About Zulma

Experience: 5 yrs

Experienced Nanny | Relationship-Based Care | Spanish Immersion Hi! I'm a nanny and mother of three. My approach is warm, responsive, and relationship-based. I believe young children learn through connection, play, curiosity, and feeling safe. I follow each child's interests and use everyday life, nature, walks, books, music, meals, and routines, as opportunities to explore. I value open-ended play, outdoor time, healthy rhythms, and gentle transitions between activity and rest. I have university-level studies in Psychology and specialized training in transpersonal development, somatic approaches, emotional education, and nervous-system regulation. Spanish is my first language, and I offer natural Spanish immersion. I value close communication with parents and support around routines, sleep, feeding, and emotional regulation. I currently work full-time in a nanny share. One family is relocating, so I'm looking for another family to join our share. References available.

I am beyond grateful that Zulma has become such a huge part of our lives. When I first began my search for a nanny for our 6 month old, I was pretty paralyzed. I had had poor experiences with nannies as a child, and was really worried about the process. I knew from our first hours with Zulma that she was a perfect fit for my daughter and our family. She quickly made a point to understand our values, needs, and wants for our daughter. She also got to know Ruby quickly, and Ruby warmed to her faster than she has with anyone else. Zulma's communication style is open and caring, and she is incredibly patient and observant. She has such a deep well of knowledge to pull from, and not only supports our daughter's health, happiness, and growth, but was also able to coach me through some really tough moments as a first time mom. It is clear that this is a passion of hers - she has studied child psychology and we chat on it a ton! My daughter is sensitive, and has been since she was born. Zulma has lent us books on the subject, and brings this knowledge to her to day to day work with Ruby. Zulma is also incredibly flexible, and has helped us out in a pinch many many times. I don't know how we got so lucky - I don't know what we'd do without her.
