A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Angie, I’m originally from Colombia and I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, and I specialize in providing attentive, nurturing care during the early stages of development.

I’m confident with newborn and infant care, including feeding (bottles), diapering, soothing, tummy time, and helping establish healthy sleep routines. I’m very patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where children can grow and thrive.

I enjoy engaging children through age-appropriate activities that support their development, while also maintaining consistent routines that families can rely on.

I love animals and feel very comfortable working in homes with pets. I’m based in Rutherford and currently have daytime availability.

I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive part of your child’s early growth.

A little bit about me

A little about me I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, very family oriented, and currently a stay at home mom to my sweet 13 month old girl. I’m looking for an opportunity to contribute financially while my husband works nights.
Before becoming a mom, I worked as a nanny for three years (with prior childcare experience as well 4+ years at a foster home), and caring for children has always come naturally to me. I also have an EMT background, so safety, attentiveness, and staying calm under pressure are things I take very seriously.
I live in Rutherford and love going on walks and spending time outdoors. I’m always happy to keep little ones active and engaged. I also like to joke that I’m a stay at home mom of five if you count my three dogs and our leopard gecko so I’m definitely used to a busy household! And with a 13 year old sister, I’m pretty in tune with what older kids are into these days too.
I’d truly love the opportunity to connect and see if we’d be a good fit.

A little bit about me

This request is to express my desire to occupy the position of nanny in your family. I have 3 years of experience as a caregiver for children from 2 to 9 years of age, so I consider myself the perfect candidate for the position. In addition to being a nanny, I study child psychology to acquire greater knowledge and skills relevant to the care of children. I am able to help children complete their school's educational duties with the aim of strengthening their performance and accompanying them in their daily activities. My most important skills include effective communication, empathy, charisma and proactivity. I am available to work throughout the summer and willing to start when they need it. My vocation for child care and education, along with my personal skills, will make your children safe under my supervision. I appreciate your time and I will be happy to meet in a work interview.
