I've been taking care of newborns, babies as a nanny and as "baby nurse" for fourteen years. I'm a certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS). CPR and First Aid certified by the Red Cross. TDAP, flu, Covid vaccinated with booster (in October), with PROOF. Fluent in Spanish. Work history: ~ I've been working since 2008 caring for newborns and babies as a day time nanny, full and part time, live in and live out and night shift. ~ I’ve worked as Newborn Care Specialist ("baby-nurse") independently and for the Frances Stewart agency in day shifts, night shifts and also both, starting right when the baby comes home from the hospital. ~ Last job: February 2021- August 202. Baby nurse since baby was born ~ In both cases, as "baby nurse" and nanny, I fed and change the babies, put them down for naps, entertain them with music I bring with me, Read more singing and using their toys as instruments, motivate them to play, crawl, mainly have fun! ~ I also establish a schedule and a routine, specially sleep training them for night and day, necessary for the baby/s healthy sleep (longer than 45 minutes nap) because while they sleep is when their brain develops ~ I keep their toys and clothes in order, wash and prepare bottles (formula/breast milk),etc. ~ I handle colic and crying spells ~ I do baby’s laundry if there is a washing machine in the apartment/house, and (so sorry), I don’t do light housekeeping, my job is the baby ~ I’ve taken care of several set of multiples by myself and I had tons of fun doing it :) ~ I make sure the babies and I, both have fun, play and laugh a lot, otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this job A FEW IMPORTANT ITEMS: - I'm CPR/first aid certified by Red Cross. - I have several references, some written and some you can call (contacts after interview, personal or phone call) - I've studied two years of Communications in College back in my country of origin, Uruguay. - I'm fluent in English and Spanish. - I keep a log with daily schedule (feedings, naps, etc) - Beside the vaccines, I’m very, very aware of all measures to prevent coronavirus spread even if parents and I are vaccinated. - I live in Astoria.

Nancy helped me out with my 2 1/2 month old daughter for a few days while I started to put her on a schedule and put her on the bottle during the day. I ultimately decided to continue taking care of my daughter for a while longer for personal reasons but was very happy with my time with Nancy. She really made this difficult transition so much easier for me. Nancy seems to have an uncanny 6th sense when it comes to understanding what is going on with babies in particular. She had even managed to put my daughter down during the interview which I have such trouble doing still as a second time mother. She is amazing and trustworthy and super energetic and I highly recommend her.
