About me
I was born and raised in Lima, Peru, as the oldest of three children. Growing up in a large family surrounded by the love and support of my parents and grandparents shaped my values and approach to caregiving. As a child, I developed a passion for traditional Peruvian dance, particularly folkloric styles, and participated in school competitions. I also had a strong interest in history and culture, often exploring Lima’s historic neighborhoods and visiting museums. After high school, my family relocated to the United States, and I became a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 14 and 18. Becoming a parent reinforced my belief in the importance of a reliable, trustworthy support system when raising a family.
In 2008, I began my professional journey as a nanny with the Cimino family, caring for their sons, aged 5 and 14 months. I managed daily routines, including school drop-offs, library visits, and outdoor activities, while fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment. After several years, the position transitioned to part-time and ended in 2014. In 2015, I joined the Steinmetz family as a Family/Executive Assistant, managing after-school schedules, transporting children, and assisting with household duties like grocery shopping and meal prep. This role lasted until 2020. In 2016, I began working with my current family, starting when their son was 4 months old. I’ve supported him through every milestone, including infant care, potty training, and creating a stimulating environment for educational and social development. As he grew, my role expanded to include Family Assistant tasks.
With over 16 years of experience, I believe nannying is one of the most rewarding careers. As a mother, I understand the importance of finding someone dependable to care for your children. I’m passionate about sharing my love of learning and adventure, helping children grow into kind, thoughtful, and generous individuals.
