A little bit about me
I am an educated and very active single woman without children or pets looking mostly for more on call, travel nanny or full-time work. Free time is spent leading a very healthy lifestyle cooking mostly organic Whole Foods, reading, exercising, attending different shows and spending time at parks, museums and cultural exhibits as well as traveling and volunteering.
I have teaching experience and extensive experience working as an on call nanny, travel nanny, baby nurse and full-time nanny in recent years and also as a babysitter throughout grade school, high school and college. I also have experience working at day care centers (for adults and children). I can send my resume, letters of recommendation and NY police check to you. Please note, I still presently work for the families who wrote reviews for me, but they had to choose an end date from the drop down menu.

"I hired Camille in July 2021 as a travel nanny and she came with us for two
weeks to Italy when our son was 18 months. Since then she’s worked days for us when we are in New York. We live in the UK so sadly she isn’t a F/T option for us.
Camille is an excellent nanny and exceedingly responsible.
Within minutes of meeting her, our shy son was happily playing with her on the floor.
I would trust her implicitly in my home and with my child. We were in a villa with a pool and
lots of stairs and we knew he was completely safe alone with her, including
swimming.
When it was too hot, she filled hours drawing, reading, etc.
She cooked him nutritious food.
She was amenable to what we wanted and needed each day and needed. When we didn’t need her, she was off doing her own thing.
She would be a great hire, esp for a family with busy parents or a single parent. She researches local activities and parks and always has a new thing to do. We were fortunate to find her."

"Afaf took care of my two kids , one of whom had special needs . As a mom I was relieved to feel someone loved and cared for our children and felt confident going to work everyday. Afaf was a part of our family and took care of everything related to our kids , she was organized, punctual and resourceful . She had to leave to another state to pursue her dreams and we wish her the best always."

"It is with great pleasure that I write in enthusiastic endorsement of Simona Conti as a childcare provider. She has provided childcare for my son since January 2017 when he was five months old to the present day. From the beginning, Simona has been an ideal caretaker: responsible, kind, nurturing, trust-worthy, and attentive. She has always met and surpassed our expectations of childcare from her steadfast reliability and punctuality to navigating changes in our child’s routine to building a genuine relationship with our son.
At each stage, she met our new suggestions and expectations for care: from warming breast milk bottles to playground safety to traveling on the subway. We have utmost trust that she will implement our family’s new practices and guidelines. She is always attentive to our child’s needs and reports her insights and observations with care.
Simona is friendly, kind, and energetic. Simona has been a beloved and outstanding caretaker for our son."
