A little bit about me

​Hi! I’m Cecilia. I have a background in architecture and a deep passion for fine arts (I am a hyperrealist oil painter!). I love bringing that creative energy into childcare, making every day engaging and educational.
​Please note that my primary language is Spanish. While my spoken English is basic, I understand it much better, I am always practicing, and I can easily follow instructions and communicate about the children’s needs. I enjoy organizing fun activities for children, such as:
🎨 Arts & Crafts: Fun painting workshops and customized face painting.
💇‍♀️ Fun Hairstyling: Braids and creative hairstyles for kids.
🧁 Healthy Baking: Fun, sugar-free, and healthy baking projects.

"had the pleasure of employing Claudia as our nanny, and I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy. From the very beginning, she treated our children with kindness, patience, and genuine affection, creating a safe and positive environment for them every day. Claudia was always punctual, responsible, and willing to help wherever needed. She communicated well with us, followed instructions carefully, and took initiative when appropriate. Our children truly enjoyed spending time with her, and we always felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She consistently demonstrated maturity, professionalism, and a strong work ethic. I would not hesitate to hire Claudia again, and I am confident she will be a wonderful addition to any family's home. I wholeheartedly recommend her."

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

When we go outside, I enjoy activities that connect children with nature and movement. I love taking them on nature walks to collect leaves, flowers, or stones that we can later use for our art projects. I also enjoy organizing sidewalk chalk drawing sessions, playing interactive lawn games, and supervising them safely at the local park or playground while encouraging active, imaginative play.

I love keeping children engaged with creative, hands-on indoor projects. I enjoy organizing themed drawing and painting workshops, customized face painting, and teaching them how to do fun crafts. I also love styling hair and teaching girls how to do beautiful braids. Another favorite activity is spending time in the kitchen together making healthy, sugar-free treats and baking fun, wholesome snacks.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a sitter is realizing that I am not just watching over children; I am becoming a part of their childhood memories. I deeply understand that the experiences we share can shape their memory in the future. Because of this, my priority is always to project and transmit the very best of me—bringing warmth, patience, and positive energy so they can look back at our time together with a smile.

My experience with special needs children...

While I do not have direct experience caring for children with special needs, I do have extensive personal experience caring for both elderly family members and older adults with significant health challenges and physical disabilities. This background has made me an incredibly patient, empathetic, and attentive caregiver. I deeply respect individual requirements, and I am completely open and eager to learn the specific care, routines, and needs that your child may have.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My absolute favorite memory from childcare is witnessing the exact moment when a child feels deeply proud of something they have created with their own two hands. Whether it’s finishing a drawing, showing off a face paint design we did together, or baking something from scratch, seeing their eyes light up with confidence and joy is incredibly rewarding. To me, there is nothing better than helping them discover what they are capable of achieving
