"I have a one year old and a three year old and Sai was so wonderful with both of them. My one year old was in the throes of stranger anxiety when she started with us but by the end of Sai’s time with us, she absolutely adored her, as did my 3 year old. She took them outside very often, got them to eat their lunches and was overall an incredibly warm, kind and engaged nanny with them. She was always so sweet and helped to clean up even if she didn’t need to. We’ve had nannies in the past who are often on their phones or not as interactive but Sai is not like that at all. Highly recommend her!"

"Mary is an absolute gem. We are heartbroken that her time with us is ending - it is ONLY because our children are full time in school now. Mary began with us 7 years ago and is incredibly dependable and reliable. She is wonderful with children; mine adore her. She interacts with them well, she is creative, she helped them with school and helped them learn numbers, letters, and basics before starting preschool. She is firm with rules but not harsh. She teaches/reinforces manners, kindness, and being a helper. She handled additional responsibilities too: kids laundry, grocery shopping, tidying/generally straightening, starting dinner, etc. She took the children to and from lessons/practices, parks and playgrounds, the public library, and other community activities. We trust her completely. Our children are in wonderfully loving and capable hands with her. I often say we have “a real life Mary Poppins in Mary”. The next family/children for whom she works will be blessed to have her."

A little bit about me
I am enthusiastic, fun, kind and caring, with a passion for helping families. I am convinced that it is important for children to have the most love and best guides during their childhood years, focusing on a child’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I am certified in CPR/First Aid and have worked/volunteered with children programs in hospitals, schools, private homes and through the parks and recreation. I have been a tennis instructor and coach, led camps, organized arts and crafts clubs, and taught K-12 language courses (Spanish, German, and English as a second language). I have also volunteered with church events and Disney runs, including those for Special Olympics. I love nature and outdoor activities but also enjoy, cooking, watching movies, reading, and playing board/card games. I connect easily with children and adults, am very patient, and believe that communication is key to any relationship. I would love to become your nanny!

A little bit about me
I’ve been caring for children since the 1900s :) & four decades later, still adore every stage... newborns-teens. Caring for kids isn’t something I do on the side, it’s been my life’s work, and I bring that dedication into every home I support. I earned my degree in Elementary Education in 1996, then taught at the JCC in Maitland where I worked with the same infants through their toddler years. My co-teacher and I supported their development through sign language, early communication skills, potty training, sleep routines and structured play. I’m a very hands-on caregiver. I love engaging kids in activities that spark curiosity, movement and imagination. Walks outside, sports, crafts, reading time, sensory play and age-appropriate learning are all part of my day. Families trust me because I’m consistent, mature, dependable and fully present with their children. ~°~ My schedule is totally flexible... including newborn night care so mom and dad can rest.

Hi there!
I'm Valentina, and I absolutely love working with kids. Being a nanny has been such a rewarding experience for me, especially getting to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can thrive. I'm bilingual in Spanish and English, which helps me connect with families from different backgrounds.

More than anything, I love building strong bonds with the little ones and their families. Whether it's playing, learning, or just being there for them, I truly enjoy every moment. Can't wait to meet you and your family!
