A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Luna!
I was born and raised in Ecuador, moved to Canada for my studies, and am now living in the U.S. Caring for children has always been something close to my heart. I truly love spending time with kids and babies, supporting their growth, and learning from them every day. I approach childcare with patience, empathy, and genuine joy. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, helping with learning activities, or keeping a calm and safe environment, I always prioritize the child’s well-being.
I am reliable, organized, and attentive, and I treat the children in my care with the same love and respect I would give to my own family. I’m also fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to introduce children to a second language if parents are interested.
I’m excited to bring warmth, care, and dedication to the right family.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Robin, I’m a 31 year old South African. I completed my aupair program in Northern California where I took care of two adorable boys. I recently completed my second aupair program in the Netherlands where I took care of a lovely baby girl who was six months old when we met and a courageous boy who was two when we met. I’ve got a great deal of childcare from my volunteering jobs in South Africa as well as from my nieces and nephews. I am a responsible young lady and I enjoy being with kids. I feel like we learn so much from children. As much as we have to teach them and keep them safe, we learn from them.

A little bit about me

My name is Kaley Williams and energy mine as well be my middle name! I am a young college student (psychology major) and professional dancer/choreographer. I have hopes of becoming a dancing children's therapist. Sounds a little crazy huh? Well, my mission to give children an outlet for expression in a positive, encouraging, fun artistic setting. I believe art is an amazing form of expression and can help kids get through tough adolescent issues they might face. From drawing, to singing, dancing, acting, I believe art expression is so important in any child's development. I've been a part time caretaker of two young children for the past two years and not only do I feel as though I impacted their growth, they've impacted mine and gave me new ways to look at life. I will always put the safety and happiness of the child before anything else. I believe life is short and gets more stressful the older you get. So children deserve to stay young innocent and happy.

"For a two year period I was fortunate to teach two of Emily's children. Since that time her children now have their own children and she has assisted in raising them. I remain in contact with Emily and her family and they are all wonderful. Emily has always been a supportive, honest, and hard-working individual. Although she never served as a nanny for my own children, I've witnessed her take excellent care of children for over ten years."
