A little bit about me

At my core, I’m a connector. I love meeting people, building relationships, opening doors, and turning ideas into opportunities. I’m naturally entrepreneurial, highly driven, and comfortable walking into a room where the path isn’t clearly defined and figuring it out.

My career has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of treating people well. I’ve experienced the highs and lows of building a career and a company, and each chapter has made me more determined to create something meaningful.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Eugenia, and I believe I would be an excellent nanny for your family.

Additionally, my background as an art teacher has equipped me with creative skills to design fun and enriching activities.

I am also highly active and enjoy incorporating physical activities into daily routines to promote a healthy lifestyle. Being fully bilingual in English and Spanish allows me to effectively communicate and provide a multicultural environment, enriching your child's learning experience. My commitment is to create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where your children can thrive and grow.

A little bit about me

I'm a dedicated USC graduate who has a love for working with children and families. My heart has always been drawn to making a meaningful difference in children's lives whether it be mentoring, tutoring, or providing general care. Throughout my life, I found joy in building community and making a positive impact. During my high school years, I volunteered at the local parks and recreation center, where I saw firsthand the impact of fostering connections with youth and creating engaging, nurturing environments. Throughout my college experience, I actively sought out opportunities to empower underprivileged youth, having come from an underprivileged background myself. I dedicated my time to running an after-school program near USC, serving as a camp counselor for inner-city children in New York, and providing mentorship within my scholarship organization. These experiences shaped an empathetic, responsible, and creative approach to caregiving.
