A little bit about me

Hello!

I'm Amira, I'm a 23-year-old NYC native.

I have many years of experience in childcare, with both hands on experiences as an Au pair, hands on experiences with my family and friends' children, and academic research on childhood development. I frequently do volunteer work for causes benefiting children, namely CASA/GAL (Court appointed special advocate/guardian ad litem) and Girls on the Run (a philanthropic organization which teaches young girls life skills and builds their confidence as they train for a marathon).

I am CPR and First Aid certified, trained in trauma informed caring, and I also have years of lifeguard experience. I’m available for overnights, and I’m pet-friendly!

I'm passionate about making sure every child grows up in healthy, safe environments where they can grow to be the best versions of themselves. I'd love to get to know you more and see if I'm a good fit for your family!

"Amira is absolutely one of a kind - there is nothing this girl can’t do/fix. She has instilled in my two girls the most wonderful mix of courage, kindness, and discipline that I don’t believe I would’ve had the ability to do without her! She has such a natural way with children that enables them to grow, learn, and find joy in the normal everyday. Amira is unrelentingly calm, kind, and brings boundless energy and enthusiasm to our household. In addition to her excellent childcare, she’s an amazing cook. She made the most delicious recipes entirely from scratch! When I come home from work it’s always such a smooth transition and a spotless house. My girls always have their homework done. Where they were once struggling to read, Amira helped bring them up to a high school reading level. We’ve maintained an amazing personal and professional relationship which is the norm, not the exception with Amira. I have no reservations about recommending her to any family who may be considering her."

"Amira was our au pair from 2018 from June to December. At this time, she lived in our home and provided care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to our three children, and at the same time was the main point of contact for all the staff in the house. She was efficient, attentive, reliable, friendly and bubbly. I never had a problem with her. Amira constantly went beyond for our family. It was like having a reader of the mind in our house! She was very open to trying new things and new ways of doing things. Extremely flexible with her availability. Always ready to work with us. We are located in Spain and cannot make phone calls to the USA, but my email is dad2lsb@hotmail.com if you have further questions about Amira’s capabilities."

"I hired Amira for about half a year, and if COVID hadn't happened, I don't think we would have ever let her go, and if we hadn't moved we would have re-hired her (we even offered her a live in position in our new home, but she's dedicated to completing her education at UCF). She was an amazing caregiver to our children, you can tell that she truly enjoys being a nanny. She would regularly do things we didn't even ask her to do and generally made our lives so much easier! She's great with kids, pets, and taking care of the house. We gave her a credit card to use for house purchases and for the kids and she never once misused it- she documented all receipts and without us requesting. In an emergency situation, Amira was able to deescalate and provide the necessary care all while remaining calm. We've had many nannies and house managers over the years and fully believe Amira has been the best one. You will not regret hiring her, she can rise to any challenge and shine when doing so."
