Our mission

I’m a Christian wife and mother, raising our children just outside of Austin, Texas. Working with children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. That passion first took shape in 2006 when I became a church group leader for kids ages 4 to 10. I quickly realized this was more than a job—it was a calling.

To deepen my knowledge and skills, I earned both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Education, with a strong emphasis on child psychology. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of roles, including daycare settings, nanny positions, and teaching in elementary and high schools. I began my first formal teaching position in 2012 and have been dedicated to education ever since.

Along the way, I’ve completed training in child development, child safety, recognizing and preventing abuse, supporting children with special needs, and exploring educational methods like Waldorf and Montessori.

First Choice Nannies was born from a dream I’ve carried in my heart for many years. I truly believe God has called me to serve families in this way—to help them find exceptional, trustworthy care for their children. It’s an honor to walk alongside parents in this journey, offering peace of mind and support they can rely on.

With  a lifelong passion for working with children, I bring both professional  insight and personal experience to my role at the agency. As a mother  of five, I have spent years nurturing, teaching, and guiding children  through all stages of development. I currently homeschool my children,  which has deepened my love for education and individualized learning. In addition, I volunteer at our local homeschool co-op, where I teach a  Pre-K class and enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment for young  learners. I am fluent in Spanish, allowing me to connect with a diverse  range of families and children. I truly enjoy building relationships with families and helping them find  the right support for their unique needs. My love for children,  education, and even the joy of summer days spent learning and exploring  together, is at the heart of everything I do.

Hi, I’m Aja! I have a genuine love for children and have spent my entire career working with them in various capacities. I've spent so much time with kids, that I sometimes forget how to adult. 

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, shopping, traveling, spending quality time with loved ones,  and exploring new foods.  I also appreciate the moments of relaxation.

I can’t wait to add my enthusiasm and creativity to the team!
