A little bit about me

My name is Emilia Lopez I´m 21 years old. From San Juan, Argentina living in Novato, California like and au pair but I really want to move to New York.
I studied psychology and that’s helped me a lot to understand kids development.
I'm the oldest of 4 sibling (3 brothers and 1 sister). The youngest is only one year old and I love him so much. Watching how is he growing up without me is a little sad but I'm so happy here that I haven´t feel homesick, at least not yet.
Talking about my childcare experience I used to help my parents driving my siblings and cousins to their activities.
I have 11 cousins, I'm the oldest too. All of them know I will always be there for them, even their parents trust me and ask me for help taking care of their kids. And thats something I really appreciate, every time that someone trust me with the most important part of their life means a lot. Because of that I want to thank you for letting me take care of your kids. I promise you, you won't regret.
Another experience I have is helping teachers with their students in a English institute.
And my last one, with my two lovelies girls. Mackenzie, she is 8 years old and Kennedy who is almost 6 years old.
I always love working with kids because they teach me a lot, they make me want to be a better person.
If I look backwards I realize how much I change not only talking about my childcare experience. Being an au pair tougth me how to see the world with others eyes.
I've always been patient, helpful, responsive, open minded and independent but since I'm here I see that I’m improving all of those qualities.
I'm not ready to go back home because I know I have so much more for learn, improve and I would love to do it with you.

A little bit about me

Hi everyone! My name is Mia and I am 21. I am a recent graduate from Ohio State where I majored in Fashion and Retail Studies. I am from Cleveland, Ohio, but recently moved to NYC. I come from a big family, and have done part time babysitting and nannying for 10 years. I love coming up with fun activities to do with the kids I watch and making the experience fun for them. I treat every child I nanny as my own family member and care for them greatly. I would love to chat more if I seem like I could be a good match for your family!

A little bit about me

I’m Thabata! I’m a warm, patient, dependable, and energetic caregiver who loves helping children feel happy, supported, and comfortable being themselves.

I’ve cared for children ages 1–14 & newborns, including overnight care, and enjoy creating fun, engaging days filled with outdoor adventures, trips to the park, reading, crafts, games, and plenty of dancing! 💃 I’m always happy to be a little silly and encourage children to explore, learn, and use their imagination.

I wear a cochlear implant and a hearing aid, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of making everyone feel included and understood.

I’m also getting CPR and First Aid certified later this month. I hope to be a dependable partner for families by providing thoughtful care, respecting each family’s routines and values, and giving parents peace of mind when they are away.

Most of all, I want to build a genuine connection with the children I care for and become someone they are excited to see! 💛
