Nanny Misha

3 years experience

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Misha!
I'm a local mom of two (ages 9 and 11), currently studying Elementary Education and working in USD 383 as a Student Support Monitor specializing in social and emotional learning. It's a passion of mine to help kids sort through big emotions with patience and understanding.

Being a mom is my greatest credential. I've navigated everything from scraped knees to picky eaters and sibling squabbles.

Summers at our house mean pool days at our neighborhood pool, gardening, cooking, trips to the movie theater, and lots of time outside. I'd love for your kids (right alongside my own) to just be kids this summer — curious, active, and cared for by a trusted adult who genuinely loves this work. I also offer optional meal prep for an additional fee; I'm already doing it for my family, I'd love to do it for yours too!

I work out of my home in Manhattan, with drop-off and pick-up here most days.
Let's chat about whether we'd be a good fit!

Nanny Amaya

4 years experience

A little bit about me

With over 5 years of experience in childcare, starting in middle school, I have honed my skills as a caregiver and a daycare instructor. Being the oldest among my siblings, I naturally assumed responsibility for nurturing and guiding them from a young age. This early exposure instilled a deep sense of responsibility and empathy towards children's needs. Throughout my professional career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their development. Additionally, my role as a daycare instructor has further enriched my understanding of child psychology and effective engagement strategies. I've worked for multiple summers as a theatre camp counselor, so I'm well-versed in nurturing children's creative interests. I am recently CPR certified. My childcare approach emphasizes creative and educational activities tailored to each child's interests and developmental stage.
