A little bit about me

My name is Mercedes and I was born and raised in California. I moved to Missouri about 3 years ago. I have two younger sisters whom I’ve helped care for throughout my life. I also help babysit my 7-year-old cousin, who has autism. These experiences have helped me develop patience, responsibility, and an understanding that every child has different needs.

More About Me

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

I have helped care for my two younger sisters throughout their lives and also babysit my 7-year-old cousin, who has autism. These experiences have taught me patience, flexibility, and the importance of understanding each child’s individual needs while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and supported.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy reading stories, doing arts and crafts, playing games, and encouraging imaginative play. Outdoor activities like going to the park, taking walks, and playing outside are also fun ways to spend time together. I like choosing activities that match each child’s age, interests, and comfort level so they feel included and engaged.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is making sure children feel safe, cared for, and understood. I value building trust with both children and parents, being patient, and respecting each family’s routines. I want parents to feel confident leaving their children with me and children to feel comfortable being themselves while learning and having fun.
