"Maddy was a fantastic caretaker for our kids. Often times she would watch over our three plus a few neighborhood friends as well. Even at a young age, it was obvious what a capable individual she is. She went above and beyond. She cooked, cleaned up, played with them, took them to the park and more. She even helped watch our home and pets when we were away. Maddy is intuitive, trustworthy, cheerful and has an easy spirit that children love. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a caretaker."

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Victoria. I am originally from Colombia but have been in American for the last 5 years. I am the oldest of 5 and I studied Art history. I have never been a nanny before but had in my youth many years of baby sitting both my younger siblings and other younger kids in the neighborhoods. Since I was young it has been a passion of mine to teach younger kids how to read and paint and introducing them to art. I meditate and spend a lot of times outdoors feeling very lucky and very blessed to live in such a beautiful and artistically rich city. I look forward to sharing my optimism, work ethic and enthusiasm for teaching with your kids and making your life as a parent a little easier.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Daniela Saray Gonzalez. I am 16 years old and I am a junior at Francis Parker Upper School. I love taking care of children and I also have lots of experience working with children with special needs, such as Autism and ADHD. My 10-year-old brother was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at the age of 1 so I was able to learn and adapt to his way of thinking to help guide him through life.

A little bit about me
Ever since I was about 9 years old, I’ve been babysitting. My mother had 3 little girls all about 10 months apart! Due to my mother being a single working mother, I had to step up and take responsibility for watching over the girls when mom wasn’t home. Now they’re like my children. Friends and family knowing I babysat my sisters asked me to babysit for them as well and it goes on from there! I am a very friendly, and hyper person. I get along with children greatly (animals too! so pets aren’t an issue). I hope this will prompt you to give me a call and get to know me a little better!
