Find an after school nanny in East Elmhurst, NY

Hello families! I am a teacher of English as a New Language at a middle school here in Brooklyn, supporting students grades 5-8 with their English language acquisition. I come with an extensive background, and am excited to find roles with potential for a long-term partnership! The cornerstones of my style would be fun, structure, and close collaboration with the family. What this looks like is unique to each family and each role, and I come with lots of questions. It's important to me to establish a foundation of communication early on and to align my approach with the family's values. In the past, this has meant getting outside, art or cooking projects, indoor play with games and manipulatives, and reading, all organized around meal and rest/nap times. I have a mellow personality (more of a listener) but am also physically active and all-in for a game of tag or a day of swimming! Being an educator, I enjoy a good field trip and am happy to take children on outings. I am safety-conscious and attentive at all times, and I like to minimize screens including my own. What I love most about childcare is the bond developed with the child and the memories I've made, even with short-term roles. I hold a Bachelors in Political Science and a TESOL certification. I'm happy to provide a resume with detail on my 10+ years of work with children, as well as references and a copy of my first aid certification, upon request. Looking forward to connecting!

Hi my name is Sam and I am a creative, warm, reliable, and experienced caregiver with a deep passion for child development and supporting families. With a background in caring for toddlers through school-aged children, I bring a calm, structured, and engaging approach to every household. I specialize in creating age-appropriate activities that foster learning, creativity, and emotional growth whether it’s through imaginative play with toddlers, supporting preschoolers through transitions, or helping older children with homework, reading, and problem-solving. I’m dependable, adaptable, calm, communicative, and comfortable managing busy schedules, school pickups, light housekeeping, meal prep, and navigating NYC with children. My goal is to become a trusted, consistent presence in your child’s life and a dependable partner in your family's routine.

Hi! I am Jasmine and I am a 23 years old post grad student in nyc. I am offering child care, petcare, senior care, and household services. I am the second oldest of five siblings, so caregiving has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My siblings range from age 7 to 18 (with a 29 year old older sister who also has a 7-year-old child), and I’ve been a trusted family babysitter and support system across many ages and stages. Beyond family care, I’ve worked as an after-school support teacher for grades 1–3, helping with homework, routines, and emotional regulation. I also spent over a year as a personal assistant to a dermatologist, where I helped care for her 3-year-old and supported her family after the arrival of a newborn this past spring. I’m calm, attentive, organized, and very comfortable balancing multiple needs at once. I’m a Washington, DC native and earned my bachelor’s degree from Boston University. I’m bilingual in Spanish and English, love cooking nutritious, kid-friendly whole foods, and genuinely enjoy creating warm, structured environments where children feel safe and supported. I’m currently taking a break from office work to be more present, hands-on, and connected in my roles caring for people is what energizes me. I also have extensive experience caring for pets and animals for extended periods and am happy to help with any furry (or not-so-furry) family members as well. Long-term, I hope to become a teacher or professor, and I bring that patience, curiosity, and care into everything I do. Please let me know if I can send you my profile for trusted house sitter and taskr tp learn more about me.

My name is Paula and I’m currently a college student with almost four years of experience caring for children ranging from ages 2 to 11. I’m finishing up a BBA degree and plan to get my teacher’s certification after I graduate in January. I have experience with school pick ups, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, playtime activities, and housekeeping. I’m comfortable and have experience with caring for multiple children at once. I grew up with animals at home and I currently live with two cats :) Families I’ve worked with know me as dependable, patient, organized, enthusiastic and easy to communicate with. I aim to make children feel safe, heard, and cared for while making sure parents feel confident leaving their children in my care. I love the arts (and crafts) and in my spare time I practice yoga, draw, paint, craft, read and write. I like incorporating my hobbies in child-care and aim to be a responsible, pleasant person for your child to look up to.

Hi families! My name is Faith, and I’m a proud Puerto Rican who genuinely loves working with children. I currently work as a paraprofessional in the NYC Department of Education, where I support children with autism. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, communication, consistency, and understanding that every child is unique and may learn and express themselves differently. I’m a very nurturing, hands-on, and attentive caregiver. When I’m caring for your child, they will have my full attention, I love being present, listening to them, encouraging them, and making sure they feel comfortable, valued, and heard. I’m also big on building confidence and self-esteem while encouraging positive behavior, independence, and good habits in a way that feels supportive rather than strict. One of my favorite things about working with children is using my imagination! I’m naturally creative and love coming up with fun activities that keep kids engaged, whether that’s arts and crafts, dancing, reading, imaginative play, or creating our own little adventures. I love to read myself and would be excited to help children discover books and develop a love for reading too. I’m also a very resourceful person and love cooking. I can make a great meal even when I’m working with very little, and I enjoy getting children involved in age-appropriate activities when possible. I’m warm, humble, encouraging, and naturally nurturing I may even spoil your little ones with lots of love! At the same time, I understand that being a caregiver means setting appropriate boundaries and knowing when to be the responsible adult rather than simply being their friend. Most importantly, I want children in my care to feel safe, respected, encouraged, and genuinely happy. My goal is for families to feel confident knowing their children are in caring, attentive, and capable hands.
