About Mercedes

Experience: 12 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my greatest passion, as I believe caring for children is a profoundly rewarding calling. With 12 years of experience, I bring an upbeat, energetic approach to childcare for children aged newborn to 12+. I hold a college degree with Early Child Development Coursework, First Aid Training, and CPR Training. My creative nature shines through when I lead outdoor sports, educational games, or arts and crafts. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide expert supervision during pool time. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and will always follow your preferred communication method for daily updates. I am also happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I truly look forward to the possibility of becoming a positive, supportive presence in your family's life.

Mercedes started with our family when our baby was a newborn. It was a super hard time, he had colic and I had postpartum anxiety. She came in with patience and love and helped me get back to work as smoothly as possible. Having a nanny that you trust changes everything, we knew he was safe with her. We are forever grateful.
