About Me
Known as Nanny Nelya — warm, expert, safety-first care for NYC & Jersey City families.
My name is Nelya Ivanchenko, and I have been working as a nanny for over 25 years. As a mother of three grown sons, I understand how important it is for a child to feel safe, happy, and loved. I began my career in Ukraine, expanded my experience in Italy and England, and now joyfully care for children here in New York City.
My work is not just childcare – it’s gentle attention to every little hand and heart. I strive to create a warm and secure environment where children can laugh, play, and feel truly happy every day.
I am also fully equipped to ensure safety and professionalism:
- Driver’s license
- First Aid and CPR certified
- Languages: Ukrainian – native; Russian & Italian – high-level proficiency; English – Intermediate
Your child in my hands is in the loving and professional care of Silver Care Nanny.
Serving: New York City & Jersey City

Parent Q&A by Age
Newborn to 12 Months (Infants)
1. How can I support my baby’s development during the first year?
Talk, sing, and make eye contact during everyday routines. Tummy time strengthens muscles, while colorful toys and gentle touch stimulate the senses. Responding to your baby’s needs builds trust and emotional security.
12–18 Months (Early Toddlers)
2. How can I encourage independence in an early toddler?
Let your child practice small tasks like holding a spoon, stacking blocks, or pointing to familiar objects. Celebrate attempts, not perfection—this builds confidence as they begin to explore on their own.
2–3 Years (Older Toddlers)
3. What’s the best way to handle tantrums and big emotions?
Stay calm and acknowledge their feelings (“I see you’re upset because…”). Offer limited choices to give them a sense of control. Keep routines consistent to help them feel secure.
3–5 Years (Preschoolers)
4. How do I nurture curiosity and early learning?
Turn learning into play—count snacks, explore nature on walks, or use pretend play to solve problems. Encourage questions and praise efforts to build a love of discovery.
5–7 Years (Early School Age)
5. How can I keep young children motivated to learn?
Use interactive activities and real-life examples—cooking for math, outdoor exploration for science. Celebrate effort, not just correct answers, to foster a growth mindset.
7–10 Years (Older Kids)
6. How do I support emotional and social growth?
Encourage teamwork through sports or group projects. Discuss feelings and friendships openly. Model respect and healthy communication so they learn by example.
All Ages (Birth to 10 Years)
7. What is the most important factor in raising happy, confident children?
Consistent love, patience, and positive role modeling. Children learn by watching adults—your kindness and stability create a strong foundation for every stage of growth.
