A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Nia (she/her) a Black, queer, cisgender woman. I am in graduate school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist with a Sex Therapy specialization. Rarely without a project, my works in progress include: learning how to be a good ancestor, practicing Español, sudoku puzzles, unlearning white supremacy culture, questioning systems of oppression, prioritizing platonic relationships, and challenging myself to go toward the sticky yet inextricable parts of what it means to live in community.

I am currently a date night sitter for a 4-year old and am both CPR and 1st Aid Certified. In terms of my care as a nanny/babysitter, consent, respect, and bodily autonomy are always present. My practice involves setting firm boundaries while allowing children to safely explore the world.

A little bit about me

Hello there! I'm a highly experienced nanny searching for a family to have a long-term working relationship with. In the last almost 20 years, I've gotten to hone my childcare skills as an in-home nanny, preschool aide, summer camp counselor, music teacher, and theater camp technician. Through this, I've found that I'm exceptionally gifted at helping neurodivergent kids and kids with special needs navigate their day to day, as well as building the trust needed to tackle bigger life transitions. My childcare philosophy is that parents and I are in collaboration to find creative solutions to problems and support a child's success while nurturing their confidence. I'm ideally looking for a family who's interested in having me grow with their kid as we celebrate their milestones together!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tatyana and I’m passionate about nurturing and supporting children in their growth. With over four years of teaching experience across grades K–8, I bring a strong foundation in education, child development, and classroom management to my role as a nanny. I hold a Master’s degree in Teaching and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which together have given me both the practical skills and deep understanding of children’s emotional and cognitive needs.
Im not only comfortable helping with homework and structuring enriching activities, but I’m also trained to recognize developmental milestones, provide positive reinforcement, and create a safe, engaging environment. I genuinely enjoy working with children of all ages and take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and their families. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and love for children into a home setting where I can make a meaningful difference each day.
