Warm, dependable nanny based in the DC Metro area with a strong track record of caring for both infants and school-aged children. Bringing decades of leadership experience in architecture and operations management in Venezuela, I offer families a highly organized, calm, and nurturing presence. Since relocating to the U.S. to be closer to my children, I have embraced childcare with dedication and joy. I am attentive to developmental milestones, provide age-appropriate educational play, and foster a safe, structured, and enriching environment. Fluent in Spanish, First Aid/CPR certified, and culturally sensitive, I offer families reliable support, clear communication, and a deeply caring approach to every child’s individual needs.

Hi! I just graduated nursing school from the University of South Caroline in December of 2022. I am living at home for a few months before I move down to Charleston, SC this spring to start a job on a cardiac floor at MUSC. I have worked with children of all ages and capabilities since I was in middle school. I have always loved caring for children, so I hope to one day work in a NICU or pediatric unit! I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and am happy to show proof. I have my own car and would be happy to drive your children to any activities!
