Summary

With almost ten years of experience in childcare, my journey began as a Kids Entertainer in Spain. Transitioning into the role of a private nanny, I discovered my passion for childcare, especially when I started caring for my first newborn charge. I am dedicated to ensuring the safety, well-being, and happiness of every child I care for. I am excited to bring my expertise and dedication to a new opportunity in the childcare sector.
