Hi! My name is Debbie, and I am a professional nanny here in New York City. I love to play games and sing, dress-up and do arts and crafts, but most importantly, I love helping children learn and grow in a positive, fun environment. I am originally from Iowa. I am the youngest of 5 girls and the blessed aunt of 9 great nieces and nephews. In 2017 I married my husband and we welcomed our daughter in August 2019. I found my love for childcare at a young age and have been working in the field for 21 years. After graduating from Iowa State, I moved to New York City and became a full-time nanny. For the past nine years, I have had the pleasure of working as a nanny and now tutor for a wonderful family with two amazing girls. The girls were ages 1 and 3 when Read more I began the position as their full-time nanny, and they are now almost 11 and 13. For the past two years, I have worked for another amazing family with a 5 year old boy who will begin Kindergarten this fall. My daughter comes with me on my role as a nanny and tutor, and it’s been wonderful to see the bond that has formed between her and the children I care for. Along with caring for children, I also help with household tasks like laundry, errands and light housekeeping. I prepare healthy snacks and meals and assist with reading and homework. I have experience potty training, teaching children to read, etc. Teaching and practicing good manners is a priority of mine. I like to use games and charts to positively encourage the children to reach these milestones when appropriate. In the past, I have loved taking the children on fun educational outings to the park, museums, zoo, play dates, but I know that Covid has changed this a bit. My family has made taking precautions to stay healthy and safe a priority. We practice social distancing and always wear masks. I enjoy using my creativity to come up with age appropriate activities that will engage children and help them learn and gain knowledge of their surroundings. If you have any questions for me, I would be more than happy to give you further information. I look forward to meeting you!
