Hello! I am a retired Paraprofessional/Teacher Assistant with 20 years of experience working for the NYC Board of Education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and am also a proud mother of two. My driver's license is clean, and I am CPR certified. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience working with special needs kids. Patience, care, and nurturing are qualities I pride myself on. I have significant classroom experience as well as tutoring backgrounds. I have experience working with infants and toddlers. I have worked part-time at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to three years. I find this age group particularly fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoy working with these young children. I possess extensive experience in feeding and supervising their naps. The two-year-old stage is a critical period, during which they acquire communication skills and assimilate new knowledge. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets and can help with walking them if required. Currently, I am working part-time with two sisters, ages four and six. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, taking them to various activities, entertaining them, and preparing dinner when necessary.

I am a Professional Childcare Provider/Baby Homie and Artist because I am a fun-loving and free-spirited nurturer by nature. My professions are my passion and livelihood. I am athletic and I like to keep moving. I love smiling, singing, dancing, drawing, doing puzzles, building with LEGOs, teaching, playing games, reading books and taking walks. I can also make fresh baby food. I am a native New Yorker with New Orleanian roots. Coming from a family of artists of all sorts, I have a whimsical-creative style and personality. I am 42 years old, have no children of my own and I have a very flexible schedule. I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and First Aid/Child/Infant CPR trained and certified. I absolutely adore babies. I understand the difficulty and importance of finding trustworthy care for your baby. Babies are the best thing this world has to offer and they deserve more than just a human surveillance system. Hire a caregiver driven by love, who will engage and stimulate your child. I have over 15 years of experience with ages 0-13, I take pride in my work and the care I provide. I love being a Nanny and I do come highly recommended, with many eager references. Niecey ♡

Its been a long pandemic, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am your weekend backup to help you reset after a long week of being a superhero aka parent. I began working with children at the age of 15. I was a Counselor in Training at a sleep away camp. The following two years I worked as a Camp Counselor at the same camp. I began babysitting at the age of 18. I have worked with multiple families with multiple children. I currently work at a Dance Studio as the manager and instructor. The Dance Studio mostly caters to children between the ages of 2 through 14. I am currently certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both Adult and Pediatric. My experience makes me qualified but my personality is why I have such a great relationship with the kids. Babysitting has always been fun for me. Children are true little sponges that soak up everything. The things they say or do always manage to make my day brighter. Being younger allows me to truly enjoy my time with families. I love to go outside with kids play a little soccer, baseball, or basketball. Kids always love that I can teach them some dance moves. Although usually most kids just prefer me to read to them. I try to give every character in a book their own voice. I haven't had a bad experience sitting. The occasional meltdown is expected and I'm prepared to handle whatever is thrown mine way. References, a resume and a professional background check are available upon request.

Hi! I've been a nanny and babysitter for over 14 years, caring for children from just a few weeks old up to age 12. What started as helping out a co-worker occasionally has grown into something I've done alongside my professional life for over a decade-and I genuinely love it. Most recently, I spent 7 years with one Brooklyn family, caring for their son from age 5 through 12. I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities-whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration. I'm comfortable with: -Infants, toddlers, and older children (including multiples) -Special needs (including mild autism and mood disorders) -Doctor visits -Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs -Cooking, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help -Pet-friendly homes (I love animals!) I freelance & work remotely in sales and marketing, which gives me a flexible schedule. Whether you need regular care or backup support, my goal is to make your life easier and help your child feel safe, supported, and seen.
