Booked by 40 families in Rego Park, NY

Hi families, My name is Sophia, I am a 25-year-old experienced nanny with a bachelor's degree in International Business. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. During my time in college, I discovered I am a people person and love to be around kids. This made me volunteer as a teacher and start my journey working as a nanny even though I have accumulated some experience since I was even younger. I have always cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I am CPR certified with years of experience as a nanny. You can trust that your kids are going to be in good hands. I am very responsible, I always show up on time, and I have special care for kids. I hope I can be considered, and we can have a conversation. I would love to hear from you soon. Best regards, Sophia

“Sophia was great with our 3 year old daughter and very punctual and responsive! ”

I have experience with all ages, from infants to teens, and I have frequently worked with multiple children. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

I'm Marina, and I'm based in Brooklyn. I currently work part-time as the Development and Partnerships Director for a nonprofit providing education and mental health support to women and girls in Afghanistan, and I have about 20-25 hours a week available for a family in need of extra help. I have 19+ years of experience working with children, from newborns through high school, across nannying, daycare, summer camp, tutoring, and classroom teaching. I've cared for children in one-on-one and group settings, for families in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and internationally, including families with high-profile backgrounds. Depending on what your family needs, my time could look like after-school pickup and care, homework support, household logistics, scheduling, organizing, errand running, cooking dinner, pet care, or simply being a consistent and trustworthy presence in your children's lives. For tutoring, I specialize in English, writing, and critical thought for all ages, and cover math, science, and social studies through elementary school. I've taught students from preschool through 12th grade and tutored refugee youth in Brooklyn, often without shared language. My teaching style is rooted in observation and adaptability. I learn how each child thinks, what makes them feel safe, and where they need room to grow. My professional background is in educational and curriculum development. I performed on Broadway through my teens, then shifted into nonprofit work and volunteer teaching. I lived and taught at a school in India for close to two years, worked at a summer camp for refugee youth, and have held roles spanning operations, client experience, and learning and development. All of it has made me someone who pays close attention and builds trust with the people I work with. I emphasize technology-free, creative, and confidence-building play. I think carefully about who each child is and what they specifically need, and I bring that same intentionality to everything from an afternoon activity to a homework session. Of course, I still love a fun movie night! :) I've held certifications in Infant and Pediatric First Aid and CPR and am happy to be re-certified. I have a perfect driving record, I'm conversational in Spanish, and I'm an animal lover through and through. References available upon request. I work best with families that lead with compassion, open-mindedness, and joy. If that sounds like your household, I'd love to connect!
