Hi, my name is Valentina and I'm offering child care. I love taking care, playing, teaching and spending time with infants and toddlers. I have a certification in early childhood education and I worked in a school where I did didactic and meaningfu activities for them to develop their motor, cognitive, sensory and communicative skills through play such as painting, singing, dancing, reading and imagining stories, tasting and feeling different textures.
โSuper professional and responsive. Was flexible at the last minute and clearly had the kids engaged and having fun (without a screen ๐). 2 boys aged 6 and 8 gave rave reviews. โ

โAnna is an amazing sitter, I can't say enough good things about her. She was so engaging with my *very* active 6 year old. My kid really liked her and he even said she helped him navigate a social situation in the park when some kids were not being nice. Anna is warm, creative, and responsible, and one of the best caregivers I've seen. โ
