About me

I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. I have an older sister who I'm very close to.
     I am a single parent who had to leave Manila 15 years ago. I had to look for other opportunities to provide a better future for my son. I missed being with my son. I wanted to be surrounded by children so it would somewhat ease the pain of being away from my son and that is what led me to become a nanny. By taking this path, I was able to nurture, guide, teach, and care for other children like they were my own. To teach babies and help them reach their milestones is so satisfying. I have been a nanny for 15 years and I'm thankful that I've never had any incidents or accidents during my tenure. My top priority is always the child! As early as 4 months old, I start teaching the baby and parents baby sign language. The longest and first family I worked with was 6 years (Full-time Nanny/Light Housekeeping). I started when he was 2 months old and ended when he was 6-years-old. The second family I worked with for 2 years (Full-time Nanny/Light Housekeeping). The baby was 3- months old till age 2. The third family was first-time parents(Full-time Nanny/Light Housekeeping). I started when their daughter was 3 months old. After 3 years they had another baby boy. I ended when their daughter was 4.5 years old and their son was 1 and a half. With all of the families I worked for, I go the extra mile. I always make sure to check diapers frequently to avoid rashes, I make sure the breast milk is warm and I help with transitioning to formula. I puree foods when the child starts eating solids. I manage the personal hygiene of the children and teach them how to reach milestones by reading books, singing & dancing with them.  We play educational activities, and creative games, read books, and attend classes & activities. I'm also experienced doing drop off and pick up to/from school and with bringing kids to extracurricular activities. I send pictures to the parents and give them updates through text messages. I  comfort children when they're sad if their parents leave for work. I compliment them if they do something good and celebrate when they reach achievements.
