Taking care of kids has always been second nature to me. My mom was a daycare provider and preschool teacher, so I grew up surrounded by little ones. By 15, I was babysitting for families from school, and by 17, I was working as a nanny. I did it part-time while going to college, then full-time after I graduated, and I’ve loved it ever since. In 2012, I got married and moved to Portugal, where I spent 12 years raising my own two kids (now 5 and 9) and running a small restaurant in our town. That chapter of my life gave me a whole new level of patience, organization, and multitasking skills—things that have only made me a better caregiver. This past October, we moved back to New York to help my husband’s old business partner with a new project, but now that they’re all settled, I’m excited to Read more get back to what I truly love: working with kids and supporting families. I have tons of experience with younger kids, have worked with families with special needs, and have done everything from basic childcare to full-on household management. Most of my references aren’t super recent, but I’ve stayed in touch with many of the families I worked with and can absolutely provide glowing recommendations. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny who genuinely loves what she does, I’d love to connect!
