I have been first aid and CPR certified many times in the last decade as a lifeguard and swim teacher, and, as aforementioned, can teach your kids water safety in these summer months. I am also more than willing to help around the house, with pets, and anything else to keep yours and your kids' lives moving smoothly.

A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a devoted nanny of 8+ years and mom of two young children who believes in caring for the whole child and supporting the whole family. My approach blends gentle parenting with a holistic focus—nurturing emotional, physical, and developmental well-being with patience, empathy, and intention.

Additionally, as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), I bring a strong foundation in health, safety, and compassionate care to my work, creating a safe, loving environment where children can truly thrive.
I love being outdoors, exploring new things, and expressing creativity through arts. Staying active, spending time with family and animals, and learning about holistic wellness all inspire the care I give.
I believe children grow best when surrounded by love, respect, and curiosity—and I feel honored to be part of that journey.

"I highly recommend Diana as a babysitter! She has worked for me in the past and was absolutely amazing. My boys loved spending time with her, and I could see how much she genuinely cared for them. Not only did she keep them safe and entertained, but they also picked up a few words in Spanish, which was such a fun bonus! Diana was dependable, kind, and a pleasure to work with during the time we needed her. I truly appreciated her warmth and the positive energy she brought into our home. I would definitely hire her again and confidently recommend her to any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter."

Hello my name is Cleo! I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and I am the second in a family with three siblings. Care-taking has always come naturally to me and I have extensive experience working with children and families for many years.
