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
Hello! I am Ava, I’m a 22yo recent graduate from the University of Missouri with a masters in Photojournalism. I am located in the Upper East Side working an internship as a studio photographer right now, and am looking for live-in nanny positions starting in December or January.
I spent the summer as a wrangler at a summer camp in Rocky Mountain National Park leading groups of middle school girls on trail rides and multiday horse packs through the Rockies. I am super passionate about leading youth and teaching empathy and resilience through hands-on, immersive experiences. The camp I worked at was completely tech-free, and I believe strongly in the good that can do young people and have experience working in tech limited and free environments.
In addition, I have nannied and babysat for many years and coached CrossFit Kids for 6 years.
I am so excited to learn more about you, your family, and our potential together.

A little bit about me
Hello
I’m Sofia. I’m 20 years old. I came to the city to work hard. I’m the older sibling of 3: Josue (9 yrs), Matias (8yrs) and Emilia (8 yrs) so I could say I have multiple experience with kids from 0-9. I’m fluent in English and Spanish. I consider myself a really passionate girl, very artistic with a big heart.
I love kids and one of my biggest dreams is to become a mother in the future.
. I consider my best qualities to be: patient, empathetic, adaptable to any environment and good at fast and smart problem solving.
I’m a true believer that kids needs more off screen time and more activities that allows them to interact with the world around them and that help them develop creativity, curiosity for learning and love and care for others. This can be made with more activities with their hands: crafts, games, books among others. I feel like my creativity and my experience in taking care of my siblings will allow me to fill for every need a kid have. I’m happy to find a family.
