Debbie has a natural talent for caring for children as a Bronx Before School Nanny!

"I am a nurturing and kind person and loved raising my own three children. Because I have a large extended family, I enjoy cooking Italian dinners and helping to watch the children. My goal is to continue to provide educational childcare as a nanny for a family that can use my skills of tutoring and keeping a well-organized home. I value education and always strive to do my best. Being able to provide a safe and loving environment for children while their parents are working is most important to me. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the Bronx Before School Nanny profession over any other it would have to be because I have a natural ability to work well with children and enjoy teaching and caring for them. I can provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. I know I can make a difference in parents’ lives by helping to care for their children. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 25 years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are to be loved and respected. They are precious, fun-loving, curious learners that need excellent care, including good nutrition and socialization, while their parents are working. My goal as a Nanny is to be the best caregiver to the children who are in my charge. I will strive to provide a nurturing, loving home for them. Over time, the parents would be assured that I am taking full responsibility for the care of their children as their nanny and that they can focus on their responsibilities while at work. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes making beds, making meals, washing dishes, laundry, and vacuuming. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am kind, patient, intelligent, energetic and empathetic. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include planning and making meals, driving to any school-related and sports activities; playing games with the children, inside and outside. I would provide plenty of outdoor playing activities, weather permitting; making sure the children had fun while exercising; reading and doing arts and crafts, while maintaining a clean, well- organized home. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Nanny like me I would hope they would be kind and welcoming."

"I worked with Debbie for the past four years in my role of curriculum and instruction specialist and I had the opportunity to observe her in the classroom on two occasions. Debbie demonstrated positive character traits, strong values and a sincere interest in the welfare of the students. In our work together, Debbie was eager to learn and receptive to suggestions. Debbie taught Kindergarten and she seems to have a special affection for, and rapport, with Kindergarten students. In all her interactions with the students she was kind, patient and willing to do any amount of work to assist them in the classroom. Debbie is knowledgeable about learning strategies that engage the students and her lessons always contained creative activities. One of Debbie’s greatest strengths is her ability to relate to all students. She creates a very positive classroom climate and she works well with students, parents and colleagues. Debbie is a very capable learner who is always interested in developing her skills. She is a wonderful person, a dedicated teacher and she will be a very professional colleague and strong contributor in any position."

"I have known Deborah for three years. During that time I have visited her classroom and always found her students happily engaged in whatever task was at hand. Deborah is a warm, kind, and competent teacher who strives to help each of her students reach his or her potential. Deborah is innovative and willing to try new ideas to encourage learning. She is punctual and conscientious. She maintains a positive relationship with both parents and students. I fell she has the necessary skills and personality to be a wonderful Bronx Before School Nanny."

"Debbie was always on time, fed the children, played with them, and helped with homework if needed. It was a very good experience, having Debbie in our home. She was great with the children and they enjoyed spending time with her. She was very reliable and I highly recommend her."

"I have had the opportunity to know, to supervise, and to evaluate Deborah in her role as a kindergarten teacher. My acquaintanceship with her extends across the last two school years. I have found Deborah to be professional in both appearance and demeanor, as well as being conscientious about modeling those behaviors which we endeavor to elicit from our students; behaviors, such as courtesy, respectfulness and cooperation. Deborah recognizes the power of modeling as a teaching tool and uses this approach effectively in her classroom, gaining student attention, confidence, and support. Deborah has consistently demonstrated a commitment to her young learners. She is an early arriver at work and often spends afterschool hours working to afford her learners the best instructional climate possible. That classroom climate is one which "nurtures her students on a daily basis, while fostering a sense of sharing and a willingness to help one another. She demonstrates a confidence that all students can learn and can be successful. She consistently demonstrates a nurturing and compassionate demeanor. Moreover, Deborah is committed to professional growth and has attended numerous workshops and staff development seminars over the course of my tenure at the elementary school. While Deborah's departure will be a loss to our instructional program, I am confident that any family would be benefited by the addition of this Bronx Before School Nanny."
