Hello families! I'm Norma, a dedicated and nurturing nanny with over 20 years of experience in providing exceptional care to children aged 0-15. I am leaving my current nanny family of twin girls that I've cared for about 2 years, as they are moving to another state. Previously I cared for 2 children for 6 years due to full time school enrollment. I've helped families with schedules, sleep training, drop offs, and potty training. With my daycare/preschool child development knowledge, I have also helped the children transition to a school setting, like teaching them their alphabet to teach them how to write their names. I also taught them spanish as I am bilingual. I am passionate about creating a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive. My approach is warm, patient, and attentive, ensuring each child’s unique needs are met with love and understanding while also making learning fun. Read more I started babysitting at 15. During high school, I volunteered at Christopher House pre-school as a teacher's aide for about 20 students. It was during this time that I fell in love with childhood development. I found it so rewarding learning all the fundamental elements to prepare children for kindergarten. During my first two years of college, I was lucky enough to work as a teacher's assistant and later as Head Teacher at a pre-school and daycare while also working alongside occupational and physical therapists during my time there. With the vast knowledge I acquired in a daycare setting (from learning the feeding schedule for a newborn, putting down a toddler, to teaching five year olds their abc's), I decided to move on to being a nanny. I went from following a curriculum to a more personalized schedule. Hopefully, you will consider me to provide care for your little one. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to reach out to me via sittercity messenger for any more questions. I'm comfortable with animals, but unfortunately, I'm highly allergic to cats.

Norma is fantastic. My kids love her and so do I! The house is always tidy when we return and my kids are sad to see her go. She has a very warm personality. She's very attentive and takes care to help our 11 month old be involved in the fun. We love Norma and hope to see lots of her in the future.

My 1 and 3 year old loved Norma. She had them giggling within minutes of walking in. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her after spending an hour or so watching her with them. When we got home we could hear her singing and playing with the kids and everyone was happy! Would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again very soon!

Norma was amazing! This was our first time using any babysitter, and we were nervous with handing off our newborn to a stranger. Norma was super professional and experienced but wrapped up in a kind and charming package. She arrived early to go over stuff with us and logged all her activity with the baby on a notepad. You can tell her pro training with this detailed log and the age specific activities she engaged in with our baby. She also sang to and carried our baby a bunch. The icing on the cake is that she was both flexible and understanding when we were running late on our date and needed to extend the time.

Norma was wonderful. She is very warm and it's clear she has a real gift with little ones. I was very impressed with how she jumped right in, and my baby was so comfortable with Norma right off the bat.
