Find an after school nanny in Woodside, NY

Hi Prospective Parent(s)! My name is Fiona and I’m a junior at Colby College studying International Relations, Economics, and Chinese. I’m back home in New York City for summer break and would love to help out any families in need of childcare. I have prior experience caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children and have babysat since high school. I really enjoy spending quality time with the children I care for and getting to know their personalities and quirks. Though I may be younger than some other applicants, I take safety very seriously and will make it my number one priority. Also, I’m still at an age where I can relate to most children :) Notes: fluent in Mandarin, good knowledge with navigating the city and public transportation, no problem with being technology free. Note: I require 50% of the booking for same day cancellations

A little about myself — My name is Amanda (it’s also my legal name alongside my Burmese) I’m a Design&Tech student at Parsons; I took a gap year before I got to New York and spent the year doing community service by teaching English to underprivileged/orphaned kids in Burma, along with several law internships (big leap between left&right brain). Over the years I’ve found that not only do I get along with children, I’m also the floofy-lucid-dreamy person among my friends haha. I like to think I’m very easygoing and fun to be around and I’m very good with playing along the lines of silly & stern. I spend most of my time with kids (if we’re indoors) talking to them, asking many many questions, and always making them feel like their voices are heard as a person and not just as a child, but of course I’ve also always been a sporty person so we usually go on adventures around the city and play sports!! I love drawing from these experiences and using them in my creative conceptual work as well. I’m also a HUGE reader, and it’s part of the package that you may lose your children to the harry potter cult. P.S. Once I dropped a bowl of fudge in front of a kid, and I said, “Oh fudge” which shows that I am child appropriate AND have a sense of humor.

Hello, I'm Xiomara. I absolutely adore working with children. I have experience with babies; toddlers and pre-school age, as well as pre- teens in an academic setting. I am sweet, nurturing and very caring. Parents and teachers I have worked with describe me as warm, very patient, kind, empathetic and enthusiastic. I started working with children, and families, when I was 18 years old. I treat children with love as if they were my own. I am intuitive and attentive to all aspects of a infant needs, from diaper changes to being bottle fed, cuddles, tummy time, nap time to making healthy purées. I also love to read, speak and sing to them throughout the day. With older kids, I promote fun and positivity, safety and encourage a child's natural talent. I can also prepare healthy food, keep kids engaged in play, and read stories while giving voices to each character! I love to arrange play dates, help children meet & make new friends, as well as introduce them to their surroundings, neighborhood & nature. I am active and participate in every activity from arts, music classes, to the playground. There's always an adventure to be had! I love cats and have taken care of them and dogs, if you have pets it's ok with me. I am a native of New York City. I have worn many hats throughout life but I feel working with children is the most meaningful and fulfilling line of work. I hope to meet a family that would like me to be a part of a team to help keep their children safe, happy, loved and learning every day. In my spare time, I am passionate about the healing arts, music, meditation, nutrition, writing, film, photography, dancing, swimming, cycling, & yoga. I am currently looking for opportunities to care for children Part Time or Full time for the right family. Please let me know if you have any questions, I hope to hear from you soon! Best wishes, Xiomara

Hello everyone! My name is Marieme and this spring I just graduated from NYU with my master’s in public health. I am fully vaccinated and did receive the booster, so safety first is big on my end! I’ve decided to babysit during times I dont have class so my availability is open and subject to change. I am extremely friendly and I’m definitely a people-person. I am great with kids and I have lots of experience. I am an older sister to two, so I am naturally good at looking after children. Besides my own younger siblings, I’ve babysat professionally for about 5 years now. I love to play games with kids and I am very active and fun to be around. I was CPR certified, however my certification has expired. Luckily, I remember the training, just in case! I can speak English, French, Wolof ( A West-African Dialect), and I am now learning Spanish. I can help with homework, keep kids active/ entertained, and simply watch them attentively. I am fun yet mature and responsible. I hope we can meet soon!

I have 10 years of childcare experience and look forward to working with your family. At this time I am unable to accept unpaid in-person interview requests. Thank you!
