Dover, NJ

< 1 year experience

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ava Ziegler, and I’m a part-time student at County College of Morris currently looking for a nanny position. In addition to my studies, I teach figure skating to young children, which has given me valuable experience working with toddlers and kids of all ages. I’m very comfortable creating a fun, safe, and structured environment where children can learn and feel supported.

I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and proactive — whether I’m planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, managing daily routines, or handling everyday challenges with a calm and positive attitude. I understand the trust families place in their caregiver, and I work hard to build strong, respectful relationships rooted in communication and consistency.

I’m excited to bring my energy, responsibility, and genuine love for working with children to a family that values attentive and thoughtful childcare.
