Find an after school nanny in Howard Beach, NY

Hi! My name is Mekdelawit, and I’m currently a senior at Fordham University studying Economics. I’ve been working with children since I was 12 years old and truly love what I do. I bring an energetic, easygoing, and dependable approach to every family I work with. My experience spans all age groups from newborns to pre-teens covering everything from school pick-ups and activity transportation to meal prep, homework help, and diaper changes. Alongside childcare, my background includes six years in high-touch guest relations at establishments like Little Owl and Le Coucou. That experience trained me to anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and stay calm and proactive under pressure skills that translate directly into running a smooth, well-organized household. Thanks to this background, I’m very comfortable with running errands, light housekeeping, and household management. I’m also a big animal lover! Having grown up in a multi-pet home, I am well-versed in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles (like bearded dragons), hedgehogs, betta fish, and parakeets. I’m happy to provide strong references upon request to give your family complete peace of mind. I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can best support your household!

Hello! My name is Eva and I am excited to help with babysitting/caregiving needs that your family might have! I am a graduate of Williams College with a double major in Psychology and Theatre with honors--within the psychology major I focused much of my studies on gender/sexuality and children's development. I work at Brooklyn Friends School as an Extended Day Guide. In this role, I work with k-12 primarily-- in addition to work with 3rd to 4th grade, and subbing in the Pre-School and lower school. I also work as a substitute teacher at Congregation Beth Elohim's Early Childhood Center working twos, threes, and fours classes. I am a proud aunt to two nephews and have grown up babysitting and caregiving for my many younger cousins. I am a creative, energetic, and kind person and love to do arts and crafts, dramatic play, and storytime.

I have 3 years of hands-on experience caring for children. I am patient, nurturing, and dependable. I stay calm under pressure and remain attentive to children’s needs. I am also very organized, which helps in keeping routines and schedules on track. I love engaging kids with educational activities, crafts, and imaginative games that make learning fun. I also speak French.

A Bit About Me – My Journey in Childcare Back in 2017, I found myself stepping into the world of childcare, mostly curious (and a little excited) about the fun, messy, and unpredictable world of daycare. What started as just a job quickly turned into something more—I realized how much I genuinely enjoy being around kids and helping them grow. That spark led me to enroll at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn to study childhood education more seriously. For about 3.5 years, I wore a lot of different hats in daycares—everything from assistant teacher to lead teacher—working with little ones as young as 6 months all the way up to 5 years old. After that, I shifted gears a bit and spent a year in afterschool programs with the older kids (ages 5 to 13) as a group leader. I’ve also been a helping hand for a few families on the side, stepping in whenever they’ve needed extra support. What I love most are the everyday moments with the kids—the silly laughs, the unexpected questions, the small wins that mean everything. No two days are ever the same, and that’s what keeps it exciting. For me, it’s all about being part of a child’s journey, watching them grow, and knowing I played even a small part in it.

Hi, my name is Taina and I’m an NYU Tandon School of Engineering 2020 graduate in Biomolecular Science. I’m a pre-med school student studying to become a doctor and biomedical engineer. I have 10+ years of experience with babysitting/tutoring, being from Queens, N.Y. I was always babysitting/tutoring young boys and girls as young as newborns all the way up to the age of 15. I love children and being a babysitter allows me to form a connection with kids and gives me a good sense of what it means to be a caretaker and provider for my future profession in the medical career. I hope to one day become a pediatrician and serve the coming generations of our future. I’m also a Licensed Emergency Medical Technician and I’m extremely knowledgeable in my field. I’m very patient and responsible and have a true passion for working with kids. If you have any additional questions for me I’m always happy to answer them. My hourly rate is also negotiable based on family size and responsibilities. Thank you so much and have an amazing day!
