Meet Adaljisa Liza

  • Speaks Spanish
  • Comfortable with pets

My name is Liza Polanco, 53 yrs old professional nanny, with an abundance of experience with infant twins, toddlers, early and school age children.  In my career as a nanny (18 yrs) I have cared for 5 sets of adorable twins from day one of their return from the hospital . Before I made the change in my career I was a pharmacy tech at the VA Hospital and worked as a consultant for Pfizer. I am as hardworking as they come, very passionate about childcare as I have raised three children of my own to adulthood. Also, an avid animal lover, have five yorkies and two cats. Keeping up with little ones will be no problem as I'm still active, energetic with lots of creativity and knowledge to impart. I am firm but loving, fair and understanding. Will be respectful of parenting choices in the upbringing, care of children and I adhere to those wishes. Read more I encourage a child's curiosity, it stimulates their minds and encourages them to explore new things. I love to read daily whether at home or at the library from as early as infancy. I have always been one for encouraging stimulating educational and fun-filled indoor and outdoor activities in any environment.   I search for daily educated trips throughout NYC; the library, museum, child sing-a-longs in the parks (i.e: Madison Square Park 23rd St), aquarium and zoo's (Bronx & Central Park) I have visited nearly every great playground in NYC with the children I have cared for and they absolutely enjoy seeing new sites while walking throughout the city or just letting your child be adventurous but still safe under my watchful eyes - just to name few. I love for a child to be active and happy instead of sitting at home watching tv all day.  Lastly, I am fluent in Spanish and all the children I have cared for all have learned to communicate with me in Spanish.
