I am a mother of two, wildly energetic toddlers under the age of 5! I have a Masters in Social Work, am passionate about the neurodivergent community and I'm a houseplant enthusiast! My love for pets is unmatched and unbiased (cats + dogs are equally adored). I have experience as a part-time nanny (10+ years) and continue to work with children presently. I welcome the opportunity to support any household needs families may have as well!

Bernarda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Bernarda and I am 25 years old. I am currently working at a part time legal assistant position while also building my career in the wine industry. I have been working with kids since the age of 15, where I started coaching tennis to a 10 and under group with The New York Junior Tennis League. My experience working with kids is not something I learned at my job. Growing up at home my mom was a babysitter, and I always helped her take care of the children, from toddlers to kids in elementary school. I grew up with these children in my house and I learned to love them, help them with homework, and even take them out on small trips with my mother. Ever since I have helped my mom with babysitting , children have always been part of my life. Eventually,I was able to continue to work with children teaching them and making tennis a fun game for them to learn. I love to read, play tennis, and dance as well. I also speak Spanish and I would gladly be able to teach your son or daughter. I promise to take care of your child like they were my own. Make each day with me fun and exciting !
