A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Sophia! I'm a college student in Seville, Spain currently studying Business. This summer I'm looking forward to working with children.
I grew up in Connecticut and when I was 13 I moved to Málaga, Spain. Because of this I've had the amazing opportunity to travel around Europe and other continents and make friends from all around the globe.
I have previous experience with children.
I have a younger sister who's 15 and an older brother that's 19. I also have a dog, Sam, who I love taking on walks.
I'm a baby sitter and I also tutor young kids in English and other subjects, such as Math.
I love meeting new people and traveling to different places. Some of my favorite hobbies are baking, going to the beach and reading. I love to do outdoor activities, some of my favorites being going on long walks, playing games and going on bike rides.
I hope this summer I get the opportunity to work with children and care for them.

A little bit about me

I am Maria from Cancun Mexico!
I am a loving, fun and caring nanny with wide childcare experience.
I started working with children approximately 7 years ago.
I worked as an Au pair for 2 years and have also worked as a Pre-k English teacher, as a nanny at summer camps, daycares and hotels, among many others.
Working with kids is something I love because I love learning from them and having fun with them.
The whole nanny experience is such a great opportunity for me as a foreigner as I'm still studying to be an English teacher, so being able to perfection my English and working with kids is all I need!
With me your children be very well cared for but most importantly, loved.

A little bit about me

My name is Dahlia Cianflone. I have just finished my senior year of high school and am looking to move to to pursue a career in childcare.

I am seeking a live-in employment opportunity. I have a very strong background and experience in childcare from personally helping raise my nephew for the past 9 years. Also, my high school had an intensive program which allowed me to be trained in First Aid, CPR, teaching preschool students for 6 months, and working very closely with newborns and infants for the past 2 full years.

I have several direct references from the administrators who run the program which you can reach out to at any time.


While still in school I have held a job working at the restaurant in a senior living facility for the past year where I prepare food and drinks, engage and take orders with the residents, serve them, and maintain clean facilities.

Recent reference

"Dahlia was my student while enrolled at Danbury High School. She was taking my course “Birth through Two” where she worked intensively to simulate caring for newborns up to toddlers. She was further promoted to the Child Development and Early Childhood Workshop classes where she worked directly with infants and toddlers in a true educational and nursery setting. Dahlia was an exemplary student who always took initiative and encouraged everyone to always be in it for the kids. I would trust her with children of any age, as her experience in and outside of the classroom make her an exceptional candidate to be a nanny."

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Phylicia!
I’m a dedicated and experienced Nanny with over 2 years of caring for children of all ages — from newborns and infants to toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged kids, and teens. I’ve worked with families of all sizes and dynamics, including caring for newborns and 9-month-old twins, so I’m comfortable juggling multiple little ones at once!

I hold a Bachelor’s degree and bring a reliable, nurturing, and engaging presence into every home. I’m available to start immediately and excited to find a family I can support and grow with long-term.

Looking forward to connecting!

I am available to start on ~July 15. My availability is flexible, but I will need to work around my class schedule (Monday/Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons). Ideally, I would like to work in or near the West Village.
