Hello! For the past 6 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working as a nanny, a role I am genuinely passionate about. With years of hands-on experience caring for children from a variety of backgrounds, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to adapt to all types of family dynamics. Building genuine connections with both parents and children has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my job, and I've gained valuable insight and wisdom along the way. As your nanny, I recognize that I’m stepping into a very personal part of your life. That’s why I prioritize honesty, open communication, and mutual respect—so we can work together to create a nurturing, comfortable, and consistent environment. Children are like sponges—they absorb the energy and behavior around them. It’s important to lead by example, and address any obstacles with compassion, positivity, and patience. Every kid deserves a warm, enthusiastic, and Read more attentive caregiver to guide them through life’s important moments. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children. I’m also confident managing multiple children at once. Pets in the home? Always a bonus! Additionally, I am happy to assist with light housework, cooking, and transportation to and from extracurricular activities. Your family’s routines and preferences are important to me—I will always respect your parenting style and household rules. If there are any concerns, boundaries, or preferences, I’m here to listen and adapt accordingly. I have several references from the wonderful families I’ve had the pleasure of working with through Sittercity, and I’m happy to provide their contact information upon request. I also have a detailed resume available if you’d like to learn more about my experience. Currently, I’m looking for a part-time or (preferably) full-time live-out position. I’m based in Brooklyn, but am open to commuting if we’re a great match! Feel free to message me if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! 💕

Gretta has become a part of our family. She’s provided such great care since my daughter was 1 1/2 years old. If it wasn’t for my daughter starting school, I would have kept her! She’s played a vital role in teaching her alphabets, numbers, colors, shape and a lot more than I could have even asked for! Shes kept my daughter involved and entertain with different activities, time at the park and even story times at the local library. I recommend Gretta for all nanny/babysitting needs!

Gretta has been babysitting my daughters (the older one is 3, and the younger is 9 months) for over a year, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. My older daughter ADORES her and is always asking me, "When is Gretta coming over again?" She is extremely professional, kind, organized, intelligent, fun, creative, and energetic. She is reliable and trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and always leaves our house cleaner and more organized than when she arrived. She is hard-working and really puts effort into coming up with fun games, art projects, and activities to do with my girls. She is also fully fluent in both English and Russian so she teaches my English-speaking daughter words and phrases in Russian. She is an exceptionally warm and caring person who makes my daughters feel loved and cared for, and whenever she is with them, I hear constant giggling. I fully trust that they are safe and well taken care of under Gretta's care, and I cannot recommend her enough!
