A little bit about me
I'm a compassionate and dedicated nanny with a passion for nurturing and supporting children's growth and development. With over 5 years of experience in childcare, I have honed my skills in providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for little ones to thrive in. I believe in fostering creativity, curiosity, and kindness in every child I care for, and I am committed to meeting their individual needs with patience and understanding. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy travelling, swimming, reading and working out but my greatest joy comes from helping children learn, explore, and discover the world around them. Being a nanny is not just a job for me it is something that comes naturally as I am a mother of two children myself. I don't only enjoy it but it's part of who I am not only as a parent but as a mother. I do have experience with special needs children too.

A little bit about me
I'm an Oregon girl living on the east coast. With a decade of experience working with children of all ages! I have a full-time job with the ODHS Child Welfare, remotely until I find a full time nanny position. Evenings and weekends, I nanny for an amazing family in the village, but as the kiddos are getting older, they’ll soon no longer need extra help. I've witnessed their growth, smiles, and laughter, and it's truly rewarding. Being there for important milestones is something I cherish. I truly believe nannying is what I'm meant to do, I just need the right opportunity. Both my parents are elementary teachers, and I spent a lot of time in the classroom in my early 20s. While I considered going into teaching, I feel that I can contribute my talents and values more effectively with a family. If you have any questions or need references, please don't hesitate to reach out!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Sokhna Ndiaye, I am 23 years old. I actually have a passion for working with children. This for me is not just in social settings but professional ones as well! I like experiencing joy with others, especially children. Being a nanny allows me to combine my strengths such as being the oldest child of 8, and using my life experiences
What I enjoy about being a nanny is being around children and their continued excitement/enthusiasm for life. I believe that children are able to hold adults accountable in ways that are very subtle yet powerful. I love the children will interact with you with a sense of self assurance and tell you what they want when they want it. Which of course can be balanced through appropriate caretaking. I like being a nanny because it teaches me about myself and areas that I should work on, not just in professional settings but with self all while assisting parents in accomplishing their daily goals and tasks as it pertains to their children.

A little bit about me
I am an enthusiastic, organized and experienced caregiver, currently enrolled in college. I'm looking for a full-time, live-in/housing provided position. In addition to regular babysitting, in high school I nannied for four boys ranging in ages 7-13 for nearly two years. Duties included: school pickup/drop-off, after school activities, meal prep and cooking, grocery shopping, laundry and keeping the house tidy. I later worked as a summer camp counselor at a camp for urban youth. Then for a full year, I was a full-time live-in nanny both on the Upper West Side and the Hamptons. I took care of an autistic 14-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl. I also helped with both in-person and remote school for both children. I have experience caring for newborns through preschool as well. I have a niece and two nephews that I also helped with during my time in NYC. While in school this year, I have worked as a tutor for underserved elementary aged children.

I have taught 1st Grade, and currently teach 4th Grade. I currently tutor many students, and would love to offer this as well over the summer hours that I am working with your children. This will be an additional fee but I’m willing to negotiate this into my salary. I currently am teaching in an Integrated Co Teaching Classroom with IEPs. I look forward to meeting you and provide a safe and fun summer for your children as their nanny!
