Meet Gretta
- Speaks Russian
- Comfortable with pets
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 Read more 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.💗

Gretta has been babysitting my daughters (the older one is 3, and the younger is 9 months) for over a year, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. My older daughter ADORES her and is always asking me, "When is Gretta coming over again?" She is extremely professional, kind, organized, intelligent, fun, creative, and energetic. She is reliable and trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and always leaves our house cleaner and more organized than when she arrived. She is hard-working and really puts effort into coming up with fun games, art projects, and activities to do with my girls. She is also fully fluent in both English and Russian so she teaches my English-speaking daughter words and phrases in Russian. She is an exceptionally warm and caring person who makes my daughters feel loved and cared for, and whenever she is with them, I hear constant giggling. I fully trust that they are safe and well taken care of under Gretta's care, and I cannot recommend her enough!
