A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Flor! I’m a warm, dependable and nurturing nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I truly love what I do.

I love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids can be themselves, learn, explore and feel cared for. Whether we’re playing, getting outside, working on a little project, reading together or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon, I’m happy to follow their interests and make the day feel special.

I’m comfortable helping with everyday routines like meals, hygiene and bedtime, and I’m CPR and First Aid certified. I value open communication with parents and building a relationship based on trust, respect and consistency.

The families I’ve worked with can speak to my reliability, professionalism and genuine love for children. References are available upon request.

I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if we’re a good fit!
