A little bit about me…
With two years of experience caring for children of all ages—from toddlers to teenagers—I am dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your family! Over the past two summers, I worked as a camp counselor for children ages 5-14 and interned at a daycare, caring for children ages 2-4. Currently, I babysit a 14-month-old, giving me hands-on experience with infants as well.
I am first aid certified, responsible, and enthusiastic. As a softball player and ceramicist, I love incorporating both active play and creative activities into my babysitting. Additionally, I’m comfortable with pets, cooking, household chores, and would love to help out with any homework or projects. With my own car and driver’s license, I can also provide safe and reliable transportation as needed.

A little bit about me…
I am Sonam from Bhutan. I worked as a teacher at Kengkhar Middle Secondary School from 2019 to 2024, where I taught pre-primary students for five years. This experience allowed me to develop a deep connection with children, fostering their growth and learning during those formative years. I can easily connect with children due to my friendly nature and small physique. Most importantly, I am fond of children.
After coming to the USA, I have been looking after a sweet little boy as a part time job from Monday to Wednesday. We have developed a very good bond, like a family within four months. His parents treat me just like a part of their family.
Currently I am also employed in Little Kids Academy (Arlington) as a preschool teacher. I attend trainings and online courses for EEC professionals development side by side. I’m looking for a nanny position.
