Hello! My name is Ioana, and I’m based in Washington, DC. I hold a Ph.D. and Master’s degrees, and I have 8 years of experience in providing exceptional childcare services. Throughout my years of experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from toddlers to older kids, in a variety of settings. I pride myself on creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, secure, and excited to learn. I believe in fostering positive, respectful relationships with children, focusing on their unique needs, personalities, and developmental stages. I enjoy designing creative, age-appropriate activities that stimulate children’s imagination, encourage exploration, and enhance their cognitive and motor skills. Whether it’s crafting, playing games, or exploring the outdoors, I aim to create moments that are both fun and educational. My goal is always to help children develop confidence and independence in a supportive and caring environment. In addition to engaging activities, I also ensure that children’s routines, such as meal times and naps, are followed consistently to create a sense of stability. I am experienced in providing sick care when needed, ensuring children feel comfortable and well taken care of during illness. I take great pride in being a reliable, punctual, and trustworthy caregiver. My approach is always to communicate openly with parents, keeping them updated on their child’s day and any important observations. I strive to provide the best care possible, and I look forward to contributing to your child’s well-being and growth.
