A little bit about me

Hi! I just graduated college with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, and I'm looking for some work in New York City while I'm on my gap year (or years)! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or maintaining routines, I’m here to support your family’s needs. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping and meal prep. I’m looking for a live-in position with a warm, welcoming family where I can make a positive difference in your child’s life. I'm not currently CPR and first-aid certified, but I'm planning on becoming both!

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Clare!
I absolutely adore kids…truly I do! Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, cleaning up, taking them out, or tucking them in, I got it covered!

Next to caring for children, my passions lie in the arts. I received my associate's degree in Occupational Studies from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. I enjoy writing, singing, and basically any activity that allows me to have a creative outlet-one of the main reasons I've always loved being a nanny. I have worked with different families, in different countries, all who have different approaches in regards to their child's care; I am very adaptable and care deeply for the families I work with. I'm an all-in type of nanny, so whatever that means for you in regard to what you're seeking for support, I look forward to hearing from you and about your family :)

Warmest Regards,
Clare

A little bit about me

I became a caregiver because I always loved kids. I believe that every child can teach someone something. I love how they are opened minded, and I love the imagination they posses. I use to work for at a young age. Then when I got a little older I went to help out at a high school. After that I started in the food business but I have to say it's not for me. I miss helping my little ones with their homework and just asking them how was their day.

I currently work for the (DOE) Department Of Education. My job title is a paraprofessional. I've been working for the DOE for 5 years now.
