I love caring for children because it makes a difference in the lives of everyone involved. I give the family peace of mind through the bridge between parents and children. Forming a bond with the children and being a part of their development means watching them grow, teaching them new things, and celebrating each milestone. I experience various things, including different families, cultures, and venues. I enjoy learning discoveries, creativity, and activities to keep the children engaged. I enjoy the flexibility in schedules because I too have a family to attend and work full-time in the medical field for Houston Methodist Hospital and Saturday's I am a full-time nanny of two young children. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am available Sundays all day/night, some weekday nights on occasion. During my services, my daughter who is 6 years old comes along with me and is a great Read more asset to the team! If this works for you, I look forward in hearing back from you! I also do dog/cat boarding, so I am very comfortable with pets if applicable.

I have trusted America with my child care needs for the last 3 years. My husband and I unfortunately do not have family around to help with childcare, so we have always heavily relied on her. Her reliability is exceptional, she provides the overall care they are known for “Five Star!” I have and will continue to highly recommend her and her daughter Briseis to anyone looking for childcare services. We couldn’t have done it without you both!

We are extremely pleased with America and her daughter Briseis's performance. They are consistently reliable, always punctual, and demonstrate a genuine love for our children. They have a natural knack for creating a fun and engaging environment, and our children look forward to their arrival each day. America is also incredibly patient and understanding, even when faced with challenging situations. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated and loving nanny. ❤️

We are so grateful to have America and her daughter Briseis as part of our family. She has been a reliable and consistent caregiver for our children for the past year. She always arrives on time and is very patient and nurturing with our kids. She is also very good at organizing their schedule and keeping things tidy. For example, she's been instrumental in improving their literacy skills in Spanish and English through engaging reading activities. Her daughter Briseis 6 years old, makes a valuable asset to the team because she brings a smooth transition from parents to nanny for the children to ease into and adapt to change. We are so happy with their performance and highly recommend them!

We were a bit nervous since it had been so long since we had used a sitter because of the pandemic. But the kids are still talking about her. We will definitely use you again! America and her daughter were amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our children in her care! She was prompt, flexible, knowledgeable, and very caring with our kids! We look forward to using your service again the next time at visit! Many thanks!

America is a fantastic nanny for both my girls for almost 15 months. She is responsible, caring, honest, communicative and on-time throughout her employment with me. She is also open minded in receiving feedback and guidance on how I would like my baby to be cared for, yet still offering her advice based on her experience when watching the development of my baby. And her daughter is a sweetheart, loving, obedient and caring!
