Question 1

How much does a nanny cost per hour in Buenos Aires?

Accepted Answer

My rate starts at $8 USD per hour (around 12,000 pesos at the official rate), with a 3-hour daily minimum. Weekends and public holidays are 2× the hourly rate, plus about $3 for travel to your place. The first meeting is free.

Question 2

Which Buenos Aires neighbourhoods do you cover?

Accepted Answer

I work across CABA and nearby areas: Palermo, Belgrano, Núñez, Recoleta, Colegiales, Caballito and Puerto Madero. If you live somewhere else, message me and we'll sort it out.

Question 3

How do I book you as a nanny?

Accepted Answer

Message me on WhatsApp or Telegram with your child's age and the days you need, and we'll set up a free first meeting. If it feels right, we can start the same week.

Question 4

Do you work weekends, holidays or evenings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Weekends and public holidays are charged at double the hourly rate, and evening hours are arranged in advance around my university schedule.

Question 5

Do you speak English and Russian with the children?

Accepted Answer

With children I speak Spanish — it's my native language, and they pick it up naturally through play. My English and Russian are basic: enough to arrange everything with parents and understand your child, but not enough to run activities in those languages.

Question 6

How do payments work?

Accepted Answer

I accept USDT, US dollars and pesos, either at the end of each visit or weekly, whichever suits you. No deposit and no contract required.

Question 7

Can we do it officially, with invoices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you need it, we formalise the arrangement and I work under monotributo, issuing an invoice (factura) for every payment. That keeps you covered and the payments fully transparent.

Question 8

What age children do you work with?

Accepted Answer

From 6–7 months and up — babies, toddlers, and older children.

Question 9

What does a typical day look like?

Accepted Answer

A balanced mix of play, outdoor walks, meals, nap time, and quiet activities — adapted to the child's age and your family's routine.

Question 10

What is the minimum booking time?

Accepted Answer

3 hours per day.

Question 11

What do you do in case of illness or emergency?

Accepted Answer

I immediately contact the parents and follow their instructions. I have basic first aid knowledge and stay calm under pressure.

Question 12

How does my child learn Spanish with you?

Accepted Answer

Through daily natural conversation, songs, games, and stories — the most effective way for young children to absorb a new language.

Question 13

At what age can a child start picking up Spanish?

Accepted Answer

From birth. The earlier, the easier — even babies benefit from consistently hearing a second language.

Question 14

Will speaking two languages confuse my child?

Accepted Answer

No. Research shows bilingual children develop stronger cognitive flexibility. Mixing languages is normal and temporary.

Question 15

Do you take children to parks and playgrounds?

Accepted Answer

Yes — outdoor time and interaction with other children is a daily priority whenever the weather allows.

Question 16

Can you help prepare my child for kindergarten or school?

Accepted Answer

Yes — I build routines, encourage following simple instructions, sharing, and developing the independence skills children need for group settings.

Question 17

What kinds of activities do you do?

Accepted Answer

Age-adapted play: sensory and tactile games for babies; drawing, puzzles, building, and role play for toddlers; more structured creative and learning activities for older children.

Question 18

How do activities change as the child grows?

Accepted Answer

Continuously — I follow developmental milestones and introduce new challenges as the child is ready, always keeping it fun and pressure-free.

Question 19

Do you do creative activities like art or music?

Accepted Answer

Yes — drawing, crafts, songs, and imaginative play are part of every week. Creativity is one of the best tools for development and joy.
