About Ava
Experience: 4 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I'm Ava, My love and passion for working with children come from a long-standing family tradition of nurturing and caring for little ones. Growing up in a family where love and support were always in abundance, I've learned the importance of creating a warm and welcoming environment for kids to thrive. My personality is both approachable and understanding, which allows me to connect with children on their level and provide a sense of security and comfort. I believe that communication is key, and I make it a priority to keep open and honest lines with both kids and parents to ensure a smooth and positive experience. I'm also a firm believer in the power of play. Engaging children in playful activities is not just fun; it's crucial for their brain development. Whether we're exploring creative projects, playing interactive games, or simply having imaginative adventures, I ensure that every moment is both enjoyable and enriching.

We are writing to enthusiastically recommend Ava as a babysitter. Over the time she has spent with our family, Ava has consistently demonstrated her exceptional caregiving skills with our 5-year-old son, L. Ava has a natural talent for connecting with children, and her interactions with L. have always been engaging, fun, and educational. She goes above and beyond to create a warm and nurturing environment, whether she’s organizing creative activities, helping with homework, or simply playing games that capture L.’s imagination. Her ability to balance fun with learning has been incredibly valuable in supporting L.'s growth. Ava’s reliability and punctuality have been a tremendous help to us, whether she’s stepping in for a date night or assisting during our Sunday football games. L. always looks forward to her visits, and it’s clear that her presence has had a positive impact on his well-being. Her enthusiasm and genuine care for L. make her an irreplaceable part of our support system.
