A little bit about me

Hello Families,

I'm thrilled to share that I've been in childcare for 9 wonderful years. With a Bachelor's in Child and Adolescent Development and a minor in Special Education, I bring both love and expertise to what I do.

Children inspire me every day. Their simple joys remind us what life is really about. My role as a caregiver focuses on building trust to foster growth. I advocate play-based learning and have specialized training in social and emotional development.

Your child's safety is paramount to me. I'm CPR-certified and fluent in Spanish, adding a bilingual twist to our days. I love active, educational outings-think parks, libraries, and museums-to keep kids engaged with the world around them.

I'm on the lookout for a nanny position to bring my blend of experience and passion into your family life. My aim is to help them grow in a safe and loving environment.

A little bit about me

Something that is very important to me, is that every kid should be and feel loved always. I am very understanding with the need to have a lot of patience with kids. I am super playful, I love playing with kids and having that comfortability with them. I am helpful and am willing to be that extra person for you with anything needed, for as long as you are patient enough to give me specific directions when needed. I am lovable and kind and am aware that everything I do I am setting an important example for the kids when their parents are not there. I love reading to kids and putting scenarios into imagination, to imagine things and know that they can do and become whatever it is they aspire to in life. However, I can also be firm and draw the line when needed, to assure a kid understands when I am serious about following a certain rule. Kids safety will always come before my own, and I will ensure to keep them safe for as long as they are in my care.
