Hi! I'm Shterna, and I'm 26 years old. I grew up in central Brooklyn in a big family of 11, with 28 nieces and nephews (ages 0-16) and over 100 first cousins. Being surrounded by kids my whole life, I naturally picked up childcare early on. I started working with kids professionally in middle school as a babysitter and summer camp counselor. After finishing school in 2018, I primarily worked as a nanny (with a brief stint in corporate) and continue to nanny today. I have lots of experience with newborns, multiples, classrooms (of infants, toddlers, and junior high-school) long shifts, overnights, and weekends, children who are unwell, as well as working with two-parent households and transporting kids around the city. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats, hold a driver’s license, and am vaccinated. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader and Boggle player. I love putting on makeup, jump on any opportunity to hear live-music, and enjoy schmoozing with friends. As a religious Jew, my weekend availability can be limited, but I’m happy to work around it when possible. I’m semi-fluent in Hebrew and enjoy sharing my culture with anyone interested! I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to answer any questions or provide additional information or references.

Toddler Whisperer Available! My current full time family is relocating, so I find myself looking for a new position! I am open to a summer only job, or something longer term with the right family. My most recent longer term jobs have been taking care of toddlers, but I am also very experienced working with preschool and elementary school aged kids.

My rates for long term positions may be different than posted above depending upon the number of hours, children, and duties involved.
