I am a 23-year-old living in Durham with a passion for working with children. I’m patient, love building meaningful connections with kids, and enjoy supporting their learning and growth. As a Spanish speaker, I’ve helped children develop their Spanish language skills. I have five years of paid babysitting experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. My experience ranges from being a full-time nanny to an occasional date night sitter, so I’m happy to support families in whatever capacity they need. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and always strive to create a warm, engaging environment.
