Hi there! I am a mom of a 4.5 year old girl, have been nannying and babysitting for the past 3 years full time and I am also a licensed art educator. I have worked with kids of all ages and am 39 years old so I’ve been around a long time and know exactly how to handle any situation that may arise. I am a kid at heart as well and love to engage in play, art making, nature, and general fun :). I have been in many homes and can easily learn the way you and your family and home operate. If I’m nannying, my 4.5 year old can come with me and she makes a great play mate. If I’m babysitting at night she would not be with me. She is in preschool and will be in kindergarten next year so she will be in school during school hours. I am a nature enthusiast and know a lot about plants and animals and I am always down to do crafts! I am passionate about getting to know each child individually and help them thrive. I will follow all of your routines and keep things as seamless as possible. I am kind, compassionate, emotionally intelligent, fun, and practice gentle parenting but have firm boundaries and do not practice permissive parenting. I am fond of turning things into a game or a song to make things go smoothly. I have worked in public school and a nature homeschool program and have worked with babies through high school. I understand being nervous about leaving your child with someone else and can assure you that I’d feel safe and comfortable leaving my daughter in the hands of someone like myself. I have formed deep friendships with the kids and families I have worked with over the years and they would be happy to speak with you if you need a reference! I hope to meet you and your beautiful family some day and to help take care of the most precious person in your life.

I truly love babysitting because I find immense joy in helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and cared for. Each child has their own unique personality and needs, and I love being a part of their daily discoveries and routines. It is a very rewarding experience to build strong, positive bonds with children and their families. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. Over the years, I have worked in a preschool setting, and have worked with families both full-time and part-time, providing not only supervision but also engaging in creative play, educational activities, and outdoor fun. I am comfortable managing mealtime, naptime, and bedtime routines, and always focus on creating a warm and welcoming environment. Nowadays, i work as nanny and babysitter around NY. In terms of skills and training, I am CPR and First Aid certified, very organized, patient, and responsible. I also speak Portuguese and English, which can be great for bilingual families! Whether it is for one-on-one meetings or regular weekly help, I am happy to support your family in any way you need. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"As a babysitter, I have provided attentive and nurturing care for children of various ages, ensuring their safety and well-being while engaging them in fun and educational activities. My role involved preparing meals, helping with homework, and creating a structured yet flexible routine to meet each child's needs. At Bright Horizons, I worked as a teacher, where I utilized my CDA certification to develop and implement age-appropriate lesson plans that fostered a love for learning. I focused on creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment, encouraging children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. My experience at Bright Horizons has equipped me with strong communication and organizational skills, as well as the ability to work effectively with children and their families." “I’m currently working in Bright Horizons at Poughkeepsie as a lead teacher in infant and preschool classroom”

In my job people would ask me what interests me working with children. It's because working with children can be incredibly rewarding, as it involves fostering growth, sparking creativity, and building meaningful relationships, all while making a positive impact on young lives. I find immense joy in helping them learn and grow.

I am a compassionate sitter with a degree in teaching that included childhood development courses. Over the past few years I have spent my time working in the medical field in geriatric care but would like to return to nannying so that I can purse more education. In my free time I enjoy a very fulfilling volunteer work as well as hobbies like Pilates and baking. I am also CPR and first aid certified. I am skilled at meal prep and diaper changes and own a vehicle. I am excited to help support your families needs.
