Find an after school nanny in Ridgewood, NY

Hello! My name is Sophie, and I am a compassionate, creative, and highly organized caregiver with a strong background in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus in Film Production from The Pennsylvania State University, where I honed my skills in clear communication, problem-solving, and multitasking, abilities that translate seamlessly into providing attentive, high-quality care for children. Currently, I work as an Assistant Teacher for two-year-olds at The Learning Experience, where I support lead teachers in delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that foster early learning and social-emotional growth. Working with toddlers has deepened my understanding of this critical stage of development, from language acquisition to building routines and encouraging independence. I take great joy in guiding little ones through their daily discoveries, using patience, positivity, and creative play to create a warm and structured environment. Prior to this role, I served as an Au Pair, where I provided dedicated care for two children (ages 6 and 8). In this position, I managed daily schedules, planned engaging outings and activities, and fostered a safe, supportive environment that encouraged cooperation and positive social development. I also communicated regularly with parents to ensure their goals and expectations were consistently met. My experience as a Substitute Teacher in the Manheim Township School District further deepened my understanding of child development across grade levels. Working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade, I adapted lesson plans on the spot, managed diverse classroom dynamics, and built instant rapport with students and staff alike. Earlier, as a Day Care Teacher at U-Gro Day Care, I designed and implemented age-appropriate lesson plans, used positive reinforcement to guide behavior, and adapted my teaching to meet the unique needs of every child. I am also CPR-certified and have all required child care clearances, ensuring that your family's safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. Beyond my professional credentials, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for helping children learn and grow. Whether it's organizing fun and educational outings, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I am committed to supporting each child's emotional and developmental well-being.

My name is Letícia Leite, a 26-year-old nanny with over 11 years of childcare experience (9 years abroad + 2 years in the USA). CPR and First Aid certified by the American Red Cross, valid driver’s license, native Portuguese and strong English (level 4). I bring my calm 1 year 7 month old son with me

Hi, my name is Yvonne, and I'm a freshman at LIM College for Fashion Media in New York. Originally from Washington State, I'm currently in the process of making NYC my permanent new home. Growing up in a big family with two younger siblings and lots of cousins has given me plenty of experience with childcare. I've also had the joy of caring for our three family dogs back home. I'm eager to offer babysitting services, including homework help and fun activities, as I've always enjoyed spending time with kids. Additionally, I'm happy to assist with light household tasks such as cleaning and running errands. I'm enthusiastic about meeting new families and providing reliable care. If you're looking for a friendly and responsible caregiver, I'd be delighted to connect and discuss how I can support your family's needs.
