This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I can't think of a time where I haven't been surrounded by children. Born the tenth of 12 in the little town of Giron, Colombia, my love for little children was inevitable. As an adult, I became a mother to my own two daughters, one being born premature, and eventually both thriving and successful in life and careers. Throughout my entire life, I have been a childcare provider, but more consistently in the last 11 years My jobs have ranged from being a full time nanny to children as little as premature newborns, 2 months old to 11 years old as well as an elder care caretaker. My focus as a nanny is always to place the child first. I am very engaged and dedicated to ensuring the child is safe, learning and happy. I believe my life skills, on the job experience, and child care certifications have prepared me for the role of a professional nanny. I've worked both as a live in nanny as well as a live in caretaker for elderly. for Documentation and references are available upon

Mariela has been amazing with my two kids. My son is 2.5 years old and my daughter is 10 months. She goes above and beyond to help me around the house while taking care of both kids. (I don't know how she does it) My husband and I call her superwoman because she's able to multitask and prioritize so well. I guess that comes from over 10 years experience. As a first time mom, I was nervous and anxious about leaving my kids and the transition as been seamless. Both of my kids love her so much and when we travel that she doesn't see them for a week or two my son always ask for her and run towards her when she comes to the house. Even though I'm a stay at home mom, whenever she's available I always ask her to come and help. She makes my days whole lot easier when I'm feeling stressed. If you are looking for someone who is caring, punctual and hardworking look no further. Mariela is truly one of a kind!
