About Ava

Experience: 6 yrs

Hi families! I'm a caring and creative nanny with over six years of experience working with children from newborns to 8 years old. I have always been around young kids being from a large family. Supporting kids as they grow, learn, and explore the city is one of the most gratifying aspects of life to me. I have a degree in visual art and enjoy bringing creativity into everyday activities. Whether it's arts and crafts, play, or exploring local museums and parks, I love helping children express themselves and stay curious in a fun way. I'm patient, reliable, and comfortable setting clear boundaries while still meeting kids at their level and keeping it playful. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and confident. I also value open communication with parents and always aim to work as a team to meet your family's needs. I'd love the opportunity to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for your family.

Our eight-year-old son adores Ava—we do too! He thinks of her as a true friend, not just a babysitter. Over the two years she's work with our family, she has aways been reliable and punctual. She pro-actively comes up with fun, educational activities to enjoy with our son, from zoo visits and playing in the park, to exploring art at the Guggenheim or dinos at the Natural History Museum. She knows New York well, so is a great "tour guide" for kids who are learning how to navigate the city, bringing a sense of calm and composure among the hustle and bustle. She's down to sit on the floor and read books, climb trees, or prep a meal. Ava is the best.
