Valentina N., Child Care in Shrub Oak, NY 10588 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.

Leah S., Child Care in Shrub Oak, NY 10588 with 9 years of paid experience

Hi! Over the years, I have developed a strong passion for working with children. For 7 years, I was a volunteer baton twirling coach; teaching girls ages 6-18 how to twirl and eventually bringing them to local and state competitions to compete. For three years I was employed as a Teaching Assistant in an Early Childhood Center, working with children nine months to five years of age. I have also worked in a therapeutic school, where I received ABA therapy training. Along with this, I have been babysitting since 2016 with children ages five months to thirteen years old. All of these experiences, along with tutoring, camp counseling and working in a research lab studying child language disorders, have helped to show me my love of working with children; leading me to pursuing a career as a Speech Language Pathologist. I just received my masters and am currently completing my clinical fellowship.

Hi and welcome!! My name is Mia and I am graduate of American University with a BS in Public Health. I not only love, but have ample experience in working with children from various age groups.

Astrid B., Child Care in Shrub Oak, NY 10588 with 3 years of paid experience

I come from a rather big family so I've always been surrounded by children. This has taught me that children will be children. They can be very unpredictable so you must know how to be patient and how to address given situations. I was currently working at a learning center in Pleasantville, NY. They care for infants to up to pre kindergarteners. My daily duties included creating engaging activities for the children in order for them to develop social skills and basic skills like knowing their colors and letters. Other duties inlcluded helping with the prepping of their lunch and snack. In this, they were taught basic table manners and table skills. I would make sure they always had plentiful of daily activities as so they could express themselves and be able to reach their maximum potential for their age.
