A little bit about me

I'm originally from Colombia, arrived in 2015 as an Aupair (Philly-Portland, OR). After the Au pair program, I decided to move and (later)stay in SD.
I speak Spanish/English fluently and basic ASL, which I teach to the babies.

Every single one of my past jobs have been with 2m-18m old. My extensive experience is mainly focused on that age gap, (it’s also my favorite 😆)
I have tried/experienced every method out there regarding sleep training, solids, routine, baths, potty, feeding schedules, formula brands and colic/reflux babies.

After covid, I decided to follow the steps to become a Paramedic. Currently, I attend evening classes to be an EMT.
I’m a transgender man, I was born and lived most of my life as a woman. Now I use he/him pronouns. Some families may feel uneasy at the idea of a “manny”, but once you see me interact with them, you'll realize I'm a baby whisperer. My gift is to understand non verbal cues = babies language 🤷🏽‍♂️

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I grew up in going to orphanages to bring stuff to the kids and play with them for a day every month.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I’m not the kind of nanny that only stroller walks the baby. I am a very active nanny, I talk to the baby all day and engage with them 100% of the time. I believe/know people underestimate how much can babies understand.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Remember we are the adults, every single moment for them is a new thing to learn.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked with a baby who needed to wear earring aids all his wake time. With that brings, keeping an eye so he doesn’t take them off, clean them, put them on and off, etc.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think now they has been several years and all my babies are kids now, it’s amazing to see them grow
