Introduction
Elena and Ăscar hired babysitter Ana when Raquel was 8 months old. Knowing that Ana was a mum herself gave them peace of mind.
Did you meet many babysitters before hiring Ana?
Elena (mother): âWhen ‘Oscarâs parental leave came to an end it was time to find a babysitter for Raquel. We had an Excel file with 20 babysitters who we liked and we had quite a few interviews. We liked Ana from the very first phone call: She has a very beautiful and calming voice. And, above all, she is a mom herself.â


Elena (mother):
âNow Raquel is going to the nursery, and the teachers say she talks a lot. âItâs the babysitterâ, I say. She reads books to her, sings to her, and tells her stories.â
Ana (babysitter):
âMy kids have grown up, and you would think that it’d be difficult for me to go back to playing with a kid at my age. But it isn’t! Luna and I spend a lot of our time together, just sitting on the floor playing. I go home with Play-Doh in my eyelashes.â
