A little bit about me

My name is Maria, born in Valladolid, Spain.
I’m psychologist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology.
Working with children has always been a true passion of mine. Over the years, I have supported children not only in their emotional growth but also in their daily routines, learning, and play. My background in psychology allows me to understand their individual needs and personalities, creating an environment that is both loving and structured, where they feel safe, valued, and encouraged to express themselves freely.
I am a spanish native and fluent english.
I would be delighted to help your children learn or improve their spanish naturally through daily conversation, games, and creative activities.
I am currently based in New York, USA, and I am available for both live-in and live-out positions. I would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss how I can contribute to your children’s well-being and happiness.
Thank you very much for considering my application.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Yanni, and I’m a creative, caring, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and playful, and I love creating a fun environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves while still having structure and boundaries.

As a fashion designer and creative, I’m especially great at keeping little ones engaged through arts, crafts, imaginative play, music, and hands-on activities. I’m also organized, communicative, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s child very seriously. My goal is always for parents to feel confident that their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Madison and caring for children has always come naturally to me. My younger brother was born when I was 12 years old, and from a young age I helped my mom with everything involved in raising him. Over the past 12 years, that experience has taught me patience, responsibility, structure, and how to create a loving and supportive environment for children.

I currently work professionally with children and families, and I pride myself on being warm, dependable, organized, and attentive. I also love cooking and baking, keeping a clean and organized home, and creating fun, comforting routines for the children I care for. My goal is always to make both children and parents feel safe, supported, and cared for.

A little bit about me

I am a compassionate, reliable, and highly experienced caregiver with nearly two decades of hands-on work supporting children, families, and individuals with complex medical and emotional needs. With a background in pediatric care, neonatal night-nannying, autism support, and childhood PTSD, I bring a calm, trauma-informed, and nurturing approach to every household. My experience includes sleep training, establishing healthy routines, assisting with learning and developmental needs, and providing a structured but warm environment where children feel safe and supported. I am currently pursuing my RN, and my extensive medical and home-health background allows me to confidently manage medications, monitor safety, and respond appropriately in any situation. I truly love helping children grow, explore, and thrive, and I approach nannying not just as a job but as a meaningful partnership with families built on trust, stability, and care.
