Experienced & Dependable Childcare Provider | 6+ Years Working With Children
Hi! I’m Ava, a caring and dependable childcare provider with 6+ years of experience working with children ages 3–15. I believe children deserve to be treated with patience, respect, and understanding. I prefer to keep screen time to a minimum and focus on creative activities, conversation, play, and meaningful engagement.
I believe in gentle but effective guidance—talking to children with respect and helping them understand why rather than simply telling them what to do. Kids have big feelings and are often much smarter and more aware than we give them credit for, so I always strive to make learning and boundaries feel positive, lighthearted, and fun.

I have over 6 years of experience working with children ages 3–15 through teaching dance, childcare, and nannying. I have worked with children of different ages and personalities and am comfortable creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids.
My experience includes caring for children, supervising activities, helping with routines, keeping children’s areas clean and organized, and assisting with age-appropriate activities. Through my years of working with children, I have developed strong communication, patience, responsibility, and organization skills.
I am also experienced with household cleaning and keeping spaces tidy while caring for children. I understand the importance of being respectful of families’ homes, routines, and individual preferences.
I am currently attending Orange Coast College and am pursuing a career in healthcare. My extensive experience working with children through dance has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, leadership, communication, and childcare.
I am dependable, caring, attentive, and comfortable taking responsibility for children and household tasks. My goal is to provide families with someone they can feel completely comfortable trusting with their children and their home.
