A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Nina. I am very patient with children and love helping them learn while also having fun.
Safety is my utmost concern and I carefully monitor children when I take them on outings to the park or to museums. I understand good nutritional choices and I carefully prepare meals that are healthy for kids but that they also love to eat. I have had terrific relationships with all of the families and kids with whom I’ve interacted with.
I am currently a licensed practical nurse but my true love is working with children. I have great verbal communication skills and can assist with all needs.

A little bit about me

My name is Emilia Lopez I´m 21 years old. From San Juan, Argentina living in Novato, California like and au pair but I really want to move to New York.
I studied psychology and that’s helped me a lot to understand kids development.
I'm the oldest of 4 sibling (3 brothers and 1 sister). The youngest is only one year old and I love him so much. Watching how is he growing up without me is a little sad but I'm so happy here that I haven´t feel homesick, at least not yet.
Talking about my childcare experience I used to help my parents driving my siblings and cousins to their activities.
I have 11 cousins, I'm the oldest too. All of them know I will always be there for them, even their parents trust me and ask me for help taking care of their kids. And thats something I really appreciate, every time that someone trust me with the most important part of their life means a lot. Because of that I want to thank you for letting me take care of your kids. I promise you, you won't regret.
Another experience I have is helping teachers with their students in a English institute.
And my last one, with my two lovelies girls. Mackenzie, she is 8 years old and Kennedy who is almost 6 years old.
I always love working with kids because they teach me a lot, they make me want to be a better person.
If I look backwards I realize how much I change not only talking about my childcare experience. Being an au pair tougth me how to see the world with others eyes.
I've always been patient, helpful, responsive, open minded and independent but since I'm here I see that I’m improving all of those qualities.
I'm not ready to go back home because I know I have so much more for learn, improve and I would love to do it with you.
