Find nannies in Rockaway Park, NY

My name is Mara. I am a mother of four boys, ages 33, 27, 25, and 16, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I truly enjoy being around children and helping them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I have many years of experience caring for children. From 2006 to 2016, I cared for a little girl in Freeport, Maine, from the time she was a baby until she turned 10. During the COVID-19 period, I helped a family in New York with their two children. Most recently, I worked with a family in Long Island City from 2022 until July 2026, when they relocated. I am a caring, patient, dependable, and trustworthy person. I treat the children I care for with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own children. I enjoy becoming part of a family and being someone parents can feel comfortable and confident relying on.

Hello! I am Stella, a Brooklyn-based (am happy to commute around the city) caregiver and recent college graduate with over 8 years of experience, primarily working with children ages 2-12. I’m an extremely patient and compassionate babysitter, who values communication with both kids and parents. I have experience with children experiencing neurodivergence and de-escalating big emotions with care, understanding, and speaking to children as equals. I prioritize safety/health, trust-building, and emotional well-being; minimizing screen-time and favoring outdoor activities, indulging in our imagination, art-making, learning, and hands-on activities. I’m an artist who loves dance, crafting, reading & writing, nature walks, and grounding exercises to calm down after a long day. I walk or take public transportation, am learning Italian and Spanish, and am extremely happy to cook healthy meals, clean, run errands, commute to various activities, and care for dogs and cats. I bring warmth, curiosity, joy, and love to every home I work with. I would love to chat and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Hi, my name is Sam! I love working with children of all ages but have the most experience with kids 3-12. I’m originally from the Pacific Northwest but moved to New York to explore job options in childcare, fashion, public relations, and the arts. I learned more about how much care, time, and attention children require after caring for a 2 and 5 year old for three years. In high school, I was a camp counselor for my school’s outdoor program and a swim instructor for children aged 3-8. I also consistently volunteered at kids basketball games, book fairs, field trips, and art classes. Post high school, I studied marketing for two years at Walla Walla Community College. I then completed the AmeriCorps NCCC program, where I traveled with a team to Texas and Colorado to assist communities in need with long term disaster recovery, mold remediation, environmental conservation, and more. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning: just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to paint, sing, dance, read, write, craft, spend time in nature, and explore new places- all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Through AmeriCorps, I was given the chance to volunteer weekly at a boys and girls clubs and that was my favorite volunteer opportunity by far. I helped the kids move through their activities, identify various emotions, set boundaries with peers by saying “stop!” or “i do not like that!”, and focusing on creating a safe space for them to feel heard, understood, and regulated. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, beta fish, bunnies, and geckos (my family had a lot of pets!). Additionally, having worked several customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of spaces throughout the years, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.
