About Manuela
Experience: 10 yrs
I have worked with 2-month-old infant to toddlers and multiple babies (6-month-old triple infants), sometimes just one baby and others taking care of two or three children at the same time. I play with them, feed them, bathe them, change their diapers, sterilize their bottles, do developmental steps with infants like crawl, clap hands, walk, rock them when crying, sing, play peek-a-boo, blow bubbles, play hide and seek, as well as stimulation activities like reading, arts and crafts, basic of counting, ABC's, shapes, colors, painting, coloring; trips to the park, and so on. I love to take them to the park to stimulate their motor and social skills. I love to interact with children. They are always happy, and willing to learn new stuff. They have such a good positive energy and vibe. They teach you to see life in a different way.

We literally struck nanny GOLD when we found Manuela to care for my son when he was 4 months old. My son is now 19 months and he absolutely adores her (and so do we!). Unfortunately, we are moving up to the Bay area. Wish we could take her with us!! For the next lucky family that entrusts her with their child or children, here is who Manuela is: She is enthusiastic about her job. She genuinely loves what she does and it shows - she is constantly engaging my son in fun and imaginative ways to foster his development. She also has a very nurturing/gentle spirit and is patient despite my son's temperament (not an easy baby/toddler). She is also very reliable - always punctual and has never missed a single day of work. Finally, she has always prioritized safety in the home, in parks, and in general. I fully trust her to take my son anywhere with her. So blessed to have found her. We will definitely miss her!!
