Summary
For me working as a nanny is having the opportunity to help raise children with love, patience, respect, communication and healthy boundaries. It is not only a job, it is to be part of a family where we will work hand in hand with the purpose of offering a good quality of life to the little ones. I am always open to listen to suggestions and advice so that the families feel happy with my company, the most important thing is that we can feel comfortable with each other.
