I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️

My name is Natasha Finkelstein and I’m a 19 year old from New York City. I’m currently a rising sophomore at Colorado College where I’m majoring in English. I am a lover of all things creative — writing, painting, drawing, music, movies, you name it. Through my years of experience with younger kids, I know how to balance my young, light-hearted energy with the responsibility and thoughtfulness that a caretaker needs to have. I have experience working with kids of all ages, from kindergarten to middle school but I’m happy to work with kids even younger. I like to build relationships with the kids I babysit for through fun activities like board games, arts and crafts, and baking. As a city kid I’m familiar with all the amazing places that young kids love to go. My favorites have always been the ice skating rink at Chelsea Piers, Color Me Mine, and the Museum of Natural History. I also am a huge animal-lover! I have a dog myself and I would be happy to take care of any pets.
