Caring for children has always come naturally to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I love being a sitter because I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I do everything I can to help both children and parents feel safe, supported, and respected. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or a challenging moment, I aim to bring calm, connection, and patience to every interaction. I was a nanny for over 5 years before transitioning into the healthcare field, where I most recently worked as a health care educator. Through both paths, one thing has always remained true: I love taking care of people. I am currently a full-time student enrolled in online courses and I’ve returned to part-time childcare. I’ve built strong relationships with families and continued with occasionally babysitting over the years. Date nights for parents are Read more still important! I’m CPR certified and experienced with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My background in healthcare and education gives me a unique edge when it comes to attentiveness, safety, and developmental awareness. I bring a warm, grounded energy into the home, and I’m often told I’m the kind of sitter kids feel instantly comfortable around. If you’re looking for someone dependable, emotionally attuned, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I’d love to connect with your family!

As a new and young mother, it is incredibly difficult to manage my workload and childcare. I hired Rocio to watch my toddler during a busy workweek, and man oh man she is an absolute gem! She always shows up on time with a big smile on her face, my little one was so excited to see her every single morning. Her safety awareness was off the charts! She took down important information like allergies, emergency phone numbers/our pediatricians phone number, and she was always quick with updates and pictures throughout the day. But what I loved the absolute most was her ability to be creative, she truly kept my little one engaged - and every mom knows how difficult that can be sometimes haha. On top of all the amazing qualities Rocio brings to the table, I always come home to the place tidied up with my little one resting. There is truly no better feeling than knowing my baby is with someone as phenomenal as Rocio. As reluctant as I am to share her, I know my fellow moms would love her just as much as I do. Thank you again Rocio ?❤️
