A little bit about me
Hello! I’m Courtney! I’m 36 years old. I was born in Massachusetts, grew up in South Carolina, and have lived in NYC nearly 17 years! I’ve been described as bubbly, energetic, compassionate, and “always smiling”! I love to sing, read, a huge cinephile and lover of all music, and I’m a big animal lover too! My greatest passion in life though is caring for children!

A little bit about me
I'm an experienced and creative nanny with over 10 years of working with children. My experience spans from infants to toddlers, and I’ve worked with children with special needs, including autism. I’m passionate about using my creativity to engage kids through imaginative play, and I love singing to soothe and teach babies.
I have a background in early childhood education, CPR training, and I'm certified in aquatic safety by the Red Cross. I also have experience working with bilingual families and am fluent in Portuguese and English, with basic conversational Spanish.
I’m available to work in a regular schedule, and I prefer creating a calm, screen-free environment for the children I care for. My goal is to help them grow and reach their developmental milestones while ensuring they feel safe, loved, and entertained.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Molly.
I’m a very easy going person who can go with the flow of things. I have a great sense of humor and find it very easy to be silly and make kids laugh. I grew up with a sister with special needs so I am familiar with challenges that may arise anywhere at anytime. I’ve learned to calmly and affectingly solve problems while maintaining a positive attitude and always being a team player. I’m highly responsive to parents with videos and texts as well as any feedback they have for me. If there is nothing to do, I will find something to do. Weather it’s making a truck out of a cardboard box or playing hide and seek we find the fun. If there are tasks that are not so fun that have to get done I make a game out of it to make them fun! One of the most important things I convey to the parents is the importance of being on the same page and great communication. I enjoy working with children and they love playing with me too!

Nanny Micaela Belen
"I like that she’s very organized with kids. Nowadays, kids are given a screen and that’s it, no. She will play, sing, do puzzles, and draw with the kids. She’s very loving and very patient. My kids adore her. She sticks to a schedule so the kids will follow a routine. They have a certain hour for playtime, nap time, and for meals."
- Mary
Nanny Teresa
