Adriana is amazing! As a busy physician and mother of a preschooler and infant, I felt so fortunate to have found Adriana in our community. She currently takes care of our 6 month old baby and spends time with our older child. Both have become very close with her over a short period of time because she is a very kind, warm hearted soul who really cares about children and their development. Given her extensive experiences as teacher, parents and nanny, she is very knowledgeable of ways to enrich a child’s age all the way from infancy. She is patient, organized and extremely proactive to help our family. I am completely at ease knowing that our baby is in her good hands. Moreover, I find her feedback about both of our kids very informative for me as new parent learning to gentle parent while also be authoritative! I can only say that we lucked out to have her as part of our family for the next year. Therefore I highly recommend Adriana!

Adriana has been amazing with our newborn! She has a great deal of experience working with babies of all ages and it clearly shows in the level of care, cleanliness, patience, maturity and attention she brings to our home. We hope to continue with her for an extended period.

Adriana is great! She watched our two kids for a date night. She brought activities that the kids loved and she did a great job getting them down for the night. She is very experienced and has a natural ability to connect with our kids and has skills to cope with behavioral issues in a supportive and positive way.

Adriana was our daughter’s shared nanny Feb-April 2021. She took care of our 3 year old and her friend who is 6 months younger. Adriana is a caring and attentive nanny with a deep interest in early childhood teaching and development. So while she took good care of the girls in terms of their food and nap schedules, she also put a lot of effort into crafting activities that put them on a path to learning concepts like shapes, seasons and the alphabet She taught them songs in English and Spanish. All in all, we appreciate her teaching and learning based approach, which kept the girls engaged and happy in an at home setting during the pandemic.

Adriana is fantastic. She arrived right on time for a date night, prepared with a craft for our kids, ages 2 and 4 (homemade play dough), and sent several pics and updates via text throughout the evening for peace of mind (without me asking - thank you!). She also left a hand-written report of the evening, which I loved. Our kids had a blast and we definitely recommend her to anyone.

We needed someone on short notice and Adrianna was a real life saver! She took care of our 1.5 month old son for a whole day and she was really loving and careful. She wrote down each step on a notepad and let me know what they've done throughout the day. As my mother was with her as well, she helped her a lot. She seems like she is getting along with children really well and I strongly recommend everyone to work with her.

We hired Adriana a few times for babysitting. Adriana was always on time and well prepared. She had planned and prepared a variety of activities taking our kids preferences well into account.

Adriana is a wonderful sitter. We've used her services several times already and she is extremely responsive to our requests, punctual and professional. Each time she has come, she brings a different activity to walk the kids through. They absolutely love her activities and enjoy spending time with her. She engages really well with our two kids. We are hoping to continue to use Adriana for future date nights and weekend days.

I'd like to recommend Adriana as a babysitter. She took care of my two special needs kiddos and that was great, full prepared and so nice and kind with them. A relief as a mother having people like her taking care of your children.

Adriana is really very good! This is the first time we had her over to take care of our two boys ages 5 years and 1 and half years old while we were out for long hours running marathon. They both loved her, my 5 year old was so happy with all the fun activities she did with them. Adriana brings all fun activities for the kids and those activities keep them happy and busy. She took good care of them and we feel safe to keep our kids with her. We look forward to have her in often for future to take care of our boys.

Adriana was wonderful. This is the first time we hired a sitter at home and we're very satisfied. She brought books, a board game and made play dough at home which kept the kids fully entertained. The kids loved her and said they would love to play again with her.

Adriana is amazing! She came prepared with games and educational books and activities for our kids. Our kids had so much fun with her that in the morning when they woke up, they were so excited to tell us about their night with Adriana. My son said it was "the best night of his life"! They made playdough and made replicas of the earth which they couldn't stop talking about. We are grateful to have found Adriana!

Adriana is great. She took care of two of our daughters during a week night. She was very responsible, she kept notes for each baby about sleep/diaper change/feeding. She is very responsible to my messages. I will definitely have her again to watch my girls.

