A little bit about me
My name is Emilia Lopez I´m 21 years old. From San Juan, Argentina living in Novato, California like and au pair but I really want to move to New York.
I studied psychology and that’s helped me a lot to understand kids development.
I'm the oldest of 4 sibling (3 brothers and 1 sister). The youngest is only one year old and I love him so much. Watching how is he growing up without me is a little sad but I'm so happy here that I haven´t feel homesick, at least not yet.
Talking about my childcare experience I used to help my parents driving my siblings and cousins to their activities.
I have 11 cousins, I'm the oldest too. All of them know I will always be there for them, even their parents trust me and ask me for help taking care of their kids. And thats something I really appreciate, every time that someone trust me with the most important part of their life means a lot. Because of that I want to thank you for letting me take care of your kids. I promise you, you won't regret.
Another experience I have is helping teachers with their students in a English institute.
And my last one, with my two lovelies girls. Mackenzie, she is 8 years old and Kennedy who is almost 6 years old.
I always love working with kids because they teach me a lot, they make me want to be a better person.
If I look backwards I realize how much I change not only talking about my childcare experience. Being an au pair tougth me how to see the world with others eyes.
I've always been patient, helpful, responsive, open minded and independent but since I'm here I see that I’m improving all of those qualities.
I'm not ready to go back home because I know I have so much more for learn, improve and I would love to do it with you.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Sara, I'm 25, and I’ve been living in the U.S. since May 2025 as an au pair.
My current program will end in November, and I’m now looking for a wonderful family to support as a live-in nanny.
I truly enjoy working with children, especially ages 5 and up, and I love being part of a structured and caring household. I’m looking for a family with a clear routine, as I will be starting university in January and will need dedicated time for my studies.
I would describe myself as responsible, caring, and very reliable. I’m excited to find the right family where I can build a trusting relationship and continue growing in childcare.
