Hi, I’m Lyric! I‘ve worked at a childcare facility and have nannied for years! I’ve gotten a minor in adolescence psychology and child development, so I really enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating an environment where they feel happy and understood! At the childcare center, I worked with children in an active, social environment where I had to be patient, playful, and responsible at the same time! My neuroscience background also helps me understand attention, emotional regulation, learning styles, and how much children benefit from consistency, patience, and confidence-building. Families can expect me to be dependable, kind, communicative, and fully present. I really care about making children feel safe and excited to be themselves! I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, routines, snacks/meals, homework support, and pet care when needed.

Hi! My name is Vanessa ! I have been in the nanny/ babysitting field for over 9 years now! I am most familiar with the UES but I have also done occasional jobs all over New York! Right now I am looking for one time positions or part time positions. I love to have fun taking kids to the park or just hanging out at home!

Hi there! It’s great to meet you, I’m Valentina, a former NYC nanny and long-time NYer who is coming out of nanny retirement while I figure out next steps in my career. I recently moved to North Jersey and am looking to meet new families in the area! I am a very caring and proactive nanny in terms of safety and avoiding tantrums, I love kids, and am so happy to have a niece and nephew now! I have an excellent track record and recent /additional references available upon request. I speak Spanish and love to do crafts and games with kids, and have extensive experience with multiple kids at once, infants and kids of all ages. I am happy to take kids on any adventures, to museums or to the pool or ferry. I also have experience teaching kids and people of all ages how to swim, if that is of interest as well! I taught swim lessons at the Peddie School in NJ for many years, and was a former lifeguard. I am looking forward to connecting and meeting your family! -Valentina

Hello! My name is Shannon and I live in Vienna, VA. I've taught grades 1- 12 and I've also taught children piano and swimming lessons. I have a little sister with Down Syndrome so I have lots experience with kids with special needs as well. I would love to watch your child!

How’s it going , When it comes to raising four boys at home, The safety awareness skills you learn while mothering your own children will stay with you throughout your life. Racing my four boys taught me the stages of childhood development and what to expect at different ages. These skills are useful when working with kids at any time in the future and especially if you are planning on working with children to make living! How to entertain children With enough motherhood skills plus caring for other children, you can have child-entertaining down to a fine art. You can quickly become a master of playing, reading, singing, drawing, improvising, and having fun. Children get sick a lot (particularly when attending childcare centers), so caring for them when they are not well is something you will pick up right away. There are many tactics to know that can make a child feel more comfortable, loved, and to help them recover quicker. You can also learn how to prevent the spread of germs and stop other people from getting sick, including yourself! Helping children to understand their emotions, manage their feelings, and learn the difference between right and wrong behavior is challenging, but it is also a rewarding experience. There are many subtleties to learn and every family may have a slightly different set of disciplinary values they wish to uphold. Sometimes children are prone to tantrums. You can learn to pre-empt trigger situations, and how to plan around them. You can learn the art of distraction (very powerful) and if a tantrum does occur, you can learn how to stay calm in stressful situations while remaining firm with your principles. Child encouragement and motivation strategies! Explaining why things need to be done! Building trust, and; Leading by example. These learned strategies can be invaluable in your day-to-day when dealing with children. I hope this answers some of your questions and please to hesitate to contact me if you are willing to meet. I have excellent references available upon request. My references can attest to my dedication, reliability, and the positive impact I have had on the children I have cared for. Have a bless day.... I
