Hi! I'm a NYC native with 5+ yrs of exp caring for children from infancy through the teen yrs. I've cared for babies as young as a few wks old, helping w feeds, naps, tummy time, stroller walks, and early learning. I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, baking, dance parties, singing, and walks around the city. Comfortable w. school pickups, drop-offs, after-school routines, and evening coverage. Along w. babysitting, I sometimes work as a sub in NYC public schools supporting children fm pre-K - middle school. CPR/First Aid/AED certified, vaccinated, and background-checked. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and fun. Currently open to PT roles in Manhattan or FT for the right fit. Also happy to help with occasional date nights. *The families I've worked w have transitioned out of childcare as their kids have grown or started daycare, which is why I'm looking for a new family. Outside of work, I take salsa classes and enjoy Pilates, swimming, knitting and tennis.
It is my great pleasure to recommend Esmeralda, who has cared for my daughter since birth through her first nine months. From the very beginning, Esmeralda has been a steady, nurturing presence in our home, helping us navigate the newborn stage with patience, warmth, and confidence. She is attentive and gentle, yet also proactive in creating a safe and stimulating environment. Esmeralda has supported every stage of my daughter’s early development — from feedings and naps to introducing play, learning, and routines — always with incredible care. She is reliable, punctual, and flexible, which has made balancing family life and work infinitely smoother. Most importantly, my daughter absolutely adores her. The bond they have formed is genuine and joyful, giving me tremendous peace of mind knowing my child is happy, safe, and thriving in Esmeralda’s care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Esmeralda to any family in search of a trustworthy, capable, and deeply caring nanny. She has been a gift to our family during these most important first months of our child’s life.
