Hello parents! My experience includes nannying for infants from the newborn stage through 1 year of age (including twins experience) & being a daycare assistant teacher for kiddos aged 2 to 3 years old. I also am experienced in school-age pickups/dropoffs, homework help, & after-school routine management. My approach with your children is loving and caring as if they are my own while maintaining the rules you set as the parent. The basis of my personalized approach is to ensure your kids still meet their emotional, developmental, & psychological goals as if in the parent's care. My experience caring for children with special needs has also greatly benefited my comfort and confidence in childcare. I myself have a nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities. My care for her has sharpened my attentiveness and understanding of the needs of infants and young children, as well as comfort in activities like bathing, Read more dressing, feeding, or entertaining—and not being afraid of handling any messy accidents. I am the oldest child of four, so naturally enjoy caring for others & will feel fulfilled being a helping hand to your family. No job is too big or small, and I often go above & beyond to assist in cooking, housekeeping, or pet care. Please reach out & feel free to ask any questions or verbalize any concerns. I’m excited to speak with you! (I am CPR/First Aid Certified & fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preferring an environment in which others are too, however, am comfortable masking at any point and for any period of time.)

Paloma was timely, flexible, and caring with my infant (11m/o) and toddler (2.5 y/o). She put both my infant and toddler to sleep, and managed two at the same time. She provided text and picture updates and even captured a few notes that she left behind on the counter. I'd recommend!

Paloma was fantastic with our infant. She worked with her as young as 5 weeks old and was always on time, flexible with our hectic schedule, and took amazing care of our little one. Would absolutely work with her again or recommend her to anyone.
