Hi there! I'm
Valentina
Your Wedding/Event Nanny in Costa Brava
Originally from beautiful Curaçao with Colombian roots, I now call the Costa Brava my home. With over four years of experience caring for children from 4 months to 12 years old, I love helping families create magical moments on their special days — while making sure the little ones are happy, safe, and wonderfully entertained.
What I can do for you:

A little about me
I know how important your wedding day is, and I'm here to help make it perfect for your whole family.
My story
I moved to the Netherlands from Curaçao about 8 years ago, and it's been quite the adventure! Growing up in a big Caribbean family, I was always the one looking after the little cousins at family gatherings and celebrations.
When I started working with families in the Netherlands, I realized how much couples needed someone they could trust with their children during important events or just a date night. There's nothing better than seeing parents truly relax and enjoy their special moments, knowing their kids are in caring hands.
I speak Dutch (pretty well now!), English, Spanish, and Papiamentu, so I can connect with kids from all kinds of backgrounds. Plus, I love seeing how excited children get about weddings - they just need someone to help them channel that energy in the right direction!
What makes me different
I genuinely love what I do
This isn't just a job for me. I love being part of these special family moments and genuinely enjoy being around children while making sure everyone can enjoy the day.
Multicultural experience
Growing up Caribbean and living in the Netherlands has taught me how to connect with families from all different cultures.
Flexible approach
Every family is different. I always work with you to figure out what would work best for your kids and your event.
Reliable and experienced
Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after children from just a few months old to energetic preteens. I bring calm, confidence, and joy to every event. Parents trust me to create a safe, engaging space where kids feel happy and cared for, allowing the adults to fully enjoy the celebration.
