Hello, my name is Aurora! I have a lot of experience with infants and young children, and am eager to work with your family! For the past two years I've been nannying an infant who is now going off to daycare! In this position I gained experience in guiding an infant through all the major developmental milestones including transitioning from bottle-feeding to solids, creating a sleep schedule, first steps, first words, and all the other fun changes that come in those first couple years. I absolutely love working with this age-range and am pursuing a degree to become a perinatal psychologist so I can eventually work with parents and babies in a mental health setting. Outside of nannying, I just completed a two-year internship at Columbia University where I studied mother-baby psychology and attachment. This greatly informs my work with families and infants! I completed my B.S. in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara where I also worked as an assistant preschool teacher. In this role I worked in both infant classrooms and 3-to-5 year-old classrooms. I loved building rapport with the children and forming close bonds with the families! Outside of these roles, I also worked at the Brooklyn Autism Center with older children and have experience babysitting 4 to 5 year-olds. I'm happy to talk in-depth about any of these experiences! Outside of work and school, I love spending time outdoors and being creative! As your nanny, I would love to take your kiddos to the park and set up art activities with them! Thank you for your time and I'm excited to meet your family!
Hi! Thank you for taking a look at my profile! I graduated from NYU with my bachelor’s in Biology on the premed track. I now currently work as a research technician at MSK. I’m pretty new to this app, however I’ve had several years of experience caring for my younger sister along with other family members. I’m mostly open to part time/date night positions. I’m also available for tutoring and homework help particularly in the areas of math and science. If you think we’d be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Hi there! I have over 5 years of paid experience in babysitting. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Therapy and am currently working on my Master’s degree. I’ve always loved working with children from a young age and would volunteer at daycares which is when my interest first began. Growing up in a big family, and becoming an aunt at an early age I’ve always been surrounded by young children and the love of working and caring with children only continued to grow. Which led me to pursue a career in speech therapy, where I could continue to foster and help children grow. I know sign language in addition to English, and could help with all homework types. I’ve worked with children with varying developmental needs, such as children on the spectrum, children with learning disabilities or those with speech delays. I am great with play time, crafts, and overall entertaining the children in things they might enjoy. I’m happy to answer any questions and see if I’m the right fit for your family!
Hello!! I have 12 years of childcare experience with 4 of those years spent as a full-time nanny and 1 of them as a house/nanny-manager. I have experience with children ages 3 months-13 years. I prioritize safety and love to be a hands on caretaker. My favorite activities with children include reading, arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, teaching dance (I'm a dance teacher!), and encouraging creativity through fun, engaging activities. I also have experience with household management, including running errands, meal prep and cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, dog walking, and home organization. I also have experience with morning roles in getting kids ready for school/daycare in addition to transport before and after school/camps. I am recently Red Cross CPR certified. I currently work at Paul Taylor Dance Company in the education sector. I have a bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. In my free time, I love to take dance classes, create art, play with my cat, thrift, and spend time exploring the city!
