I'd describe myself as a warm, patient, and nurturing person who truly enjoys caring for babies and helping them grow in a safe, loving environment. I'm attentive to every detail - from feeding and naps to tummy time and sensory play - and I love creating calm, joyful routines that support early development. I cared for a baby in Colombia for two years, then worked as an au pair for two years with three children, supporting their daily routines, playtime, and learning. I also have experience as an English teacher and caring for a toddler, which helped me understand different stages of child development. Outside of work, I enjoy painting, yoga, and rollerblading. I also co-founded Dos Brochas, a creative project focused on art and imagination for children. I'm looking for a family who values communication and kindness - where I can give my best every day to support their baby's growth and happiness.
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!
