I'm a patient and friendly childcare provider who loves creating a warm, engaging environment where children feel comfortable and safe. I believe the best childcare comes from building trust, encouraging curiosity, and meeting each child where they are. I respect each family's routines, household rules, and communication preferences. Browse my photos to see more of my personality and approach! Over the years, I've supported families in a variety of roles (regular childcare provider, nanny, mother's helper, and homework helper). These experiences have taught me that no two families are the same, which is why I pride myself on being adaptable, attentive, and reliable. I am certified in First Aid and CPR and have completed college coursework in Nursing and Community Health, providing me with a strong foundation in child health, safety, and development. Please note that my availability may differ from what's listed on my profile. I'd love to connect and learn more about your family!
Ava worked with our family throughout the last year, and she has been an absolute blessing. She seamlessly handled a busy schedule, driving our kids to their various after-school activities, preparing their snacks, and patiently helping them with their homework. In addition to after-school care, Ava also covered many of our date nights. She managed bedtime routines flawlessly and with zero issues, giving us complete peace of mind whenever we were out. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly engaging. The true testament to her care is how much our children adore her. Whenever we tell them we are getting a sitter, they immediately ask if Ava can come. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver!
