Find nannies in Ridgewood, NY

Hi there! My name is Chantal, and I’m a recent graduate of NYU Wagner currently working part-time at a nonprofit organization. Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m available for part-time, occasional, evening, and weekend babysitting. Working with children has always been one of the most joyful and meaningful parts of my life. I love building trusting relationships with children, encouraging their curiosity, and creating spaces where they feel safe, supported, and free to explore the world around them. My experience includes: • Nannying children from 3 months to 12 years old, with most of my experience being with children ages 2–6. I have worked long-term nanny positions as well as one-time babysitting, school pickups, evening care, and overnight care. • Working as an English-Spanish bilingual tutor in an elementary school, supporting children ages 6–8. • Serving as a sleepaway camp counselor for 5–6-year-old girls, where I completed training in CPR, First Aid, and water safety. I enjoy creating engaging experiences tailored to each child’s interests—whether that’s trips to the park, museums, libraries, or neighborhood adventures, as well as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, and sensory activities at home. I highly value outdoor time and believe childhood should be full of joy, creativity, wonder, and opportunities to learn through play. ✨ I’m also happy to provide: • Homework help and tutoring • Snack and meal preparation (omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan) • Pet care and assistance around the home • Support with public transit and practicing age-appropriate safety skills I am fluent in English and Spanish, conversational to near-fluent in Italian, and conversational in American Sign Language (ASL). I’m comfortable working in homes with pets of any kind and would love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meeting! I look forward to meeting you and your little ones. 🫶🏼😊

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
