A little bit about me

When I needed a nanny for my own child, I experienced the disappointment of having my parenting instructions not always followed, especially regarding candy and screen time. That experience inspired me to provide the kind of care I would have wanted for my own child: attentive, responsible, creative, and respectful of each family's values and routines.

I am a creativeand enjoy a safe and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. As a bilingual Spanish-English speaker with a background in music and the arts, I love bringing creativity into childcare through reading, storytelling, arts and crafts, music, and activities that encourage curiosity and imagination.

I am dependable, patient, and happy to help with homework, meal preparation, and everyday routines. Most importantly, I believe childcare is about more than supervision; it is about building trust, making children feel safe, supporting their development while respecting their parents' wishes.
