Nanny of the Month – January 2026

At Choose The Right Nanny, we believe exceptional caregivers are the heart of every thriving family. Each month, we proudly spotlight a caregiver who goes above and beyond in supporting children, parents, and households with care, consistency, and genuine love.

For January 2026, we are honored to recognize Matilda Davila as our Nanny of the Month and Family Support Star.

Meet Matilda Davila

Matilda is an incredible nanny and preschool teacher with over eight years of hands-on childcare experience. Her journey includes two years as a live-in nanny in New York, followed by her return to San Antonio, where she has been caring for a wonderful family now preparing for relocation.

Her background spans a wide range of care needs, from newborns and infants to children who benefit from additional support and structured routines. Matilda has worked closely alongside therapists to follow individualized care plans, ensuring children feel safe, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.

A Skill Set That Supports the Whole Family

Matilda brings both heart and professionalism into every home she serves. Her experience includes:

  • Newborn and infant care
  • Children’s laundry and household organization
  • Driving children to activities and appointments
  • Planning engaging playdates and birthday celebrations
  • Overnight and extended care
  • Domestic and overseas travel with families

Fluent in English and Spanish, Matilda naturally weaves Spanish into daily routines, creating meaningful learning moments through play and conversation. She is also a confident and safety-focused driver, values structure, and adapts seamlessly to each family’s unique parenting style.

Passion Beyond the Role

Beyond her professional skills, Matilda is a creative, musical, and deeply compassionate individual. She is currently pursuing a degree in teaching and is committed to nurturing children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth.

Most importantly, Matilda values long-term, trusting relationships—not only with the children she cares for, but also with the parents she partners with. Her approach reflects the very heart of Choose The Right Nanny: thoughtful care built on trust and respect.

What Families Say About Matilda

San Antonio, Texas Family

“Matilda is our favorite on-call babysitter, and our daughters (ages 5 and 6) absolutely adore her. She is sweet, responsible, and always punctual. She keeps the girls engaged with outdoor play, creative activities, and plenty of fun, while also helping with cooking and tidying. We wish we had more hours to keep her with us, she is truly kind, dependable, and wonderful with children.”

San Antonio, Texas Family

“Matilda cared for our family for over two years, first as a babysitter for our two boys and later full-time after we welcomed our third child. She was responsible for their care and safety, preparing meals, bedtime routines, dressing, and engaging them in thoughtful, age-appropriate activities. She is bubbly, punctual, deeply caring, and empathetic. Our children adored her and were always excited to see her. We were heartbroken when she moved and wish we still had her with us.”

New York Family

“Matilda was our live-in nanny for two years and cared for our three children, including a newborn. She was organized, creative, and deeply trustworthy. She managed daily routines, laundry, meals, homework, and transportation, arranged playdates and outings, provided overnight care, and traveled with our family overseas. She kept our children safe, active, and happy. Matilda is energetic, easy to live with, and exceptional with families, we would recommend her without hesitation.”

Matilda’s Experience with Choose The Right Nanny

“Working with Choose The Right Nanny has been a very positive experience for me. Merrilan is supportive, easy to talk with, and genuinely cares about making thoughtful matches between families and nannies. I’ve always felt heard and appreciated, and I’m grateful to be part of an agency that truly values both caregivers and families.”

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Matilda Davila as our January 2026 Family Support Star. Her dedication, warmth, and professionalism embody everything we stand for at Choose The Right Nanny.
