About Raquel

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi! My name is Raquel, I'm 21 years old, and I have over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Since I was very young, I've helped care for siblings, cousins, and children in my neighborhood, and I've also worked as a nanny for different families. I was also a volunteer at a shelter where I cared for more than 12 children at the same time. I'm passionate about teaching and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I've taught ballet, other dance styles, and swimming lessons, since I'm a strong swimmer and have experience helping children learn to swim safely and confidently. I'm calm, patient, responsible, and very adaptable to each child's personality and needs. I'm also a very good driver with over four years of driving experience, although I do not currently have my own car. I truly love helping children learn, grow, and feel happy and cared for.

Raquel was our weekend nanny for our 2-year-old son, and she was absolutely amazing. She was always responsible, punctual, caring, and incredibly attentive with him. She loved planning outdoor activities and even started gently teaching him how to swim little by little, which was such a wonderful experience to watch. What impressed me most was how naturally she turned playtime into learning moments. She always came up with fun and educational activities that helped him with speech development, coordination, movement, and confidence. She truly enjoyed interacting with him, playing, teaching, and encouraging his growth every day. I always felt completely comfortable leaving my son with Raquel because I trusted her completely. I knew that no matter what happened, she would handle everything calmly, responsibly, and with so much care. She was extremely attentive and loving, and any family would be lucky to have her.
