A little bit about me
I have professional experience working with children from infants to teens. Infancy and toddler years are my primary focus, but I am happy to continue working beyond that stage to stay with a growing child or a growing family!
Recently I have been working short-term nanny positions, and am looking for another family to work with starting in September 2025.
One "version" of me is a fox character, consorting with corvids and faeries! For several years, I attended events in-costume as the caregiver for a fellow performer's child, so that baby and parent could travel together while baby had dedicated attention and care.
I am looking for a long-term position near DC, or am open to traveling outside of the area for a short-term position.

Recent reference
"Sam filled in for us for a month while we were temporarily between caregivers, and did an amazing job caring for both babies in our nanny share (13 weeks and 19 weeks at the start of the share). They were warm, friendly, and extremely caring with our baby. They also took directions really well-- both babies have torticollis, and our son needs to be encouraged to look to the right as much as possible. Sam did tummy time, stretches, and did their best to make sure everyone's PT needs were met. I had just started going back to work after my maternity leave ended, and I appreciated how communicative Sam was about how my baby was doing every day."

A little bit about me
I am a family oriented teacher who relocated to Washington D.C. As the last daughter of a large family from Hawaii, I've always had the responsibility to look after my younger cousins, nieces and nephews. This was the beginning of my love for education and childcare. I have over five years of teaching experience and I truly love making education as fun and engaging as possible. Some of my hobbies are hiking, crafts, line dancing and reading. I have an open schedule and am open to additional responsibilities including light housework, meal prep or other household assistance.

A little bit about me
Hello! I'm Cee, I'm from South America, currently living in the US as a student. I worked with kids since I was 16 years old, first as a child tutor but then I become a babysitter. I love music, theater and arts in general so I love to do that when I'm with kids. My mom has been a kindergarten teacher for more than 35 years in different countries in South America so all the things I know about kids is thanks to her. I got experience with big kids but I'm open to work with toddlers as well.

My children loved her, she taught them educational lessons instead of just letting them play with toys all day. She also taught my children how to be self sufficient with certain task overall she is phenomenal and would be a great asset to anyone's home."
