Dear Family, Hello. I have worked as a professional nanny for 7 years and am currently seeking a full time or part time position. Currently, I am a nanny for a family in South Nyack, NY and take care of a 5 year old and  1 year old boys. Their grandmother will be taking over care and this is why I am seeking a new nanny job. Prior to this family, I worked with two families and started with the families when their children were newborns. I believe that my love of working with children was born from helping my mother with the children she took care of at our home when I was growing up. I began babysitting at the age of 12 and eventually became known as our neighborhood babysitter. I had watched children that were newborn to age 12. At the age of 25 I continued my Read more love of childcare and became a professional nanny. It is my belief that all children deserve to be loved, protected and respected as individuals. I feel that my most important job is to teach them to make good choices for themselves. I think that this is most effectively accomplished by working with the parents as a team to provide clear boundaries and rules of acceptable behavior. Communication and consistency are vital components in this relationship. Positive reinforcement is my preferred method of behavior modification. However, when negative consequences are called for I will use discussion, redirection, time-out and loss of privileges. I consider myself to be firm but fair in my dealings with the children in my care. As a nanny, I would be part of the family team providing for child's emotional, physical, educational, social and recreational needs. Being a nanny is not something taken lightly: it is a profession unlike any other. I started my journey in the field 15 years ago and have had the privilege of working with two wonderful families in  New York and currently, the family in South Nyack. I have taken college classes in early childhood. I stay up to date with the latest childhood developmental theories, educational toys and by reading relevant books and magazines. I belong to the Nanny Alliance of New York and New Jersey. Through this group I have had the opportunity to attend seminars and also network. The nanny profession is most perfectly suited to my interests, abilities and temperament. I hope this letter has given you a better insight to who I am. I am sincerely looking forward to speaking to you.

Trust & safety
