20 years of experience have taught me that childcare is more than just a job; it's a chance to shape young lives. My babysitting roles motivated me to support families and positively impact children. I am patient, creative, and approachable, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and will always follow your preferred communication method, whether through written daily reports or regular updates. I am trained in First Aid and CPR, and I've completed coursework in Early Child Development. I'm comfortable caring for one child, have a car, and I'm comfortable with pets. I can also travel with your family and supervise swimming activities. I speak English and Spanish. I find joy in seeing children learn and grow, and I'm excited to bring my experience and passion to your family.

Alicia is the best caregiver you'll ever find and quickly became family. She cared for our daughter from 5.5 to 17 months and taught us how to be first-time parents. She moved us from contact naps to sleep training suited to our baby, who now sleeps longer and is much happier. She finds classes/ events & has embraced our Indian culture and food. Clear communicator, adaptable, reliable, supportive, extremely experienced. Trusted from day one. No flaws! We'd never leave her, but we're relocating.

INCREDIBLE NANNY AVAILABLE!

We’re parting ways with our nanny of almost three years and wanted to share her availability in the hope of helping her find another loving home.

Alicia has cared for our children with genuine dedication, love, and heart. We want to ensure she joins a family that will value her as much as we have.

A few highlights about Alicia:
	•	Proactive and resourceful: She takes initiative and has introduced our children to countless local activities — parks, farms, libraries, children’s museums, and wonderful extracurricular programs.
	•	Fosters curiosity and kindness: Alicia has a special gift for nurturing empathy and a love of animals, which has left a lasting mark on our kids.
	•	Language and cultural enrichment: She has spoken Spanish with them from the start, weaving language and culture naturally into their daily routines through story times, books, and age-appropriate media.
	•	Positive and reliable: Alicia is deeply dependable, adaptable, and anticipates a family’s needs without being asked.
	•	Safe driver: She is a reliable driver and has supported us when needed.

She is a proud dual American–El Salvadorian citizen, effortlessly bilingual, and a deeply kind person. She will be available in early 2026, with some flexibility for the right family.

If you know anyone looking for a full-time nanny, please feel free to reach out to Alicia directly. Her next family is blessed to have her.


Alicia has been taking the absolute best care of our daughter for the last 2 years, since she was ~4 months. Our daughter absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her each morning, as do we. Alicia is loving, energetic & fun. She is equally calm, firm when needed, and consistent. She has a sunny disposition and a can-do spirit which is hugely helpful and uplifting when you're an exhausted parent! Alicia is self-motivated and found a local group of nannies to help socialize our daughter, proactively sought out local activities like story time at the library and other arts and crafts programs the library hosts. Our daughter has become a fun-loving yet very polite toddler in large part because of Alicia. I regularly receive notes from other caregivers about how attentive and patient Alicia is. I believe Alicia is best suited for a family just starting on their child-rearing journey, especially if they're planning to have more then one child. We cannot recommend her more highly.

Maria cared for our daughter from 4 months old until almost 3. We moved away or else would have been with her much longer (I cried about leaving her when we moved away). She is incredibly reliable, caring, and knowledgeable. She's very experienced with infants, toddlers and more. As a first time mom I learned a lot from her. She developed such a beautiful connection with our daughter and we're in touch to this day. We feel so fortunate to have had her care for our little girl. Any family who gets to work with her is lucky!

Maria was the nanny for our daughter from 6 months to 3.5 years old, until she started attending preschool.  We were part of a nanny share arrangement with another child of the same age.  Maria would watch both children at the other child's home from roughly 8am-4pm 5 days week.

During our time working with Maria she was extremely caring, warm & professional.  She was very loving, attentive & interactive with both our child & the other child.  This created a really amazing environment for our daughter to grow up in.  Maria has clearly helped our daughter grow more caring, thoughtful & empathetic over the years.  She also taught our daughter Spanish which she still understands to this day (she's now 4). 

We are so grateful for Maria.  She still babysits our daughter occasionally & our daughter is still so excited every time she gets a chance to see her. We cannot recommend Maria enough as a caregiver.

Maria is one of the most loving, reliable, competent person who has come into our lives. She is patient, soft spoken and she cared for my children as if they were her own. She has become family to us!

My family absolutely loves Maria Alicia. She was my nanny for over 7 years and is just wonderful with my 3 kids. She started helping me when my twins were just 2 months old and my elder child was 4. She is patient, loving, kind, responsible and calm. I trust her completely with my kids. I would recommend her fully and without reservations.

Maria was fantastic with our son, J.! She cared for him when we moved to the area 4 years ago and we were very sad to say goodbye to her as we moved away recently. She was active, taking him to the park and other places (she always checked in with me first) and he loved playing with both her and her kids. She would help him with his homework and made sure he went to bed on time. My son misses her very much! I would highly recommend hiring Maria. She is a gem.

Maria worked for us about 10 hours a week for a full year, and only stopped because we had to move out of state. And having to leave her was the saddest part of the move! I had advertised for a Spanish-speaking nanny so my 3-year-old son (now 4) could have some immersion in the language, and I said that if the nanny had a young child of her own, she was free to bring him or her along. So that is how my son got his best friend (Maria's daughter), and we all got a fantastic nanny -- in addition to the basic stuff like always being on time, and being great about double-confirming dates and times, Maria was so loving and affectionate with our son, and obviously genuinely enjoys being around kids. She always had a new park or pool to check out with the kids, and often texted me photos of the kids in action. I can't say enough good things about Maria and her family! I'm happy to chat over the phone about more specifics if you'd like.

We were not able to hire Maria because my work schedule changed and the days we needed her she could not accommodate and this disappointed me because we loved her and so did my 2 year old! Her references were great and had nothing but great things to say. We will be using Maria in the evenings and weekends as needed.
