I am originally from Peru and have over 30 years of experience caring for children. I have a friendly and pleasant demeanor and enjoy working with others. As a nanny, I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborn to preteens. I have worked for a total of five families. All which can provide references regarding my expertise in caring for young children. I am also able to assist with household chores that are independent from the care of the children. Some of the most important characteristics I posses include friendliness, patience, and creativity. These characteristics allow me to engage and motivate children to meet milestones or accomplish tasks. Taking care of young children, especially babies, is rewarding but sometimes challenging. Over the years, I have developed special techniques that prove useful in calming babies, including the most restless ones. I can adapt into the schedule of any Read more family. I understand the need of a structured day as it gives children a predictable schedule to follow. Every child is unique and over the years I have learned to be flexible with families.
