A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Agustina and I am a dedicated Educational Psychologist and Childcare Professional from Argentina! With over 10y of experience working: as an educator, child psychologist, and nanny; which has given me a deep understanding of child development and the ability to support children in meaningful ways.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Josephine, but everyone calls me Josie. I currently work as a Medical Assistant in Pediatrics at Mount Sinai. I’m CPR certified and have years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages.

I truly love being around kids — their energy, creativity, and curiosity always brighten my day. In addition to my medical background, I’ve worked in a high school, an adolescent clinic, and an after-school program, where I helped with homework, supervised activities, and created a safe, supportive space for kids to thrive.

These experiences have given me a strong understanding of how to care for children both medically and emotionally. I'm calm, responsible, and nurturing, and I bring a blend of professional healthcare knowledge and genuine love for kids to every childcare role.

Whether it's keeping your little ones engaged, helping with schoolwork, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I’m here to support your family with warmth and care.
