Find an after school nanny in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! My name is Yaskara, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids and teens. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel safe in a positive and loving environment. I’m known for being responsible, patient, and reliable, and I always treat every child like my own child with care and respect. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, and light household tasks to make parents’ lives a little easier. I’m comfortable with pets, have my own transportation, and I also use public transit around the city when needed. I speak both English and Spanish, which helps me communicate easily with families and kids from different backgrounds. I’m available for part-time, after-school, weekend, or date-night babysitting anywhere in NYC. Families who’ve worked with me describe me as dependable, caring, and easy to work with.

Hi families! My name is Lulu, and I’m a Montessori-trained early childhood educator with a deep love for nurturing curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young children. I recently spent several years in London working in both hospitality and family environments before moving to New York, and I bring a warm, calm, and thoughtful approach to caregiving. Most recently I worked as a Lead Guide in a Montessori Young Toddler classroom, supporting children 15-24 months through independence-building activities, emotional development, and hands-on learning. I love creating environments where children feel safe to explore the world around them while developing their own sense of capability. Alongside childcare, I’m also a trained yoga and meditation practitioner, and I enjoy bringing elements of mindfulness, movement, and calm into the day—whether that’s through breathing exercises, stretching, or simply creating peaceful moments in a busy toddler schedule. Creativity is a big part of my life as well. I work in floristry and love incorporating nature into activities with children—flower arranging, nature walks, seasonal crafts, and sensory play inspired by the outdoors. I believe children thrive when they can engage with beauty, texture, and the natural world. I also volunteered with 240 Wellbeing, supporting community mental health initiatives, which has deepened my understanding of emotional care, empathy, and supporting both children and families through life’s ups and downs. Families often describe me as calm, attentive, and deeply engaged with children. I value building trusting relationships with both parents and little ones, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where children feel seen, respected, and joyful. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family!

Hi! I'm Emily. I'm 27, from and have been living in NYC for about 5 years. I'm in Clinton Hill/Ft. Greene. I'm currently looking for a childcare role - I have the most experience with little ones, newborn - 12mo+ . I've been working closely with a high-profile Brooklyn family since their son was born last January - starting at the newborn stage and now he's 15 months old. I still work with them as a date night sitter - I'm just looking for something with a more predictable schedule. I'm used to managing full days start to finish, including bottles and early solids, naps, sleep schedules, overnight help, and I've even traveled with them internationally. A bit about me - originally from Massachusetts, I've worked with kids for years. I taught kindergarten, worked as a sailing instructor, and have babysat consistently since high school and college. Outside of that, I love doing hot pilates and yoga and taking advantage of all that NYC has to offer. Happy to provide references!
