Dear parents, I am a 35year old nanny from Poland. I graduated from Oklahoma City University with a dual degree BA in cello performance and liberal arts and obtained my MA in Public International Law/ Human Rights degree from John Jay college. I have eight years of experience working as a nanny and I can provide multiple references upon request. Through college, I took classes in child development and had various opportunities to work as a tutor as well as a full-time and part-time babysitter to families with children of varying ages, including newborns. I am responding to your advertisement because I am a very honest, responsible, loving, and warm person, truly committed to any job I do but especially those in childcare. I have found so much joy working closely with many families and helping their children develop. I am looking to find a nice family to work with occasionally and help out as much as possible; and always with a smile. I have been told many times how much parents value my preparation for work. I always come up with different activities for the children to keep them mentally stimulated but also to ensure they're having fun with their imaginations and creativity! In a typical day, the children would participate in Arts and Crafts projects, music lessons, story-telling, and many safe and fun games. I always make my activity plans based on what children are interested in, as well as the activities that their parents prefer. I believe in the importance of routine, but as always, I put the parents concerns first. In addition, I pride myself on always helping with cooking, laundering, and cleaning. I hope I get the chance to meet with you and I thank you so much for your time and consideration. If You have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Kind Regards, Agata

Hello, my name is Vanessa, I`m 31 years old. I’m able to speak both Spanish and English, I recently graduated from Communication and Corporate Relations. I have experience with babies, toddlers and kid’s ages from 0 to 12. In 2015 I signed for an exchange program called Au pair in California where I took care of several kids from different ages and backgrounds. I lived in their homes with their parents and had to do all kinds of chores including driving them to places, helping them with homework, preparing meals and many activities day by day. In 2017 I enrolled with Care.com and worked with different families. In Urban Sitter I’ve been since 2014. I count with plenty infant experiences, 3 full-time jobs in total, from new born ages. I have First Aid, CPR and swimming training certification. I’m reliable, easy going, punctual, proactive, organized and enjoy my job because I get a long very well with kids. I count with more than 8 years of experience and excellent reviews and references. I also have a great profile in care.com with more updated reviews. Hope to hear from you soon ! Vanessa

Vanessa helped us go to a wedding recently. She watched two 2 yr olds and a 4 mo old. She fed them dinner and got them all to bed. My daughter, who is notoriously slow to warm (just ask her grandpa!) took to Vanessa immediately, holding her hand and playing with her. She woke up the next morning telling us she liked Vanessa. Vanessa was great with our girls, punctual and responsive when we were checking in. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!
