Hi, my name is Jenete. As a compassionate and experienced caregiver, I bring over five years of hands-on experience in both babysitting and child care. For two years, I worked in a medical office, where I developed strong communication skills and the ability to manage various responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. This experience has helped me remain calm and organized, even in challenging situations, while prioritizing the safety and well-being of those in my care. In addition to my professional work, I have been actively involved in caring for children from a young age, both through babysitting and growing up in a family with many children. This has given me a natural comfort and understanding when it comes to nurturing and attending to children's needs. I am skilled in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children, and I am confident in my ability to handle any situation that may arise with patience and care. Whether you're seeking help with daily routines, schoolwork, playtime, or simply ensuring your child feels loved and supported, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care. My background in healthcare and extensive childcare experience makes me a reliable and trustworthy choice for any family.

Hello! I’ve been working as a nanny for the last 6 years and I absolutely love it! I’m very passionate about my role. I’ve been fortunate enough to bond extremely well with every family I’ve worked with. Right now, I’m looking for either a part-time, or (preferably) full-time live-out position. I live in Brooklyn, but I do not mind the commute if we’re a good match! My goal is to keep your child safe, active, and excited to spend time together. I want them to feel comfortable with sharing their feelings and concerns with me. Together, we will figure out what works best for your child(ren) in order for them to blossom into the bright, wonderful person they’re meant to be :) Children are like sponges—they absorb the behavior and energy that surrounds them. That’s why I lead with calmness, positivity, and patience, giving their creativity, and curiosity a safe space to develop. Children give us the opportunity to relive our childhood and experience the world through their eyes. I learn from them just as much as they do from me! I have extensive experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. My background includes: Volunteering as a camp counselor Working a summer job at a daycare After-school pickups and tutoring Late-night babysitting for date nights Setting weekly schedules with families Temporary live-in nanny roles Traveling internationally to supervise children while parents attend social gatherings/work events I’m also comfortable with housework, cooking, and I am more than happy to take your child to any extracurricular activities. I will always respect your parenting style and will follow your household rules. I am here for support, and I believe that communication is key in order to run a successful household. I have numerous references from families I’ve connected with through Sittercity, and I’d be happy to connect you with them upon request. I am looking forward to connecting with you and being a part of this special journey.💗
