Shelby has been a great fit for our family! She is so great with my boys and has a great personality for connecting with them. She is always punctual, has a great attitude, and is someone you can count on. I appreciate her flexibility and ability to help out even at short notice. I can't recommend her enough and am so glad I found her!

Hello! My name is Yensy Alvarado, and I'm 31 years old from Venezuela. I am a graduate of a nursing program and have taken first aid courses. I love taking care of kids and have strong experience in childcare and can provide references. I am currently a full-time nanny for a 6-month old boy , and am looking for a new position. With the kids, I love to play, read books, come up with activities, prepare meals, clean up after them, and more! I also speak Spanish and the 20-month old I watch who didn't know any Spanish before now fully understands and speaks Spanish with me too! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! I started working with kids at a young age, special needs at that, & from there I’ve grown to love working with them & seeing them grow up, improve on their skills, etc. After I graduated high school I worked at elementary school for almost about 3 years & it was the best time I had. I worked in a contained classroom with children with disabilities but also with gen ed. As I’ve said before, it is an overall great feeling to get to meet new kids & learn of their amazing personalities!

I’ve been caring for kids since I was young, starting as the neighborhood babysitter and growing up as the oldest of three girls. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love! Professionally, I’m a Physician Assistant in Rheumatology. While earning my master’s degree and studying for my board exams, I worked as a babysitter, substitute teacher, tutor, and in both infant and preschool classrooms at a daycare. I love helping kids explore their creativity through crafts, games, and imaginative play. One of my favorite things is watching them discover new interests and share their passions. I’m also very comfortable with pets, I have a dog and three cats of my own! A few fun facts about me: I was a competitive Irish dancer, managed sport club programs during undergrad, love the TV show Survivor, and enjoy strategy board games. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can have fun, learn, and feel supported. Nights with babysitters were always fun special occasions for me as a child and I hope to create the same lasting memories for your children.
