"I met Arabia Benton through a mutual friend and she was completely awesome! She came into me and my children’s lives, when I was going through a difficult transition. From being a stay at home mom to breaking back into the business world. She was completely patient, understanding, nurturing, cheerful and I wish I could’ve taken her with me out the states when I moved! Arabia was with us for a total of about 5 years and also helped me welcome in my new baby girl, she deserves any job she wants! angelikanieves92@gmail.com"

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Over the years, I’ve worked in two different daycare centers, a summer youth program at the East Orange Recreation, and Bright Horizons. I’ve babysat for several people professionally and served as a full-time nanny during Covid. I now work within the public school systems and I’ve been taking care of nieces, nephews, and younger cousins since I was very young. So, I’m fully equipped with the tools needed to help take care of your little one.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts & Crafts, reading, dancing, and outdoor activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Building a strong, happy & loving bond between the kid(s) and the parents/guardians!

My experience with special needs children...

Through Bright Horizons, I’ve worked with children on the spectrum, with Tourette, ADHD, hearing disabilities, and cerebral palsy.
Now that I’ve been working within the public schools for the past few years, I’ve been assisting with the Autism and LD classrooms.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Greeting the kid(s) when I first get in and there so excited to see you returning.
