Find nannies in Maspeth, NY

Hi! My name is Lita! Greetings to your day! I am an experienced nanny and babysitter in all ages! I am loving and caring. I am experienced with children with autism! I am experienced with children with disabilities! It would be great to meet you! Thank you for stopping by!

I grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a bug jar in the other, and that's pretty much still true. As a recent Sarah Lawrence graduate steeped in art and culture, I'd love to share that curiosity with kids — turning a rainy afternoon into an art studio on the kitchen table, or a walk to the corner store into a scavenger hunt through history and nature. I believe kids learn best outside, hands dirty, following whatever's caught their attention — a beetle on the sidewalk, a cloud shaped like a dragon, the story behind a statue in the park. I've babysat for family and friends for years, bringing genuine curiosity rather than a checklist of activities. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so safety's never an afterthought, but I leave room for spontaneity — fort-building, bedtime, and everything between. I show up present and invested, because the best part of this work is watching a kid's face when they've made or discovered something new.

I am an educated mother of two teenagers. Francesco 18 and Monzerrat 15. Both going to College this year. One for Nuclear Engineering and the other for Mechanical Engineering. I love to take care of babies, understand infants, their needs and guide them through their emotions teaching them that there are different ways to learn. I enjoy playing with them, reading and the whole process of taking care of a child that needs guidance. My traits: Patience, hospitality, and a bilingual educator both in English and Spanish (Ecuadorian) in 4 different Elementary Schools after school programs in Bellingham, Washington. Salsa teacher for middle school students, after school program in Bellingham, WA. Talents: I love to paint, writing a book about transition from childhood to Teenage and adult life. Caregiver Experience: Took care of my 2 children while taking care of my mother in law during her cancer stage. Took care of Grandma for about 6 years during her Alzheimer’s stage. Took care of my friend’s daughter every Summer (for 2 months) while staying with her, my kids and her daughter in New York City for about 5 years.

I'm a dedicated and reliable professional known for my strong work ethic, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile to get the job done right. I take pride in showing up on time, staying organized, and always giving my best effort—whether I'm working independently or as part of a team. I'm not afraid to take on challenges and constantly look for ways to improve and grow.

I have worked with children and young people from ages 2-16. I have been a caretaker for numerous families since 2022. I also worked in the Family Programs department of the New-York Historical Society as a museum educator. At the museum, I specialized in early childhood education with ages 3-8. This past academic year I was a teaching assistant for the high school programs at the Clive Davis Institute at Tisch.
