A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Isabel 🤍

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient nanny with years of hands-on experience. I’ve been surrounded by children my whole life and have helped care for kids since I was 14, including my 7 nieces and nephews. Being around children truly makes me happy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.

I’ve had my driver’s license for almost 5 years with a completely clean record, and I’m very comfortable driving long distances. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities.

I’m currently in college and taking my classes online, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and fully dedicate my time to the families I work with.

I’m also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and pets. I’m dependable, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to support your family.

I would love to be a positive, caring presence in your child’s life 💕

A little bit about me

I have lived in New York City for nearly ten years and have seven years of experience working with children in grades K–8 as a teacher and Special Education Coordinator. I care deeply about the children I work with and always go above and beyond to support their academic, emotional, and behavioral needs. I also believe in strong communication with parents and caregivers so everyone is on the same page about how to help a child grow and feel supported. I love building warm, positive relationships with kids and creating a safe and structured environment where they can feel confident, curious, and happy. I am excited to bring that same care and attention to working with a family as a nanny.
