A little bit about me

I have experience working for high-end families in New York City. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I have worked as a live in nanny with a family in the Upper East Side, taking care of children (1, 8) Monday-Friday. I led the introduction and 5-day-per-week practice of Spanish, with the girls achieving semi-fluency. Managed the schedules of the children, including the planning of engaging activities and driving or picking up from any events like sports and school. Executed light housekeeping, including laundry, vacuuming, and bedroom tidying. Helped with homework six days per week by having regular fixed hours to introduce discipline and fun incentives to finish. Coordinated weekend activities to support education and social skills. I supervised children while parents were on dates, business trips, and anniversary trips, with no safety incidents reported. Administer medicine as needed for pain, allergies, or fever. I have also been a preschool assistant teacher.
