I'd describe my personality as creative, patient and enthusiastic I like working with kids because they bring creativity, imagination, and joy to every moment. I love encouraging their ideas, exploring through play, and supporting their growth as they discover new things. I am looking for a position where I can communicate openly with parents and do my best for their child's well-being. I spent two years in Colombia taking care of a baby. Later, I worked as an au pair for two years, supporting 3 children with daily activities. I also have 10 months of experience as an English teacher. Additionally, I spent one year caring for a toddler. In my spare time, I like to paint, work in art projects, rollerblading, volleyball, yoga and pilates I love art and I have a side art project where my sister and I paint murals, create art experiences and soon we gonna launch children books. My skills include creativity, communication and patience
Lorena was an exceptional caregiver for my son. She was moreover a good communicator not only with him, but she let us know with time if there was space for improvement. She fostered independence in our toddler from the very beginning, planned activities daily, prepared healthy lunches and snacks, she was patient and most importantly, very reliable. As a multicultural family we also appreciated her investment in keeping speaking Spanish with him. We will miss her dearly!
