Booked by 1 family in Barker, TX

Hello! My name is Blanca, and I am a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider. I have over 10 years of experience as an early childhood teacher working with children from birth to age 5, along with 3 years of experience as an education coach supporting children, teachers, and families. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychopedagogy ( evaluated by Spantran ) which gives me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional needs. I am patient, nurturing, and calm, and I focus on creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and secure. I am CPR and First Aid certified, Food Handler certified, and bilingual in English and Spanish. Safety is always my top priority, and I am very attentive to routines, hygiene, and family preferences. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate play, reading, and quiet activities, especially during evening and bedtime routines. Parents describe me as dependable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I value trust and consistency and take pride in providing quality care. I am available for evening care after 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends, including date nights. I look forward to supporting your family and caring for your little ones.
