hey! my name is Perla and i’m currently finishing my year as an au pair. I’m offering child care and household services. I’ve been babysitting for multiple years now. I’ve been a pool supervisor in a summer camp for one season when I was 18. I took care of different kids before coming to the US to be an au pair. And also a have a younger sister. My responsabilities with my current host family are helping helping with the morning routine, lunch prep and getting them ready for school. After school i prepare them dinner, play any boardgames, watch a movie, or anything that comes at the moment. it really depends on the day and the kids mood. I don’t have a drivers license, i mostly manage via public transport or uber. I feel comfortable working with animals. We have two cats here where i live and i have one cat on my own back at home, so i love animals a lot🫶🏻

“We had the pleasure of working with Diana as the nanny for our 2½-year-old daughter, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Diana is extremely professional, dependable, and always on time. She consistently went above and beyond to support our family in every way possible. Diana cared for our daughter in our home with warmth, patience, and genuine attention. In addition to providing excellent childcare, she helped with light household responsibilities such as folding and organizing laundry, making beds, and keeping our daughter’s space neat and well organized. She also prepared healthy meals for our daughter and made sure her daily routine was followed. Diana regularly picked up our daughter from daycare and took her to the park or library, creating engaging and fun learning experiences. She supported our child’s development through reading, play, and age-appropriate activities, and she also helped with bath time and bedtime routines. Most importantly, Diana created a safe, loving, and structured environment where our daughter thrived. Any family would be fortunate to have her as their nanny, and we would gladly hire her again.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
