A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Ava Barrera; I am 22 years old! I recently graduated from UCF with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Development. I have been working in childcare since I was an early teenager, I have experience caring for children of all ages. In addition to babysitting I was also a tutor for ages 5-18. I love making crafts and playing games. I received my CPR and First Aid certifications from the Red Cross. Throughout my time in college I developed an approach to childcare that centers around fostering curiosity and building relationships. I am open to full time, part time, or occasional help. If I seem like a good fit for your family I would love to hear from you!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have been a baby sitter in my community since I was 14. I have babysat for numerous families at different age groups. Once I moved to Orlando I became a tutor specializing in Early Literacy and SAT preparation. I was also an assistant teacher during my last years of college.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

My main goal is to engage the child in their interests so I will participate in any activity they are interested in. I tend to gravitate towards music and art based activities. I also love to bake/cook with older kiddos with parental approval.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part is connecting with every child. Each kiddo is unique and special. Building a safe, nurturing, and caring bond with the family is essential. Clear communication with parents is also necessary in ensuring the kids safety and enjoyment.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked with many special needs children during my time in Orange County schools. I mostly assisted students with Autism and ADHD but I also worked with students who had OCD and ODD. My degree in Childhood Development provided me with a specialized skill set for numerous disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment is the first time you are able to connect with the child you are with. This differs greatly based on different ages and personalities. I love to see babies who are excited to see you or older children wanting to show you something new they just learned. Every moment, especially the small ones, are special.
