Hello, I am Kimberly . I am a professional nanny with montessori training for the last 10 years. Additionally, I am a certified newborn care specialist,CPR and fully vaccinated. Not only am I hard-working, trustworthy and reliable, but also nurturing,firm and fun. I enjoy taking care and help raising the little ones. From helping them crawl to planting their feet in this world. Assisting the little ones to blossom mentally, physically and emotionally is vital in early development stage. I look forward to hearing from you all.

Hello, I'm Gina and I’m so excited to work with you! I’m a graduate of NYU where I received my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance (musical theatre). I’ve received in person guided and hands on training/instruction and certification in both adult and infant First Aid and CPR. I’m the middle child of three children, and one of 22 grandchildren in my family so I am very accustomed to being surrounded by young children running around! My mother has worked as an early childhood educator/administrator my entire life. Many of the tactics she utilized in her classroom were the same ones she used raising my siblings and I. I’ve learned much of what I use in childcare from her, including helping the young ones with their coursework! I worked as a sitter in the Chicagoland area before moving here to NYC for school and am now looking for new families to work with. Hope to connect soon!

Hello! Thanks for looking at my profile! In my childcare experience, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, nanny, Mother’s helper and director of summer camp. I’ve cared for children from 2 weeks up to 12 years. I enjoy incorporating my knowledge and experience with art into my work with children because I believe it helps them to express their creativity. I attended the University of Oregon and graduated with a dual degree in Latin American Studies and Theater. Thanks for your consideration.

***JUST RETURNING AFTER SOME TIME OFF. IF I MISSED YOUR MESSAGE, I’LL BE IN TOUCH SOON! Hi! I’m Mel, your child’s future best friend, and I’m here to make your life a little bit easier! ☺️ I’m a warm, proactive, engaging, and highly experienced childcare professional with 15+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from brand-new babies to teenagers and just about every stage in between. My approach to childcare is rooted in the belief that kids deserve to feel safe, respected, understood, and supported. I love getting to know who each child actually is: their personality, interests, quirks, sense of humor, strengths, and the things that make them light up. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to children, and that’s one of my favorite things about this work. I have a strong background in child development and a particular interest in child psychology, emotional regulation, and helping children build confidence and independence. I also have extensive experience caring for neurodivergent children, including children with ADHD and autism, and I’m comfortable adapting routines, communication, activities, and expectations to meet each child where they are. I’m equally happy getting silly on the floor with little ones, planning adventures and creative activities with bigger kids, helping with homework, navigating a tough emotional moment, or hanging out with a teenager who is far too cool to admit they enjoy having me around. Beyond childcare, I bring a lot to a household. I have a medical background and am CPR/BLS certified, along with extensive experience in household management, home organization, meal planning, and cooking. I’m a confident personal chef, a passionate organizer, and someone who genuinely enjoys bringing a little order to the chaos of busy family life. Whether that means keeping household tasks on track, reorganizing a playroom, prepping meals, tackling an overflowing closet, or simply noticing what needs to be done and taking care of it, I love helping families make their homes and routines run more smoothly. Most importantly, I take the trust families place in me seriously. I want parents to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are safe, cared for, and in capable hands while they’re with me. Every family is different, and I’d love to hear about yours, your children, your routines, and what would make your life run a little more smoothly. It takes a village, and I’d love to be part of yours.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by :) I’m Jessica, a seasoned childcare provider with 15+ years of experience caring for infants through school-age children across NYC and New Jersey. I’m CPR certified for infants and children, trained in child development, and very familiar with the realities of parenting—from separation anxiety and bedtime routines to big feelings. I’m a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology and previously studied fashion design at Pratt Institute. Creativity is central to who I am; I’m always drawing, sewing, or painting. I’ve taught sewing to 3rd–5th graders in after-school programs and led group childcare events through Project Playdate, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once. My experience includes infants and toddlers, children with food allergies, and those with special needs (including Autism and Cerebral Palsy). I’m patient, kind, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I strive to create a calm, safe, and imaginative environment where children feel seen, supported, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.
