Hi families! My name is Yessidaly, but I go by Yessy. I’m a devoted Christian from Nashville and I currently nanny a precious 9 month old baby boy! I’ve taught at a daycare to the sweetest class of 2-year-olds! I also serve in the kids’ ministry at my church and have been babysitting for friends and family for a little over 2.5 years. Kids will always have a special place in my heart. I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and reliable, with experience caring for children of all ages. I love doing crafts, singing songs, and using music to create fun and engaging moments. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with light housework like tidying or dishes. As well as adjusting to an ongoing routine if needed. My goal is always to create a safe, joyful environment where children feel loved, cared for, and encouraged to grow. Additional details about me: • Bilingual in English & Spanish 🇺🇸🇲🇽 • CPR trained 🩺 • Experience in both classroom and home settings I’d love the opportunity to connect with families who are looking for someone trustworthy, energetic, and passionate about caring for kids! 💕
