My name is Brian, and I have a lifelong love for animals—especially dogs. I’ve always believed that great caregiving comes from patience, empathy, and genuine passion for helping others, whether they walk on two legs or four. Experience with Animals: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older companions who need a gentler touch. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walking routines, grooming, administering medication, and giving plenty of playtime and affection. I also have experience with cats, small animals, and even a few birds.

Although I cannot cook, I can help kids with their homework, keep them company, play with them, keep the house nice and tidy, and run errands via public transportation.

Hello! I’m Isabella and I am new to the city! I was born and raised in Venice Beach, CA. I moved to New York to be closer to my family who lives on the east coast and to have a new experience while I am in the early stages of my career! I studied Psychology at UC Santa Cruz where I focused on childhood and adolescent development. Throughout college I was a nanny and worked af a local preschool where I was able to conduct my senior research project on emotional regulation in I nannied throughout college and formed strong and lasting relationships with the families I worked with. Many families I worked with prioritized Montessori schooling methods, so I am familiar with that style of learning. My first year out of college, I worked as a Teacher’s Aide at a school for special needs children. I worked with children ages 7-14 who had varying IEP’s for things like autism, dyslexia, and ADHD, among others. I was trained in CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) methods to de-escalate high-stress situations. I am a highly patient, playful, and responsible person, and I take pride in working with families and children. In the next couple of years, I would like to go back to school for a Master's in Marriage & Family Therapy, as I am interested in relationship dynamics and communication strategies. In my free time, I love to be active and outside! I’ve played volleyball my whole life, so I am eager to find a rec league in the city so I can play. I also love to travel and am lucky that my family prioritized this growing up, so I’ve been lucky to travel with them! My experience as a nanny has varied depending on each family’s needs, but I am familiar with school pickup/drop-off, snack and meal planning, homework help, bed/bath time, and planning daily activities. I have experience and am comfortable with overnights after getting to know the family and their children, as well as traveling as needed. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we would be a good fit:)

I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure kids feel comfortable and safe while in my care. I enjoy keeping them entertained with games, activities, movies, or whatever they enjoy, while also respecting each family’s routines and rules.
