Hi families! I am a dedicated, career nanny with 10 years of direct childcare experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to 8-year-old. My approach to childcare is rooted in creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where your kids can thrive, learn, and have fun. I am currently furthering my passion for children's health by studying Pediatric Polysomnography (Sleep Medicine). Because of this background, I bring a unique understanding of childhood development, healthy sleep hygiene, and nighttime routines to my nanny roles-making me excellent at establishing peaceful bedtime setups and healthy habits.

I am seasoned early childhood educator and caregiver passionate about providing high-quality childcare. Using developmentally appropriate practice, play and outdoor exploration are some of the activities I use when caring for children. I look forward to meeting your family's childcare needs!

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.

Hi families! I’m Victoria, a BLS/CPR-certified nursing student currently earning my RN, with the goal of becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Nursing is my third degree—I also hold a B.S. in Biology and a Master’s in Public Health from Columbia University. I have 3 years of paid childcare experience and over 10 years of experience working with children in educational and community settings. My childcare experience includes working in a daycare, teaching 3rd-grade science, and tutoring children of different ages. I’ve always loved creating an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, educational games, science experiments, homework help, and finding creative, screen-free ways to have fun. While earning my master’s in New York City, I developed an even greater appreciation for child development and the importance of positive, supportive relationships during childhood. That experience helped inspire my decision to pursue pediatric nursing and dedicate my career to caring for children and families. As a sitter, I’m kind, patient, attentive, dependable, and safety-conscious. I’m comfortable balancing fun with routines and boundaries while making sure children feel heard, encouraged, and cared for. I’m also happy to provide tutoring or additional educational support when needed. I have reliable transportation and drive a newer Volvo XC40, which I chose with safety in mind. I also understand that every family’s schedule is different, so I offer flexible availability, including early mornings, daytime care, evenings, and late nights. Whether you need regular support, help around your work or school schedule, or a dependable sitter for date nights, I’d love to be someone your family can count on!
