"Clarissa was a huge lifesaver to me! After I had my daughter in June of 2018 Clarissa has been a huge help by going above and beyond to be there for me and my baby. She’s trustworthy and prompt which was super helpful for me as I had to start working and was still very uneasy about leaving my 8 week old daughter with someone but Clarissa made me feel reassured about my decision and the way my daughters face continually lit up after as they grew closer sealed the deal that I had made the right choice and I’m so lucky to have met her.

"Clarissa is a very hardworking and talented individual. While working with her I saw first hand how nurturing and attentive she was with both the infants and toddlers. All the children responded well to Clarissa. I firmly believe that Clarissa will excel in this position."

"Clarissa has watched my son and daughter for the past few years, and she has always done a terrific job with them. She’s always gone above and beyond to communicate with my wife and I when we’re out, and the kids absolutely adore her. She’s well organized, punctual and is a delight to be around. Clarissa is always inventing new and creative activities for the kids to participate in, they’re rooms are decorated with the various art projects they’ve done together. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone that needs an extra pair of hands around the house whether that be for babysitting nannying or anything of the sort."

Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love the outdoors, love a good park or in the summer going to school fields for games. I’ve tried museums recently with some of my reading age children as DC has so much to offer on summer days. My go to is going to the library to catch read alongs or trivia day. I have gotten into Pokémon go for some of my older kids to get them off traditional games/iPads and outside! I’ve introduced geo hunting (app interactive scavenger hunt)to my kids as well. My favorite thing Art projects, whether sensory and tactile art projects that increase fine motor skills or are just wacky, wet water colors for older antsy kids, as I studied elementary art in college.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Creating an overall peaceful environment. Peaceful in communication, maintaining environmental and emotional consistency for the child while promoting stages of development.
My experience with special needs children...
My experience is limited honesty. I have completed coursework in psychology and early childhood development and my exposure is limited to substituting in special needs classrooms in pre-K and kindergarten as well as other elementary grades only for Arlington and Alexandria Public schools
The most important part about being a nanny...
Is when my kids make me something they worked hard to impress me with or when they want to show you they’ve learned something you taught them ❤️❤️

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Arlington, VA: Ana M.
Hello, My name is Ana, I live in Arlington, VA. I worked as an English teacher for 5 years in Brazil while I was studying Pedagogy (Education), Also in this meantime I volunteered myself to take care of babies and kids between 3-4 years old. I am able to take care of all ages. I was an au pair for two adorable twins for 2 years in New Jersey, it was an amazing experience. Being surrounded by children it's something very good, even sometimes not being easy, children are sweet and intelligent, they have a way of them to win your heart. I want to go far beyond caring, I want to be able to explore and develop the child with creative activities, music, dance, and no matter the age I'm always ready for a new challenge. Some qualities that I value the most and I put in practice in my work and personal life are kindness, maturity, reliability, organization, being easygoing... Please feel free to give me a message if you are interested.
