A little bit about me

Hi there!
I have over 10 years of nanny experience and I am now also a mom to a sweet 1 year old boy who would be with me during care.

I stepped away from childcare and elderly care for a season because my heart took a hit every time a family moved, a child grew up, or an older loved one passed. I needed a pause. I spent a short time back in the restaurant world in summer 2023, but in May 2024 God answered our prayers and I became pregnant at 40! After a high risk pregnancy, I stayed home, and now I’m ready to return to what I truly love. Caring for children. 💛.

✨ What I’m looking for:
• Full time or part time care
• Date nights or occasional care
• After hours care available under certain conditions

I have strong references and years of experience. Childcare is where my heart is and where I feel called to be. I would love to stay in this field, but need to find the right fit soon and will return to restaurants if needed to support my family. 🙂

"Mercedes took care of my grandson for an entire weekend. She was caring, responsible, conscientious, and kept me posted about goings on while I was away. She kept my grandson engaged and entertained while making sure he had healthy meals and adequate rest. My grandson absolutely adores her and has asked about seeing her again since she last took care of him. I confidently recommend her as a caregiver for anyone."

"Mercedes kept our little one for over 2 years. She was an absolute God send. I am a full time working mother and CeCe took such wonderful care of my little man. She not only loved him and played with him she also taught him so much. She completely potty trained him at 2 and taught him his alphabet. I can truly say that CeCe loved him and took care of him as if he was her own. I am very thankful for her and I am happy to answer any questions you might have. She is reliable and a wonderful communicator."

More About Me

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

Wee Worship Volunteer at Liberty Church, plus over 10 years of private nanny and childcare experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love hands-on, creative play—crafts, sensory bins, baking, reading stories, and outdoor adventures. I’m all about making learning fun and creating sweet keepsakes that parents can treasure.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being present and interactive. Nothing is more important to me than your kiddo. Your child is always my #1 priority at ALL times when under my care. From having fun to keeping them safe I am 100% dedicated to them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Watching little ones hit new milestones—whether it’s a baby using sign language for the first time or a toddler proudly showing off what they’ve learned. The sparkle in their eyes when they’re proud of themselves is what fills my heart the most.
