Hi, I'm Diana :) I'm Dutch Mexican and since I was 15 years old I worked as a babysitter during the weekends. I have a 8 years younger sister who I played a big part in caring for her during her childhood. While in high school I lived in Germany for three years and babysat children from newborns through 4 years old. After college I worked on a cruise ship and also had the chance to provide childcare for toddlers during my free time on board. I have been in the USA for seven years now where I've had the opportunity to travel domestically and internationally with families, play the role as a house manager and worked as a FT nanny/tutor and occasional/datenight babysitting. I am a very caring, loving and dynamic person who loves to be around them and teach them how to have fun and learn simultaneously despite of their age and stage in life - reaching their milestones, sharing my values, helping develop good manners, immersing in new languages and simply enjoy the everyday life :) -
Diana has served as our nanny for the past year, and the only reason we are parting ways is because of a move to California. Diana is truly amazing -- she has taken a keen interest in nurturing the development of our two young boys -- planning play dates, field trips, and other social activities. She encouraged their vivid imaginations through play and taught them Spanish. She was responsible for meal prep, the kids' laundry, diaper changes, and even helped us potty train our two year-old. She has also been an invaluable resource in off-hours (nights/weekends), when we needed her and schedules permitted. Diana displays an incredible amount of compassion, patience, and grace, which makes her an excellent caregiver. Our two boys absolutely adore her and often times prefer her company to ours. She is very open with communication and very receptive to parent requests. She is the absolute best and we are heartbroken to leave her behind.
