Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

Medina (Dee) has been our overnight baby nurse for over a month now and my husband and I could not be happier with the experience we've had. Dee is the most knowledgeable, nurturing, authentic caregiver I've worked with to date. I have felt so at ease knowing just how extensive her experience with newborns (and just children in general) is. She has taught us so much already about easing our baby's fussiness, newborn routines, and now sleep training which is a really important thing for us. On top of that, the genuine love and adoration she shows my baby is so wonderful and rare. Dee goes so above and beyond - she texts me every day to ask how how the baby is doing and even though this is my second child, I find myself asking her tons of baby-related questions nearly every day because I genuinely trust her advice and opinions. I was nervous to work with another baby nurse due to a not-so-great experience with someone with my first baby. But Dee is truly one of a kind and now I'm not sure how we will live without her!! She totally respects my role as the mother, is never pushy but always offers guidance, and is just a "real" and warm person in every respect. As a mother herself, she just gets it. I could go on and on about how fantastic Dee is, and I'd recommend her a thousand times over to any parent who is looking for an incredible newborn/baby caregiver and specialist.

Hello parents! My name is Azia and I'm 28 years old. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and have over 10 years of experience working with and caring for children. The age ranges I've cared for is 2 months to 14 years old. When caring for younger children, I engage them in imaginative play, teach the the basics such as sight words, colors, numbers, etc., help them with emotion regulation, take them to the park, library, etc, read to them and anything else that made them happy/ the parents would like me to do with them. When caring for older children, I take them to their extracurricular activities, assist them with homework, offer them a listening ear (if they're interested), and anything else they may need help with. I have my own vehicle so transportation will never be an issue. I'm currently running my own private practice part time so looking for something part time or full time Friday and Saturday. I look forward to connecting with you :)

I hired Azia as a nanny to assist with care for my 2 year old daughter and 8 month old son. It was a really difficult time for me as I was just returning to work since having my son. Azia was heaven sent & really helped alleviate alot of pressures at that time. First the kids loved her. It’s always a nerve wracking experience completely trusting someone new with your children but Azia put any worries I had to rest. She was extremely gentle, and caring. She was also extremely professional & possessed alot of knowledge on child developmental stages. She would always read with my daughter, play educational games with her, teaching her to say new words etc. It was incredible to see my daughter’s growth during the year & half spent with Azia. With my son, she continued lots of tummy time which helped my baby to finally start crawling ( he was a late crawler!). The kids adored, she invested alot into their development & genuinely cared about them. My husband got a job offer in another state so my family moved to out of NY, so unfortunately we had to terminate with Azia. Azia was such an amazing nanny to experience for both me and my kids. I completely recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny for their children. Thank you so much Azia for all you have done for me and my family.

I am a professional nanny with many years experience with infants, young children and teens. For many years I was a stay at home mom, but now my children are getting older and independent. I have a joyful home that I share which my husband almost 30 years and my son 21 in college, and my daughter 16. I loved being home which my children and aside from my affection for them, I have gained a wealth of knowledge in health and welfare. I am a very responsible loving and conscientious caregiver. The safety of children in my care is most important and essential. I have nurtured babies, feeding, diapering, bathing and all manner of care. I have safely driven children to and from school, activities and outings.I have kept complex household schedules, prepped and cooked delicious and nutritious meals, and cleaned up. I have helped out with pets, run errands, gone grocery shopping, laundry and light house keeping. Actives I enjoy doing with children are all about being physically active outdoors, hiking on trails, exploring nature, playing in creeks and going to the beach, pool, zoo, or just playing at the playground. It’s great fun making couch forts on rainy days and baking cookies. Being creative with crafts and painting works of art for quiet time activities. I try to encourage responsibility in children by having them help clean up their toys and seeing the value in being a good helper. I discourage screens and encourage books. I love reading to children and teaching them about the world. Mostly I strive for FUN! I have a special needs child and I have spent many years in specialized therapies. I have developed a very intuitive and sensitive nature in dealing whith my child’s disability. It has been the center of our lives 24/7. I understand the patience and nuance that is required when working and striving for important developmental milestones. I have completed two parent training courses at The Yale child Study Center, New Haven.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Chrysa as our nanny. From the very beginning, she brought so much warmth, patience, and genuine care into our home. Chrysa was not only loving and attentive with our daughter, but she also made every day fun and enriching. Whether it was reading together, outdoor walks around the neighborhood, or simply the way she always listened with such kindness, our daughter absolutely adored her. Chrysa has a natural ability to connect with children, and it was so reassuring as parents to know that our daughter was in such capable, nurturing hands. She was always punctual, communicative, and thoughtful — going above and beyond in ways we’ll always be grateful for. It’s clear she puts her heart into what she does, and it made a world of difference for our family. We can’t recommend Chrysa enough — she’s truly a gem, and any family would be lucky to have her!

When I was 12 years old I started helping my aunt with my little cousins and from there my experience with children grew. In high school I organized birthday parties for small children at a sports center. From there I worked at a day care teaching children ranging in age from infancy to school age, responsible for four to 10 children at a time. It was there that I fell in love with a family and became their nanny full time. At the time I started with them they had three children, ages 6 months, 2 and 4. With the family I was responsible for organizing their daily activities, driving them to preschool, activities, appointments, play dates, etc. Two years later I rose to the challenge as the family had another child. It was then that my organizational skills, my patience, and my passion for taking care of children expanded. I was not only a baby sitter for these children but became a member of their family. I describe myself as being energetic, compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated.

As one of the older siblings in a family of four, my experience caring for others started early, and it’s been at the heart of my life ever since. I’ve always been drawn to working with children. I spent two years as an elementary school teacher, where I gained real-world training in child development and classroom management. Since then, I’ve worked as a private tutor, supporting kids in both academic growth and emotional confidence. I’ve cared for children of various ages, including managing multiple kids at once, and I always strive to create a loving, compassionate, and positive environment where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. My CPR and First Aid certification is up to date, and I’m also a lifelong animal lover, so I’m always happy to care for pets too! I’m fluent in Spanish, which is my first language, and I enjoy bringing fun and good energy to every family I work with. I truly believe in the power of positive thinking and giving my best in everything I do. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and provide care you can feel confident about!
