I am a 31 year old nanny originally from Colombia and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children. I have lived in the United States for the past 7 years, working as a nanny and improving my English. Taking care of kids is more than a job to me it is a true passion.

I have experience with children from newborns to 13 years old and have worked in both solo and nanny share positions. CPR certified and currently doing a postpartum doula course.

I am a current MBA student and graduate of Georgetown University who loves children and has vast experience in childcare returning to babysitting while out of the job market. I have tutored kids from first to seventh grade, been a preschool assistant teacher and babysat for many families over the years. My duties have included school pick up and drop-off, meal preparation and planning fun activities for the kids. I am a big fan of getting outside and doing something active or creative. With a cognitive science degree focusing on child development, I am confident I will be a terrific complement to your family. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking a moment to read my profile. My name is Victoria, and I’ve been a full-time nanny for over 10 years. Caring for children is truly what I love, and I put my whole heart into creating a safe, nurturing, and happy environment for the little ones I work with. I’ve worked with all age groups, and in recent years I’ve specialized in caring for babies, from just a few months old through their transition into preschool. I’m experienced with age-appropriate routines, including sleep schedules, meal transitions, developmental activities, and establishing healthy habits. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve also completed the Safe Sitter course. Families often describe me as warm, gentle, trustworthy, and someone kids naturally feel comfortable with. I would be happy to connect, answer any questions, and share references. Sincerely, Victoria
Hi, I’m Lucia! Brooklyn has been my home for over a decade, though I’m originally from California. As the eldest of three and the first grandchild among 30 cousins, I’ve been caring for children of all ages for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after wonderful kids, ages 1.5–16, and many families have told me I became their child’s favorite sitter—the highest compliment I could hope for! I love getting to know each child’s unique personality and tailoring activities to what excites them most—whether that’s baking cookies, arts & crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors. My focus is always to keep little ones safe, happy, and engaged. Families describe me as punctual, kind, patient, fun, and fully present. Please feel free to check my references—they’re filled with kind words from families I’ve had the privilege to work with. I would be honored to care for your child and create a nurturing, playful space where they can thrive. I look forward to connecting! Warmly, Lucia
“Lucia was awesome! Super sweet and punctual. We will hire her again!”
