Hi families! I'm Ximena, originally from Colombia, with 10+ years of childcare experience. I'm caring, responsible, and dependable, and I spent the last four years with one wonderful family. I have references from multiple families available upon request. I'm CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross, bilingual in English and Spanish, and have reliable transportation and a safe driving record. I love helping children learn and grow through outdoor adventures, library visits, arts and crafts, reading, music, and playdates. I enjoy supporting their development, encouraging creativity and independence, and teaching Spanish naturally through play. I'm patient, organized, and punctual, and I value building trusting relationships with both children and parents. I'm looking for a long-term nanny position in Kirkland, Bellevue, or the surrounding Eastside area starting January 2027. I'd love to meet your family!
Ximena worked with us for almost 1 year before transitioning to another family. She was a live-in nanny and cared primarily for our newborn son until he was 10 months. We also had a 5 year old, that she helped watch occasionally, who has quite a lot of energy and can from time to time be a challenge to redirect when upset and she was a professional at all times with both! Because she is bilingual she was able to share her native language with both boys on a daily basis and we loved the diversity she brought to our house. She is quiet but assertive, patient but not a "push over". We were very sad to loose her but she moved and she lived too far to make it worth while to have her stay on; then she found another family on top of that extremely close to her new place. We have a new nanny and as nice as she is, she is not nearly as attentive as Ximena was, and any family that is lucky enough to have her in their home will have a true professional childcare worker on their hands.
