Anya S., Nanny in Melrose, NY 12121 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello there! My name is Anya and I am here to help lighten your load, helping to make your busy schedule a little easier. I'm energetic, responsible, reliable, kind, compassionate, and caring. I have always loved and enjoyed working with children. My experience starts when I was 13 watching not only my niece but my mom’s friends kids. When I turned 17 I started working for the YMCA at an after school program, I worked with the YMCA for 2 years till they unfortunately closed due to the pandemic. During the pandemic I went to school for childhood education. I worked as teaching assistant which included my 7 years of working experience with children. I most recently was a nanny for a family who had an 8 month old and was with them for almost two years. It is something I love to do and am passionate about. Not only do I love caring for children, but I also love helping with things that need to be done around the house. I am willing to help out in anyway I can to make things easier for you and your family.

Cynthia D., Nanny in Melrose, NY 12121 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi parents! I'm a nanny with over 12 years of experience with children. I've just relocated to Troy/NY with my husband after living in London for the past 5 years. My last role as a nanny lasted four years and the kids were two weeks and two years old when I started. During that period, I also babysat for many different families through an app called Bubble which provides reviews from all the parents –I've always had a great relationship with all of them, especially the kids! I'm happy to send you the link so you can check. Right before moving I had gotten a UK background check which I can provide as well. I'm also Paediatric First Aid trained. I’m bubbly, caring, dependable and open minded. I truly love spending time with little ones, whether it's reading stories, playing games, or just being a calm and reassuring presence while parents are away! I come with a strong background in caring for people and I bring all of that warmth into my time with children. I'm a natural communicator and will always keep you in the loop so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I genuinely believe that every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and happy, and that's exactly the kind of environment I love to create. I'd be happy to be a trusted presence in your family's life, even just for a few hours here and there. Don't hesitate to reach out, I'd love to hear about your family and see if we're a great fit! 😊

Cynthia was our full time nanny from July 2021 to September 2025, providing sole charge care for our two children, aged two weeks and two years old at the time. From the very beginning, Cynthia brought warmth, reliability, and deep knowledge of child development. From the earliest stages (nappy changes, feeding, sleep routines, and soothing) to supporting milestones such as crawling, walking, talking, and potty training, she has been incredibly hands-on and proactive. Her thoughtful approach ensures that both children feel safe, stimulated, and nurtured at every stage. She was the best at supporting both of our children's development, tailoring her care ot their individual needs and personalities. Whether organising creative indoor play, planning outings to the park or museum, or simply engaging them ni thoughtful conversation and storytelling, Cynthia has always prioritised learning through play and emotional connection. Her approach is structured yet nurturing, and she has an innate ability to set boundaries with kindness and clarity. She has helped our children build healthy routines, supported their motor and sensory development, and encouraged their growing independence with great patience. We especially appreciate how she promotes language development and social skills through age-appropriate activities and meaningful interaction. Beyond childcare, Cynthia also managed light housekeeping duties related to the children, such as keeping their rooms tidy, preparing nutritious meals, organising their belongings, and doing their laundry. Cynthia is a trustworthy, kind, and capable professional who became a truly valued part of our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking an experienced, compassionate, and professional nanny. She will be a wonderful asset to any household lucky enough to have her.

Makayla D., Nanny in Melrose, NY 12121 with 2 years of paid experience

I just moved here last year from Cleveland OH, I am going to be a junior in college but doing it remotely. I have very flexible hours and I am very good at communicating with parents. Since I was a young girl, I have always been babysitting/care taking for my neighbors, cousins, siblings and more. In Ohio I was a nanny for 2.5 years for 3 children. I was able to take them to any places, appointments, practices, and more that they needed to be at. I also had to cook meals, prepare snacks, help with homework and more. I loved taking the kids I took care of to the park, on walks, or really anything that they wanted to do. Since being in NY I was the Nanny for a family with a 5 and 7 year old. As well as a Nanny for a family with a 6 month old. I am CPR certified and I am studying to be a Physical Therapist at the time. Id love to meet in person or over the phone to discuss more and of course meet you and your child.

I recently graduated from Russell Sage College with my Bachelors in Health Sciences to move on the graduate school for occupational therapy, throughout my time in college I have had many jobs in child care. These include The Rensselaer County ARC as a camp counselor for children with and without disabilities. The ages at this camp were from 5-25. I also worked at ABC Sports and Fitness at the front desk and in the day care. These children ranged from 9 months to 12 years old and also included children with disabilities. Along with those paid jobs, I have my own brother who is currently 20 years old and has Down syndrome. I am pet friendly, willing to clean, and make meals or snacks.
