About me

Hello! I am Aura, and I’m from Colombia. I'm a former Au Pair, and a caring, active, patient, and creative nanny with experience caring for infants, toddlers and children of different ages. I love to swim, travel, learn about new cultures, and read books that contribute to my personal growth. I have a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and have a master's in Digital Marketing, however, it's my passion to now work as a nanny.

I’m fully vaccinated against Covid-19, and First Aid/CPR - AED certified.

My first job as a nanny was when I was an au pair in 2016. I lived with the family and was in charge of a 3-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. My responsibilities included taking them to school, helping them with homework, doing laundry, preparing their meals, and planning outdoor and indoor activities. Within my role with the permission of the parents, I taught them Spanish, and so far all the children I have taken care of understand and speak Spanish. I stayed with this family until 2019.

I started with my next family in Jan 2021, I was in charge of a 6-month-old baby. My responsibilities included changing diapers, feeding the baby, helping him in the transition to solids, and doing laundry. I was by his side in his first steps, they moved to another state so started my journey to look for a new family. Later, I found another family with a 4-year-old child and I worked with them for 1 year. The child was already going to school so they decided they no longer needed a FT nanny, but I'm still doing some date nights occasionally for them.

My last experience began in Dec 2022 - present, the baby girl was 4-month-old and her brother was 2 years old. Among my responsibilities are potty training, transition to solids, sensory activities, learning to walk, teaching them Spanish, washing their clothes, preparing food, arts and crafts, and planning outdoor activities for them. Now the little boy is going to school and she soon will go as well, so I’m looking for my new family to join long term.
 
What I find most important about working with children, is connecting with them and validating their emotions. Communication and connecting with the family is my priority, and I'd love to meet yours and see if we're a good fit!
