About Valeria
Experience: 8 yrs
As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing children's growth and development. Throughout my eight years of experience, I've had the privilege of positively impacting the lives of many children. My patient and calm nature, coupled with my creative and imaginative approach, allows me to connect with children on a meaningful level. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, ensuring that they are regularly updated on their child's day. I am comfortable enforcing household rules as guided by the parents, and I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. My educational background includes a college degree, as well as coursework in early child development. I am also a certified teacher, and I have received training in CPR and First Aid. Apart from my professional qualifications, I have a car, I'm comfortable with pets, and I'm willing to assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.

Valeria is amazing. We hired her as a nanny for our 3- and 5-year old children and so glad we did. She is confident, proactive, and professional - she set up curriculum and schedule for the children and is highly organized with a Montessori classroom background, and this comes through in her approach with children. She's gracious and calm but also playful - and my kids love her. I've learned a lot from just watching how she interacts with the kids - she is patient, will explain things, will set boundaries, and can de-escalate tantrums like nobody else. She's punctual, organized, communicative and asks for feedback. Our kids are starting school, otherwise I would absolutely want to keep working with her. Highly, highly recommend.
