About Viana
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I started working with children when I was 12, babysitting my younger sister and cousins. For 4 years I worked for the Boy Scouts of America both in NYC and Long Island which ran as an after-school program at schools in five boroughs grades 1-5. I was a program specialist and would lead the weekly lessons to my assigned den. A year and a half later, I was promoted to Cub master and was in charge of coordinating the program for one school each day of the week. What I loved the most about working with the Boy Scouts of America was that it was about teaching the boys in a way all kids want to learn and that is by having fun. For 2 Years I have worked in a preschool/hospital for special needs children. I was a paraprofessional for kids who were non-ambulatory and depended on me for transportation to and from seating equipment , therapy sessions, and diaper changing.

Viana is AMAZING! She is reliable, timely, trustworthy, caring, playful with the children, honest, and any other positive adjective you can think of! She always sends images and text messages throughout the day of the children and what they are doing. This allows me to feel like I am still with them, even at work. She shares cute funny stories of things the children did or said. There was never a day where I didn't know what my children were up to. She is always up for an adventure and has been able to navigate NYC pubic transportation with my twin 3 year olds. Viana was always on time. She a hardly ever took days off and when she did she gave us plenty of notice. In the fall our children will start full time preschool and we will no longer need full day childcare. I am heartbroken that Viana will no longer be caring for our children. In these last 7 months I've come to love and completely trust Viana with the loves of my life and as a born and raise New Yorker, my trust is hard to gain. I am... we are... so grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity and the pleasure of having such a wonderful person touch our lives.
