I'm a responsible, kind, and patient person who enjoys caring for children. With experience as an au pair, I always strive to create a safe, fun, and loving environment. I'm organized and happy to assist with routines, homework, or light housework. Families can trust me to treat their children with the same care and respect I'd give my loved ones. I'm passionate about working with children because they bring joy and curiosity. I love watching them learn and grow. Supporting them and providing a safe, loving environment where they can be themselves makes me happy. I'm looking for a job where I can make a positive difference in children's lives within a respectful and supportive family. I value open communication, safety, and a clear routine. I'd love to work with a family that appreciates kindness and teamwork. I started in Colombia, helping family and working as a swimming instructor, which taught me patience, encouragement, and safety.

Sara was our au pair for two years and took care of our 2 boys (5 and 2 years old) and our newborn baby girl. She’s fluent in both Spanish and English and taught our 2 year old Spanish! Sara always keeps are kids very safe and is very good at communication. She’s very thoughtful and relaxed and is so helpful in getting our 2 year old to relax during a tantrum (she will help us even when she’s not on the clock). She’s also VERY good with little babies and knows exactly what they need. She puts our little one to sleep so easily in her arms and you will truly feel like your kids are loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Sara if safety, great care, and communication are your highest priorities.
