About me
I am a fun-loving, kid-at-heart Manny who carries an attention for detail and a commitment to maintain a positive working environment for the families I work with. My main focus as a caregiver is to befriend the kids I work with, so that they can learn to trust me as a person in authority who is on their side. I genuinely enjoy exploring New York City through the lens of the childhood eye-- introducing the kids to the landmarks in the city I love (like Broadway and Central Park), while always willing to discover something new (that the kids have in mind).
On most days, I like to lead the day with joy, am always willing to provide my authenticity to the childcare profession, and pride myself on maintaining present awareness to my time in any type of leadership position. I look forward to being a support system to such a transitional time in New York City and hope that this next chapter as a Manny brings with it an opportunity to giggle, learn, and adapt more often.
I have professional child care experience with...
- Toddlers
- Preschoolers
- School-aged (K-5)
- Preteen
- Teenagers
- Twins
- Multiples
In 5 years, I hope to be...
Taking a curtain call on a Broadway Stage, having a published or produced self-written project, while still finding a creative outlet to aid younger generations pursue explore their artistic talents.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I have a deep love for cooking that my father instilled in me, and, to this day, it is always my favorite activity to introduce to children. I also enjoy introducing nanny kids to the big bright world of Broadway and pride myself when I start hearing them singing along to the soundtracks I listen to on my spare time. #Hamilton
