2019 Family Helper of the Year
Cindy Augustine
Cindy was born and raised in San Jose, CA. She has enjoyed working with children since she was a teenager. After many years of experience in a daycare setting, Cindy began working as a private nanny. The family she worked for was transferred to the east coast, and Cindy moved with them. She liked the Westchester area and decided to make her home in NY after the position ended. She has since worked with several different families over the past 15 years, each of whom praise Cindy’s child-rearing skills. Cindy genuinely loves working as a nanny. She loves forming and maintaining relationships with the children that she has helped raise.
Mrs. M., Cindy’s current employer of over 3 years, describes Cindy as “easy to work with, flexible, reliable, creative, resourceful and organized.”
“She teaches the children manners, good habits and self-sufficiency.”
“She prioritizes children’s emotional and social well-being. She is proactive. She plans the dinner menu for the month, does the grocery shopping and prepares healthy meals for the whole family. She helped broaden the list of foods the children eat.”
“She always arrives early and is flexible to stay late if needed. She is loving and caring and everything she does is high quality!”
