Hi families! I’m a former au pair and professional nanny of 4 years. I have 900+ verified hours as a volunteer at a daycare in South Africa. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to new routines and responsibilities. I do have a valid driver’s license with driving experience in all weather conditions and different car types. I am comfortable around small dogs and friendly cats. I am comfortable with light house cleaning(light sweeping, dishes, light laundry, tidying up) and can assist with homework. I am a bit silly and fun but always within reason. If needed I can whip up quick meals too!

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.
