A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Alicia! I am a very optimistic person, but equally logical. I am so excited to become apart of your family, big or small. I come from a very big family of ten whom all are very creative, smart, but also very different. Coming from a big family taught me how to push through tough situations, how to deal with differences, and so many more things that I would love to teach you all. Some things I would love to share with your family that my family honors is honesty, love, trust, and fun. Also, I come from a very diverse family and we do not judge when it comes to size, shape, or gender.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Ioana, and I live in Washington, DC. I am a Ph.D. postdoc student and am currently continuing my academic studies. Alongside my academic career, I have over 8 years of childcare experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to elementary school age.
I currently work with a 4-year-old child and have previously provided care for children ages 3, 5, and older elementary-aged children. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups, meal and snack preparation, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, educational activities, bedtime routines, and creating structured, engaging daily schedules.
I believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that promote creativity, curiosity, language development, and confidence. Whether we're reading books, exploring nature, working on crafts, building with blocks, or practicing early literacy and math skills, I strive to make learning fun and meaningful.
