Hi everyone! My name is Esmina! I have over 7 years of experience in professional care plus a little over 5 years of my own as I have a beautiful daughter who just turn 5 in April. Before having my daughter, I was a mother’s helper to an awesome family in Long Island, NY. My position was a mix of everything! I picked up the kids from school, drove them to doctors appointments, play dates and extracurricular activities. I ran errands such as pharmacy trips and grocery shopping. I took the kids from the time they got home from school until bedtime as we had a solid bedtime routine. Laundry was done, folded and put away at least 2x per week as well. I love to cook so I made the family dinner every night and the kids loved it when I cooked! They also became interested and wanted to help me 😊. I enjoy what I do and love being around children… when you’re a parent they become your whole world. The mama bear instincts are there and I would care for yours as if they were mine! Look forward to meeting you!

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩‍👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old.

These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!
