Find an after school nanny in Yonkers, NY

Hi, my name is Deisha, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am a dependable, caring, and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children, a role I genuinely love and am passionate about. Although I have not worked as a nanny recently, I have spent the past 5+ years working as a social worker, where I have continued to work closely with children and families. This experience has strengthened my communication, patience, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children on the autism spectrum, and I understand that every child has their own personality, needs, and way of learning. I am attentive, understanding, and enjoy creating engaging, hands-on activities such as arts and crafts, learning games, and imaginative play. I believe a little laughter and creativity can go a long way in helping children feel comfortable and confident. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment while assisting with daily routines, meals, homework, and activities. My goal is to provide families with dependable care while creating a warm environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow.

As an experienced au pair and childcare provider, I have developed strong skills in nurturing, educating, and engaging with children.

My passion for building meaningful emotional connections and assisting with Portuguese language learning drives my commitment to fostering both educational development and joyful recreational experiences.

I’m a caring, dependable mom of three with many years of hands-on experience raising children from infancy through school age. I truly love being with little ones and creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, happy, and understood. When my own children were babies and toddlers, I made their baby food, followed gentle routines, and focused on healthy meals, naps, and lots of one-on-one attention — and I bring that same thoughtful, nurturing care to the families I work with. I believe children learn best through connection and play, so I spend time on the floor engaging with little ones, reading stories, encouraging imaginative play, and getting outside for fresh air and nature walks whenever possible. I’m patient, warm, and very reliable, and I understand how important trust is when you leave your child with someone. I also know that with children, not every moment runs perfectly — and that’s okay. I stay calm, flexible, and supportive when days feel busy or unpredictable. I’m also very comfortable caring for school-age children and helping them stay engaged after busy school days with reading, creative activities, and homework support or gentle direction as needed. I provide in-home care and do not transport children by car, but I’m happy to walk children to and from nearby schools, parks, or activities when appropriate. I value working in partnership with parents, respecting family routines and parenting styles, and communicating openly about each child’s needs and progress. I’m attentive about safety and creating a secure environment, and families can count on me to be punctual and dependable. I’m also comfortable around pets — I’ve cared for fish, guinea pigs, and reptiles, and I adore dogs (cats are lovely too!). I’m happy to provide both consistent weekday care and dependable evening or date-night help so parents can feel confident and at ease. What families can count on from me: 💚Calm, attentive care for infants & toddlers 💚Engaging floor play, reading, & outdoor time 💚Homework help & supportive routines for school-age kids 💚Support with meals, snacks, & nap 💚A caregiver who partners with parents & respects family routines 💚Comfort in homes with pets 💚Reliable help for weekday care & evening/date nights

I’ve been involved with child care and educational extracurriculars since high school, from camp counseling to coaching robotics. I’m currently studying Interactive Media Arts at NYU, with additional coursework in Studio Art, Journalism, and Computer Science, blending my love for inquiry, storytelling, and media arts. Along the way, I’ve tutored math and am comfortable adding language arts, science, and history subjects to my repertoire. When I babysit, my goal is to ensure children have fun in immersing experience. This builds everyday learning--whether through imaginative play or tackling a skill they thought was out of reach. I love art projects and hands-on activities, and I’ve even got some colorful materials ready for crafting adventures! Plus, I’m always up for getting on the floor to explore toys and trinkets with as much enthusiasm as they do. I’m also a pet lover, comfortable with cats and a proud dog mom to a Chihuahua mix. Whether it’s an afternoon of creativity or helping with homework, I strive to create a positive, engaging experience for every child I work with.
