A little bit about me
I've been caring for children of all ages in childcare centers and as a nanny for over 30 years. I also have 4 grown sons of my own including twins. I absolutely love children. I am a caring, patient, and attentive nanny who enjoys playing, teaching and being on the go. I have extensive knowledge of child development and age appropriate activities that help a child grow and develop. I focus on nurturing the whole child including social, emotional, physical, and cognitive abilities. I love teaching babies and toddlers sign language to help them communicate their needs. I work hard to foster a sense of responsibility, manners, and respect and lead by example. I consider myself to be very reliable and dedicated. As a mom myself, I understand the desire to have someone care for your children as if they were their own. That is what I aim to provide. I am currently working full time with a family but am available for date nights Fri/Sat.

"Trish has been with us since my daughter was four months old- and who is now seven and she is literally our only babysitter we trust. She has been part of our family since the moment she walked in our house. Trish is absolutely amazing and is well knowledge of all ages- from newborn to grade school children! Her passion and dedication is unmatched and she’s extremely reliable. Don’t be surprised if your toddler already knows all of his/her colors and states after a few visits with Trish! Trish is the best. You won’t find anyone better."

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Solange and I am 25 years old. I know English, Spanish, and some Japanese! I have 7 years of experience in childcare. Alongside my commitment to child development, I am currently starting my Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, and Lactation Consultant courses to further my expertise in this field. Additionally, I am pursuing my long-term goal of becoming a Criminal Psychologist, a separate but equally passionate interest of mine.
With experience in hospitals and special needs care, I excel in sleep training, potty training, routine establishment, and early education. My childcare experience covers a range of scenarios, from twins to single-child households, and infants as young as three months. I am also skilled in meal preparation and light housekeeping. I'm comfortable working with individuals of all ages, including those with delays or disabilities. I can provide my resume, references, and reviews for further insight!

"Solange is a very kind and a dependable sitter when I had her in my home. She entertained and watched over my 1 year old son and my 4 year old daughter along with their 3 year old cousin who just absolutely adored her presence! The second she walked in the door, they would all just tackle her and begging her to play with them. If you are seeking a fun and loving nanny who would be your kid's best friend then I would say that Solange is the right nanny for you."
