About Nathalie

Experience: 17 yrs

I'm a nurturing caregiver with 15+ years of childcare experience, from individual families to large groups. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Rutgers, specializing in child development and therapeutic practice. With 10+ years as a martial arts instructor and youth program director, I bring structure, creativity, and empowerment to each child's routine. I've worked with children with ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other needs, using a patient, adaptable, and strengths-based approach. My background as a camp counselor, tutor, and enrichment leader helps me blend learning, movement, and mindfulness into everyday care. I'm certified in First Aid, CPR & AED and hold a 4th-degree black belt in Taekwondo, which I use as a confidence-building and therapeutic tool. Whether for daily care, overnights, or travel, I create a safe, joyful space that supports every child's growth.

Nathalie has been an incredible support for our family, especially for our child with autism. She brings a calm, patient, and understanding approach that has made a real difference in our child’s comfort and confidence. She takes the time to learn what works best for him, adapts activities to his needs, and celebrates every small victory with genuine care. It’s clear she has experience and a true gift for working with neurodiverse children. We’re so grateful to have her in our lives and can’t recommend her highly enough.
