About Idalis

Experience: 4 yrs

Nurturing children and witnessing their milestones brings me immense joy. In previous years, I've dedicated myself to providing attentive and engaging childcare for over four years. I have some college education, with coursework in Early Child Development. My approach is patient, calm, and creative, always striving to make learning fun through educational games, board games, and active outdoor play. I am comfortable caring for a couple children at a time, having had experience as a daycare teacher. I'm happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision, as well as support your family's needs. I am certified in First Aid and CPR Training (may require updating). Communication is key, and I will provide regular updates through written reports or your preferred method. I will always follow your lead in enforcing household rules. I'm eager to connect with a family where I can share my passion for childcare and create a positive impact.

I have had the pleasure of working with Idalis, and I can confidently say she is truly exceptional. With years of experience, including a background in daycare settings, she brings a calm and confident presence that children naturally gravitate toward. Her ability to manage multiple children at once, while maintaining a loving and structured environment, is very impressive. She is kind, caring, and nurturing—but also knows how to set healthy boundaries and routines. She’s dependable, punctual, and communicates clearly and professionally. Her attention to cleanliness and detail is always appreciated, and she treats your home with the same respect she gives to your children. We feel very fortunate to have had her as part of our family’s routine and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving caregiver.
