A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Isabel 🤍

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient nanny with years of hands-on experience. I’ve been surrounded by children my whole life and have helped care for kids since I was 14, including my 7 nieces and nephews. Being around children truly makes me happy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.

I’ve had my driver’s license for almost 5 years with a completely clean record, and I’m very comfortable driving long distances. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities.

I’m currently in college and taking my classes online, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and fully dedicate my time to the families I work with.

I’m also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and pets. I’m dependable, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to support your family.

I would love to be a positive, caring presence in your child’s life 💕
