Hi! I’m Nay. Spanish is my first language, and I’m a professional educator with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education, a postgraduate specialization in Play-Based Pedagogy, and a Master’s degree in Education. I am currently certified in CPR and First Aid. My background in education allows me to combine attentive and responsible childcare with fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, language development, and independence. I have hands-on childcare experience with infants and toddlers, including meals and snacks, diaper changes, naps, playtime, walks, playground outings, and daily routines. I also have extensive experience with preschool and school-age children through my professional background in education. Since Spanish is my first language, I’m happy to introduce and reinforce Spanish naturally through songs, play, books, everyday routines, and conversation. Families can expect me to be patient, responsible, organized, attentive, and communicative. I respect each family’s routines and preferences and always prioritize creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for their children. I’m especially interested in occasional babysitting opportunities, including date nights, evenings, weekends, and one-time care. I look forward to meeting your family!
My name is Cynthia, and I’ve been a professional nanny for over 19 years. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for children to grow and thrive. Families I’ve worked with describe me as caring, reliable, flexible, and honest. I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children, and I’m always ready to adapt to each family’s unique needs and routines. I’m currently looking for a new family to work with long-term and bring my years of experience, warmth, and dedication to your home.
