Hello! My name is Sylvia and I am a masters level social work student at Hunter College. I love kids and have extensive experience babysitting, and working in preschools and summer camps. I particularly enjoy caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, but have experience with all age groups. I'd describe my personality as friendly, caring, and honest. I like working with kids because of their curiosity and excitement about the world. I find it to be a recharge for me after working in stressful environments at my social work field placement. I'm looking for a job that will work with my school hours and is consistent. I started working with kids when I was in high school. In my spare time, I like to read, go on walks, and do yoga. My skills include entertaining children without the use of screens, comforting children, and supporting potty training.
Sylvia was wonderful with our four-year-old. She regularly picked her up from her after-school program and brought her back to her place, handling dinner, bath time, and quiet activities like reading books with ease. She was especially great at helping my daughter wind down and fall asleep when I came home later in the evening. Sylvia was also excellent at following and implementing new routines whenever we introduced them, which we really appreciated. She is very pleasant, patient, and calm, and our daughter felt comfortable and happy with her. I would absolutely recommend Sylvia to any family looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive caregiver.
