Hi! My name is Flor, I am 28 years old, and I have been caring for children since high school. I have experience with kids from 3 months to 12 years old, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I was previously an Au Pair and I am currently working as a nanny. I have CPR and First Aid certification, I have a valid work permit, and a driver’s license. I am a very loving, patient, and responsible person. I like to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I can help with homework, play activities, and daily routines, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, and all baby-related care. I can cook a variety of meals for the children and I am also comfortable preparing meals for the whole family. I also help with children-related tasks such as laundry, washing and folding clothes, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I always follow parents’ instructions carefully and make sure everything runs smoothly. I would love to support your family and take great care of your children! ☀️🌷🌻
“She has done an excellent job caring for twins, showing great patience, organization, and attentiveness. Managing two children at the same time requires responsibility and experience, and she handles it very professionally. She is reliable, punctual, and always attentive to the children’s safety and individual needs. She creates a caring and fun environment while maintaining routines and staying calm under pressure. Her ability to multitask and provide quality care to both children at once truly reflects her skills and professionalism as a babysitter.”
I got my most experience from raising my three kids, and I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, teaching and playing with them. In the last few years working as a part-time babysitter for children ranging from infants a few months old to 13-year-olds gives me a broad view of child development and a strong foundation for managing different age groups. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I am available early morning and afternoon , and the whole day on Thursday and Sunday, and I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids during these times. I have First Aid/CPR/AED certification, & up to date on flu vaccine. *References available upon request.
“We had a wonderful experience with Fatima. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My son has a hard time when we leave and she handled it really well. I will definitely be using her again in the future. ”
I am a Senior at Shenandoah University, where I play lacrosse and study Psychology, hoping to become a NICU/ pediatric nurse or a speech-language pathologist. I love kids and enjoy being active and being outside as well as cooking and baking. I have been both a nanny and an occasional babysitter for about 5 years. I also have dog sat as well as cat sat. I am also experienced in senior care, as I cared for my grandmother and did 40 hours of clinicals in a senior living center.
