Astrid
Hello, My name is Astrid Alejandra Arias-Barrera, I am a photographer and mixed media artist, and I have always had a strong, natural connection with children. From a young age, I helped care for younger kids in my family and developed a very nurturing, motherly personality. I had to step away from work for a period of time, but I am now ready and excited to return to working with families and children. For the past four years, I have provided childcare on and off for family members, roommates, and friends. Through these experiences, I have learned how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am dependable, a quick learner, and very open-minded. I am also happy to help with cooking, cleaning and any other household tasks as needed. I am truly grateful for any opportunity to support a family and provide safe, loving care for their children.

My experience has strengthened my ability to manage daily routines, support developmental milestones, promote positive behavior, follow health and safety practices, and provide attentive individualized care.

I provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care while treating every child with patience, respect, and kindness.

hello, "As a proud mom of two wonderful girls, aged 10 and 8, I understand the importance of finding someone who not only cares for your children but also creates a nurturing and fun environment. I’ve spent years honing my caregiving skills, ensuring that my own daughters feel loved, safe, and supported—something I’m passionate about sharing with the children I look after. When it comes to babysitting, I believe in creating positive, engaging experiences. Whether it’s crafting, reading, outdoor play, or simply enjoying a movie night, I love tailoring activities to match the interests and needs of each child.
