I'll be upfront: I'm not a full-time nanny, and that might be exactly why you'd want me.
During the week, I am the project design lead for a large-scale waterfront project in Lower Manhattan. The work I do Monday through Friday demands serious multi-tasking, a high degree of responsibility, and clear communication under pressure. On weekends and possibly weeknights, I'm looking to take on nannying and babysitting work to pay down student debt and help support some elderly relatives.
Despite a decent salary, I am in real need of a reliable long-term side hustle for the next few years, and childcare is something I will genuinely enjoy, not just endure.
About me:
I am comfortable with toddlers (1-3), young kids (4-8), and older kids (9-12+). I am happy to discuss infants on a case-by-case basis. My experience with very young babies is limited, and I won't oversell that to a new parent. I am the oldest of six siblings, the youngest being 12 years younger than I am. I bring "supportive older sister" energy.
I am CPR and First Aid certified.
I hold a BS in Biology and a master's degree in architecture. I am well-read and comfortable tutoring up to Calculus 1, and I can be a genuinely positive academic influence for a curious or academically inclined older child. Extra points if there's any interest in architecture.
I don't have formal nanny references, but I am happy to provide strong professional references, including colleagues who know me well in the context of their own children.
I do not smoke, am not a heavy drinker, and do not use drugs.
I have a current driver's license, an impeccable driving record, and my own (admittedly slightly junky) car.
I am a strong home cook, though not a chef. Happy to put together meals.
Most of all, I am kind, extroverted, and hardworking. I know how to be a supportive presence in someone's home without overstepping. I will be on board with the way you choose to raise your children.
I currently live in Williamsburg and am flexible on the neighborhood.
Happy to sign an NDA.
I am a strong fit for a family looking for weekend support, or for one that already has a full-time nanny and needs a reliable, professional substitute on days off or additional weekend coverage. I am motivated, I show up, and I'm seeking a long-term, regular arrangement.
Happy to come by for a meet-and-greet if you think I could be a good fit for your family.
