About Perla

Experience: 10 yrs

I've been a childcare provider for 15 years, driven by my passion for nurturing children's growth and making a positive impact on their lives. I'm patient and calm, as well as creative and imaginative, making me a fun and engaging caregiver. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules, ensuring a safe and structured environment for the children in my care. I believe in clear and open communication with parents and provide regular updates about their child's day, either verbally at pickup or via text or phone call, depending on their preference. My experience ranges from infants up to 11-year-olds, with a preference for caring for one child at a time. I have a college degree and am certified in both CPR and First Aid. In my free time, I enjoy playing outdoor sports and physical games with children, as well as board games and puzzles. I also like to incorporate educational games that promote learning into playtime.

Perla was the most unbelievable nanny — truly a gift to our family. She was the first caregiver we ever invited into our home outside of ourselves and our parents, and she joined us during an especially stressful time as we were moving cross-country. From day one, she showed us tremendous love, patience, and compassion, and made us feel completely at ease knowing our son was so loved and cared for in her hands. Perla is a confident and capable caregiver who also deeply respects each family’s unique approach. She was well-versed in age-appropriate play, developmental learning, and all things food-related (we were doing baby-led weaning at the time), and she easily adapted to our no-screen philosophy and nap routines. Simply watching her interact with our son taught us so much that we still carry with us today. And our son absolutely adored her! Thanks to Perla’s care, we were able to get everything we needed done during those few weeks — and we only wish we’d met her sooner or stayed longer so she could have remained with our family. Perla will always hold a special place in our hearts. She set the gold standard for what a caregiver can be, and any family lucky enough to have her has truly hit the jackpot.
