A little bit about me

My name is Lina, I'm 27 years old and I'm from Colombia. My exchange as an au pair will soon end, which was for 2 years where I took care of a girl from the age of 6 months until now that she is 2 years old. That is why I'm looking for a family that allows me and gives me the confidence to take care of their little ones. I'm a responsible, punctual, spontaneous, loving, maternal, organized, clean, communicative, tolerant and patient person. I love taking care of children and I would love to find a loving and kind family.

"Lina has been our neighbor and dear friend’s au pair for the past 2 years. She willingly cared for our son in addition to our neighbors child and created a wonderful environment for both children. Lina is kind, gracious and obviously cares deeply for the children. My son was always happy to go to her and sad to leave. Lina would be a tremendous addition to any family—we adore and miss her already!"

"Lina is consistent, caring and responsible. She has taken excellent care of our daughter for 2 years. She always finds fun events to take her to and sets up fun and educational activities to keep her occupied. She is very patient with children and also has been excellent about teaching our child Spanish. Our daughter loves her. We did decide to put her in daycare this year to help better prepare her for classroom environments in the future, but we have absolutely loved working with Lina these past 2 years and hope to continue to have her babysit!"

More About Me

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

I was an Au Pair and took care of a little girl for 2 years, from 6 months to 2 years old. I attach references!
I have also babysat for hours taking care of children from 0 to 3 years old. I attach references!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I'm a creative person, I like to make fun crafts, but I also enjoy spending time with children outside doing play activities in parks or playgrounds. I also find the directed activities in some libraries very interesting and helpful, there you can find many activities that help to stimulate your child's growth.
And I also like to do playdates with other children similar to their age, thus achieving a good performance in socialization.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important thing is to love, have patience and tolerance. You definitely have to have a connection with the children.
Understand that they are children and their actions are part of their learning and it is also up to you to help them learn well.
