Booked by 2 families in Irving, TX

Hi! My name is Marcela, and I have nearly 3 years of childcare experience as an Au Pair and nanny in the United States. I have cared for children of different ages, helping with school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, after-school activities, and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I am responsible, patient, organized, and caring. I enjoy encouraging children to be active, creative, and confident. I also have experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats, and I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and experience safely driving children to school, sports practices, camps, and other activities. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate effectively with families from diverse backgrounds and even help children learn a second language if desired. Families describe me as trustworthy, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel happy every day.

punctual and very friendly. Would love to have Marcela come again
