.**I am fully booked for the summer! I will have new availability starting in August but I won't know what days for a couple of weeks yet.** Hi, my name is Ava! I have been providing childcare since I was a teenager and am currently a part-time nanny to 3 kids 3 and under! I have taken several classes on topics related to child development because I am a health sciences student. I also have 4+ years of consistent waitressing experience, meaning my problem solving skills, adaptability, and patience have been well-practiced. Outside of work, I am a full-time graduate student studying speech-language pathology. I love to read, bake, paint, and play the piano. Usually, I am doing these activities alongside my mischievous tuxedo cat. I hope that my skills can be of service to you and your family!

Ava is a great nanny, and sparks of her greatness shine through even within initial messages with her. She responded to our initial request for help with intentionality and direct responses to prompts in our post as opposed to a blanket copy and paste message. That intentionality has shown up in her care for our family as she has been proactive in finding ways to keep little ones engaged, and eagerly awaiting her return when she leaves for the day. It has been a pleasure working with her, and any family lucky enough to match with her would not regret it!
