Hi families! I am Shirley , a professional bilingual nanny/kindergarten teacher fluent in Portuguese and English who has worked in this field for over 8 years. I'm 30 years old and non-smoker. I have a Bachelor of Education - graduated in Pedagogy in 2014 and worked as a kindergarten teacher in Brazil for 8 years before moving to the US to be an Au Pair for two years. After that, I worked as a full-time nanny in Park Slope/Brooklyn and UWS/Manhattan with infants and toddlers. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Shirley .
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Shirley as part of our lives. Shirley is an exceptional caregiver, she goes above and beyond. I cannot sing her praises enough. Shirley’s experience, education and demeanor are just a few things that set her apart. Her attention to detail is extraordinary. I loved the way she did anything, even to the small details of how she organized our home when it came to our son’s things. Her punctuality was impeccable as well as her communication. She was incredible to our son and extremely loving from day one. Shirley connected with our son one to one and observed everything he was doing and feeling. He was developing right in front of our eyes and Shirley was adapting in real time and changing based on his needs. Shirley is a professional with enormous amounts of love. She is humble and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Our son ran into her arms every morning and he was greeted with so much love. Shirley is proactive, hands on, an excellent listener and always trying to improve what’s working and can adjust extremely quickly. She went above and beyond finding new parks, classes, places to go and I always appreciated her input. She gained my trust instantly and took the lead in the best way. She truly always knew what to do and what was best for our son. (Developmental learning, reading, age appropriate activities, meals, walks, outside time) Shirley was and is family and we cannot recommend her enough!
