Hi. My name is Manuela and I'm currently based in Auburn. I'm a former Au Pair from Colombia with experience caring for children ages 3 to 14. I'm also currently working with a 13-month-old on Tuesdays, so I'm now gaining hands-on experience with younger children as well and I'm truly enjoying it! I'm available to start right away and looking for a long-term position for the rest of the week days. I'm a fast learner and always willing to adapt to each family's needs and routines. Fully vaccinated CPR and first aid certified Non-smoker Bilingual (Spanish/English) WA drivers license and own car A little about me: I'm originally an English teacher so I naturally enjoy helping with learning, homework, and creative play. I bring warmth, patience, and positive energy into every home I work with. I love taking kids to outdoor play, crafts, and making everyday routines fun. I also love pets so I'm comfortable around them. (Rate starts at $25/h) Looking forward to hearing from you!
We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Manuela to care for our 14-month-old daughter while I work from home. From day one, she has brought such warmth, joy, and reliability into our home. She is always on time, dependable, and completely trustworthy—qualities that give me so much peace of mind while I’m working. What stands out most about Manuela is the way she interacts with our daughter. She doesn’t just “watch” her—she engages with her fully. Their days together are filled with play, laughter, songs, and stories. She patiently encourages language development by talking, reading, and singing, and I’ve already noticed how much more our daughter is babbling, repeating words, and expressing herself. It’s been so beautiful to watch that growth. Manuela also makes mealtime and snacks a positive experience. She helps encourage independence while still being attentive, making sure our daughter eats well and feels cared for. She takes her on daily walks, turning them into mini-adventures, pointing out birds, flowers, and all the little things that spark curiosity at this age. Beyond her loving care, Manuela is someone who truly listens. She takes feedback gracefully and always makes adjustments with kindness and professionalism, which shows how much she values working as a team with us. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely adores her—her face lights up every time Manuela walks through the door. That bond speaks volumes. Manuela has created a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for our little one, and we couldn’t ask for a better caregiver. She has truly become a special part of our family, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and loving sitter.
