I've been passionate about caring for others, especially children, since a young age. My journey began when I was 10 years old, looking after my younger brother and cousins. This early responsibility taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and the joy of nurturing. As I grew older, I started babysitting for families around my neighborhood, which further solidified my love for childcare. Eventually, I became a nanny for a wonderful 9-year-old girl in Scarsdale. I was with her for four years, during which I focused on fostering her independence and supporting her daily activities. Unfortunately, I had to stop due to the onset of COVID-19. Afterward, I worked as a caregiver for a sweet older lady, providing companionship and assistance until her unfortunate passing. This experience broadened my caregiving skills and reinforced my passion for helping others. Additionally, I worked with Hamaspik, where I cared for a 10-year-old boy Read more with autism. This role taught me how to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of children with special needs. Born and raised in New York, I've always had a deep-rooted passion for caring for others, especially kids. It allows me to relive the joys of childhood and provide the companionship I longed for growing up as an only child until my younger brother was born. I'm a very clean and organized person, which helps in maintaining a safe and tidy environment for children. I enjoy cooking and love animals, which can be a great addition to a household with pets. I'm friendly and great with people of all ages, making it easy for me to connect with children and adults alike. My diverse experiences and my passion for caregiving make me confident in my ability to provide excellent care and support to families.
