Vanessa M.

Hi Parents.
My Name is Vanessa Mendez. I have been working as a nanny for several years, and am currently taking care of two three-year-old boys. Unfortunately, I am looking for a new full-time position. I love what I do and very much enjoy all aspects of child-care and the uniqueness of each age group. I am in my last year of college studying child psychology. As a nanny, I strive to gain a deep understanding of the cognitive, behavioral, and dynamic traits specific to the children I care for and use this knowledge to create effective, creative structures and activities. I am a hard worker who takes my professional responsibilities seriously and puts safety first. I am calm, caring, warm and reliable. I believe that energy, patience, communication and love are essential ingredients in the caretaker-child relationship. I try to involve the children I work with in dramatic play, age-appropriate language and math skills, reading, art, music, athletics, and any other activities the parents deem appropriate.  I have experience with Early Intervention protocols and developmental issues. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and have extensive knowledge of New York and its child friendly opportunities. In addition, I am adept at fixing healthy meals for all ages, and will do laundry and help around the house.

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration and look forward to hearing from you shortly.
