With 3+ years of experience in childcare, I bring a blend of maturity, patience, and a fun, creative spirit to every session. With a commitment to individualized care, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. From engaging activities to ensuring their safety and well being, I'm dedicated to providing top-quality childcare. I can't wait to make a positive impact on your child's life! I'd describe my personality as empathetic, responsible and open-minded. Whether it's their curiosity, honesty or resilience, I am constantly impressed by every children's insights. I value the opportunity to get to know every kid I work with because engaging with them allows me to share knowledge and offer guidance while also teaching me important lessons in empathy, patience and creativity.

Valentina has been a wonderful caregiver for our two children (ages 5 and 3) since the start of the school year. Every weekday, she picks them up from two different locations—school and daycare—and stays with them at our home for about three hours daily. She’s been a tremendous help, especially with our daughter’s kindergarten homework, making our evenings much smoother. Beyond homework, Valentina takes the kids to the park, ensuring they get fresh air and time to play. She even brings snacks along, which shows her thoughtful and proactive approach. She has also taken them to the library too. She also goes every other week to the library and brings them new books to read together. She’s honestly a heaven sent! From day one, both of our children absolutely adored her, and it’s clear she’s formed a genuine connection with them. In the early days of us having hired her, she also offered to stay with my kids in order for my husband and I to do date night. My husband and I hadn’t done a date since since before kids so I was a nervous wreck but she calmed my anxiety by keeping me up to date with messages and pictures. Before this, my kids only have been taken care of by my mom. (Grandma) - no outsiders EVER. But Valentina won us all over. Shhas been a blessing and we can’t imagine life without her. We feel very lucky to have Valentina as part of our routine. Her reliability, kindness, and dedication make her an amazing sitter, and we highly recommend her to any family!
