About Ivan

Hi, I'm Ivan--an experienced caregiver with a strong healthcare background in CNA, hospice, and MRI aide work, now applying those skills to childcare. I've cared for children from toddlers to teens, providing safe, patient, and nurturing support. My skills include meal prep, school drop-offs/pickups, homework help, tutoring, playtime activities, bedtime routines, and supervision at home or outings. I'm trained in safety, health protocols, and calming anxious kids, drawing from years of guiding patients through stressful situations. I've supported children with autism and special needs, building trust through empathy and consistency. Bilingual in English and Spanish (NJ Seal of Biliteracy), conversational Portuguese, and able to assist with basic Arabic and Gujarati, I communicate easily with diverse families. Flexible, dependable, and caring, my goal is to create a positive, enriching environment where kids feel safe, supported, and able to thrive.
