Find an after school nanny in Mount Vernon, NY

Hello I am a loving and dependable babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I speak English, French, Spanish, and Fulani, which helps me connect easily with families from different backgrounds. As the older sibling to four younger brothers and sisters, I’ve helped with homework, meals, daily routines, and house chores. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making children feel safe, supported, and happy.

I started working with kids when I interned at the NYPL as a "literacy leader" tutoring 1st & 2nd graders. I worked 1 on 1 with a little girl from the DR, who arrived not knowing any English, and it was so rewarding to bond with her, teach her the language, and witness her joy as she learned. Over the summer I interned at a nursery school and worked with 1-4 year olds! A little bit about me, I'm 23 years old and recently graduated from Lehman College in May 2026 with a degree in Psychology. I'd describe my personality as sweet, funny, and calm! I like working with children because their curiosity and joy are infectious! It's heartwarming to see the world through their pov. I always make sure that the child feels comfortable and supported, I am good at coming up with ideas and activities. I love to teach the children new things, do crafts, explore with them, and most of all create amazing bonds! I want to be able to provide parents with comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones!

Hi families! My name is Yanaira. I am a caring, responsible, and patient babysitter with experience caring for infants and young children. I currently care for a 5-month-old baby, so I am very comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, and keeping babies safe and happy. I am reliable, attentive, and I always follow parents’ instructions carefully. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and calm environment for children. I would love to help your family! I speak Spanish and can help children learn and practice Spanish.😊

I’m a caring, dependable mom of three with many years of hands-on experience raising children from infancy through school age. I truly love being with little ones and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, happy, and understood. When my own children were babies and toddlers, I made their baby food, followed gentle routines, and focused on healthy meals, naps, and lots of one-on-one attention — and I bring that same thoughtful, nurturing care to the families I work with. I believe children learn best through connection and play, so I spend time on the floor engaging with little ones, reading stories, encouraging imaginative play, and getting outside for fresh air and nature walks whenever possible. I’m patient, warm, and very reliable, and I understand how important trust is when you leave your child with someone. I also know that with children, not every moment runs perfectly — and that’s okay. I stay calm, flexible, and supportive when days feel busy or unpredictable. I’m also very comfortable caring for school-age children and helping them stay engaged after busy school days with reading, creative activities, and homework support or gentle direction as needed. I provide in-home care and do not transport children by car, but I’m happy to walk children to and from nearby schools, parks, or activities when appropriate. I value working in partnership with parents, respecting family routines and parenting styles, and communicating openly about each child’s needs and progress. I’m attentive about safety and creating a secure environment, and families can count on me to be punctual and dependable. I’m also comfortable around pets — I’ve cared for fish, guinea pigs, and reptiles, and I adore dogs (cats are lovely too!). I’m happy to provide both consistent weekday care and dependable evening or date-night help so parents can feel confident and at ease. What families can count on from me: 💚Calm, attentive care for infants & toddlers 💚Engaging floor play, reading, & outdoor time 💚Homework help & supportive routines for school-age kids 💚Support with meals, snacks, & nap 💚A caregiver who partners with parents & respects family routines 💚Comfort in homes with pets 💚Reliable help for weekday care & evening/date nights

Hi! My name is Josie, and I’m a rising senior at Fordham University. I offer child care, dog walking/pet care, and household help. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable. I have experience babysitting children in my neighborhood, and I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy keeping kids entertained through games, crafts, reading, outdoor play, music, and movement. I also have professional experience working with young children through Ballet Petite, where I taught weekly dance camps for children ages 3–6. In this role, I managed groups of up to 7 children at a time, led dance activities, helped with transitions, encouraged participation, and made sure every child felt safe, included, and excited to learn. Because of my dance background, I love bringing creativity and movement into babysitting. I’m also happy to help with children’s routines, basic homework, snacks, simple meals, cooking for the children, light cleaning, tidying up play areas, and helping keep things organized while parents are away. I also offer dog walking and pet care. I have a Thai Ridgeback at home, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs and understand the importance of being attentive, patient, and responsible with pets. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, happy, and fun experience for your children and pets!
