Tianna $30 per hour for 1 child

Bilingual (English–Spanish) caregiver with over 8 years of experience nurturing and educating children from infancy through school age. I bring 3–5 years of hands-on care for infants and 5–10 years supporting toddlers and school-aged children in their daily routines, development, and learning. Former Au Pair with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and CPR certification for children, I am known for creating safe, structured, and engaging environments where children can thrive. My approach blends respect, discipline, and positive behavior reinforcement, helping children build confidence and independence while learning through play, creativity, and exploration. Gifted in dancing, painting, and acting, I integrate art and movement into daily activities to encourage imagination, coordination, and emotional expression. Families appreciate my warm, responsible nature and my ability to form strong, trusting relationships based on open communication and care.

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 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!
