A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Hana, a caring, responsible, and reliable childcare professional with hands-on experience caring for young children. I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.

I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I understand that every child has their own personality, routine, and needs. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, getting outdoors, reading, playing, and keeping a consistent daily routine while making sure children have fun along the way.

I also value open communication with parents and believe in building a relationship based on trust and respect. My goal is not only to care for your child, but to become someone your family can genuinely rely on and feel comfortable with.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ta’Myriah Jones, I’m 19 years old, and I’m a certified mandatory reporter with 1+ year of professional childcare experience.
I grew up helping raise my 3 younger brothers, one of whom has special needs, so I have hands-on experience working with children with autism. I understand that special needs kids thrive with someone who is patient, experienced, and able to communicate clearly and compassionately.
I’m skilled in daily care routines including potty training, meal prep, and helping children regulate emotions and express their needs. Above all, my priority is making sure every child feels safe, cared for, and genuinely loved.

A little bit about me

My name is Elise Williams. Im 19 years old. I graduated high school in 2025. I've babysat since I was 12 and nanny since I was 17. I adore kids and one day I want to be a mom of many. It brings me so much joy to help others and make people happy. I've been really wanting to get out in the world and try something new like a live-in nanny job. i take online classes at my local community college so I'm still at home. School is so important to me and I will continue to do it but experience is something I find more important. I'm from a smaller town and New York is a dream place to live for at least a part of my life. I am finally ready for something new and to actually try something I've been wanting to do forever. Im excited to change lives and provide safe and nourishment.

A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Etienne Pauline, and I am a bilingual French-English nanny and childcare professional currently based in New York.

I hold a Master's degree in Art Education and have several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged children. Throughout my childcare experience, I have supported children's development through creative activities, outdoor play, age-appropriate learning, and nurturing daily routines.

My background in art education allows me to bring creativity, imagination, and educational value into everyday activities. I especially enjoy creating hands-on art projects, nature-based activities, and enriching experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence, and creativity.

As a native French speaker fluent in English, I would be delighted to support a bilingual environment and introduce children to the French language and culture when desired.
