Hello! It's so nice to meet you. My name is Bianca, and I am a local babysitter with extensive experience in childcare, training, and education. I love children of all ages and use my energetic, creative, and soft skills to care for and educate them. My goal is to make your child feel safe, and given the opportunity, equip them for the world around. My experience includes working at Primrose Schools as a child educator, serving as a caretaker and student leader at a local church, and family babysitting.

I look forward to meeting you and your lovely family!

I'm a very reliable, energetic and patient person. I'm originally from Colombia so my first language is Spanish but I know English. I have a lot of experience with kids. In my country I work as a teaching assistant for 3 years in a primary school, In USA I worked as an au pair for more than a year and for more than 4 years working for the same family with a neurodivergent kid. I have experience with kids from 6 months to 10 years and special needs kids too. I love kids and I feel very comfortable with them. Right now I’m looking for a nanny position in the morning since I’m going to school in the afternoon.
