A little bit about me

My name is Pamela, and I am a Business Administration major at BMCC Community College. Alongside being a full-time student, I work as a part-time babysitter and have been caring for a 3-year-old child in Brooklyn for over a year. My responsibilities include school pick-ups, organizing age-appropriate activities such as library visits and park outings, arranging playdates, and assisting with weekly date nights, which involve meal preparation, bath time, and bedtime routines.

I have three years of experience providing care for newborns, infants, and toddlers, with strong references available. My passion for childcare began at a young age when I became an aunt, which naturally shaped my nurturing, attentive, and responsible approach to caregiving. I have also built trusted relationships with families in the community and have cared for multiple children over time. I am currently seeking weekend/ part-time babysitting opportunities to take on additional hours.

A little bit about me

I am a dedicated and nurturing career nanny with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with families from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds, including children with special needs and developmental differences. My background in child development has given me a strong understanding of the physical, emotional, and cognitive milestones that shape each stage of childhood. I pride myself on creating safe, structured, and engaging environments that support each child’s individual growth and unique personality. I’m now seeking a long-term position where I can grow with a family, build meaningful relationships, and become a consistent, trusted part of their children’s lives.
