Find an after school nanny in Springfield Gardens, NY

Hi! My name is Andrea and I’m a lifeguard and a swim instructor at the YMCA. I’m certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I also have an extra certification in teaching kids with disabilities such as ADHD or autism. I’ve been a swim instructor at the ymca for about two years now and have taught kids of different ages and backgrounds. I understand how draining it can be to take care of kids, which is why I’d like to be of help to parents who are overworked or even might just need some time for self-care. I also have a lot of experience with pets and especially cats. I've done a lot of research about pet care on my own time since I own two cats who I greatly care for. I’m definitely open to feeding, walking, or playing with pets. They deserve just as much attention and time as kids! I can cook as well but I am more confident when it comes to vegan/vegetarian recipes. However, I’m open to learning any new kinds of recipes that are out of my comfort zone.

Hi! My name is Nicole, but I go by Friday. I’m 25 years old and currently offer childcare, pet care, and household support services. In addition to childcare I spent the last 3 years as a community organizer and legal advocate. I have experience with tutoring, as well as supporting high school students with portfolio development. I’ve also led taekwondo classes for children ages 5–16, which has given me strong experience working with kids of different ages, energy levels, and learning styles. I’m a cat owner myself and have experience walking and caring for both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with pet care as well. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit!

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am offering childcare services. I am originally from Arizona but moved to Brooklyn about two months ago. I graduated from Northern Arizona University with my degree in Early Elementary and Special Education. I have experience in different classrooms, from toddler ages up to second grade. I have also been a camp counselor for multiple years and have experience in babysitting as well. I do also have CPR and first aide certification. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring individual who enjoys spending their time with children and ensuring them to feel safe, happy, and supported. I am attentive and love creating and helping children engage in age-appropriate experiences. I am comfortable in helping with routines and keeping spaces tidy.

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from SDSU in Psychology with a focus in child development. I am a preschool/afterschool program teacher working with infants up to school-age. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home development specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 who needed a little extra support or those with developmental delays. I assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities - focusing on fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication skills, and more. I additionally have experience working with children with special needs and developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, children with feeding needs/allergies, and SMA type 1. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am a proud owner of two cats and I love animals and the outdoors. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you!!
