A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Sarai Cortes, a college student at the University of North Texas majoring in Economics. I have years of experience working with kids through teaching dance classes, running summer camps, and leading and organizing youth events for children ages 5 to 17 for the berkner bandoleras dance team. I also have two little brothers, ages 7 and 12, who I absolutely love taking care of that’s what inspired me to become a nanny. Caring for children comes naturally to me, I love creating a supportive and fun environment where kids can feel safe, express themselves, and grow. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I bring a lot of patience, creativity, and energy to any role that involves caring for children.
