KEREN STEPHANY SOLANO VILLAMIL
San Francisco$26/hr  |  4 years experience
Hello! My name is Keren, and I’m an experienced caregiver currently completing my second year as an au pair in the U.S. I’ve worked closely with children ranging from infants to school-age, supporting their development with patience, care, and creativity.

I’m originally from Colombia, fluent in Spanish, and conversational in English. I love reading, arts and crafts, and spending time outdoors with the little ones I care for. I'm also familiar with preparing healthy meals, managing routines, and maintaining a safe and loving environment.

I’m currently based in California and will be available starting October or November 2025 for a full-time live-out nanny or family assistant position in San Francisco or nearby areas. My ideal position would be with a kind, communicative family who values respect, structure, and warmth.

I am a 53 year young empty nester and grandma! My kids are all grown and making families of their own! I however miss taking care of littles and found it’s where I need to be. So why not care for your children, helping YOU build your careers worry and stress free! I am in college virtually studying Religious counseling with my minor in early development.
On my free time I find myself working on projects that match my passion for family unity in our Community! Gardening, cleaning , drawing, Bible study or annoying my adult children by still treating them like 5 year olds :). I absolutely love Ocean Beach and live music shows .
