A little bit about me

Experienced, nurturing caregiver with 22+ years caring for infants/toddlers, including as a NYC nanny and daycare assistant for 8 babies in Henrietta. CPR/First Aid/AED certified. Calm and gentle, I build trust with children and parents through responsive, developmentally supportive care. I hold a French driver’s license and am working toward a U.S. one; my husband can drive me for now. I’m seeking a position with a baby who doesn’t require transportation during the day. My rate is $25/hr, reflecting both my experience and transportation costs. I pay my own taxes and cover all work-related expenses. I’m open to a nanny share or part-time roles with two families (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri with one, Tue/Thu with another). References available upon request after an initial conversation.

More About Me

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

Yes, I’ve worked as a teacher in a daycare setting, where I cared for a group of eight babies alongside another caregiver. It was a nurturing, structured environment where we followed feeding and nap schedules, encouraged early development through age-appropriate activities, and built strong bonds with the children and their families.

In addition to my professional experience, I occasionally help friends by babysitting their children when needed. Whether in a formal setting or a more relaxed home environment, I genuinely enjoy spending time with little ones and creating a safe, loving space for them to grow.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

The activities I enjoy doing with children really depend on their age and developmental stage.

With babies, I love bonding through feeding, holding, singing lullabies, and engaging in gentle play like tummy time, sensory toys, and reading simple picture books. I find those early moments so precious for building trust and emotional connection.

With toddlers, I enjoy going outdoors for walks, playground time, and nature exploration. I also love doing interactive indoor activities like music and movement, simple arts and crafts, storytime, pretend play, and age-appropriate learning games that help develop their motor skills, creativity, and confidence.

No matter the age, I’m always focused on creating a safe, joyful, and stimulating environment where children can thrive.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part about being a nanny is building a deep bond with the child and family. I don’t have children of my own, but I naturally have a strong maternal instinct and care for each child as if they were my own. Being able to witness a child’s growth, celebrate their milestones, and contribute to their development is such a gift. I’ve been blessed to work with wonderful families over the years, and each experience has left me with lasting memories and meaningful connections.

My experience with special needs children...

During my time working in a daycare, I had the opportunity to care for a child who was deaf. Although I don’t speak sign language, I learned a lot about how to connect and communicate through gestures, expressions, and most importantly—through love and patience.

While I don’t have formal training in special education, I believe that what matters most when caring for a child with special needs is creating a safe space where they feel seen, understood, and truly cared for. I’m always open to learning and adapting to meet a child’s unique needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was witnessing a baby take their very first steps. It was such a joyful and emotional moment, for both of us! Seeing their eyes light up with excitement and pride made me feel so honored to be part of that milestone.
