About Valeria

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi! My name is Valeria, and I'm a fun, caring, and creative Colombian-American caregiver with 5 years of experience working with children in childcare, dance, and daycare settings. With training in CPR/First Aid and a true passion for child development, I see caregiving as both a privilege and a joy. As a teacher and flamenco dancer, I love introducing age-appropriate movement, cultural activities, and plenty of creativity into children's days. Being fluent in Spanish, I also enjoy weaving in language learning through play, giving little ones the gift of early exposure to another culture. Whether it's supporting daily routines, helping with light household tasks, or creating engaging activities, I bring both structure and warmth into every home I'm a part of. Above all, my goal is to nurture a safe, loving, and inspiring environment where children feel supported, happy, and free to grow. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Valeria, or Vale, like my son calls her, has been a one-in-a-million caregiver. She treats our home and our family with respect, is an extremely clear communicator, and gives this single mom much-needed breaks! I never have to worry about my child's safety, and he often begs me to ask Vale if she can come hang out with us for an afternoon. I've always tried to encourage my son to speak Spanish and take an interest in dancing, but he wasn't having it. Guess what Vale got him to try? Yup, he now flexes his Spanish skills with anyone who will humor him. I'm so grateful to Vale and it's a testament to her caring nature that my son feels safe enough to try learning new things with her. I'm a primary caregiver with limited family support, and Vale has been a lifeline. I wish I could hire her more often. She'd be a great asset to any family lucky enough to have her in their lives.
