Find nannies in Kew Gardens, 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.

Hi! My name is Sophia :) I am originally from Orange County, CA and graduated in 2022 from UCLA. I recently moved to NYC and work in finance. I work 11-7 (since my team is on the west coast) so am available for childcare any day in the mornings or evenings! I have a huge family with lots of baby cousins and have been babysitting and tutoring since I was in high school. I am extremely organized and clean and will love any activities your child wants to participate in.

A Bit About Me – My Journey in Childcare Back in 2017, I found myself stepping into the world of childcare, mostly curious (and a little excited) about the fun, messy, and unpredictable world of daycare. What started as just a job quickly turned into something more—I realized how much I genuinely enjoy being around kids and helping them grow. That spark led me to enroll at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn to study childhood education more seriously. For about 3.5 years, I wore a lot of different hats in daycares—everything from assistant teacher to lead teacher—working with little ones as young as 6 months all the way up to 5 years old. After that, I shifted gears a bit and spent a year in afterschool programs with the older kids (ages 5 to 13) as a group leader. I’ve also been a helping hand for a few families on the side, stepping in whenever they’ve needed extra support. What I love most are the everyday moments with the kids—the silly laughs, the unexpected questions, the small wins that mean everything. No two days are ever the same, and that’s what keeps it exciting. For me, it’s all about being part of a child’s journey, watching them grow, and knowing I played even a small part in it.

I'm a dedicated and caring nanny with over six years of experience supporting children's growth, safety, and happiness. I enjoy creating a nurturing and structured environment where kids can learn and have fun through educational games, creative activities, and outdoor play. I value clear communication with parents and pride myself on being respectful, trustworthy, and mindful of each family's privacy while maintaining consistent routines and household rules. I'm also happy to help with meal preparation and daily organization. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I always prioritize a safe, positive, and engaging environment for every child in my care

With nine years of professional childcare experience and my Newborn Care Specialist certification, I bring both hands-on experience and specialized newborn training to the families I support. Caring for children has been my passion since I began working part-time in a daycare during high school, and that passion has grown into a fulfilling career as a dedicated nanny and infant care professional. I have experience working with children from newborn through school-age in daycare, YMCA, and private in-home settings. However, supporting families during the newborn and infant stage is especially meaningful to me. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, I am trained in newborn development, sleep conditioning, feeding support (breast and bottle), establishing healthy routines, soothing techniques, and maintaining a safe sleep environment. I understand how important those early weeks and months are, and I strive to provide calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing support to both baby and parents. In my nanny roles, I take on all childcare-related responsibilities including bottle prep, diapering, sleep scheduling, developmental play, tummy time, milestone tracking, baby laundry, sanitizing, and maintaining a structured yet loving environment. As children grow, I incorporate educational activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, and transportation to scheduled activities. My goal is always to encourage imagination and development while helping children confidently reach their milestones. Beyond experience and credentials, I value forming strong, respectful bonds with families. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and flexible available for travel, overnights, late stays, and date nights. I have my own vehicle, can provide a car seat if needed, and I am fully vaccinated and American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I understand that choosing someone to care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. I am committed to listening carefully to your concerns, respecting your parenting style, and ensuring your child feels safe, supported, and loved every day in my care. I would be honored to support your family during this special season of growth and development.
