Yvonne $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yvonne, and I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a nanny and I’m looking to fill in extra days when I’m available. I am a mom of two children, which has given me a deep understanding of children’s needs, routines, and emotional care. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I am flexible and always respectful of parents’ preferences and routines. I have my own car and reliable transportation. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, as I have a dog myself and love animals. My primary language is Spanish, and I have an intermediate level of English. I am always open to learning and improving my language skills. I take my work seriously and treat every family and child with care, patience, and respect. I would love the opportunity to support your family!
