About Carla

Experience: 5 yrs

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion! My previous babysitting roles inspired me to make a positive impact on young lives and support families by providing reliable childcare. With three years of experience caring for children aged 0-11, especially toddlers, I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I communicate with parents through written daily reports, verbal updates at pickup, and text messages. I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I love playing outdoor sports and physical games with children. Im comfortable with pets, and speak Spanish. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a safe and fun environment for your little ones!

I am delighted to offer my highest recommendation for Carla, who has been an exceptional nanny for our family since January 2024. She began caring for our son, 2.5, when he was just six months old, and from the very start demonstrated an extraordinary level of warmth, professionalism, competence and dedication. Carla spent each day thoughtfully engaging our son in activities that supported his development, including trips to the library, playdates, and outings that encouraged curiosity and social growth. She maintained a consistent, nurturing routine that helped him thrive during such an important stage of his life including a diversity of activities including play dates, and playground, library and museum visits. Carla’s commitment to safety has always been unwavering. During the challenging phase when he was learning to walk, she remained vigilant and active, ensuring he was always protected while still allowing him the freedom to explore and grow. In addition to caring for our son, Carla was responsible for picking up our daughter, 5.5, from preschool and later kindergarten each day. She was never once late, demonstrating a level of reliability that gave us complete peace of mind. Carla also maintained open communicating with us as parents. She consistently kept us informed about the children’s daily activities, milestones, and any concerns, and was always responsive, thoughtful, and proactive in her updates. This open and reliable communication made it easy to trust her fully and feel confident that our children were in the best possible care. Beyond her childcare responsibilities, Carla went above and beyond in every aspect of her role. She prepared healthy meals for the children, kept their clothes clean and laundry organized, and maintained a consistently tidy home environment. She was always fully present—never distracted, never on her phone—and approached each day with professionalism and care. Carla was also flexible and accommodating, always willing to stay late or adjust her schedule when needed. Carla is an incredibly dependable, experienced, and nurturing caregiver. Any family or caregiving agency would be extremely fortunate to have her, and we are deeply grateful for the positive impact she has had on our children’s lives.
