About Ava
Experience: 4 yrs
Hi! My name is Ava, and I'm a 21-year-old psychology student. I've been babysitting and providing childcare for the past four years and am Red Cross certified, so your child's safety is always a priority. I've cared for children of all ages and enjoy keeping them engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, or whatever they enjoy most. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals with a wide range of support needs, including autism and schizophrenia. My background in psychology has helped me better understand how to adapt my approach to each person's individual needs and communication style. I'm happy to help with homework, prepare meals and snacks, drive kids to and from activities, help with bedtime routines, do light housekeeping, and care for pets if needed. I'm reliable, patient, and easy to get along with, and I always do my best to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for the kids I care for.
Most recent review
Ava was absolutely amazing with our three-year-old daughter while my husband and I were away on a trip. From the start, she was incredibly caring, attentive, and engaging. They spent the weekend doing lots of arts and crafts, playing dolls, and even having fun with Just Dance, which my daughter loved. Ava always dressed her so cute and made sure she felt happy and comfortable the entire time. What really stood out was how communicative Ava was she regularly sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our daughter was constantly asking to see Ava again and was genuinely so happy with her experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver and would absolutely rehire her without hesitation.
