Hi my name is Tigerlily, I have been babysitting since a young age and I am experienced with new borns - middle school aged kids! I was a preschool teacher for the last 2 years but unfortunately lost my job due to Covid. Teaching/getting to work with kids is my passion. I am currently a live in nanny and am *ONLY LOOKING FOR LIVE IN *nanny opportunities! My time with the current family will be up at the end of March, but that time frame is flexible. I love to travel, cook, clean, i love animals, swimming, and really any outdoorsy activities! i’m pretty adventurous, super outgoing, and I have a huge heart. Please let me know if you’d like a copy of my resume along with my references!

A little bit about me
I'd describe my personality as caring, loving and patient.
I like working with kids because it's so important and they're so innocent and lovable.
I'm looking for a job where I can be fully dedicated to a child's experience and help support a family.
I started working with kids from when I went to college to study early childhood education. I have been a nanny for 9 years now helping to support 3 different families from infancy until the kids went to school.
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family (two sons) and my dog.
One thing you should know about me is that I'm passionate about my native language, Spanish, and I will teach it / speak with your child in Spanish. All the children I have cared for are bilingual as a result.
My skills include supporting the child emotionally, helping the parents navigate transitions, and a lot of patience.

"Telma has been an integral part of our family and an invaluable part of our journey to raise our son. She’s been full of love and patience and she has been available and flexible for us as necessary. Thanks to her - our son is now fluent in both Spanish and English, and their bond is palpable. She truly loves children and has incredible pride in her job and work ethic as a result. Our son is starting full time school, but if not for that - she would be with us forever. I cannot cannot recommend Telma enough and am happy to do reference calls to talk more about what an amazing experience it is working with her and having her in your home and your child’s life."

"We needed a temporary nanny and after connecting with several nannies, we hired Francisca. Just from the initial communication she was professional and personable. It was lovely to find out she was even better on the job. She provided care for my four-month-old son but my two year old also felt instantly comfortable with her. My son was very well taken care of and Francisca was able to learn and adapt to our style quickly. I notice she is intuitive and attentive in her care for my son and the fact that she has an RN background and caregiving background comes through. Francisca will be a great help to any family and we recommend her very much."

"Diana worked with us and our almost two-year old and she was fantastic!! She safely drove Miles to and from daycare every day, prepared healthy food and fed him, changed diapers, bathed him, started working on potty training, introduced him to new foods, took him to the playground, and spoke to him in a way that we really think immensely expanded his vocabulary. She had such a natural way of communicating with him and explaining things to him that worked so well and is continuing to help him mature into a happy, healthy and communicative toddler! She was always extremely prompt, never late, and super flexible in terms of staying late whenever we needed her to. Additionally she was always willing to help with household tasks like folding laundry, taking out the garbage/recycling and light cleaning of dishes. I am happy to speak more with anyone who is interested in hiring Diana, as we'd love to help her find her next perfect nannying job!"

She is patient, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Whether it was planning fun and educational activities, helping with schoolwork, or simply being a comforting presence, she consistently showed her professionalism and genuine love for children.
Her ability to balance structure and fun made a significant impact on my children’s growth and happiness. She is also incredibly responsible, punctual, and communicative, always keeping us informed and ensuring a smooth routine for our family.
