A little bit about me
I have lived in New York City for nearly ten years and have seven years of experience working with children in grades K–8 as a teacher and Special Education Coordinator. I care deeply about the children I work with and always go above and beyond to support their academic, emotional, and behavioral needs. I also believe in strong communication with parents and caregivers so everyone is on the same page about how to help a child grow and feel supported. I love building warm, positive relationships with kids and creating a safe and structured environment where they can feel confident, curious, and happy. I am excited to bring that same care and attention to working with a family as a nanny.

A little bit about me
Hello!!! I’m Mica, a cheerful girl from Sweden! I have a rich background working with kids, which has given me a lot of experience and joy. Recently, I quit my job as a swim instructor (to relocate to the us), where I’ve had the pleasure of teaching children of all ages, from young beginners to confident swimmers. This role has honed my skills in creating engaging and educational activities while ensuring a safe environment for the kids.
I´ve also loved babysitting my cousin’s little ones and the kids of family friends, so I’ve got a knack for keeping things fun and organized. I’m a social, outgoing, and positive person who gets along with just about everyone. Whether it’s playing games or helping out with daily tasks, I’m ready to bring my enthusiasm and responsible nature into your home.
