A little bit about me

I am a Colombian nanny with more than 6 years of experience caring for children from newborns (0 months) up to 8 years old. I am responsible, patient, and creative, always fostering safe, nurturing, and stimulating environments for children.

I am a professional chef, which allows me to provide healthy meals tailored to each child’s needs, and I am currently studying Business Administration, demonstrating strong organizational skills and commitment to continuous learning.

I speak both Spanish and English, which enables me to support children in a bilingual environment. I enjoy outdoor activities, educational games, and creative play that promote children’s integral development. I also have my own car, which ensures reliability and flexibility with schedules.

📅 Availability: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. (Tuesdays and Thursdays are dedicated to my studies.)

A little bit about me

Hey there! My name is Paige I’m 24 years old and currently working as a daycare teacher for 3-4 year olds! I have a BA in Psychology and spent some time after college working as a behavioral health professional in a preschool and also in home with a teenage client. I have found that I love teaching children how to be more independent, how to empathize and problem solve and overall how to be better little humans! Having said that, I don’t love teaching academics which is why I am looking to move out of the school setting. I am excited to start a new chapter with a family that values teaching through play, promoting independence, respect, being kind to all living things and empathy.

I love to engage kids in fun learning experiences while spending time with them. I am a teacher so I am available mid June to early August. I would love to provide you with quality, engaging care for your kid(s)!

"Manuela, or 'Ibiba', is wonderful with children. I interacted with her at the school she worked at, on a weekly basis. I got to know her as a generous, kind, supportive and fun caregiver and as a professional team-player. We became friends, as well. She is trustworthy, fair, kind, intelligent, and creative. Ibiba helps children to grow and learn, play as community members, resolve conflict effectively and learn new language and art skills. I highly recommend her, and trust her to do best by the children she cares for. She will be an excellent caregiver for the children in your life. Please call me with any questions. Best wishes, Lesley Jones Lesleymjones@yahoo.com"
