Professional Nanny

Overview

Specializing in newborn to 6-year-old care with over 15 years of professional nanny experience. I provide nurturing, developmentally-focused care for infants and young children, with expertise spanning the crucial early years from birth through early elementary. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, supporting early language development and effective communication with diverse families. I hold current Infant and Child CPR and Emergency Care certifications, maintain a valid Virginia driver's license, and keep all standard vaccinations up to date.


My approach centers on building genuine, long-term relationships where I become a trusted part of the household. Families often call me "Nina"—a testament to the deep bonds I form with each child. I provide comprehensive care including daily routines, enrichment activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to childcare, and flexible support for weekends or date nights.
