About Irene

I was born in Kyiv, into a family of filmmakers and grew up surrounded by creativity, culture, and the arts. I also lived and worked in Moscow for a significant part of my life, which further broadened my cultural and professional experience. I speak fluent English, Russian as well as some French. For the past five years in New York City, I cared for children ages 3-10, primarily on the Upper East and Upper West Sides. My experience includes school pick-ups and drop-offs, classes, sports, playdates, meal preparation, daily routines, and cognitive development. I enjoy reading, educational games, nature, history, and creative activities with children while respecting each family's parenting style. I am a confident cook, former competitive tennis player, and lover of photography, film, travel, and culture. Families describe her as reliable, trustworthy, organized, kind, attentive, and warm.
