A little bit about me

My name is Natalia Rodríguez, and I’m very interested in the nanny position in Hayward. I’m an experienced and caring nanny with over two years of childcare experience — I cared for two children (ages 5 and for one year, and later for a little girl in San Francisco from age 4 to 6.

I’m originally from Colombia and currently a master’s student at the University of San Francisco. I recently moved to Hayward, CA, so your location is perfect for me. I’m vegetarian, a non-smoker, and fully up-to-date on my vaccinations.

I speak both English and Spanish, love working with children, and always focus on creating a warm, safe, and stimulating environment. I’m responsible, organized, and happy to help with baby-related chores such as feeding, diaper changes, organizing clothes, and keeping the play area clean.

I would be delighted to bring my positive energy, patience, and experience to care for your twins full-time.
