About Ivana

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a loving and extraordinarily dedicated nanny with over 15 years of experience. I completed extensive coursework in psychology and neuroscience, which informs my emotionally attuned and brain-enriching approach to childcare, ensuring each child receives attention, affection, appreciation, and high-quality interaction. Having cared for more than 30 children, including serving as the first nanny to 17, my experience spans a broad age range with a special focus on babies and toddlers. I am committed to nurturing every dimension: emotional, cognitive, physical, social, and linguistic, so children feel confident, happy, and empowered to thrive. Known for my funness, I turn even the most ordinary moments into joyful adventures. I love creative play, reading books, everything music and arts, nature explorations, obstacle courses, and pretend science experiments that foster curiosity and a love of learning. B. S.

Ivana currently cares for our 6 month old son and we have nothing but amazing things to say about her!! She is very knowledgeable in many different areas and stays up to date with current childcare studies and trends to inform her care of our son. Also she always keeps our son engaged - whether it’s reading him books, playing with his toys or taking him on walks around our neighborhood. She is never on her phone or watches TV, even when he’s sleeping. Highly recommend!!!
