A little bit about me

Hi! I just graduated college with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, and I'm looking for some work in New York City while I'm on my gap year (or years)! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or maintaining routines, I’m here to support your family’s needs. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping and meal prep. I’m looking for a live-in position with a warm, welcoming family where I can make a positive difference in your child’s life. I'm not currently CPR and first-aid certified, but I'm planning on becoming both!

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Julia! I'm in college studying education with an initiative to care for children in our community. I have four years of experience working with children of all ages. I worked part-time as an after school tutor at local Boys and Girls Club and full time as a head counselor to numerous summer programs. I love working with children to provide a safe, loving and fun environment with attention to personal growth and safety.

While I have most experience working in education and tutoring children, I love spending time with kids in a variety of ways. I hope to incorporate activities like arts and crafts and sports into our time together. I aim to create a space that is both comfortable and proactive for every family.

Outside of my experience with children, I love to travel, exercise, and try new things! I am a hard worker, adventurous and kind. Thank you for your consideration of me as your caregiver :)
