Meet Dhurata

  • Comfortable with pets

My name is Dhurata and I am currently looking for a full-time, live out position. I have a Masters Degree in Elementary Teaching issued in Albania. I have worked as an elementary school teacher in my country for more than 20 years. I also have a 24-year old daughter who I raised by myself with love and care. After moving to New York, I have dedicated my time in being a babysitter and a nanny. My experience as teacher has influenced me a lot in knowing how to communicate with children at all ages, helping them learn and grow. For the last 7 years, I have worked as a full-time nanny in Upper East Side, Manhattan; Downtown, Manhattan and occasionally in Astoria, Queens. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and teens. I am willing to prepare healthy meals, engage the children in fun activities that enhance their intellectual and social Read more growth. This includes taking them to playgrounds, to the library, tutor them, read stories, draw, etc. I love working with children as I am very caring and a cheerful person. I am responsible, trustworthy, reliable, and honest with excellent childcare and interpersonal skills. I have always collaborated with parents on the progress and development of the child.
