Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Valentina. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including 2 years here in the U.S. I’ve taken care of newborns as young as 3 months old, as well as toddlers, preschoolers, and kids up to 10 years old and beyond. I have a degree in Business Administration, and I’m naturally organized, patient, and proactive. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can grow and feel supported. I’m also CPR certified through an agency-approved course, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I love animals, so I’m happy to be in homes with pets, and I’m comfortable helping out with light housekeeping, laundry, tidying up toys, and preparing simple meals for the kids. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I love using songs, games, and reading time to help kids learn and have fun — especially if they’re learning a second language. Families often describe me as responsible, warm, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being punctual, reliable, and treating every home with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family and building a great connection with your little ones!
