A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ashley Steiner and I absolutely love working with children! I am a Registered Behavior Technician who typically works with kids of all ages who are diagnosed with ASD. I have had plenty of experience throughout high school as a middle-school aged girl soccer coach and a tutor for an elementary-aged girl. I have also had first-hand experience babysitting my newborn nephew. I currently go the University of Florida and I am majoring in Behavioral Analysis with a minor in Disabilities in Society. I work with children every day and am constantly learning new ways to build connections. I am CPR and First Aid certified and I have my RBT Certification. I am on track to have my BCaBA certification by next year when I graduate. I have been working with children since I was a child myself (around 13 years old) and cannot wait to get more experience!

A little bit about me

I have much experience watching kids from 3 months old up to 12 years! I love creating a fun environment with kids, creating activities or games. I also am more than open to doing some tidying up, housekeeping, or meal prep. I am licensed and have my own car so am able to pick up or drop off kids whenever needed :)

A little bit about me

I am 20yrs old, the oldest of 3 sisters, a rising junior at the University of Florida, willing to work with kids of all ages and abilities! I am currently employed at Starbucks, so I have no issue waking up early if that is what you need, but I am looking to dedicate more time nannying than to Starbucks. I am also currently the Risk Manager of my sorority (ZTA) so I am able to bring enhanced professionalism and safety to my jobs. I have my own car and have been driving for 3 years, so I am very comfortable picking up + dropping off your little ones. I also previously worked as a lifeguard and in the restaurant industry so I am First Aid/CPR proficient as well as well versed with cooking/meal prep. Resume and references available upon request.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Sophia Zavala. I have experience working as both a Kindergarten Teacher and an Infant/Toddler Teacher. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge, as well as an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting children’s growth and development—nurturing their confidence, fostering independence, and building meaningful, lasting connections. While I’ve enjoyed my time in the classroom, some of my most cherished memories come from caring for children in a home setting. I truly loved creating routines and little traditions with each family I worked with—those personal touches made every experience special.
