A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Elsa, and I have over 25 years of professional nanny experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school. Caring for children isn't just my job-it's my passion. I'm proud of the lasting relationships I've built with families, including 13 years with one family and the past 8. 5 years with my most recent family. I'm available to start immediately, as the children I was caring for have started school full time. I'm looking for my next long-term family where I can provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment for children to learn, play, and thrive. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, crafts, parks, libraries, and more. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and excellent references. My goal is for every child to feel safe, happy, and loved, while giving parents complete peace of mind.

"We were incredibly fortunate to have Elsa as our nanny from 2018 to 2026. She began caring for our first child at only four months old, and when our second child was born, she lovingly cared for both of them. She is caring, loving, honest, dependable, patient, and very flexible. I always felt completely comfortable leaving my children with her and never had to worry when they were in her care. She treated them like family and played an important role in their early years. She read with them and helped teach letters, numbers, colors, words, and many other little things along the way. She was always attentive to their needs and made sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. Even today, she still helps our family whenever we need her. After so many years, we trust her completely and are truly grateful for everything she has done for our family. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a loving, trustworthy, and dependable nanny."

"We cannot say enough positive things about our former nanny, Elsa. She was with us for 11 years, essentially starting at birth for both of our children. We only let her go because I started working from home. She is one of the warmest and most caring people we have ever had in our lives. Our children are now 18 and 20 and we still make sure to get together with her as she is part of our forever family. Please feel free to contact me and I would be more than happy to share more details about how amazing Elsa is."

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Franconia, VA: Zara A.

Hi! I’m Zara. As the oldest of four siblings, taking care of kids has always come naturally to me. I have experience with children of all ages and I’m comfortable helping with meals, homework, bedtime routines, cleaning up, and keeping kids entertained. I’m the type of babysitter who likes to actually be involved. I enjoy playing games, doing crafts, spending time outside, and coming up with fun activities to keep kids happy and engaged. I’m patient, dependable, and always do my best to make kids feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. One of my favorite parts of babysitting is building a real connection with the kids. I want them to enjoy spending time with me, look forward to seeing me, and have so much fun that being away from their parents feels a little easier. My goal is to create a safe, positive environment where kids can have fun while giving parents peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help you out! 🤍
