Kader S., Child Care in Cross River, NY 10518 with 7 years of paid experience

I worked full-time with six different lovely family and 8 splendid children -two baby-for seven years both in San Francisco and Istanbul, Turkey. I am a university graduate. I have experienced to teach and also learn a lot from children with love, respect, happiness and adventure. I love to take care of babies and children because I had beautiful and unexplained days that I get to witness: the first smiles, the small conquests of crawling, the big smiles, the unconditional love they show in every discovery. All these were extraordinary special to me. During my experience, I also performed light housekeeping, including cooking,and laundry for family. I managed the schedules of children including picnic, walk and play on the parks. Please feel free to contact with me. I can share my references information or recommendation letter. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful day :) Note: I am full vaccinated and boosted

Kader cares for our 5 month old infant. She is extremely attentive when caring for our son, always playing with him and engaging him. She always has a warm, calm, and pleasant attitude and we can really tell that our son responds well to her. We feel confident that our son is happy, safe, and well cared for with Kader. Kader is also extremely professional, responds to communications in a timely manner, and has been fantastic to work with overall. We would highly recommend her.

Hi, I'm shelly. I'm 28 years old and currently a nursing student. I have some availability in my schedule and decided to get back into nannying. I've been off of Sittercity for a couple years, hence my bare profile! But I used to babysit/ nanny kids ranging from ages one and up for years. I also have references available.

Valentina N., Child Care in Cross River, NY 10518 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello everyone, My name is Valentina, and I am originally from Colombia. I am bilingual and speak both Spanish and English. I have four years of experience working with children and families. My first year was spent working as a psychologist in a hospital, where I supported children and adolescents and gained valuable knowledge about child development, emotional well-being, and family support. During the following years, I came to the United States as an Au Pair and had the privilege of caring for children in American families. This experience allowed me to learn about American culture, strengthen my English skills, and develop meaningful relationships with the children and families I worked with. I am currently continuing my education in the healthcare field and remain passionate about child development. I believe that play is one of the most important ways children learn, communicate, and express their emotions. Through play, I enjoy helping children develop their language skills, creativity, confidence, and social-emotional growth. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and support your children’s growth and development. Thank you for your time and consideration. Valentina

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to highly recommend Valentina Neira Tamara, who served as an au pair for our family from July 2023 to April 2026. During this period, Valentina has been an invaluable part of our household, providing exceptional care for our children and supporting our family in numerous ways. Valentina has been responsible for the daily care of our 3 boys (Vincent-10, Anthony-7 and Joseph-3). Her duties included preparing meals, organizing educational and recreational activities, driving them to/from school, sports, religion school, putting the baby down for naps, assisting with homework, and ensuring the children’s overall well-being. She has always approached her responsibilities with the utmost professionalism, attentiveness, and passion. One of the most notable qualities of Valentina is her genuine affection and concern for our children. She has a natural ability to connect with them, creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Our children have thrived under her care, and they have developed a strong bond with her and love her dearly. She is patient, kind, and consistently maintains a positive attitude. In addition to her childcare responsibilities, Valentina has also assisted with light household chores, including laundry, tidying up the children’s play areas, and meal prep (including cleaning and putting away dishes). Her willingness to go above and beyond has been greatly appreciated. Valentina is highly reliable and trustworthy. She has always been punctual, and we have never had any concerns about her judgment or integrity. She has demonstrated excellent communication skills, both with the children and with us as parents, keeping us informed of any issues or concerns and working collaboratively to address them. She consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic. In summary, Valentina has been an outstanding au pair and nanny, and we feel very fortunate to have had her as part of our family. Her dedication, warmth, and professional demeanor make her an excellent candidate for any childcare position. We are confident that she will be a tremendous asset to any family she works with in the future.

Aarin was fantastic! She had a really calming presence with my daughter and seemed caring but professional. When I got home the house was tidier than I left it and my daughter was all smiles. Aarin was really prompt and clear in all our scheduling communications, which I appreciated. Definitely recommend!

We recently had Zach babysit our 16-month-old son, who is still learning to walk and currently going through separation anxiety. Zach was very transparent from the beginning that he didn’t have much experience with younger toddlers, which we really appreciated. Even so, Zach approached everything with such a calm, patient, and positive attitude. Our son is definitely not the easiest little one to watch at this stage, but Zach handled things thoughtfully and was very communicative throughout the experience. He asked great questions and was genuinely eager to learn and understand how to best care for our son. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Zach and would absolutely reach out to him again for babysitting in the future :)
