I am a caring, responsible, and bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with nearly 20 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to school-age. My background combines both professional and personal experience — as a babysitter, nanny, Au Pair, and proud mom of two wonderful boys (now 8 and 9). I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s degree, which, while not directly related to childcare, reflect my commitment, discipline, and professionalism. Families can count on me to be reliable, organized, and attentive in every detail of their child’s care. My childcare journey started early. When my youngest brother was born, I gained hands-on experience as a teenager. In 2007, I became an Au Pair in Falls Church, VA, caring full-time for a 5-year-old girl and later a newborn baby boy. Since then, I’ve continued to provide childcare for many families, from infants as young as Read more a few months old to energetic preschoolers and elementary-age children. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and nurturing a child’s growth at every stage. I enjoy creating a warm environment with activities like reading stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, board games, and simple educational activities that encourage creativity and development. I also love preparing healthy meals and snacks that children enjoy. I am CPR and First Aid certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Families describe me as reliable, nurturing, and fully engaged with their children. I always keep open communication with parents so they feel confident and supported. My availability is Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. I am seeking a family who values a loving, professional caregiver to support their child’s daily routine, growth, and happiness.
