A little bit about me
Hello my name is Clarise Gray and I am 35 years of age. I have been in the Early Childhood Education field for over 17 years and I have been nannying for over 7 years. I have worked with children of all ages from 6 weeks to 14 years of age. I also have 3 children of my own 1 girl (17 years old) and 2 boys (14 years old and 8 years old). I am very passionate in what I do and love being able to witness children grow and reach the many different milestones in their lives. I have my CDA in Infant and Toddlers and I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I have no preference in the ages of children I care for because I have worked with them all and love each experience that I have experienced while working with the many different ages and personalities.

Hello! I am a graduate student at Georgetown University. I did my undergrad at Claremont McKenna College earning a BA in Psychology and Government.
My most recent job has been as a curriculum design specialist for children and teens. Part of my responsibility was to make sure the activities were developmentally appropriate for children and sparked curiosity for STEM careers. I also ensured our students walked a path toward college readiness.
I was a nanny/babysitter from 2017 to 2020 caring for children ages 3 to 9 years old. However, I was a tutor in various subjects including math, English, Spanish, science, and social science for children aged 6 to 15 years old.
I have also been a swimming teacher for children aged 2 to 12 years of age, and a Summer Camps teacher for children aged 3 to 6 years old.
Furthermore, I have obtained my First Aid, CPR, and AED certifications and have worked with children with ADHD and on the autism spectrum.
I look forward to working with you!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Kylie. I work full-time on Capitol Hill and will be starting evening law school next year, but caring for kids has always been such a special part of my life. I’m looking to nanny because I truly love being around children and supporting families in meaningful ways.
I used to play Division 1 field hockey at UNC Chapel Hill and later coached club field hockey while in college - that’s when I really fell in love with helping kids grow into the best version of themselves. Whether it’s playing outside, helping with homework, or just being a calm and encouraging presence, I bring a lot of patience, kindness, and joy to everything I do.
I’m dependable, organized, and always happy to step in with a positive attitude. I’d be so grateful for the chance to get to know your family and be part of your child’s everyday life.

I love being a nanny, nutuirng and adding joy and informative fun into my babies lives as best as I can. I am a kid at heart, and love playing, reading, singing, and enjoying time outside just as much as the children that I have cared for. I would love to talk more about my background with you if you are interested. Thanks!
