A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Graciela, and I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) nanny with a genuine love for working with children and supporting families. As a mother of three adult children, I have spent much of my life nurturing, guiding, and caring for little ones through different stages of development.

I consider myself a warm, patient, and dependable caregiver who understands the importance of creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can thrive. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and independence, while always respecting each family’s parenting style and routines.

I take pride in being organized, attentive, and proactive, and I strive to build trusting relationships with both children and parents. It would be a privilege to support your family and provide compassionate, reliable care for your children.

"I had the blessing of having my nanny care for my twin boys throughout the entire year of 2024, and I truly cannot express how grateful I am for her. From day one, she showed so much love, patience, and dedication. Caring for twins is not easy, but she handled everything with calmness, responsibility, and genuine care. She treated my children as if they were her own, always making sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. She was reliable, trustworthy, and always went above and beyond her duties. Whether it was daily routines, playtime, meals, or just comforting them when needed, she was consistently attentive and nurturing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my children were in such good hands while I was working. She became an important part of our family, and we will always be grateful for everything she did for us. I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone loving, responsible, and truly dedicated to childcare."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to my professional nanny experience, I am the mother of three adult children, which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for children through different developmental stages. Over the years, I have also supported first-time parents by sharing guidance, reassurance, and practical childcare knowledge. My experience includes caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and twins. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and strive to create a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment where children can thrive.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping children active, engaged, and having fun. Some of my favorite activities include reading stories, arts and crafts, imaginative play, puzzles, music and dance, baking simple treats, and educational games. I also enjoy spending time outdoors at parks and playgrounds, going for walks, exploring nature, and planning activities that encourage creativity, learning, and confidence. I believe the best experiences are those that make children feel happy, safe, and excited to discover new things.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, being a nanny is about much more than supervising children. It’s about building trusting relationships, providing love and guidance, and helping children develop confidence, kindness, and independence. I value open communication with parents and strive to be a dependable source of support for the entire family. Being part of a child’s growth and knowing I’ve contributed positively to their happiness and well-being is what matters most to me.

My experience with special needs children...

While I have not worked extensively with children who have formally diagnosed special needs, I am patient, compassionate, and eager to learn. I understand that every child is unique, and I work closely with families to follow their guidance, maintain consistency, and provide a supportive and nurturing environment tailored to each child’s individual needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was when a little one I cared for ran to greet me with the biggest smile and said, “I’m so happy you’re here!” It reminded me that beyond routines and responsibilities, the relationships we build with children are based on love, trust, and consistency. Those everyday moments of laughter, cuddles, and watching children gain confidence are what make being a nanny so special to me.
