Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there! I'm Mercedes :) I'm a reliable, patient caregiver with nearly 15 years of experience. I'm 30 years old and a proud mom of two amazing daughters (7 and 9). Growing up with six younger siblings, caring for kids has always come naturally to me. In 2013, I worked as a teacher's assistant at a preschool for children with autism, which taught me how to support different needs and learning styles. I later nannied one-on-one for a child from that program, gaining even more hands-on experience. I've cared for children of all ages, from newborns to preteens, and I truly love this work. I hold both an AA and a BA in Psychology, and after taking time to finish my degrees, I'm excited to get back into nannying/babysitting! Quick note: There may be times when my daughters are with me. They're kind, well-mannered, and great with other kids. I always communicate ahead of time so you feel informed and comfortable. I'd love to connect and see if I'd be a great fit for your family!
Mercedes was great with my kiddos. Super sweet, easy to talk to, and you can tell she genuinely loves being around little ones. My kids warmed up to her right away. She kept me updated and made everything feel very stress free. I’d definitely have her back!
