Mi nombre es Reyna Banegas, madre de dos hermosas hijas , a lo largo de mi vida me he dado cuenta que la mejor forma de contribuir a esta sociedad es educando a las nuevas generaciones, por eso me comprometí a educarme más sobre el desarrollo infantil por lo cual obtuve mi credencial CDA, será un placer trabajar con una familia que tengamos el mismo objetivo que es brindar una mejor educación, bienestar y buen desarrollo para su hijo.

A little bit about me
I’m a compassionate childcare professional with a deep commitment to nurturing children through emotionally attuned, developmentally informed care. My background spans nanny experience, private preschool education, behavioral support, and trauma-informed coaching, allowing me to support children not only academically and behaviorally, but holistically.
I have experience as a private preschool teacher and possess a strong foundation in early childhood development, with a particular passion for helping children build emotional intelligence, confidence, curiosity, and healthy attachment. I believe childhood is not simply a stage to manage, but a sacred season to cultivate with patience, structure, warmth, and intentionality.
In addition to my childcare experience, I am neurodivergent friendly. I understand that every child processes the world differently, and I strive to create environments where children feel emotionally safe, understood, respected, and empowered to thrive.

A little bit about me
I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. Throughout my career, I have cared for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged children, supporting their growth in a safe, loving, and structured environment. I am patient, nurturing, and dependable. I understand the importance of creating routines that help children feel secure while also encouraging creativity, learning, and independence. I assist with daily activities such as meal preparation, homework help, school drop-offs and pick-ups, organizing playtime, and maintaining a clean and organized space for the children.
Over the years, I have built strong relationships with families by being trustworthy, attentive, and committed to each child’s emotional, social, and educational development. I take pride in providing care that feels like an extension of the family, ensuring children are not only safe but also happy and thriving.
