I worked at The JCC in Early Childhood as a preschool teacher for 3 years and have been a nanny for the past 6 years. My current family will be moving to NYC in the winter, and as devastated as we all are, it’s an opportunity the dad could not pass up. I’ve been with them for 3 years and the boys are now 2 & 4. It’s been such a joy having the privilege of watching them grow up and they will forever have a special place in my heart. As one incredible chapter closes, I am excited for a new one to open. I have experience with all age groups, although infants and toddlers are probably my favorite. I connect well with kids thanks to my nurturing, easy going and energetic nature. I am so fortunate I get to do what I love. I provide structured, enriching days Read more full of fun, adventure, and developmentally age appropriate activities. I love setting up different sensory bins for the ultimate tactile experience. Whether it’s engaging them in science experiments, art projects, dramatic play, music, letter and number games, I try to stick to some kind of curriculum. Learning through play, I enjoy getting to spark their interests in all kinds of areas. I take the kiddos all around town; whether we’re checking out a new playground or library, visiting a museum, walking around the Botanic Gardens or going to the duck pond, beach, or zoo, it is so magical getting to see a world of wonder through their eyes. I strive to keep children safe, comfortable and happy by developing a meaningful relationship with the children and family. Optimism, patience, and communication are key. I live in Uptown and I have reliable transportation. *References and letters of recommendation available upon request.*

Marta has been our son's nanny for the last two years. She is absolutely amazing! If we could give 10 stars, we would. She is incredibly creative, loving, and engaging - she truly loves being around children, playing with them, and helping them grow and learn. Our son looked forward to seeing her every day. And all of his friends were so jealous that Marta was his nanny - they love her so much. She is really brilliant at what she does. Beyond simple caregiving activities, she created curriculum with him, engaged in science experiments, did cooking projects, and took him all over the city to child-centered activities (when that was possible). We're going to miss Marta, but it's exciting to know that a family in LA will get to work with such an incredible person. If you want a full reference, we are happy to provide one.
