Find nannies in Forest Hills, NY

Hi, I’m Valentina. I’m a 22-year-old college student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I study Advertising and Marketing Communications. I currently live in NYC and am looking for babysitting opportunities with families in the area. I have experience working with children as a babysitter and former camp counselor, caring for kids ages 3–10. I also taught Spanish to elementary school students (grades 1–5) as part of my high school Spanish Language and Global Citizen program, where I created and led engaging, interactive lesson plans in a classroom setting. I really enjoy working with children and bringing a balance of structure, creativity, and fun into their day. I’m comfortable helping with homework, light cooking, errands, and general household support. Outside of childcare, I’m a very active and creative person. I’m a former soccer player and love outdoor activities, sports, and staying active with kids. I also enjoy creative activities like art, painting, film, theatre, and storytelling. I’m open to working with children of different personalities and energy levels, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.

Hello, My name is Ms.K , and I’m a dedicated, caring, and reliable nanny with 7 years of experience supporting families and nurturing children from infancy through school age. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can grow, learn, and explore their interests. I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. My approach balances warmth and playfulness with clear communication and consistency. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or maintaining routines, I always strive to make each day positive and enriching. I’m certified in CPR/First Aid and have experience with infants/toddlers/school-age K-12. I align my developmental milestones for the children with the CDC. I am experienced in feeding, change, tidying, burping , helping with the sleep schedule, reading to them, speaking to them about colors and shapes, helping them to crawl by giving them toys to reach towards to stimulate their development. I have also spent several years in the classroom setting as an assistant program manager for after school scholars. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and proactive — someone who truly becomes part of the family. I look forward to bringing my skills, energy, and genuine love for children to a welcoming household. I look forward to connecting with you!

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.
