Find a live-in nanny in New York, NY
Nanny Lane is an easy and safe place for finding live-in nannies
I am an American citizen, but I was born and raised in Ecuador, which has a family and community based culture. I have no official babysitting experience, because it is common for family members to take care of children in Ecuador. Over the last 5 years I have had cared for three toddler boy cousins. It comes naturally to make children laugh and feel motivated; as a result, my cousins always follow me around when I visit. I have tutor experience, and can help with homework.
I grew up without a T.V. and my younger brother and I enjoyed active creative play. We would create elaborate worlds in our living room and backyard that would entertain us for hours on end; something that I am still able to apply when playing with children.
I have work experience with children with or without disabilities or special needs.
I'm available any time.

My name Is Kahlia and I'm a committed childcare professional with a little over 5 years of Nanny experience. Over the course of my career I've had many wonderful experiences working with families of varying backgrounds and cultures. I enjoy getting to know each member of the family (pets too) and becoming a trusted member as well. My former employers would describe me as loving, flexible and creative. Rainy days don't stop the show! thats the perfect excuse to bake cookies, schedule a playdate or an afternoon trip to a museum. I also love to workout and enjoy cooking healthy meals and snacks! thanks so much for getting to know me a little, I hope we get to meet soon.
Best,
Kahlia
Christina is a warm, loving, and fun sitter. I have left my children with her since they were infants. They all love her and ask for her to come over. She is professional, and an all around joy to be around. I have always felt completely comfortable leaving my children with her, and knew that she could handle anything that came her way. I highly, highly, recommend Christina! - Stephanie
Christina is always on time (usually early) and takes great care of the kids. They always enjoyed the time they spent with her. She follows all directions we give her for bedtime routines and things like that. She also loves snuggling the pets. - Katie
