Find experienced nannies in Manhasset, NY

Hi, my name is Kiara but I go by Kiwi! I'm a native New Yorker from Brooklyn and I have over 4 years of childcare experience. I worked at a daycare in Queens (Future Sunshine Daycare) part-time, and went full-time after about 6 months as the owner is also a foster mother and needed help with her 3 foster children. I started living-in 4 days a week for about a year while still working for the daycare, thus caring for 8 kids (2 infants aged 4-6 months, 1 toddler aged 3 and 5 older children aged 6-9) along with 2 other alternating workers. I worked there for 2 years alternating between part-time and full-time after the foster children moved on. This passing summer I worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp in Plymouth, Vermont. I worked there throughout the whole summer as a camp counselor monitoring kids ages 4-11. Since then I've been babysitting for different families and providing occasional coverage for workers at the daycare. I am CPR and AED certified for both adults and children, my red cross certification ID is 10VNC1Q.

With 9 years of childcare experience: I am an energetic, creative, and dependable sitter who loves helping children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to explore the world around them. My approach to childcare is deeply rooted in family and community. As one of the oldest members of my family’s younger generation, I naturally grew into a role centered around care, responsibility, and making younger children feel safe and comfortable. Those experiences raised me to be adaptable, attentive to individual needs, and comfortable with all kinds of personalities. For nearly a decade, childcare has been one of my primary sources of work and has given me experience caring for children across a wide range of ages. I’m comfortable supporting the full rhythm of a family’s day, including school and activity pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, meal preparation, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the children. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified. I do not have my own car, but do have a driver’s license if needed. I also bring an academic and professional background in advocacy and research. I hold a B.S. in Political Science with a minor in Ethics and completed two years of law school. After completing two years, I realized it was best to ground my advocacy within the realm of childcare responsibilities. When I’m not caring for kids, I am applying my legal training through independent research -- holding a strong focus of community advocacy. Ultimately, I love that childcare provides the opportunity to combine my creativity, sense of responsibility, and passion for working with children in a meaningful way. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call! I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can support your childcare needs. I’m excited to bring my passion and positive attitude to families in New York.

I have early childhood training. I know CPR and first aid. I am certified as a CNA of New York State. I genuinely love children and always look out for their best interests. I have fond memories of every family I worked for and every Xmas and Channucka I get cards with pictures from "all my children" It is when I can be with children and play with them and help them that I feel most fullfilled. I have excellent references.
