A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Josephine, but everyone calls me Josie. I currently work as a Medical Assistant in Pediatrics at Mount Sinai. I’m CPR certified and have years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages.

I truly love being around kids — their energy, creativity, and curiosity always brighten my day. In addition to my medical background, I’ve worked in a high school, an adolescent clinic, and an after-school program, where I helped with homework, supervised activities, and created a safe, supportive space for kids to thrive.

These experiences have given me a strong understanding of how to care for children both medically and emotionally. I'm calm, responsible, and nurturing, and I bring a blend of professional healthcare knowledge and genuine love for kids to every childcare role.

Whether it's keeping your little ones engaged, helping with schoolwork, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I’m here to support your family with warmth and care.

A little bit about me

I'm Vangie Roque, a Filipina who is a PR here in US. I have 2 kids - 31 & 25 whom i raised on my own as i'm a widow since 2003.
I've had various experiences taking care of children ages 4 months to 12 yrs. I have worked w/ a family w/ 4 kids, a nanny for 1 yr old girl, a nanny for 1 yr old boy, a nanny for 2 yrs old boy w/autism.
I'm looking for a nanny job w/ a family where my work experiences as nanny & volunteer for the past 10 yrs will have valuable application. My prior experiences in a similar capacity should help me in performing my duties, w/ a high level of efficiency.
Taking care of children has always been my passion, it is my best interest to interact with kids. One of the great learning i have acquired from being a Nanny is to always make sure that the children feels your sincere concern & affection & that you always have an open communication w/them regardless of their ages. My goal is to help you raise your children the best way possible and to treat them as my own.
