A little bit about me

I am a nurse from Colombia with a passion for working with children and their families. Fluent in Spanish, I have extensive experience caring for babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. Currently, I work in a daycare in Arlington, where I foster a nurturing and supportive environment for preschool kids.

I hold an EEC course certification and have a license to care for up to six children. My goal is to not only support children in their development but also to engage families from diverse cultural backgrounds, sharing my Colombian culture and learning from theirs.

I enjoy creating enriching activities, including arts and crafts, that promote creativity and growth. I am eager to become a part of a family, helping children to grown with meaningful experiences.

A little bit about me

I am a mother of a 16 year old son and an experienced early education teacher of 14 years. I have worked with children from the ages of infancy 6 years of age.

In addition, I've worked as a nanny for a few years of several families and have experience with babysitting for families that I knew from the schools I have worked at.

I've always had a passion for working with children and treat them as my own. I am nurturing, fun and happy person. I implement appropriate discipline by talking to them and teaching right from wrong (never physical), help the child learn how to regulate their feelings and teaching children manners and respect. Most importantly, creating an loving, fun and stress-free environment so children can thrive to be their best! 😊

A little bit about me

Hi! I would love to meet you all and learn more about your family! I just graduated from Boston College with a major in Social Psychology and a minor in Restorative Justice. Growing up, my family took care of foster children and as a foster sister, I went from being an only child to simultaneously being a caregiving and sibling in one. That irreplaceable bond inspired me to pursue babysitting through high school, college and now post graduation. I love working with kids of all ages and supporting their growth as well as providing support for their families. I hope that we are a perfect match and I look forward to connecting soon!

A little bit about me

With 6 years of childcare/nannying experience, and a lifetime worth as a big sister, I can assure you l will be a helpful addition to you and your family. I pride myself in my time-management and organizational skills, but also making sure the children are having fun and enjoying themselves!

My main goal is to make sure we have colored with every crayon, played every game and read every book. I do not mind taking on multiple tasks like a little cleaning, laundry and of course making sure the kids are fed or if they have any school work. I have my own vehicle, therefore if the children need any rides or you need help with running errands, I am your helping hand.

I've always loved helping out my family and friends if they ever needed another set of hands with their children, and being the oldest in my family it came easy to me. I'm here for families who might need full-time help and I'm also open to parents who need a once in a while care-taker so they can take time to relax.
