A little bit about me

My name is Takunda Rusike, and as the oldest of three siblings, caring for others has always been a natural part of my life. With years of experience as a nanny—both through agencies and freelance work in the DMV area—I bring a blend of responsibility, creativity, and fun to childcare. I recently graduated from Howard University with a BS in Healthcare Management, where I was also a student-athlete and team captain, honing my leadership and teamwork skills. Currently working in consulting, I’m looking for part-time or date night nanny opportunities to continue doing what I love: supporting families and creating a safe, engaging environment for kids to thrive!
