I used to work for a public school district for many years. I have previous experience working in the infant/toddler room and school age children at La Petite Academy Daycare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which I believe is a plus point, since handling children requires a sitter to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. I am able to drive children to school and accompany them at medical appointments. I am well-versed in performing housework related to childcare, including washing clothes, cleaning up after meals, and tidying up play areas. I don't mind planning and preparing nutritious meals for children according to their tastes and nutritional needs. I enjoy playing with children and helping them develop skills by creating a stimulating environment. My goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for children. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I don't mind pets at all!

I have been an elementary school teacher for the past three years, worked for almost a year at a pre-school, as well as with infants and toddlers for almost 7 years in a church nursery on Sundays. I just graduated from Columbia with my Masters in Social Work. For my undergrad, I graduated from Duke, with a major in History, and a double minor in Education, and Psychology. I have babysat infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary aged children for years. I am responsible for taking care of their physical needs, including changing diapers, playing with them, as well as preparing snacks and meals. I love to get on the floor and play, as I am not a person who just sticks kids in front of the TV. I have helped with play dates, pick-up and drop-off at school, transported kids using the subway and bus, as well as taken kids to the park. I have also worked in an after school and summer camp for a little over 3 years, working with students in K-5. I taught swimming, tennis, and created art and craft activities for the campers. I am a very energetic person, and I am great with kids. I play tennis, and I am an excellent swimmer. I have my CPR and First Aid certification, as well as Lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certifications. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I have references available on request.

Hello and Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience, I am a passionate and reliable nanny seeking a long-term position with a loving family. My journey in childcare began when I started watching my grandson on weekends while my daughter-in-law worked, and I quickly discovered this was my true calling. What started as helping family has blossomed into a fulfilling career that brings me immense joy every single day. ## Professional Qualifications & Experience I am certified through the Child Care Aware program with the military, demonstrating my commitment to professional standards and quality care. My extensive experience spans working with children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage and adapt my caregiving approach accordingly, whether it's providing gentle care for newborns or engaging older children in educational activities. Safety and trust are paramount in my work. I have completed comprehensive state and federal background checks, as well as a current driving abstract, all of which I'm happy to share with prospective families. These clearances reflect my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. ## What Sets Me Apart I believe in making life easier for the families I work with, not just caring for their children. My services extend beyond basic childcare to include light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining organized, clean spaces. I understand that parents have enough on their plates, so I take pride in handling these additional responsibilities to help create a smoother household routine. My approach to childcare is nurturing yet structured. I focus on creating engaging, educational experiences while maintaining consistent routines that help children feel secure and thrive. Whether it's reading stories, creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework, I tailor activities to each child's interests and developmental needs. ## References & Family-Friendly Approach I have excellent references from previous families who can speak to my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine care for their children. Many of my relationships with families have lasted years, which speaks to my commitment to building lasting, meaningful connections. I'm completely comfortable with pets and understand they're often
