Kafesha (Kay) is a natural: she has great instincts, is warm, and builds strong bonds with children. She's also highly professional, respectful, and comfortable with work-from-home parents. For the last six months, she's spent a few mornings a week with my 1 year old (and occasionally my 4 year old - who frequently asks to stay home from day care so he can play with Kay, too). My priority was someone who would actively engage with the baby and Kay does that and more. She's always down on the floor, playing, singing, talking with him, or out on walks. Kay takes initiative: she'll ask about his sleep and what he ate, and will give me updates before she leaves. The baby has definitely grown and blossomed under her care. Our family needs have changed, but Kay will stay on our short-list (and she will share my contact info if anyone would like to discuss further).

Hello! I am a retired Paraprofessional/Teacher Assistant with 20 years of experience working for the NYC Board of Education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and am also a proud mother of two. My driver's license is clean, and I am CPR certified. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience working with special needs kids. Patience, care, and nurturing are qualities I pride myself on. I have significant classroom experience as well as tutoring backgrounds. I have experience working with infants and toddlers. I have worked part-time at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to three years. I find this age group particularly fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoy working with these young children. I possess extensive experience in feeding and supervising their naps. The two-year-old stage is a critical period, during which they acquire communication skills and assimilate new knowledge. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets and can help with walking them if required. Currently, I am working part-time with two sisters, ages five and six. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, taking them to various activities, entertaining them, and preparing dinner when necessary. I am also currently working with a three-year-old girl who is speech-impaired and has some medical issues. My duties include feeding and changing her, as well as engaging her in activities, specifically puzzles and other exercises to improve her motor skills. I also assist with driving her to outside services and school. The mom just recently had a baby so I do help with him as well. My duties includes feeding, changing, taking him for walks. Unfortunately this position will come to an end at the end of August. The child will be starting a new school program and my services are no longer required.

Wendi was our daily sitter for our 4 & 5/6 year old girls for a year and was beyond amazing! She was reliable, an excellent role model, and deeply caring. She drove our girls to afterschool activities, took them to the playground, and on playdates. She was wonderful with our pup and would also make dinner for the girls and help with homework, when needed. We love Wendi and can’t more highly recommend!

Elena is great! My daughter, who doesn't have much experience with other families had a great time with her and her daughters- she was sad to leave and asked when she can see them again. 10/10

My name is Maria, and I am a dedicated nanny with a decade and a half of professional experience in child care, alongside the personal experience of raising a wonderful daughter of my own. My journey with children has not only been a job but a passion that has grown with every year I’ve spent nurturing young minds. I am currently seeking a part-time position and am available to bring my caring nature and expertise to your home on Monday to Friday 6 to 8:30 a.m. and evenings Monday to Thursday 4:30 to 7 p.m. Weekends also available .My schedule is crafted to align with the academic calendar, as I’ve been with a wonderful family for a decade and continue to work with them. However, now that the children are in school, I have additional hours and an abundance of care to extend to another fantastic family. My approach is always thoughtful and centered around the unique needs of each child I look after. I pride myself on being reliable—a trait that has been paramount in maintaining a decade-long relationship with a single family—and hardworking, always willing to go that extra mile to ensure a stable, positive environment for the children in my care. My experience spans caring for children of all ages, from the delightful curiosity of toddlers to the fascinating thoughts of teenagers. I deeply understand the varying needs at different developmental stages, and I’m adept at engaging children in a mix of educational and recreational activities. I can cook, drive, do laundry, run errands – anything you need, no task too big or small. I am looking forward to the opportunity to care for your children, providing them not just with supervision, but with a nurturing, fun environment where they can thrive, learn, and feel at ease.

Maria is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She has been with my family for about a year and a half now. She gets my kids off the bus at around 3 and watches them until I get home (4-5 days/week), generally around 7. She is more than willing to help you out, with whatever you need. When asked to do something in particular, her pat answer is "no problem". She is a a great driver and VERY responsible. She has not once left me shorthanded and has helped me out on NUMEROUS occasions when I was in a jam. For example, she even slept over when night when my husband and I went away! Her help around the house, wonderful can do attitude, responsibility, and understanding of children is a home run. My kids are getting older so I do not need help with the kids as much as I did. Maria is a treasure and I have come to think of her as a good friend. I am going to miss all of her help! If you are unsure, give her a chance - you will not be sorry.

Hi everyone, I'm Arlene a capable , responsible , fun , caring, loving nanny and I'm also a trained new born care specialist, I'm certified with over 16 years experience as a nanny as well . I'm trained in circumcision care, umbilical cord care ,getting babies on schedule and helping new parents transition into this new adventure in their lives. As a nanny I've grown to understand that every family and situation is different so I pride myself in learning new ways to bring stability and joy to each family I work with . Growing up I was the eldest in our home and therefore was left at times to to care of my younger siblings . I'm fun to have around , your children will be happy to have me as their nanny.I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them especially babies is rewarding but sometimes challenging. Over the years, I have developed special techniques that prove useful in calming young babies, including the most restless ones. I am in favor of a structured day as it gives children an opportunity to follow a schedule, I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. All my employers have been happy with my work and have often complemented me on my expertise in taking care of young children.I'm certified in CPR and First Aid as well and l have since then kept my certifications up to date .I believe such knowledge is important for a nanny and can be a life saver in case of an injury or accident.l have references available upon request , likewise a background check. I know I can be an asset to your family if you decide to allow me to be a part of it .

Arlene is knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and above all, a nurturing caregiver to our son. She has provided us and our four month old with quality care and is deserving of a five star review! In addition to her knowledge and experience she has a very kind disposition and a strong work ethic. Arlene arrives at work on time and has accommodated us on several occasions by changing her schedule to help us. Arlene is extremely attentive and has a wonderful way with children. Arlene communicates well with us and sends updates and pictures during the day to keep us informed. We have made the right choice by inviting Arlene into our home and our family.

Hi, I’m Adama! I’m a full-time finance student and CPR & First Aid certified, currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting (evenings, weekends, date nights, or short shifts). I have 3–4 years of childcare experience, including caring for children in both home and program settings. I previously worked as a youth mentor with So Shell Butterflies (HANAC) and provided care for a family with three children ages 3–12. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I enjoy keeping children engaged through play, homework help, and outdoor activities. I adapt easily to each family’s routines and prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m best suited for families looking for a responsible, dependable sitter rather than full-time childcare. I look forward to supporting families who need flexible, quality care.

Hello 👋 My name is Lillian I have provided child care and taught preschool for children ages newborn to school age for 25+ years. I'm currently a former full time nanny with a loving family and children, whom I love dearly, their are ages 6 1/2 and 3 1/2. I started with them full time in April, 2023, and unfortunately they are both starting school full time this fall. I will not be needed full time, as they would like to me to stay on part-time. That schedule would not work for me, unless I can find a part time position to fill in the gap. I hold two degrees, a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and an Associates in Massage Therapy. I'm a very hardworking, fun, energetic individual, who loves music, and playing as if I'm a tourist in NYC, even though I was born here. 🤣🤣 If you are in need of a full-time or part time nanny, and are interested in getting to know more about my nanny background, please DM me. Thank you so much Resume and references are provided if needed.
