Grew up taking care of my younger sister while both my parents worked long hours. Worked for healthcare system backoffice software for the last decade. Looking to make a bigger community impact and help real people outside the healthcare system. I'm extremely patient and work well with all sorts of personalities, albeit I can be a little bit awkward sometimes. I love fixing things and getting into the details. Always happy to listen to people's stories.

Hi! I’m Valentina 😊 I’m originally from Colombia 🇨🇴 and currently live in San Francisco. I speak Spanish and English, and I really enjoy working with children and getting to know their little personalities. I’m also a Marketing graduate from Colombia, and I’d be happy to share my language and culture with your family if you’re interested. I’d love to teach Spanish through everyday conversations, songs, books, or little things from Colombian culture in a fun and natural way. 👶 My childcare experience Right now, I work full-time taking care of a 10-month-old baby during the day, so I’m very comfortable with the everyday routine that comes with caring for a baby. I help with things like: • Bottles and meals • Diaper changes and getting dressed • Naps and bedtime routines • Tummy time and age-appropriate play • Reading, singing, and keeping the baby engaged • Going for walks and getting out of the house • Following the parents’ routine and instructions • Making sure the baby is always safe and comfortable Before my current job, I cared for a 2-year-old boy, and I’ve also babysat children of different ages. I also regularly babysit, including two sisters who are 3 and 5 years old. I’ve learned that every child is different. Some want to play nonstop, some need a little more patience when they’re tired, and sometimes the best part of babysitting is simply getting down on the floor and playing with them. I really enjoy that part of the job. ❤️ 🧸 What I enjoy doing with kids ⚽️ I don’t like babysitting to feel like I’m just “watching” a child. I like being involved with them and making the time together fun. Depending on their age and what they enjoy, I like doing things such as: • Arts and crafts 🎨 • Reading books 📚 • Drawing and coloring • Music and dancing 🎶 • Imaginative play • Going to the park or taking walks • Age-appropriate games • Helping with meals and snacks • Creating a calm routine before nap or bedtime I’m also happy to follow whatever routine parents already have at home. I know how important consistency is, especially for babies and toddlers. ❤️ A little more about me • CPR Certified ❤️‍🩹 • Fully vaccinated 💉 • Non-smoker 🚭 • Pet-friendly 🐾 • Spanish & English speaker 🇨🇴🇺🇸 • Marketing graduate 🎓 • Experienced with babies & toddlers 👶

hey! my name is Perla and i’m currently finishing my year as an au pair. I’m offering child care and household services. I’ve been babysitting for multiple years now.

My responsabilities with my current host family are helping helping with the morning routine, lunch prep and getting them ready for school. After school i prepare them dinner, play any boardgames, watch a movie, or anything that comes at the moment. it really depends on the day and the kids mood.

We have two cats here where i live and i have one cat on my own back at home, so i love animals a lot🫶🏻
