I am a former teacher and experienced nanny, with over eight years of professional childcare experience in myriad environments. I've worked at a Montessori daycare, taught ESL abroad, and have worked as a private nanny for four different families. I have experience with children with special needs, newborn/infants, tantrum-prone toddlers, and children up to the age of 17! In addition to my BA from Bard College, I have been trained in the Montessori method, am First Aid/CPR certified, and have a certificate in Infant/Newborn Care. I've night-nannied, provided continuous (24/7) care for a family dealing with a health emergency, and worked as a family manager, assisting in all kinds of familial admin. I can provide a full resumé + references upon request. I absolutely love working with kids because children are proof that there is good in the world. I love experiencing the world through a child's eyes and finding fun in the smallest of moments. I prioritize maximum outdoor and creative play, and prefer my care hours to be screen-free. I'm looking for a job that allows me to use my talents to care for children and support busy families. Respect, kind communication, and a peaceful home atmosphere are all a must.

I help them by cooking for the children and cleaning the toddlers when they need to be clean . I help pick my grand children from school .

Hello, I’m Nicole! I’m a warm, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with over 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. My background in childcare and child development has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, engaging, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. As a former Girl Scout from Daisy through Cadette, I developed strong values around leadership, responsibility, and dependability from an early age. I have experience supervising children throughout the day, managing routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, organizing fun age-appropriate activities, and confidently caring for children in the absence of parents. I’m known for being patient, friendly, trustworthy, and highly reliable. I handle challenging behaviors calmly and respectfully while maintaining clear boundaries and structure. I take pride in being punctual, professional, honest, and dedicated to providing exceptional care. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with diverse families and children. I also have a strong passion for working with children and supporting their well-being and development. I currently attend college on weekends and have a long-term passion for healthcare, with aspirations of continuing to grow in the medical field. My ultimate goal has always been to work in pediatric care, which reflects my genuine love for helping children thrive. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones.

Hi! I am Catherine. I love working with children. I was a preschool teacher last year and really enjoyed working with that age group. My age range as a teacher was 6 months to 5 years old. I also worked at summer camps with children ages 6 to 15. I respect and care about children. I will listen to your child, play with them, and treat them like a good friend. I have my driver's license in case it's needed. I am also learning to roller skate if that is something your child is interested in! Happy to meet!
