Hello! I am from Ukraine and have been residing in the states for 8 years now. Taking care of kids is more than a job to me; it is a commitment to be a helpful partner to parents + to invest in children, help them thrive in day-to-day situations and grow in character and excellence. I have worked with kids in non-profit organizations, as well as a nanny with 3 families (with 5 kids under five for 2 years, a little girl 8 months - 3, 5 years of age, a little boy 2-9 months). Currently taking care of a 5-months old girl. I love to combine taking care of kids (planning their schedules, making meals, organizing their spaces, homeschooling, styling them etc) with keeping home areas nice and neat. My clients are often business owners, so I learned and enjoy working with kids independently, if needed. I am trustworthy, a self-starter. Got BA in Teaching and MBA. I will be happy to be helpful to your family and become a valuable friend to your child!
