facilitating learning through educational games and technology-based apps. I also have experience working with special needs children. I look forward to the opportunity to bring warmth and stability to your family's daily routine.

Ana helped watch my 14-month-old son. She was incredibly gentle and attentive with him. She made sure he felt very comfortable around her from the very first moment she walked through the door. I plan to hire her again.

We had the pleasure of having Ana care for our 1.5-year-old son for three days while our daycare was closed, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment she arrived, our son warmed up to her immediately. While I was working in my home office, I could hear him giggling and playing throughout the day, which was such a joy.

Ana's bilingual skills were a huge plus, as she was able to speak both English and Spanish with him, just like at his regular daycare. She was incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and ready to jump right in and play with our son. Even though I was just in another room, Ana kept me updated throughout the day with pictures, which was very reassuring.

I highly recommend Ana to anyone in need of a caring, reliable, and engaging sitter. She truly made the three days stress-free for both me and my son.

Hired Ana on short notice a week before we needed some help while kids were on spring break.  She was great and handled our 3 kids really well! We were super thankful for her help

Ana Jessika was great with our 4 year old son across a week that really helped us when we were in a childcare pinch. He was comfortable with her right away and we were so grateful to her for plugging into our family and being such a warm and caring presence for our child!

It was a tremendous blessing having Jessika do the morning commute from our home in Annandale to our school in Vienna. She is a reliable driver. In addition she has a lovely personality and carries a perennial smile that lit up our mornings. Our six and 9-year-old daughters are very fond of her.
We look forward to working  with her again if and when circumstances change. 

Ana is a very engaged and warm care giver. She provided caring support to our pre-schooler as a one-on-one aide in a pre-school setting. 

Ana was great in helping us out with after school childcare and driving to activities for a month when we were without care.  Communication was excellent and would hire again!

Ana helped with our 2 preschool age kids over the summer. The kids LOVED her! Very good about staying in touch during the day and sending updates :)

Jessika drove our daughter to and from school during the 2021-2022 school year.  Jessika had a great rapport with our daughter who has some special needs.  She was also prompt and great with communication. Highly recommend!

Ana seemed nice and friendly. She watched my son for about 4 hours. I didn't require anything of her except to watch and interact with my child. At the end of the day, I ask her if I should pay her on Care.com or another way. She lists the apps she can receive compensation through and also says I can use the site if I choose. I send her the full amount for the day then hours later receive a receipt for the day from Care.com I paid her twice! I contact her to get a refund for the payment, she denies getting paid by care.com Customer support on care.com confirms she's been paid. And I have been scammed. I have yet to receive a response to my last text and no refund, which take 2 seconds to do.

She was very playful and my son took to her right away.

Ana was such a delight and our daughter fell in love with her right away. Can't wait to have her back!

Ana was great with our 1.5 year old. She arrived on time and was super warm and caring. Immediately put our mind at ease. Our kid usually takes a bit to warm up to people but Ana was perfect and he immediately started playing with her. She provided a ton of picture updates which made being away easier and followed our normal routine to make it easy on our son. Ana was outstanding and we will absolutely hire her again!

Ana is amazing. She was able to help my family and care for my twins  on short notice. She has a warm & calm approach. I felt comfortable leaving my kids with her. My twins took to her very quick and seem to enjoyed to time spent with her. I definitely recommend her.

Ana (also goes by Jessika) was a true blessing for our family during Covid-19! She started with our family in January 2021, helping to care for our 2 children ages 6 and 3. For our 6-yr old, she helped with remainder of virtual kindergarten, ensuring he attended sessions on time, was paying attention and completed assignments. She was very engaging with our 3-yr old, finding activities, helping with potty training, nap time, and lunches. She introduced the kids to lots of new playgrounds in the area and is very outgoing, helping them to get much needed socialization with other children, but in a safe environment during the pandemic. She juggled drop-off and pick-up for varying camp schedules during the summer, and also spent much time at and in the pool, getting our apprehensive 3-yr old to play in the water. Our children really grew to love her! We will miss our time with Ms. Jessika as our children return to school in the fall.

Ana is a great nanny.  She is very kind, caring, and patient, and my 1 year old son had great time with her.  She is also very professional - always on time, prompt, honest, and kept the room neat.  Thank you so much for your help, Ana.  I would highly recommend her.

Ana (Jessika) is just about the sweetest person you could have care for your kids. She is kind, loving, caring, trustworthy, and my 3 children (ages 5 years, 3 years and 3 months) absolutely loved her! She is also extremely flexible and understanding with any changes you need to make to her work schedule or situation. I found her to be very proactive in thinking of fun activities for my kids to do and places to take them. She also is very friendly and outgoing and had no problem meeting other nannies and moms in our neighborhood and community and setting up play dates with them. She is genuine and would do just about anything for your kids and to help you out. I highly recommend her for your childcare needs!

Ana cared for our one-year old immediately upon our moving to the area, until he started daycare. It was scary hiring a nanny from across the country "sight unseen" and we required someone who could handle caring for an infant in an empty house, during the chaos of movers arriving, and all the unpacking mess. Ana was so reassuring and calm about the whole situation, kept our child safe, healthy, and happy, and was responsible and dependable. Our child's language and motor skills developed nicely under her care. Ana also enjoyed taking our child on outings and finding creative indoor activities when the summer weather was too brutal for outside play.
