A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Lorena, and I live in Nutley, NJ. I have many years of experience caring for children, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I’m a warm, responsible, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with little ones.
I began working as a babysitter over 16 years ago and have cared for babies as young as 1 month old. I love playing, singing, reading, and creating fun and engaging activities that support children’s development. I always prioritize their safety and maintain open communication with parents.
I’ve worked long-term with two wonderful families. I was with the Hort family in Manhattan, NY for 11 years, caring for four children from infancy through school age. For the past 5 years, I’ve worked with the Kadosh family, where I have cared for two babies at the same time, starting from when they were just a few months old. Both families trusted me deeply with their children’s care, and we developed strong and lasting bonds.

More About Me

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

I have valuable and relevant experience caring for children of various ages. In my current position, I care for two toddlers who are now two years old, after having started with them as newborns. Previously, I also cared for their sibling starting at just three months old, alongside another baby of the same age. Both of them are now five years old. These long-term roles have allowed me to build strong bonds with the children and their families, and to develop key skills in early childhood care — including routines, emotional support, and developmental activities. I’m known for being nurturing, patient, reliable, and fully engaged in each child’s individual growth.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include reading stories, singing songs, dancing, arts and crafts, playing outdoors, and doing age-appropriate learning games. I love encouraging their imagination, creativity, and curiosity in a fun and safe environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a trusting and loving relationship with the children and their family. It’s essential to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported, understood, and encouraged to grow. Patience, reliability, and genuine care are key to making a positive impact in their lives.

My experience with special needs children...

While I haven’t specifically worked with special needs children, to me, every child is special and deserves all my love, attention, and care. I always approach each child with patience and kindness, creating a warm and safe space where they feel valued and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when the little one began to speak in my language, softly saying words like “agua” (water) and “arriba” (up), almost like a song rising gently in the air. Hearing those sweet sounds felt like a beautiful bridge between us, filled with music, laughter, and connection.
