Hello! My name is Joanna, I’m 27 years old and I’m excited to meet your little one(s). I would describe myself as attentive, caring, and very silly. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. I’ve worked with children quite some time now, I started when I was 17 years old. I’ve worked with many different families (short term and long term). I’m very flexible with schedules and I’m comfortable with pets. I worked full time as a certified nursing assistant helping the elderly and nannying as a part time but I realized I enjoyed being a nanny more than my full time job. That is when I became a 1:1 aide at a school. I enjoy working with children because I love to see them learn and grow and they’re always such happy souls. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

(I love cooking!) I am poised and presentable, but extremely down-to-earth and playful with a great sense of humor. I am confident and graceful at galas and country clubs, comfortable and joyful with my hands in the sandbox, fingerpaints, or homemade playdough! I can make a birthday cake that looks like your child and their favorite storybook characters or stuffies with just a plastic Ziploc bag. I can whip up an impressive costume with whatever is in the closet. I comfortably ride in cars with bulletproof windows and armed drivers, and comfortably ride the public transit. I have worked all over the world as nanny, governess, and ESL/English teacher (corporate sector, in-home, public and private schools including prestigious boarding schools serving high profile families). I have also taught children Italian and Spanish, and am a long-time dance instructor and children's theater professional. I practice yoga, and also hula-hoop, roller skate, bicycle, and swim. (I grew up in the desert and lived in the pool for heat survival!) I love trampoline, walking (especially as transportation), hiking, and being outdoors. I love singing and dancing with kids throughout the day, as well as cooking/baking, and creative expression via arts and crafts and storytelling. I enjoy volunteer work with chronically ill children, teaching them dance, drama, yoga, creative writing, and nutritional cooking. I have served other great organizations such as Special Olympics and Tunnel to Towers (serving the FDNY and US military families). I served at Ground Zero after the WTC attacks, an honor which allowed me to meet real-life heroes and learn about humility and humanity. I’ve been blessed with a richly diverse cultural experience, from inner city to royalty, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hasidic homes (kosher experience), high profile clients, and stay-home moms. I understand cultural sensitivity, boundaries, discretion, security and confidentiality.

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊😊

I enjoy working with children and supporting their learning and development through nurturing care and positive experiences in new environments with new friends. I love being silly and bringing joy through smiles and laughter. I'd love to learn more about this opportunity.

I am a Professional Career Nanny and a Newborn Care Specialist. I have been a nanny for precious children for over 20 years. I do not view my position as a job because I truly love what I do- provide nurturing care and love to children.

My approach with children is a tender, loving one in which the child can feel safe and nurtured. I attended community college classes for Early Childhood Education. I have preschool experience and I was the librarian at my son’s elementary school. I have experience in helping children with special needs. Children are the spice of life!!
