Hello my name is Dina. I am a Nanny with 16+years of experience caring for children ranging from newborn to middle school . I am trustworthy, responsible, family-oriented and most importantly I love my job. I have worked with newborns, toddlers, preschoolers and school age children handling all aspects of their care from time at home to outings, classes, activities and homework. I have built wonderful relationships with the children and families I work with. I also have preschool teaching experience. I am bilingual, fluent in English and Spanish. 
About Me: 
I enjoy spending time with my family. I love cooking and hosting. I enjoy being active and going on walks. 
Thank you for your interest!

Dina is truly wonderful and we highly recommend her.  She has been a part of our family for almost six years and also came highly recommended from her last three long-term employers.  She has been a stable, caring, and loving presence in our son’s life and he has blossomed under her care from infancy to six years old.  She took him to music classes, swimming classes and also suggested many activities as he had grown.  She is a treasured member of our family and we are very grateful to have her in our and our son’s lives.

We love Dina and tried to hire her but another family hired her before we could- and now we have another nanny (who Dina actually recommended).

We have since hired her for babysitting and she stands out for a few reasons:
-really, really good with more than one child (keeps them both happy, prioritizes appropriately)
-loves infants and is wonderfully engaged with them
-clear communicator
-energetic and kind
-a thoughtful and eager mom to children herself

Finally: another mom saw Dina with my kids at the park and sent me a text that said, "wow, your babysitter is amazing!"

What a great message to receive!


Dina is a wonderful friend to our family and weekly caregiver to our youngest daughter who is 18 months old.  She is engaged, dependable and most of all loving.  Dina also cares for our two older children from time to time and they love spending time with her as well.  We are very grateful to know Dina and we never worry about our kids when they are in her care which is priceless! 

Dina was our lovely nanny for over three years and is part of our family!  She was always so loving and wonderful with our two young kids.  Dina speaks both English and Spanish natively, with no accent at all, which is awesome.  She speaks to our kids in Spanish and reads to them in both languages.  She takes the kids to activities in her car and is an excellent driver.

Her demeanor is warm and even but she is also energetic, always suggesting activities for the kids.  She is a great communicator with adults.  My husband and I are able to work with her as a team.  Dina is always pleasant to be around.  Any family would be lucky to have her!

Dina was our nanny for 4+ years for our 2 children (newborn -->4, newborn-->3) when we lived on the peninsula. She was fantastic nanny. She was dependable, trustworthy, kind, loving, resourceful and creative. She is super engaging with children and helpful around the house. She found all kinds of great activities for our kids at parks, libraries, music classes, and such. Our kids love Dina and we still see her when we can. I would highly recommend Dina. 

I have known Dina for over 10 years. Dina was the youth director when we first met and she was always very nurturing and thoughtful as she executed her duties. Dina pays attention to details and a special way of bringing out your talents because of it.  

I've had Dina in my outdoor nature classes for years, with two different families, and I'm always impressed with how wonderful she is managing her little ones in the outdoor environment. She is calm, loving, helpful and professional always. The kids love her and she has an amazing way of caring for them in a kind and clear manner. I really enjoy having her in my classes!

I've known Dina for about twenty years. I met Dina when I was a teenager and she has been my mentor ever since. I first began to work under Dina when she was one of the Directors of the youth department for my local church. As a Director, Dina would organize an array of events & executed every detail to ensure that everything was successful. Whether it was a car wash to raise funds for our annual youth camp or a social gathering, Dina went above and beyond to make sure that everyone completed the task they were assigned and that every youth member felt valued and appreciated. Currently, I am working under Dina as a Sunday School Teacher for my church's kids department and Dina is the Director. Dina has, again, done an excellent job of organizing our team. Dina ensures that all staff is equipped and successful in teaching the kids in a way that is dynamic and enjoyable. Dina is extremely friendly and hard working. It's a privilege to know Dina and a pleasure to work with her.

My kids adore Dina! They look forward to the fun games and lessons she has prepared for them every Sunday. 

Dina was my mentor when I was a youth. She genuinely gave me her best advice whenever I needed help. Not only was she my mentor but she counseled our whole youth group at church. She planned activities and parties for us to interact and be more social with each other. Now, as an adult she is my Director, I work under her as a Sunday school teacher. Dina sets the curriculum we will teach for a year, she organizes children's activities like bake sales and food sales to cover some costs for our church's children's ministry. She exhibits enthusiasm in what she does and I enjoy being around her patient and positive attitude.

Dina worked for us shortly after my second daughter was born, and help to take care of her plus my then 4-year old for 2-3 years.  She then would babysit on occasion, and we've stayed in touch through the years.

Dina is caring and loving, responsible, and great with kids.  She did some driving, grocery shopping, meal prep, and help around the house.  She, herself, is a great mom who has raised three wonderful boys. 

I recommend Dina without any hesitation!

I've had the honor of knowing Dina for the past 17 years and she is absolutely a remarkable person. During her position as a Youth Director, she led, counseled and mentored me alongside many others. Her ability to manage projects, coordinate activities, and personally connect with individuals is admirable. She is very detailed orientated, authentic, fun, professional, and very responsible. Her executive functioning skills are of the upmost reputation and this is only the beginning of all her strengths. Her interpersonal skills are excellent and exuded with every interaction she has with others.  She truly has a special gift for connecting with children/youth and anybody that has the privilege to work with her is very fortunate! 

I am the Pastors wife at City Light Church and she has been our children's director for the past 3 years. She is great with children of all ages and enjoys working with the children. You can see that she has a genuine care and concern for our children.
