A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Mariel, a nurturing, patient, and reliable caregiver with two years of paid childcare experience plus the everyday experience of being a mom to my 4-year-old daughter, Mylani. I’ve worked with kids through Catholic Charities Community Services and the YMCA, starting as a summer camp counselor then moving into after-school tutoring during the school year. I’ve helped children with homework, reading, creative play, outdoor activities, and building healthy routines, always keeping things safe, structured, and fun.

I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR-certified, and great at keeping kids engaged and supported. I’m also finishing my degree in Accounting.

I’m looking for a family who values kindness, consistency, and strong communication. I love creating calm, positive spaces where children feel cared for and confident. I’m passionate about helping children, caring for them brings me immense joy and happiness.

I’d love to meet and see if we’re a great fit!

Luisa C. - Seeking Work in New York

Part-Time Nanny Available in New York, NY: Luisa C.

I’m someone who truly enjoys building genuine connections with children and being part of their everyday world — whether that’s through play, learning, or simply creating a sense of safety and trust.

I would describe myself as warm, patient, and very present with kids. I love getting to know their personalities, what makes them laugh, what calms them down, and what helps them feel confident and understood. For me, being a nanny is not just about supervision, but about becoming a positive and steady presence in a child’s life.

I’m also a native Spanish speaker and speak English fluently, which allows me to naturally introduce bilingual communication into daily routines if families are interested.
