I am a semi retired certified New York state certified teacher with many years of experience in the public school system. I've been a nanny to a boy who was only a few months old to watching and helping a 9 yr old boy with challenges in his studies due to learning disabilities. I like to help around the house too as I know all too well what it is to come home after a long day at work and have homework with school age children and still have dinner and home maintenance to deal with. I am very good at working with preschool age children, in that I can help them become, not only, ready for school but successful when they enter. I have training in various methods of literacy and can be a great guide and motivator with a struggling reader. I have many diversified experiences and would be a blessing to your home in making both you and your child(ren)'s lives feel more relaxed and effortless. I always go the extra mile in order to help others, so you can look forward to coming home and finding your home tidy and your child happy and cared for so you can relax easily when you arrive home. I also have experience working with elder care. I have the wonderful privilege of caring for a 93 yr old woman daily who I was a companion to. I grew to love her. I managed her home and kept it tidy weekly, bathed her twice per week and made her meals. I also did her laundry once per week. I really enjoy helping others as it gives me a sense of real satisfaction knowing that I was able to make a difference in someone's life just by making their life a bit easier and making them smile.
When you hire Denise you don’t just get a nanny…Denise becomes a part of the family. She is thoughtful, kind, and loving. She will always prioritize the needs of your child and she will get to know every special quality that they have so that she can connect with them. Every moment she spends with them is quality time learning and growing. My son learned something new from Denise every day she was with him and she helped us build a consistent routine while also maintaining flexibility through a variety of baby to toddler transitions. I highly recommend Denise. She will care for your child with the utmost care and love while providing foundations for their development.
