Hi families! My name is Ximena, I’m 31 years old, and I’m originally from Colombia. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with wonderful families throughout my career, and I recently completed four years with my most recent family. Building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents is something I truly value. I also have references available from multiple families I’ve worked with and would be happy to share them upon request.
I love helping children learn, grow, and explore the world around them in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
A little about my background:
* Over 10 years of childcare experience.
* Four years working with my most recent family.
* References available from multiple previous families.
* Former Au Pair in the Seattle area.
* Adult, Child & Baby First Aid/CPR/AED certified through the American Red Cross.
* Chemical Engineering degree and MBA.
* Bilingual in English and Spanish.
* Tutoring experience.
* Reliable transportation and a safe driving record.
My approach to childcare
I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage children’s curiosity, creativity, independence, and development. Whether we’re exploring local parks, visiting the library for story time, enjoying picnics, attending activities and classes, or arranging playdates, I love keeping children active, engaged, and excited to learn.
At home, we can read books, paint, draw, work on puzzles, play games, dance, sing, and listen to music. I also love incorporating Spanish into everyday activities, giving children a fun and natural opportunity to learn a second language.
A little more about me
I’m warm, patient, honest, organized, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their children. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with each family while providing consistent, loving, and dependable care that supports every child’s individual needs and routines.
I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can support you and your little ones!
I look forward to connecting with you!
“Ximena was our nanny for 1.5 years and have taken care of our 3 very different children. She is smart, patient, regulated, attentive and careful and we trust her a lot with our children. She drives them all around town, from summer camps that are about an hour away, to daily pick-ups and drop-offs from school. She also prepares meals for the kids (according to our instructions), takes the kids to the park after school, and sometimes even gives them baths. She was an angel to us. It was incredible how she was able manage 3 very different kids (from newborn baby to primary school aged child - one with behavioral and sensory challenges) and work with 2 very busy parents. Our instructions to her were short and quick, yet she very capably navigated throughout the household flawlessly. She is also very reachable and responsive. We were never worried about the well being of our kids, and I would say we're generally anxious parents. Our youngest was ready to go to daycare and that’s the reason we didn’t need her anymore otherwise we would’ve been so happy to keep her as our nanny, but whoever gets her next will certainly be well taken care of. Happy to provide a more detailed reference!”
