Hello everyone, My name is Valentina, and I am originally from Colombia. I am bilingual and speak both Spanish and English. I have four years of experience working with children and families. My first year was spent working as a psychologist in a hospital, where I supported children and adolescents and gained valuable knowledge about child development, emotional well-being, and family support. During the following years, I came to the United States as an Au Pair and had the privilege of caring for children in American families. This experience allowed me to learn about American culture, strengthen my English skills, and develop meaningful relationships with the children and families I worked with. I am currently continuing my education in the healthcare field and remain passionate about child development. I believe that play is one of the most important ways children learn, communicate, and express their emotions. Through play, I enjoy helping children develop their language skills, creativity, confidence, and social-emotional growth. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and support your children’s growth and development. Thank you for your time and consideration. Valentina

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to highly recommend Valentina Neira Tamara, who served as an au pair for our family from July 2023 to April 2026. During this period, Valentina has been an invaluable part of our household, providing exceptional care for our children and supporting our family in numerous ways. Valentina has been responsible for the daily care of our 3 boys (Vincent-10, Anthony-7 and Joseph-3). Her duties included preparing meals, organizing educational and recreational activities, driving them to/from school, sports, religion school, putting the baby down for naps, assisting with homework, and ensuring the children’s overall well-being. She has always approached her responsibilities with the utmost professionalism, attentiveness, and passion. One of the most notable qualities of Valentina is her genuine affection and concern for our children. She has a natural ability to connect with them, creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Our children have thrived under her care, and they have developed a strong bond with her and love her dearly. She is patient, kind, and consistently maintains a positive attitude. In addition to her childcare responsibilities, Valentina has also assisted with light household chores, including laundry, tidying up the children’s play areas, and meal prep (including cleaning and putting away dishes). Her willingness to go above and beyond has been greatly appreciated. Valentina is highly reliable and trustworthy. She has always been punctual, and we have never had any concerns about her judgment or integrity. She has demonstrated excellent communication skills, both with the children and with us as parents, keeping us informed of any issues or concerns and working collaboratively to address them. She consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic. In summary, Valentina has been an outstanding au pair and nanny, and we feel very fortunate to have had her as part of our family. Her dedication, warmth, and professional demeanor make her an excellent candidate for any childcare position. We are confident that she will be a tremendous asset to any family she works with in the future.

Hi everyone! My name is Gianna, I am 22 years old, and I am looking to babysit on random days as-needed. I recently got a job at a hospital near me as a registered nurse with a September 11 start date. Therefore, I am not looking to have a set schedule, but instead help out on random days to extra cash and to make your little ones happy! I am CPR certified, own my own vehicle, have a clean driving record, and I do not smoke. Feel free to message me with any questions!

Hi and welcome!! My name is Mia and I am graduate of American University with a BS in Public Health. I not only love, but have ample experience in working with children from various age groups. Most of my experience lies with toddlers as a nanny for high profile clientele, and during my time at Woodlin Child Development Center as a child care aide. Additionally, I've also tutored elementary/middle school age children as a fellow with Teach for America for several years. I am also comfortable with driving, with pets and food and tailored lesson plan preparation if need be. For a long time, I have wanted to pursue pediatrics so I have a great interest and passion for working with children and truly love every experience I get when it comes to educating and spending time with young ones. As for my availability at the moment, I am currently very flexible as I prepare to return to school. Please do reach out if you feel we are a fit! My best contact email is afomiafelleke@gmail.com or text/call at 301-793-7133.

Hi, dear parents! My name is Tabatha (Tabi). I am 28 years old and I live in New Windsor, NY. I have a huge passion for kids and I have had the opportunity to work with them for the last nine years of my life. I have child care experience with kids of ages 0-10 yrs/o in different settings, including in-home child care and daycare centers. I worked as an English teacher in a daycare center and shortly after, I decided to become an Au Pair. Throughout that journey, I was part of a wonderful family and I was in charge of three kids (ages 1, 5 & 7). I worked with them for two years, and they became like a second family to me. I love them as my own little siblings :) Growing up, I was always the first one to volunteer to take care of my little cousins and my little brother, nothing made me happier than spending the day with them! On my free time, I would also watch my neighbor’s 3 year old son and some of my sister’s friends’ kids. My sister is an Initial Educator and she has thought so much about it; we both share this love for putting a smile on little ones’ faces by learning about the most effective ways we could apply in order to achieve that. Babysitting brings me so much joy. I love playing with kids, watching them grow and being a positive figure in their life while they learn and develop their awesome personalities. I love engaging and putting my 100% on everything I do. I take my job seriously and I can assure you that your kids will be in very responsible, loving, and experienced hands. I am an energetic, happy, playful, hardworking, patient and responsible girl. My main goal in your home would be providing excellent care to your kids, while learning as much as possible and having fun all day. I’m bilingual: Spanish and English. I’d be happy to teach the kids some Spanish, if you guys would like me to :) I am happy to provide references. My availibility starts on January 1st (flexible). I’m excited to hear back from you! Please feel free to reach out to me :) Thanks, Tabi :)
