Hi! My name is Grethel. I have been working with kids since I was 19 and really love be with them. My first job was in a school and I already have 6 years of experience as a nanny. I like to play with them, go to the park or the pool. Also, indoor activities. I'm a good driver with clean record. In my free time, I like to take long walks, read, take courses and roller blading. I got the covid vaccine.

Grethel was great. She got to our house on time and the kids had a lot of fun with her.

Hi! I’ve worked with over 40 families, including several long-term (over a year with some). I provide reliable, nurturing childcare and can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping when combined with child care (for an additional fee). I’m CPR/First Aid certified and happy to help with homework support. I’m currently looking for a long-term, part-time position with a great family. Previously, I lived in Colombia for 2 years, where I taught kindergarten through 2nd grade, and also led extracurricular classes for middle school students. Was teaching English for kids in some villages in Bali. I also worked as a personal assistant, so I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and family dynamics. I speak English, Indonesian, and Spanish, and I love animals so dogs and cats are always welcome. In my free time, I’m very active and love trying new sports , currently doing horseback riding and crossfit and I’ve also enjoyed archery, bouldering, and other adventurous activities.

I finished LPN (Licenced Practical Nurse). I have years of experiences working with an infant, toddler, and school aged children. Kids are adorable. I don't have my own, but I have several nieces and nephews I babysit and love as my own kids. I love my family so much, they're my everything.

Laurelle was wonderful with our son and he had a great time. I’d definitely hire her again!
