A little bit about me

I am a disciplined, organised, and ambitious young woman who enjoys taking responsibility
and creating a positive environment for the people around me. I naturally approach every
task with care, patience, and attention to detail, believing that trust is built through
consistency, reliability, and genuine commitment.
Throughout my studies, work experience, and childcare activities, I have developed strong
organisational, communication, and interpersonal skills. My experience working with children
aged 6–10 has strengthened my patience, creativity, and understanding of children's needs.
I enjoy creating safe, structured, and engaging environments where children can learn,
develop confidence, and enjoy meaningful activities.
I enjoy preparing healthy meals, planning educational and outdoor activities, and maintaining
structured daily routines. I am motivated to exceed expectations, continuously improve
myself, and become someone a family can genuinely rely on.

A little bit about me

Hi there,
I am Vianney Acevedo and I have formal experience working with children for over 12 years. I have been teaching for over 12 years and currently caring for a child. For the pass 2 years I have been working with a new born and she now is 2 years old. Her parents and I have worked together with sleep training, solids, transitions from a crib to a big girl bed, and potty training.

Working with children has always been my passion and helping others. Knowing that I play in role in their lives and watching them grow is the most amazing experience. I am car certified, Mat certified and Montessori certified. I am also fluent in Spanish and English and teach sign language.

Also, I have experience working with special needs children and parents. Organization and structure is key to a child development but allowing them to explore life freely is important.

My availability are from 8am -6pm Monday-Friday. I look forward to meet new families.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sara, I'm 25, and I’ve been living in the U.S. since May 2025 as an au pair.
My current program will end in November, and I’m now looking for a wonderful family to support as a live-in nanny.
I truly enjoy working with children, especially ages 5 and up, and I love being part of a structured and caring household. I’m looking for a family with a clear routine, as I will be starting university in January and will need dedicated time for my studies.
I would describe myself as responsible, caring, and very reliable. I’m excited to find the right family where I can build a trusting relationship and continue growing in childcare.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Zareen! Originally from Cambridge, MA, I'm an upcoming senior studying Political Science and Human Rights. Currently on an academic sabbatical, I have full-time availability (days, nights, weekends) through January 2027 and am willing to commute anywhere in NYC from Brooklyn. I have extensive experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Recently, I was a nighttime babysitter for a 5-month-old and previously cared for 18-month-old twins, managing daily routines, feeding, and bedtime. I am happy to help with housekeeping, cooking, and pet care (no allergies!). I also love sharing my hobbies-arts and crafts, music, reading, and baking-with the kids I watch.
