A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Ava Howgate
I'm 19 years old and currently home until January before starting at the University of Rhode Island. I absolutely love working with kids and have had many babysitting jobs over the past few years. I also gained experience as a helper teacher at the Newburyport Montessori School, which really deepened my love for early childhood care and learning.
I'm available to work from now until January and have open availability Tuesdays through Fridays, as well as some Mondays and weekends. I'm reliable, caring, and always bring positive energy to the families I work with. I'd love the opportunity to support your family!

Building with blocks or stacking toys
Going on stroller walks or exploring outside safely
Doing simple crafts with lots of colors and textures

Making them laugh and feel safe, loved, and happy
Creating calm routines like storytime or quiet music before naps

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and happy environment where children feel comfortable to be themselves. It’s about building trust — not just with the kids, but with the parents too — and being someone they can count on. I think it’s also about tuning into what each child needs, whether that’s a hug, a giggle, or a calm routine, and doing the little things every day that make them feel seen, cared for, and genuinely happy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was simply spending a rainy afternoon building a blanket fort with a toddler I was caring for. We filled it with books, stuffed animals, and snacks, and they were so excited to have their own little space. It was such a simple thing, but seeing how happy and cozy they were reminded me that it’s the little moments—just doing things that make them smile—that matter most.
