Experience: 10 yrs
Nurturing children and supporting families has been my passion for over 10 years. My graduate degree provides a strong foundation for the care I offer children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I am a patient, creative, and approachable caregiver who enjoys engaging children through outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision to keep your little ones safe in the water. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and prioritize clear communication, whether through daily updates or your preferred method. I find great joy in becoming a reliable partner for parents and helping children thrive. I look forward to bringing my imaginative spirit and calm energy into your home to help your family flourish.
There are very few people I trust completely with my home, my son, and my dog, and Manuela is at the very top of that list. She is truly exceptional, and I recommend her with my whole heart. I've known Manuela for five years, first as my student and now as someone I trust implicitly. Watching her grow into the incredible young woman she is today has been such a privilege. She will complete her MBA this December, and she is every bit as responsible, intelligent, and hardworking as you would expect. More importantly, she has a genuinely kind heart and an unwavering sense of integrity. She has stayed in our home while we've traveled, cared for our son, and looked after our bulldog puppy, Winnie. Anyone who has owned a bulldog knows they can be a high-risk breed that requires constant attention and careful monitoring. Leaving Winnie with anyone else would make me anxious, but when Manuela is here, I can actually relax and enjoy our time away because I know she is in the very best hands. My son absolutely adores her and is always excited when he knows she's coming. She is warm, patient, fun, and attentive, and she has a natural ability to make children feel safe and comfortable. She also treats our home with tremendous respect and consistently goes above and beyond without ever being asked. Finding someone you can truly trust is rare. Manuela isn't just dependable; she's the person I call when everything that matters most to me is in her care. If I could give her more than five stars, I would. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
