Find an after school nanny in Corona, NY

Hello to all! I am a rising Junior at Columbia University studying philosophy looking to babysit. I have worked babysitting jobs before back home in DC for parents of my school. Throughout those experiences, I've always appreciated the connection I was able to form with the kids as I watched them progress and grow. I have also worked as a soccer coach for refugee children through a program offered at my high school. Through this experience I was able to better understand how to lead groups of kids for physical activity while also making sure they are just having fun. Furthermore, I come from an international background and can speak three languages (English, French, and German) and really enjoy imparting some linguistic knowledge on the kids who are willing to learn. In doing this job, it is my goal to be someone the kid can laugh with, learn with, and play games with as I take the weight of having children off your shoulders for hours at a time.

Hey there my name is Blake! I’m a 24 year old who’s been living in New York Bronx with a roommate for about a year now. I was raised in the Ivory Coast which makes me fluently bilingual in French. I’ve had a lot more experiences with caregiving than childcare before, and would like to further expand my experience with kids because they are a lot more fun and jovial and very heartfelt little creatures. They also have a lot more energy, which I do too. I was a nanny for about over year before moving to New York, and It was amazing to me, to see how much you can learn from those you’re meant to be teaching. It was a little boy of the age of 6 who had a lot of curiosity. This was actually particular to him, as he was a very smart boy. My time with him was mostly play, feeding, staying home, shower, going to the park, and whatever activities we could find to do. Music, dancing and lots of jumps were very common activities to him. It seemed to be very stimulating, or sometimes very heartfelt which was either funny to watch or cool to live in general. It’s been my pleasure to share these little bit of things with you and I can’t wait to meet you and your babies for more to happen. Thank you!

Hi! I’m a sophomore at Bennington college studying English and Education. I have experience as a backpacking counselor and reading and writing tutor. I love working with kids, and would be happy to help out this summer!!

Hello! My name is Sila, I am 29 years old. I completed a degree in Preschool Education in my country, and after graduating I came to the United States through the Au Pair program to care for children. My favorite age group is infants, babies and toddlers, and I have extensive experience with them. I was an Au Pair for a baby from 2 months to 15 months old and his 2-year-old sister for a year, but I was taking care of the newborn and the responsibility was on me all day-full time. Morning and night routines, preparing meals, giving him baths, taking him outside, transferring to solid foods, helping with motor skill, burping him, feeding on schedule and creating a calm environment for his growth -everything was my responsibility. We enjoyed going to the park, doing puzzles, visiting the library, making rock and leaf collections, reading picture books together, playing with sensory toys, and encouraging crawling and walking. After my Au Pair year, I cared for an 18-month-old toddler for 1.5 years, until she started school. I gained experience with potty training, sleep training, preparing a variety of different meals, doing activities with her, and participating in various events. Also we enjoyed playing with princess toys and Barbies, going to the park, having playdates at the library, baking cookies, coloring, and playing with playdough. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 5 months to 14 months old. My responsibilities included preparing bottles and healthy meals, introducing solid foods, maintaining feeding and nap schedules, diaper changes, baths, developmental play, outdoor walks, and supporting important milestones such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also worked part-time or one time job for a lot of families, and in my home country I worked in both a kindergarten and a daycare. I love cooking and can prepare different kinds of healthy meals for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training( American Red Cross), and I have a valid driver's license. I can provide references from my Au Pair family and the most recent family I worked for. I am fully vaccinated (Flu, Tdap, and COVID vaccines). I am also happy to help with light housework and to support mothers. I don't smoke, and I love animals.

Hi! I'm Mariana! I've been working as a nanny since I was 18 (now I’m 25), and caring for children is definitely my favorite job. I've worked with newborns, babies, toddlers, and older kids, including twins and families with multiple children. I also had the opportunity to care for three children on my own while their parents were traveling in Europe, which gave me even more confidence managing busy routines, keeping everyone on schedule, and making sure the kids felt safe, happy, and loved while their parents were away. I'm comfortable with everything that comes with caring for kids—feeding, diaper changes, naps, meal prep, bath time, bedtime routines, school pick-ups, and keeping little ones happy and on schedule. One of my favorite things about working with children is watching them grow up. Seeing a baby take their first steps, say their first words in Spanish, or learn something new never gets old to me. Those little moments are what make me love this job. I'm bilingual (English & Spanish), patient, and easy to work with. I also don't mind helping with children's laundry, tidying up after the kids, or preparing meals and snacks. My goal is always to make parents feel comfortable knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!
