I just graduated from nursing school, looking for extra things to do besides work. I am great with kids and have a 4 yr nephew myself. I am reliable, caring, and easy to talk to. I don’t have much experience as a baby sitter, but I have babysat in the past, I have pet sat, and I have taken care of the elderly.

Hi! My name is Nefertari, and I am an experienced educator and youth mentor with over 10 years of working with children from early childhood through middle school. I’ve served as a Co-Lead PreK Teacher in New York City, supported 6th and 7th grade math classrooms in the South Bronx, and coordinated after-school programming focused on STEAM, leadership, and wellness.I have extensive experience with lesson planning, behavior management through positive reinforcement, homework support, and creating safe, structured, and nurturing environments where children can thrive. I’ve worked with diverse learners and understand how to meet children where they are academically, socially, and emotionally.Beyond academics, I love supporting children’s creativity and curiosity. I enjoy reading time, arts and crafts, outdoor walks, educational games, and helping kids build confidence in themselves. I am patient, attentive, organized, and deeply committed to safety and clear communication with parents.Families can expect someone who is dependable, emotionally intelligent, and genuinely invested in their child’s well-being and growth. I believe children flourish when they feel seen, respected, and encouraged — and I bring that energy into every home I work in.Looking forward to supporting your family!

Hello! I have been working as a nanny and babysitter for over 10 years. I have experience with multiple children, transportation, overnight care, and specialty care. I also used to work as an ambulance EMT, so I am well-versed in emergency medicine. While I am comfortable with all ages, I have recently developed a specialization in babies and toddlers. This included preemie and newborn care. I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, and I am certified as a CPR instructor as well as a newborn care specialist.
