I just moved here last year from Cleveland OH, I am going to be a junior in college but doing it remotely. I have very flexible hours and I am very good at communicating with parents. Since I was a young girl, I have always been babysitting/care taking for my neighbors, cousins, siblings and more. In Ohio I was a nanny for 2.5 years for 3 children. I was able to take them to any places, appointments, practices, and more that they needed to be at. I also had to cook meals, prepare snacks, help with homework and more. I loved taking the kids I took care of to the park, on walks, or really anything that they wanted to do. Since being in NY I was the Nanny for a family with a 5 and 7 year old. As well as a Nanny for a family with a 6 month old. I am CPR certified and I am studying to be a Physical Therapist at the time. Id love to meet in person or over the phone to discuss more and of course meet you and your child.

I am a 37 year-old early childhood teacher from Chile. While studying during college, I spent a summer babysitting for a family whose mother needed assistance watching a 2 year-old while caring for her newborn. I was responsible for clothing and feeding the child and enjoyed doing some activities with him. I worked in my home country following my studies as a rural public school teacher for a year and a half. My nine students ranged in age from 4 to 6. After that, I came to the United States under a work visa to work as a Spanish teacher in a private school in Massachusetts for one year and a half, developing activities for toddlers. After I finished my contract with the school, I worked as a babysitter for infants and toddlers. Until I moved to the United States (March 2024), I taught in a Catholic school. I worked there for 7 and a half years as a Pre-K and Kindergarten teacher. I managed a class size of 34 students with a co-teacher. I did remote teaching during the pandemic and am comfortable leading online classes. I love storytelling. I took online classes in storytelling and it is one of my student’s favorite activities. I really enjoy singing and I believe that it’s a great way to release stress and an amazing tool I have used in my teaching. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

I am a graduate student at Russell Sage College studying Nutrition and Dietetics. My school schedule only allows me to babysit on weekends and potentially one day per week (dependent on the semester and day of week). I adore spending time with kids and I have a significant amount of experience in childcare over the last several years. I nannied for a family with a child with down syndrome and have experience as a live-in nanny in Italy. The Italian family had three children, ranging in age from 2 to 8. I have babysat and nannied for several other families as well. I have also spent many years volunteering in a kindergarten classroom and in my free time I worked as a substitute teacher. I love to do crafts, get outdoors and exercise, as well as spending time with animals. I look forward to hearing from you!
