Seaside Staffing Company is proud to present our Nanny of the Month (NOTM) for November 2024: Paige Feldman. Families in search of top-flight childcare in New York need look no further than Paige, a nanny who embodies the highest standards of dedication and expertise.
A Lifelong Calling
“I’ve always wanted to be a mother and a teacher since I was a child,” Paige reflects, her eyes lighting up as she speaks about her profession. What started as a whisper of passion has grown into a career that hands her a new canvas every day, and she gets to paint it with purpose.
Paige’s childcare philosophy takes the long view, carefully crafting an environment that lets kids blossom into curious, confident individuals with a strong sense of self. As a professional, she’s polished and confident; as a person, she’s kind and approachable. Witnessing kids blossom into curious learners is an absolute joy. “They are constantly changing, which keeps me on my toes and means I always have a new exciting adventure with them.”
Building Bonds That Last a Lifetime
Perhaps one of the most remarkable aspects of Paige’s journey is the lasting connections she creates with the families she serves. She cherishes the moments when professional relationships seamlessly transition into lifelong friendships. Her investment in people has paid off in the most meaningful way: the sight of her former pupils forging their own paths and succeeding is a constant source of happiness.
“As I’ve watched some of my old nanny children grow and enter into college,” she says with pride, “I feel such a sense of pride for being one of the many who lead them to achieve a happy, successful, loving life.” This long-term perspective demonstrates her understanding that childcare isn’t just about the present moment, it’s about laying foundations for future success.
A Professional Approach to Individual Needs
Among New York nannies, Paige’s philosophy of childcare stands out for its deep respect for each child’s individuality. According to her, the needs of each child are like fingerprints – distinct and worthy of recognition. Because she truly gets it, her pediatricians’ philosophy stems from genuinely understanding and taking care of each young patient as an individual, instead of mere numbers.
Just as she zeros in on each student’s strengths, she connects with parents on a personal level, fostering a team effort that drives success. Parenting symbiosis happens when you respect their values and goals for their kids, and communicate openly with them every day. Working hand-in-hand, we give each child the stable environment they need to reach their full potential.
Continuous Learning and Professional Development
What truly distinguishes Paige, even among the highly qualified pool of New York nannies, is her commitment to professional growth and education. Staying on top of her game is a priority for her, which is why she voraciously reads up on the newest childcare methodologies and discoveries. “I read many books on child development as well as reading scholarly articles on development,” she shares. Montessori education is her sweet spot, and she effortlessly weaves tried-and-true child development techniques into her daily routine with kids.
What they learn in theory gets applied in the field. As Paige skillfully integrates Montessori techniques into her caregiving, she conjures dynamic, thought-provoking spaces where children seamlessly integrate new skills, fortified by her trust in their capacity for self-motivated discovery.
Heirloom of Wisdom and Devotion
As Paige has worked with children over the years, she’s made it clear that true caregivers must be triple threats: kind, smart, and utterly dependable. Anything less would be insufficient for the tiny humans who depend on them. You can’t help but feel at ease in her care, as she harmoniously balances warmth and expertise to create a space where young minds can explore and thrive.
Paige’s dedication shines whether she’s helping her current kids tie their shoelaces or beaming with pride over the college-bound successes of her former charges. When we get childcare right, the results are astounding: we’re not just getting our kids through the day, we’re shaping the very foundation upon which their entire lives will be built.
Paige faces each morning with a commitment to IGNITE change, LEARN from the children in her care, and THRIVE together as a community of curious minds. Her story showcases the transforming power of quality childcare, which does more than just watch kids – it bolsters families and communities alike. By virtue of her sterling reputation and standout performance, Seaside Staffing Company has bestowed upon her the coveted title of Nanny of the Month.
