About Us

Divina Crianza means "Divine Parenting" in English, a concept that reflects our vision of parenting as something magical, transformative, and deeply meaningful. This idea was born four years ago during the pandemic when Leydi decided to specialize in Positive Discipline and later became a motivational consultant. Inspired by the unique connection between parents and children, she found the best word to describe this special bond was "divine." Thus, Divina Crianza was born—a name that embodies our mission to accompany families on this extraordinary journey.

What Families Are Saying

"We hired the 'Divina Crianza' team of nannies for a corporate event with families, and the experience was amazing. Leydi coordinated everything with great professionalism. There were activities for children of all ages, and parents were able to relax and enjoy the event without worries. The children were happy, safe, and entertained. I love recommending their services more!"

"Leydi is an extraordinary professional. We hired her services as a Montessori tutor for our son Ethan, who was having difficulty focusing on his homework. With her personalized methods and patient approach, Ethan not only improved in school, but also developed a great passion for learning independently. Leydi truly has a gift! We recommend 'Divina Crianza' to any family who values hands-on, respectful learning."

"Leydi helped us completely transform the dynamic in our home. We were struggling with how to handle our son Lucas' tantrums, and with her knowledge of positive discipline, she gave us practical tools to connect with him from a place of respect and empathy. Now, Lucas is more responsive and we, as parents, feel more confident in our parenting. Her guidance has been invaluable. Thank you, Leydi, for all you do."

"Our daughter Valeria was having a hard time adjusting to preschool, and that's when we found Leydi. She offered us a Montessori-based transition plan and taught us how to support Valeria at home. Her empathy and knowledge gave us peace of mind as parents, and Valeria now feels safe and happy at her new school. We are forever grateful to Leydi and her agency."

"We hired Leydi and her team for our daughter Ava's birthday, and it was the best decision we could have made. From planning to childcare and entertainment, everything was perfect. Leydi organized inspiring activities that the children loved, and her team of nannies made sure that each child was cared for and happy. The professionalism and warmth of 'Divina Crianza' are second to none.

"An emergency forced us to find last-minute childcare, and Leydi not only responded quickly, but sent us a nanny from her team who was incredibly sweet, punctual, and reliable. Knowing that Leydi personally supervises and trains each nanny gave us great peace of mind. We are so grateful for her help and will not hesitate to contact her again."

"Our son, Liam, was struggling with Spanish in high school, and we felt like he was losing confidence. We hired Leydi for Spanish remediation sessions, and it was a game-changer. With her patience and interactive methods, she was able to help Liam not only improve his grammar and vocabulary, but also his enthusiasm for the language. Now, he even participates more confidently in class. Leydi has a knack for connecting with teens and making learning fun and meaningful. We are so grateful for her dedication!"
