A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha, I’m 19 years old, and I’m currently a student at Santa Rosa Junior College. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I have a strong passion for working with children.

I gained hands-on experience through a school internship at a daycare, where I cared for kids ages 3 to 5. I helped with fun activities, learning time, snacks, and making sure every child felt safe, happy, and supported throughout the day.

I’m responsible, friendly, and always bring a positive attitude. Whether it’s playtime, crafts, or simply keeping a routine, I love creating a fun and caring environment for kids.

I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, loving care for your little ones!

A little bit about me

My name is Maria. I work with kids to make a living. This vocation started when my brother was born. He is 10 years younger than me and I practically raised him because my parents worked all day so I took care of him when he was just a baby. I got my first job at Francisco Jose de Caldas school where I was a teacher in 1st to 5th grades. Then I applied as an Au Pair in 2021 taking care of a child of 4 months old and also I worked at camp with nonprofits for kids without money support in Michigan when I had the most beautiful experience with children between 7 to 17 years old where we had fun together in activities like fishing, kayaking, archery, tubing, and more. I love being a nanny because I have learnt a lot from interacting with them and teaching them how to develop strong mental, social and physical skills and abilities. I love having fun in outdoors activities. My hobbies include basketball, hiking, working out, reading, kayaking, camping.
