Valentina N., Child Care in Purdys, NY 10578 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.

Lori was amazing and our kids really enjoyed spending time with her and even asked for her to come look after them again which is rare. She is clearly a kind and thoughtful person and really engaged with the kids with through conversation’s and games and even brought some arts and craft projects which was a nice touch. With a high energy son and a more quiet and artsy daughter it can be a challenge to keep both entertained and Lori did this brilliantly. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need help.

Medina (Dee) has been our overnight baby nurse for over a month now and my husband and I could not be happier with the experience we've had. Dee is the most knowledgeable, nurturing, authentic caregiver I've worked with to date. I have felt so at ease knowing just how extensive her experience with newborns (and just children in general) is. She has taught us so much already about easing our baby's fussiness, newborn routines, and now sleep training which is a really important thing for us. On top of that, the genuine love and adoration she shows my baby is so wonderful and rare. Dee goes so above and beyond - she texts me every day to ask how how the baby is doing and even though this is my second child, I find myself asking her tons of baby-related questions nearly every day because I genuinely trust her advice and opinions. I was nervous to work with another baby nurse due to a not-so-great experience with someone with my first baby. But Dee is truly one of a kind and now I'm not sure how we will live without her!! She totally respects my role as the mother, is never pushy but always offers guidance, and is just a "real" and warm person in every respect. As a mother herself, she just gets it. I could go on and on about how fantastic Dee is, and I'd recommend her a thousand times over to any parent who is looking for an incredible newborn/baby caregiver and specialist.

Jamila is great, highly recommended! She is very sweet and professional. She was great with my 15 month old son, and she made us feel very comfortable leaving him with her. Safety is a top priority for her, and she was also very attentive to my son's needs. My son was clean, happy and even in a new set of clothes when we returned from our outing. She was punctual to the babysitting appointment, and she was also very understanding when we were running late getting back. There were absolutely no problems at all.

Valentina G., Child Care in Purdys, NY 10578 with 3 years of paid experience

Since I was young, I have loved spending time with children, doing fun activities, and discovering the world through their curiosity and spontaneity. I have previous experience working as a recreation instructor during school vacations in 2019 and as a classroom assistant at an early childhood education center in my home country, Colombia. In these roles, I cared for toddlers and preschoolers and helped organize fun and educational activities such as painting, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, karaoke, dancing, and games designed to develop their motor skills and teach important values. I also spent two years as an Au Pair, from 2024 to 2026, caring for middle school and high school aged children. During this experience, I enjoyed spending quality time with them through sports, cooking, board games, movie nights, and outdoor activities. In addition to these experiences, I occasionally babysit on weekends, which allows me to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would describe myself as caring, patient, responsible, and creative. I love finding activities that match each child’s interests and age, while respecting family routines and making sure children feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing reliable, loving care and to create a positive environment where their children can have fun, learn new things, and feel free to be themselves. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on!
