ChildcareExpress Team Members

  • Chiara Waage

    I am a kind, dependable and open-hearted person. I was born in Munich, Germany and lived there most of my life. I studied Photo Design at University of Applied Sciences in Munich, specializing in photography and videography. I find great joy in connecting with people through my work.

    During high school I began babysitting for neighbors and friends of the family. Over time, it became more frequent and my side job of choice. I have been able to gather many different experiences in child care over the past 9 years, with children ranging from newborns to teenagers. I have gotten great value from working with every family I was honored to meet.

    I am very family oriented and have visited my relatives in Maryland numerous times throughout my life, often staying for months at a time. I am fluent in English, German and have basic knowledge of Italian.

    With over several years of experience, I have had the privilege of raising two daughters and three grandchildren. Throughout this journey, I have gained invaluable insights and developed a deep understanding of child care. From nurturing and guiding them through various stages of life to providing a safe and loving environment, my role as a caregiver has been both rewarding and fulfilling. I have honed my patience, empathy, and adaptability, allowing me to be attentive to their individual needs and provide them with the support they require. My experience with child care has instilled in me a profound appreciation for the unique qualities and potential of each child, and I am committed to fostering their growth and well-being.
