A little bit about me

I am a responsible, patient, and loving childcare provider with over two years of experience as an au pair in the United States. As the eldest of seven siblings, I began caring for two of my younger brothers at the age of 14 while my mother worked full-time. My natural maturity and strong sense of responsibility allowed me to manage their daily needs with confidence. I also helped care for my baby cousin, whom I love like a niece, since she was an infant. These early experiences shaped my passion for childcare and taught me how to nurture, guide, and support children with love and structure. I specialize in creating safe, stimulating, and emotionally supportive environments where children can grow happily.

"Mariana and I met at a playground near our neighborhood and, since then Mariana has being such a great support when I need someone to help me with my little energetic one, Olivia. I have required Mariana’s services when me and my husband have date nights or occasionally when one of us is traveling for work. Olivia loves spending time with Mariana and learning some Spanish words. I keep in mind her opinion since she is the one that spends time with Mariana and her feedback is always good. Every time I talk to Mariana, she is kind and respectful I have no complains she is awesome !!!"

A little bit about me

I have been working as a nanny for about 25 years. I take great joy in working with children and love to help them grow and explore the world. I am very proud of seeing my 'children' grow up into successful youth/adults.

I am caring, reliable, and always strive to provide a safe and loving environment for your children. I love playing with children, doing 'floor time', taking walks, going to the park or reading books.

I am a native spanish speaker but speak fluent english as well. I am happy to speak to your children in either language.

I am happy to work with one family or as part of nanny-share in the DC metro area.

I am legally authorized to work. I am also fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Looking forward to meeting you and your family.

"Ileana is a caring nanny with lots of experience with babies and young children. She brings a fun and familial attitude to her job, which was a major plus for both our baby and us the parents. She is very thorough in taking care of all aspects of caring for our child (everything from feeding, to cleaning and organizing, laundry etc) and goes the extra mile in making sure to complete all tasks. Our daughter warmed up to her immediately. Unfortunately, our personal circumstances changed and we have been forced to let Ileana go starting September 2022. She will be missed greatly by our daughter and ourselves. We are committed to helping her find a family that is as loving and caring to her as she has been to us. Please feel free to reach out, would love to tell you more about her."
