I've been a childcare provider for over two decades, driven by my passion for nurturing children's growth and development. My friendly and patient nature allows me to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe to explore their creativity and imagination. I believe open communication is key; parents receive daily written reports, and I'm available for verbal communication at pickup or via text or phone call. I follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules and focus on educational games that promote learning. With my background, I'm comfortable caring for up to three children, from infants to preteens. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, and I have a car. If you're looking for an experienced, caring, and reliable childcare provider, I would love to be a part of your family.

When I asked my now young-adult kids about their memories of being with Zulma, they said, “I remember how patient she was with me,” “Love,” and “She made the best lentil soup!” Zulma was such a gift to our family. We started working with her when my son was 18 months old and my daughter was 4 1/2. As a working mom, it was important to me to collaborate with a caregiver who could truly help nourish my children in all ways when I was away. Zulma was a true partner and an amazing nanny. First and most importantly, she quickly bonded with the kids, and they loved her. Her attentive approach kept them active and engaged. She took them to activities, prepared healthy lunches and snacks, and created a warm, loving environment at home. Zulma's creativity shined through in the various fun and educational activities she organized, from arts and crafts projects to outdoor adventures. I always appreciated Zulma’s communicative style; we truly were a partnership that enhanced our family in every way. She was reliable, punctual, and flexible. Her proactive nature meant she often anticipated what the kids or the household needed before we even asked. In addition to her caregiving skills, Zulma’s understanding of child development was evident in how she nurtured our children’s emotional and social growth. She encouraged good manners, problem-solving skills, and independence, all while ensuring they felt safe and supported. Her dedication to their well-being extended beyond just physical care. She was always ready to lend a listening ear, offering comfort and guidance as they navigated their early years. Zulma also respected our family's values and parenting style, ensuring consistency and stability for our children. We worked with Zulma for four years, until my youngest was in school full time. Her presence in our lives was invaluable. Her love, patience, and professionalism made a significant and lasting impact on our family. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dependable nanny.
