A little bit about me

I just completed a two-year period caring for a beautiful 4-month-old baby girl. What a wonderful experience it was to be by her side, attentive to her needs, care for her, and give her so much love. I love working with children because you can teach them so much and learn from them at the same time. Their growth and development are so important; I like to focus a lot on interactive play where children can discover new things and continue to grow up healthy and happy.

More About Me

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

I have a lot of experience with children throughout my life, mainly I was lucky enough to take care of and watch my nephew grow up, I also have other experiences with babies and I recently finished a cultural exchange program taking care of a baby from 4 months old until 2 years and three months old.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I like to involve children in age-appropriate activities. For example:
With babies, I use movement games, sensory activities, and activities to strengthen their fine motor skills. I work with music and involve the children in fun songs and dances.
Reading: I read many books to the children, helping them grow and discover new worlds.
Exercise: Exercise is part of my daily routine. I like to involve the children in daily physical activity, such as going for walks or visiting a park, always finding a suitable way to do it depending on their age.
Painting and crafts: Children generally find painting very appealing, and I always try to instill a love for painting and creating art.
Above all, I feel that the most important thing is to make the children happy and to be present throughout the process to help them understand and experience the world.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The goal is to provide support with love and patience throughout each process, caring for and teaching in every situation.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My recent experience with my baby has been wonderful. She's gone from babbling to saying simple words and phrases, and it's been wonderful to be there. One day we were listening to a song about a baby, and this song used words like "pretty" and "cute." At the end, my baby told me, "Meli is cute and pretty," and she looked at me with such affection. I thought it was so sweet.

Many times, when we were out for walks around the house, she would pick up little pieces of tree branches and say she wanted to meet a bear and give them to it as a gift. Haha, I was amazed by her imagination and her funny ideas.

Each child has left a memorable impression on my life
