Find an after school nanny in Ridgewood, NY

Hi, I'm Bella. I've spent close to a decade with private families — first in Southern California where I grew up, and now in New York. I'm calm under pressure, comfortable with infants through tweens (including kids with special needs and twins), and I think the best nannies are the ones whose presence makes the apartment feel a degree quieter, not louder. I'm pursuing a master's in Computer Science at Pace University, live in Tribeca, and can be at most downtown apartments in fifteen minutes. References available from every family I've worked with. Always happy to start with a paid trial day. Rates run $30–$40/hr depending on the day and number of kids.

Hello! My name is Maura, and I’m a 27 year old childcare professional with over 12 years of experience. As the oldest of five, I naturally stepped into a caretaker role early on, beginning to babysit at 15. From there, my passion for working with children grew! I spent my high school years helping neighbors and family friends, continued to nanny throughout college, and supported students with homework and after school routines. After graduating in 2020, I ran a learning pod for four young children, where I helped guide their virtual schooling and created a structured, supportive environment that felt as close to a classroom as possible. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants through school-age, and I have experience balancing the needs of multiple children at once. I’m also happy to help with household tasks and am very comfortable with pets. I’ve cared for families with dogs and cats and love including them in the daily routine. I aim to bring warmth, patience, structure, and fun into every home I partner with. I’d love to get to know your family and support your children as they grow!

Over the course of four years, I have developed a deep understanding and hands-on experience in childcare, focusing on fostering a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children. My experience has ranged from direct care to managing daily routines, and I have worked with children of various ages, Overall, my experience in childcare has equipped me with the skills to provide a supportive and enriching environment for children, while also fostering strong relationships with families. My passion for early childhood development continues to drive my approach to care, ensuring that each child feels valued and nurtured.

I have had the opportunity to care for children ranging in age from approximately 8 months to 7 years old. I have always distinguished myself as a very active individual—constantly establishing routines and fostering good habits to make the parents' job easier. I am currently learning English—a language I already understand—and with my previous employers,even though their native language was French, we maintained excellent communication. With the last child I cared for, I was with him from the age of 6 months until he was two and a half years old, at which point he started school. I taught him to crawl quickly, to speak, to identify sounds, and to walk; I personally prepared all his meals, from soft foods to solid foods; and I effortlessly instilled in him a love for vegetables and taught him to let us know when he needed to use the potty.It is clearly an example of a very young child who speaks, understands, and likes three languages: Spanish, English, and French.
