Nanny in Victoria, British Columbia

I'm an
Individual
Hello! My name is Maruja and I live in Victoria, BC. I am a formally trained nanny from Colombia and I would love to work with children in Victoria using my native Spanish language. I have a technical degree in Early Childhood Care and Attention (Cuidado y Atencion a la Primera Infancia) from the Tecnisistemas Institute in Bogota, Colombia. This is an intensive program consisting of 2 years of formal studies and practicums in early childhood education. I have 5 years of formal experience as a Nanny employed by various families in Colombia. I am also the mother of a wonderful 23 year old son who is currently studying at La Universidad Nacional de Colombia. I enjoy being outside with children and learning from nature. I also enjoy singing songs, reading books and cooking healthy meals. I am a tidy person who always leaves areas clean and organized. I pride myself on always keeping a clean home and would do the same for yours. I have a passion for working with young children and understand their developmental needs. I would be happy to meet your family to explore providing care of your child whilst speaking spanish with them.

Recommendations

Maruja is a wonderful caregiver who intuitively understands my son's needs. She is warm and affectionate and since day one of meeting Maruja my 18 month old asks for her all the time "Maru! Maru!". It is wonderful to see this connection and to see how attentive and engaged Maruja is every moment that she is with him. When I come home from work the house is always much tidier than I left it and the kitchen is impeccable even after she has made a home cooked meal during my son's nap time. Maruja is safety conscious and teaches my son manners while still being fun loving and adventurous. My son is learning Spanish quickly while in her care too which is amazing to me. I couldn't recommend Maruja enough! I truly trust her with my most precious little man.