Adriana is great!. Our 4-yo son spent a nice evening under her care. She caught his attention since the very beginning and kept him engaged and entertained the whole time (no TV at all which we loved!). She arrived with some activities based our son’s interests and he loved playing with the arctic animals and science experiments that she had prepared for him. Adriana was very open to answer to all our questions about her skills and experience and listened attentively to all our concerns/requests beforehand. She also provided us with details about how the activities, dinner and the rest of evening went afterwards. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her services for your family.

Adriana is one of the best babysitters we've ever used. She showed up early so that we could go over instructions. She brought age-appropriate activities for my daughter to keep her entertained. We are pretty strict on screen time, so we love how she actually engaged with and played with our kids. She also provided a very detailed report afterwards about how the kids ate, how they slept, and what kinds of activities they did. She is amazing!

Adriana is great! She brought all her own supplies for crafts and science experiments. The morning after, my kids were raving about Capillary Action, and explain how colors mix. I would definitely have her sit the kids again. Oh and she got my kids off their devices for several hours, and that in of itself is impressive...

I hired Adriana to watch my 7yr old girls on a Friday night. Adriana was prompt and brought supplies for two incredibly engaging activities: puffy paint and homemade ice cream. She was great energy and warmth. My girls loved doing crafts with her. I appreciated how well she cleaned up and how she shared a picture of their creations. Will definitely hire her again.

We were so nervous leaving our toddler with someone who isn't family since he has never been watched by anyone else before. However, my son loved Adriana and was asking for her the following morning when he woke up. Adriana brought her own activity, which my son loved. Then, I made him dinner but he did not want to eat it; Adriana came to the rescue and made him an alternative dinner, which he ate. She cleaned up after her activities, and took note of how much he ate. She is lovely. One last thing, when she wasn't available for us one day, she recommended her daughter, who was wonderful and caring as well. I highly recommend Adriana.

Adriana stepped up and helped out when another sitter decided to abandon us for another sitting job last-minute. In the end, we feel this was for the better! Throughout the evening, Adriana took detailed notes—every diaper change (and status), every feeding (how much, how long), and every activity. Upon our return, she explained the benefit of each activity. In order to give our LO a head start in foreign language learning, we requested that Adriana speak Spanish to her as much as possible. Here too, she went above and beyond, not only speaking to and singing to her in Spanish, but also sending us the words to the songs so we can sing to her in Spanish too! We are so grateful that Adriana was there for us, and would request her again in a heartbeat!

We've been very luck to find Adriana to be the nanny for our son. She's very organized. Through her first couple days' experience playing with our son, she made a detailed plan how she would do to improve/enhance our son's early development. She also communicates with us clearly on why she does it. On top of all the education she brings to him through talking, playing, singing songs, she also takes good care of his physical needs. She changes diaper regularly, feeds him and pats him to sleep. I see a happy baby when our son staying with her and thrives everyday. We all love you, Adriana. Thanks for being an excellent nanny for our son!

We had Adriana babysit for the first time last week. My kids loved her! She brought a surprise project to do with the kids and they were so excited to show me the homemade play-doh they made with her when I got home. They spent the time having Lego competitions and drawing sessions. We have her coming again a bunch of days next week and my kids are super excited. She is a great babysitter who will keep your kids entertained and active.

I was so excited to find that Adriana was here on Sittercity! We actually realized we knew her from our daughter's preschool, and I was pleasantly surprised to find her here when I was looking for additional help. She provides very high care - warm, loving, cheerful, organized, and educational. Above and beyond for a typical sitter. She arrived with activities and a plan for what to do with the girls for the day, making it so easy for me to trust that the day would go smoothly. The girls love being with her and they also listen to her, so I know they trust her too!

Adrianna did an amazing job looking after my son. She kept him engaged with fun activities like making playdough and drawing. She cooked lunch and help with laundry.
