A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Belen. I’m 24 years old and love working with children. My preferred age groups are toddlers to young kids, but I’m open to working with any age and open to caring for more than 1 child. I speak English and Spanish fluently and love sharing my language with the kids I work with! I like to do a lot of outdoor activities and messy independent play where the child is safe and free to explore on their own, combined with more structured age appropriate activities such as reading, cooking, dancing, or art projects. I love to cook and am open to doing meal prep as well as light cleaning. I’m patient, kind and nurturing. I’m hoping to find a younger family to work for that values good communication, as well as having a good working relationship with me. If this sounds like you please don’t hesitate to reach out.
