Hello! My name is Karol, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with over two years of professional experience caring for children, plus several more caring for younger family members. I have a certificate confirming my work experience in childcare and I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, especially those not yet in daycare or school. I love connecting with little ones through play, music, and learning moments. I’m patient, nurturing, and always focused on creating a calm and loving environment where children feel safe and happy. I’m fluent in Spanish and currently improving my English. I would love to work with an English-speaking family and am happy to introduce your children to Spanish naturally through play, songs, and everyday interaction. I can help with: • Preparing meals and snacks for children • Diaper changes and nap routines • Light housekeeping and children’s laundry • Keeping play areas tidy and organized • Engaging them in creative, screen-free activities I’m looking for a respectful and kind family who values open communication and trust.

Leila Oxon Hill
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Leila, I'm from Argentina, I'm 29 years old and I'm a kindergarten teacher! I have seven years of experience taking care of kids (five years in Argentina and two years in the United States) mostly infants and toddlers. I consider myself a responsible, patient, respectful and tidy person. Also I have some references from a couple of families and from my church's leader (I was a volunteer every Sunday at my church, I was in babies room, taking care of them while their parents attend the service) As for my childcare skills, it's very important to me that the child feels safe and secure in an organized environment. I also believe in providing a daily routine, as this is crucial for young children. I hope to hear from you soon☺️
