Hi, my name is Mané. Caring for children has always come naturally to me. I've worked as an au pair and private tutor, supporting daily routines, learning, creative play, and overall supervision. As the eldest of three siblings, I naturally stepped into a nurturing, responsible role early on. My younger brother is autistic, and growing up alongside him shaped my patience, empathy, and understanding that every child experiences the world differently. I've also cared for a child on the autism spectrum professionally, which strengthened my ability to provide structure while honoring each child's individuality. I love creating safe, joyful spaces where kids feel seen and supported. Whether we're painting, gardening, hiking, or learning something new, I aim to nurture curiosity, confidence, and emotional security while maintaining open communication with parents.
Mané was with our family for 3 years and am so grateful to have had her. She cared for my 2 boys and was a big sister to them throughout her time with us. Whether it’s homework or helping them practice for basketball and soccer, she she always showed up with patience, kindness, and a genuine love for our family. My boys absolutely adored her, and I always felt confident knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Mané is responsible, trustworthy, and incredibly dependable. She became such an important part of our lives, and any family would be lucky to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any childcare position.
