A little bit about me

With over twenty years of experience in babysitting, I've cared for children of various ages, from newborns to 12-year-olds. I possess a profound understanding of organizing activities for children, feeding bathing, and ensuring they get a good night's sleep. Additionally, I am adept at changing diapers and attending to all necessary duties.

Apart from babysitting, my experience includes serving as an assistant Pre-K teacher and a religious education teacher. My criminal and driving records are spotless, and I hold Infant CPR and First Aid certifications. Furthermore, I am proficient in teaching primary sign language and up to year two of the in Spanish.

I firmly believe that caring for children goes beyond ensuring their safety and providing them with meals. It's about creating a supportive environment where they can learn, flourish, and thive. I am also capable of running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and handling light household chores and vendor management.

More About Me

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

With over twenty years of babysitting experience, I specialize in caring for children from newborns to preteens, focusing on infants and toddlers. My parents' and pre-K teachers' backgrounds have deepened my understanding of childcare. I have served as a professional nanny/sitter since 2018, with two long-term positions with HNW families.

I excel at managing essential routines like feeding, napping, and bathing, and I’m equipped to handle needs such as colic and teething. I maintain a clean criminal and driving record and hold Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid certifications. I am a non-smoker and teach American Sign Language and basic Spanish.

In addition to childcare, I can assist with errands, meal prep, light housekeeping, and household management. My current position caring for a 21-month-old and a 7-month-old will conclude in August 2025, as the family has opted for a recently available daycare spot. I also have received 20 five-star reviews on Urban Sitter.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I take great pleasure in engaging in a wide variety of age-appropriate activities with children, whether indoors or outdoors. I firmly believe in fostering holistic development, which encompasses not only physical and motor skills but also social and emotional growth, language and communication abilities, and cognitive advancement. By creating a nurturing and stimulating environment, I aim to support children in reaching their full potential in a well-rounded manner.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important aspect of being a nanny is creating safe and comfortable spaces that provide active and quiet play opportunities. Emphasizing the significance of building close relationships and recognizing the importance of structure, routines, and caregiving activities that promote connection and growth is essential.

Developing a collaborative relationship with the parents, including discussing nap schedules, is crucial for fostering a child's development. It is also important to acknowledge how culture and family influence a child's growth. Finally, establishing guidelines for open and effective communication is vital.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my most cherished moments as a nanny is receiving a heartfelt card from the families I work with, adorned with the tiny hand and footprints of the children. It's such a touching expression of gratitude and warms my heart.

Another favorite part of the journey is witnessing the incredible growth and milestones of the children in my care. Each achievement celebrates their progress from their first words and wobbly steps to learning to eat independently. These special moments remind me of the contributing impact I can have on their development, filling me with gratitude and joy.
