Maribel R., Babysitter in Salem, NY 12865 with 13 years of paid experience

Hello moms and dads , My name is Maribel ( 35 yrs old ) I'm originally from Lima, Peru. I am passionate about life , advocacy for children , nature and animals. I love serving others. I have always been a courageous and an, independent person since I was very young . I worked in a preschool setting back home in Peru for 2 years. After that I decided to apply for the.Au Pair program in Europe. I lived in the Netherlands for one year taking care of a 5 and 7 year. Full time . When my time was done there I thought to work as a Live in Caregiver so I went to Canada and worked for a wonderful family of 6. Left after 3 years and flew to the States since I arrived here I have worked for several families through the country - various settings. Like NY SD PA FL , OH. In all of them I was a live in nanny but beside. This also as a household manager and that's where I apply organizational skills. And tidiness . I treat the families homes as if they were mine and there is nothing not nice than chaos. I’m also CPR / first aid certified by the REF CROSS. I’m bilingual and love teaching the kids spanish since that’s my first mother tongue. Also because of the experience of years I have working as a professional nanny I want you to know that I will not o let take care of the kids as if they were my own but also teaching them practical skills in life such as how to be cooperative at home ; care and appreciate their parents and be thankful for what we have. I do not have any type of allergy to animals. The more pets in the household the merrier. Last but not least I offer families who hire me to provide the kids a routine for the day if it is an entire day with activities outdoors physical and intellectual. I’m applying for my Montessori certification so I definitely would love to put in practice the hands on curriculum with the kids at home. Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Hiring Family, I am writing to express my interest in becoming your nanny or babysitter. Caring for children has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my life, and I would be honored to provide your family with dependable, loving, and experienced care. I bring both professional and personal experience working with children of all ages. I have worked as a school paraprofessional, where I supported students with their educational, social, and emotional development. In addition, I spent over 10 years working for a local school district as a school bus driver, school monitor, and study hall monitor. These positions gave me extensive experience ensuring children's safety, supervising groups of students, managing different personalities, and creating a calm, positive environment. They strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to build trusting relationships with children and their families. In addition to my professional background, I am a proud grandmother who has been deeply involved in caring for my grandchildren since birth. Being actively involved in their daily routines has reinforced the importance of providing children with love, consistency, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play. I truly enjoy reading stories, singing songs, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, and creating meaningful activities that help children grow and thrive. Families describe me as dependable, trustworthy, patient, nurturing, and compassionate. I understand that choosing someone to care for your children is one of the most important decisions you can make, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, engaging environment where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to learn and have fun every day. With an Associate's degree, more than a decade of experience working with children in a school setting, and a genuine passion for helping children learn and grow, I believe I would be an excellent addition to your family. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you, learn about your children's unique needs, and discuss how I can provide the loving, reliable care your family deserves. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you. Sincerely, Kathryn Laverdiere
