A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Agustina and I am a dedicated Educational Psychologist and Childcare Professional from Argentina! With over 10y of experience working: as an educator, child psychologist, and nanny; which has given me a deep understanding of child development and the ability to support children in meaningful ways.
I have worked with children with different special needs, cared for newborns, supported school-aged kids and for the past two years I’ve been living with a wonderful family as their au pair, caring for siblings now ages 7 to 11.
I’m currently studying Early Childhood, Infant & Toddler Mental Health, because I strongly believe in lifelong learning and staying updated to provide the best care possible.
As a person, I’m kind, caring, loving, patient, and very responsible. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, helping them feel safe, happy, and supported.
I would love for you to reach out to me so we can get to work together in the best way possible for your children.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Josephine, but everyone calls me Josie. I currently work as a Medical Assistant in Pediatrics at Mount Sinai. I’m CPR certified and have years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages.
I truly love being around kids — their energy, creativity, and curiosity always brighten my day. In addition to my medical background, I’ve worked in a high school, an adolescent clinic, and an after-school program, where I helped with homework, supervised activities, and created a safe, supportive space for kids to thrive.
These experiences have given me a strong understanding of how to care for children both medically and emotionally. I'm calm, responsible, and nurturing, and I bring a blend of professional healthcare knowledge and genuine love for kids to every childcare role.
Whether it's keeping your little ones engaged, helping with schoolwork, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I’m here to support your family with warmth and care.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Amir Zaidal. I’m originally from Boca Raton, Florida, and I recently finished my bachelor’s degree in Political Science after spending the past few years in Kentucky. Now that I’ve graduated, I’m excited to start the next chapter of my life.
I’ve been working with kids since high school — I started out at a daycare and since then have worked one-on-one with families as a nanny. Childcare has always felt really natural and rewarding to me, and I’m looking to continue building those meaningful connections.
I’m super active (I played softball for 12 years!) and also love cooking, which comes in handy when working with families. I’m reliable, energetic, and very comfortable creating structured, nurturing environments where kids feel safe and supported.
