About Denise

I'm a warm, proactive nanny and family assistant with over five years of experience caring for children from infancy to elementary age. I hold a degree in Psychology from SUNY New Paltz and speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish fluently. My caregiving style emphasizes emotional intelligence, safety, and consistency, with a focus on positive communication, developmental play, and outdoor activities. I also support families with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, and schedule coordination. I have reliable transportation, 15+ years of safe driving experience, and am willing to renew certifications like CPR. I have regular childcare for my own young son but appreciate flexibility for occasional emergencies. I value long-term relationships built on trust, clear communication, and creating a calm, nurturing environment for both children and parents.
