Hi, I'm Irina! I have over 15 years of experience in child care, starting as a babysitter before running a Sunday school program for children ages 1-13. My passion for child development led me to earn a bachelor's in pediatric speech pathology in 2016. I also have a medical background as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer but found my true calling in working with children, especially those with autism and special needs. For the past 12 years, I've been a certified Applied Behavior Therapist (ABA), providing specialized support for children and teens. My experience ranges from babysitting and live-in nannying to behavioral therapy. I'm passionate about creating a nurturing, enriching environment where every child feels valued and empowered. With my experience and training, I provide personalized, high-quality care tailored to each child's unique needs.

We were so lucky to have Irina as our nanny for a full week while on holidays in LA. Irina helped us with our 4 y.o. daughter and was an absolute God-send to spend the entire day to resolve all chores from getting ready to meals, full day out at theme parks, face painting, play time, nap time etc. Irina also drove the girls around to the beach and showed some of the spectacular sights that LA has to offer. Irina is patient, compassionate and extremely engaged while taking care of our daughter. Our little one could spend hours at stretch with Irina due to an enriched and engaging experience. Irina is extremely responsive in her communications and flexible with her timings as well. Irina was also open to traveling interstate with us on our travels, wish we had known this ahead of time so that the travel arrangements could have worked out. Definitely on our next US trips, we will be getting Irina for the entire duration.
