"I am so happy to recommend Blake! She volunteered with us at The Butterfly House throughout her senior year at Episcopal High School, coming in after school every day to help for about three hours.
From the very beginning, Blake was absolutely wonderful with the kids. Whether it was helping with story time, playing outside, or just giving the little ones extra attention and care, she brought so much positive energy to the classroom. The kids lit up when she walked in, and our staff was always so thankful to have her extra set of hands and warm heart.
She was reliable, upbeat, patient, and jumped right in wherever we needed her — from caring for babies just a few months old to helping preschoolers with crafts and activities. We feel very lucky to have had her as part of our Butterfly House family this year.
Any family would be lucky to have Blake helping with their children. She is a natural!
Sincerely,
Butterfly House"

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
While I’ve been a student at my boarding school, I’ve loved babysitting for many of my teachers’ children, with ages ranging from 2 to 13 years old. It was always so much fun planning games, crafts, and little adventures for them after school! This year, during my senior year, I also worked at The Butterfly House in Alexandria, Virginia — a warm and welcoming child care center that’s been part of the community for over 30 years. Every weekday afternoon, I helped care for little ones from just six weeks old up to six years old. Whether it was story time, snack time, or playground time, I loved bringing lots of energy, creativity, and kindness to my time with the kids!
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love doing outdoor activities like playing tag, going on nature walks, or organizing little scavenger hunts. I also enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading stories together, baking simple treats, and making up fun games. I like finding creative ways to keep kids active, engaged, and having fun while learning along the way!
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable to be themselves. It is about building trust, being patient, and making sure they feel supported and cared for every day. I think it is so special to be someone they can laugh with, learn from, and look up to!
