Hi, I’m Vanesa! I’m responsible, patient, and really enjoy spending time with children. I’ve helped raise my younger siblings from when my brother was a baby and toddler, and I’ve continued caring for them as they started school. This experience has taught me how to keep kids safe, entertained, and supported at every stage. I’m reliable, friendly, and always happy to help out families who need a trustworthy babysitter.
