More About Me

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

I have been a teacher for over 15 years. I have also counseled children and families for 10 years. Using a calm approach for redirecting children and setting good boundaries.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Cooking is an amazing activity with children. Learning critical thinking skills by reading directions, measuring, inaction of ingredients, temperature setting, setting timers, removing cooked items from stove, and cleaning up after done.


Children involved in activities, like scouts, swimming, self-defense classes, and anything they show interest, is important to their development.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Working with children to provide a healthy, happy home environment. Setting boundaries and enjoying life. Working with children on learning daily life skills like cooking, cleaning, and self-care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I feel that when there are light bulb moments it is so rewarding. When a child masters a skill like making cookies for a class bake sale, there is so much joy with the end results. We turn on the music, dance around the kitchen to the beat, and just have fun.

Together, we measured out all the ingredients, mixed them, added nuts and chocolate chips, put them on cookie sheets, and baked them. While baking, we cleaned up the kitchen together so once cookies were done, the kitchen was spotless.

After the tasting test and putting them inside a container, the child gave me a huge smile and hug thanking me for a really fun time while working really hard.

Hi! My name is Jenny Aguilar, I am 29 years old and I just moved to Houston, TX. I have prior experience in childcare as well as infant care. I was with a 3 year old toddler as well as his sweet 2 month baby sister. I was with their family for 3 years and they changed my life in ways that are so small but so grand. I changed diapers, took them baths, prepared lunch, did feedings, tummy time, read to them, took the toddler to the pool for swim lessons, went to parks, walks. Kept up with their laundry and their living areas tidied. I make lists weekly of any items the children may need. Such as diapers, wipes, rash creams, lotion, shampoo conditioner, body wash, formula, etc. to help parents keep track of those needs. I love children, I love watching them grow and teaching them to the best of my capabilities. I understand that they require all my patience and kindness and will never neglect them of those things.
