About Lina
Experience: 8 yrs
My Name is Lina and I am 38 years old. I moved from Colombia to the USA 11 years ago. I obtained my BA in Early Childhood Education specializing in Spanish. Upon completing my degree, I worked for 5 years in Colombia, in primary and secondary school, K-8. I have babysat for the past 7 years and love the one-on-one interaction. I have accumulated a great deal of experience with toddlers and elementary-aged children, which I've really enjoyed. I am very punctual, and respectful, and I have a lot of experience with different family situations. Spanish is my first language and I enjoy teaching it to the kids I take care of. I need to make a difference in their lives by helping them learn a second language. I have worked and lived with 2 American families, their kids were 2, 4, and 6 years old, one year in Washington DC and the other in NY during 2015 I cared for newborns until December. I'd love to talk further with you about the position and answer any questions you have for me. Thanks

I can enthusiastically recommend Lina to any family that consider her services. Our selection process was pretty extensive. Certainly, entrusting one's child can be unsettling to parents. Our experience with Lina alleviated those fears immediately. Lina has been taking care of our now 15 month old daughter, two/three full days per week, for the last 8 months. She is remarkably dependable. By remarkable, I mean she has not been absent, or even late ever. Further, when she has plans, she not only let's us know well in advance, she also made arrangements for her replacement while she is away. We now are familiar with a backup caregiver for our child. We have also asked that Lina only speak Spanish from the moment she enters the house until she leaves so our daughter is comfortable with another language at a young age. Our expectation is to work together with Lina to provide the best care for our young daughter. Lawrence H.
