Northwest Washington, Washington$25/hr | 2 yrs experience

Hi! I am 25, live in DC and love kids. Some of my hobbies are dancing, playing music, learning languages, cooking, sports, and reading. I have a degree in Food Science but have been passionate about caring for kids for most of my life! My most recent experience is with elementary school kids and infants. I also have lots of experience with twins and kids with developmental disabilities. I love learning and am constantly trying to better myself in terms of how I support children's emotional, intellectual, and social growth. I am looking for a long term position with a great family, and I look forward to meeting you!

Northwest Washington, Washington$20/hr | 4 yrs experience

My name is Katrina and I have 6 years of professional childcare experience. I graduated from NAU in 2018 with a bachelor's in public health. I am currently getting my master's in public health from The George Washington Universit and live in D.C. I have experience with newborns up to 14-year-old. I am CPR certified and first aid certified as well as a fingerprint clearance card (Arizona card) to work with children. I have worked as a lead teacher at Abundant Life Preschool and an assistant teacher at Child-time in Flagstaff, Arizona so I have experience in a classroom having to look after multiple children at once. I have also been a full-time and part-time nanny. I have experience driving children, doing pick-ups/drop-offs, homework help, meal prep, laundry, cleaning, overnights, and doing lots of fun activities with kids! I studied abroad in Tanzania during the summer of 2018 and worked in health clinics and orphanages so I have experience with a wide variety of cultures and needs.

Becoming a nanny is a joy for me. I thrive as a caregiver for our young people....Respecting there rights of passage from Infant to young adult's which is a great passion of mines. Its not just a job I fulfill, but touching lives by offerring Positive & Energectic encouragements. Becoming a Friend first from a stranger. Building a bond with children using my attentiveness when facing sensitivities.
