About Radhika

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm a professional nanny with 29 years of experience and 5 years as a kindergarten teacher. I love taking kids to parks, libraries, and enrichment activities. I support consistent routines, help establish independent sleep if a family wants it, and guide children's emotional and social development with patience, calm, and guidance. I enjoy preparing fresh meals. As a mother, I understand the needs of working parents and offer flexible scheduling and reliable support. I handle child-related cleaning, keep common areas tidy, and teach children to care for their space as they grow. I love children of all ages. I especially adore infants and have cared for over 20 in my career. I'm experienced in safe sleep and feeding practices, and in troubleshooting issues like bottle refusal or separation anxiety. I'm CPR/ First Aid certified and Trustline registered. I understand that every family is different, so I adapt to what works best for you and communicate with you.

Radhika is the most reliable nanny we've ever hired. In nearly three years, she never once showed up late or left us in the lurch. In fact, she arrives 10 minutes early every day. She has been sick only twice; each time, she called me the night before so we could have adequate time to arrange back-up care. She is deeply caring, patient, calm and kind. I have never heard her even raise her voice, and she is endlessly affectionate and playful, while also encouraging good behavior and manners. She deserves most of the credit for helping our daughter exceed numerous milestones. Thanks to Radhika, our daughter was potty trained by 22 months, and spoke several hundred words by age 2. Radhika has been constantly talking, singing, and reading to her, and got her potty trained when she displayed signs of readiness. Radhika also played an instrumental role in turning our daughter into the healthiest eater in our family: She eats spinach and lentils every day! Radhika is also a team player who does what it takes to help the whole family succeed. While we have only asked her to work late a few times on last-minute notice, she did so willingly. She preps dinner on the nights we don't have meal delivery, takes out our garbage even though we never asked her to, and unloads our dishwasher before the kids wake up. Our daughter starts preschool this fall, so we no longer need a full-time nanny. With extensive experience, an unparalleled work ethic, and genuine love for children, Radhika will become as invaluable to your family as she was to ours.
