A little bit about me

My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children can grow and thrive. I believe in fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning through interactive play, educational activities, and hands-on experiences.
As a reliable and adaptable caregiver, I prioritize clear communication with parents to ensure we're aligned in supporting the family's values and routines. Safety is always my top priority, and I'm trained in CPR and first aid to handle any situation calmly and efficiently.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family and help your children flourish!
I'm fluent in English and Spanish (happy to teach).
I'm an excellent swimmer, have my own car with clean record, love animals, fully vaccinated.

"Lina is an amazing child care provider. She's clever, curious, playful, has incredibly strong common sense and decision making abilities, and she's a pleasure to be around. Lina came to our family as an Au Pair at the end of the pandemic. She and I built a strong relationship and she came to truly love my son. After hosting other Au Pairs in my home, it's easy for me look back on my experience with Lina and compare her to others. She has a strong personality and my son needed that because he likes to push the limits in sometimes unsafe ways. She is someone I trust in an emergency situation and that is so critically important in a Nanny. If there were a challenging situation, I know that Lina would make the right decision - for me that is the most important thing. Lastly, she can multitask and managing a lot of competing priorities. I don't see many young people who have that mastered."
