About Irma

I am a teacher with more than 10 years of experience teaching and taking care of children from 0-12 years of age. My experience involves founding and running a kids learning center at a church in Venezuela. I have extensive experience orienting children in middle school, and I am fluent and fully literate in Spanish. I am also able to teach the language to children (speaking, reading & writing).

I have worked with Irma for two years now and I can’t imagine my life without her. We hired Irma to watch our son, Misha, who was about 9 months old at the time in Nov 2021. She has been with us ever since, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Irma is truly amazing. She is such a natural caregiver and loves our son dearly, but she is also a trained teacher and provides such fantastic education. Misha is 2.5 now and knows all his shapes and colors, his ABCs, and can count from 1-10 (and he’s starting to get into the teens). Not only that, but he knows these things in English and Spanish. We asked Irma to speak Spanish to Misha exclusively and it’s amazing how fluent he is in both languages now. Irma also got Misha on a sleep schedule and eating routine (he eats everything now!) which was huge for us. Irma is always developing age-appropriate activities and working on milestones with Misha and she has made our lives so much easier. Irma is an amazing cook and makes only fresh healthy food for Misha (and for us!). She’s always so calm with him, never raising her voice or losing her temper. I truly can’t say enough good things about Irma. She’s become a part of our family and so has her family. They all show Misha so much love and I feel so fortunate to know them and entrust Misha in their care. When I was laid off from my job last year we had to cut back on hours a bit and Irma was so flexible with us. She ended up bringing in another little girl who was Misha’s age for two days a week, and it worked out so well. Misha got added socialization and never once did I feel like he was losing out on attention from Irma. She creates little lesson plans for them and they play so nicely together. I cannot recommend Irma highly enough. I am available at any time to talk with other parents about our experience with her, and I mean it when I say she’ll be a part of our lives forever now. She has helped raise our son and he’s so much better for her influence (as are we).
