Find nannies in Tenafly, NJ

Hi families! My name is Faith, and I’m a proud Puerto Rican who genuinely loves working with children. I currently work as a paraprofessional in the NYC Department of Education, where I support children with autism. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, communication, consistency, and understanding that every child is unique and may learn and express themselves differently. I’m a very nurturing, hands-on, and attentive caregiver. When I’m caring for your child, they will have my full attention, I love being present, listening to them, encouraging them, and making sure they feel comfortable, valued, and heard. I’m also big on building confidence and self-esteem while encouraging positive behavior, independence, and good habits in a way that feels supportive rather than strict. One of my favorite things about working with children is using my imagination! I’m naturally creative and love coming up with fun activities that keep kids engaged, whether that’s arts and crafts, dancing, reading, imaginative play, or creating our own little adventures. I love to read myself and would be excited to help children discover books and develop a love for reading too. I’m also a very resourceful person and love cooking. I can make a great meal even when I’m working with very little, and I enjoy getting children involved in age-appropriate activities when possible. I’m warm, humble, encouraging, and naturally nurturing I may even spoil your little ones with lots of love! At the same time, I understand that being a caregiver means setting appropriate boundaries and knowing when to be the responsible adult rather than simply being their friend. Most importantly, I want children in my care to feel safe, respected, encouraged, and genuinely happy. My goal is for families to feel confident knowing their children are in caring, attentive, and capable hands.

I am a fully qualified Norland Nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children and 4 years of experience working as a residential nanny in New York and London. I am currently studying my Masters in Early Childhood Special Education at Teachers College. Resume and letters of recommendation all available upon request.

My background in caregiving comes from years of serving in my church’s children’s ministry, where I regularly care for babies and young children during services and women’s group meetings. I also babysit for multiple families, which has given me experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. These opportunities have taught me how to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children while also being responsible and dependable for parents. My qualifications come from hands-on experience, consistency, and trust that families place in me. I’m patient, attentive, and always ready to engage children with play, learning, or simply offering comfort when they need it. I treat every child as an individual and take the time to understand their needs. The traits that make me a great caregiver are my patience, compassion, reliability, and genuine love for children. I bring energy, care, and stability that help kids feel safe and valued.

Warm, dependable, and patient bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with years of childcare experience dating back to my college years. I’ve had the privilege of working long-term with one family since their first child was born in my early 20s, eventually helping care for all 3 of their children as they grew. I hold a Master’s degree in Health Education and currently work in project management, which has strengthened my organization, communication, reliability, and ability to multitask in fast-paced environments. As a mother to a soon-to-be 7-year-old, childcare is truly second nature to me, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel their children are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I love creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Families describe me as trustworthy, attentive, patient, and genuinely loving with children of all ages.

Hi! I'm Maggie, 34, and kids have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in rural South Africa, where I ran youth programs, facilitated an overnight camp for 40 young women, and worked hands-on with kids and families in the community every single day. Since then I've built a career in international development, working with foundations and nonprofits around the world. These days I work as a consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes me really reliable for regular sits, last-minute evenings, or the occasional weekend. I'm patient, easygoing, and genuinely happiest when I'm playing, reading, or just goofing around with kids. I also speak French, so if you're looking for a little language immersion during playtime, I'd love to bring that in too. I take care of the kids I'm with like they're my own, and I'd love to meet your family!
