A little bit about me
Hello, I’m Sindy!
I’ve worked with kids almost my whole life growing up with my mom as a nanny at our house! I’ve also been in school programs for kids where I’ve got to learn hands on with a wide range of ages and kids. I’ve had summer jobs with amazing families who’ve given me the opportunity to just keep on growing. I’m currently in school pursing elementary school education in hopes of becoming a teacher!

A little bit about me
My name is Crystal, and while this is an amazing website, I feel that maybe the basic job history section it doesn't capture the full picture of who I am. I am a full time middle school art teacher during the school year, and during the summer I supplement my income by nannying for families full time. I have worked with three different families over the last fifteen years and return to them each summer until their children are old enough to no longer need me. This year, I am looking for a new summer family and hoping I can help you by supporting yours!
I'm creative, love kids, organized and am a hard worker. I'm not afraid of long hours. I value education, but also recognize the need for structured play and free time. When I nanny I handle everything during the summer, play dates, laundry, meals, swim team and calendars. I love nannying because it still lets me work with kids during the summer but allows me a much needed break from the classroom.
Looking forward to meeting you!

A little bit about me
My name is Courtney and I'm 31 years old. Im from Cape Town, South Africa. I was an au pair for 2. 5 years since 2019. In 2021 I started nannying for the most gracious, loving family. 2 boys. Started with the first one when he was 3months old and his brother since he was 1-month-old. Its been 5 years now and my contract is ending since both boys are going to be in school. Kids naturally feed off my energy and positive personality. I am a passionate and easy-going person that can adapt quickly to change and I usually get along well with others.
Working as an au pair, my job required making breakfast, lunch and dinner. Drove them to their activities, school, doctor appointments(DC area) so I do have a lot of experience and comfortable in driving them wherever they need to be.
My current job, the family didnt need me to drive. Everywhere the boys needed to be was walking distance.
My passion has always been to work with children and being in their world.
Hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Judy.
I've been a caregiver for over 10 years. I am CPR certified and have completed child development courses in college. I also worked as a teacher's assistant in a Montessori school for about 2 years, where I supported children's learning in a nurturing environment. I have 10 years of experience working with special needs children.
I truly love working with children and always strive to bring out the best in them. Depending on their age and interests, I regularly introduce new toys, activities, or books to keep them engaged and stimulated. I also enjoy outdoor time with kids-visiting playgrounds, attending playdates, music classes, and trips to the library, museums, weather permitting.
I have good work ethics, and I'm flexible and collaborative, always willing to work with families to ensure that each child's needs are fully supported.
I'm also happy to assist with light housekeeping, laundry, etc
References and background check are available upon request.
