A little bit about me

As an experienced child carer and devoted mother to a now-teen premature baby, I bring deep compassion and understanding to every child I care for. With added experience in hospitality, I'm well-versed in allergies especially food-related. With still my added experience as a caregiver (licensed HHA and CNA), I'm more informed and sensitive about the child's health, prevention and safety procedures. My CPR and First Aid certification ensures every child's safety is a top priority.

I am an artist, teacher, nanny and traveler full of many experiences. I enjoy taking little ones to spend time in nature, museums, field trips and exploring all of the wonderful things DC has to offer. I specialize in art, developing and building skills in activities such as cooking, reading, writing, learning Spanish, etc! I assist with school work, creating last minute school projects and driving children to afterschool activities or appointments. I work with families to create routines and household responsibilities to help little ones grow into independent and confident beings.

"Sherita has been caring for our little one for over two years, since we transitioned to a nanny share arrangement during the covid. She became a friend to us and, most importantly, to our son. Very experienced, knowledgeable, and supportive, which was a blessing for the first time parents. She is absolutely wonderful with establishing routines, keeping kids active, taking them for outings, and making sure they are happy. Sherita is extremely patient and calm, which is critical to navigate multiple transitions from infant to toddler. I can go on and on what a tremendous caregiver she is. Any family would be lucky to work with her!"

I’m a fun-loving, energetic nanny with a genuine passion for caring for children. With years of hands-on experience, I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where kids can thrive.

I believe in treating every child with love, patience, and respect—just as I would my own. If you’re looking for a dependable, enthusiastic nanny who will support your family with heart and dedication, I’d love to connect!
