The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when I witnessed a child I was caring for achieve a significant developmental milestone. The child had been working on their gross motor skills for several weeks, and I had been providing support and encouragement during their practice sessions. One day, while playing at the park, the child took their first independent steps! I was overjoyed to see their excitement and sense of accomplishment as they took those wobbly steps towards me with a big smile on their face. It was a precious and heartwarming moment that filled me with a sense of pride and fulfillment in being able to play a role in their growth and development. It reminded me of the importance of my role as a caregiver in supporting and celebrating the achievements of the children I care for, and it reaffirmed my passion for working with children and helping them reach their milestones.

Raquel D. - Seeking Work in Valley Cottage

Part-Time Nanny Available in Valley Cottage, NY: Raquel D.

Hi! I'm Raquel, 32, and I've been a caregiver for 13+ years. I started nannying at 18 to help pay for college, and while I've explored other paths, nothing has been as fulfilling as caring for kids and supporting families.

I have a psychology degree from Hunter College, long-term experience with three NYC families (6+ years each) and another for 1. 5 years, and have cared for children from 5 months to 13 years old. I'm very hands-on and happy to help with laundry, light housekeeping, cooking, organizing, errands or pet care. I don't like to sit still, so I'm always looking for ways to be useful.

Also, I will be getting my Newborn Care Certification in a few weeks and my CPR certification was renewed in June of 2025. On a personal note, 7 months ago, I moved out of Queens into Rockland with my fiancé, and I'm loving suburban life!

I'm happy to do a background check and answer any questions.

Lara S. - Seeking Work in Valley Cottage

Full-Time Nanny Available in Valley Cottage, NY: Lara S.

Hi, I'm an experienced career nanny and household manager with 20 years of childcare experience, seeking a full-time live-out position (30 hours minimum per week guaranteed). I'm fun, active, responsible, and nurturing, and I believe being a nanny is about much more than childcare; it's about becoming part of the family. I'm the kind of nanny kids can laugh with, talk to, and trust, while parents can count on me to keep routines running smoothly and make sure responsibilities are handled.

My experience includes school and activity transportation, playdates, homework help, snack and dinner prep, housekeeping, grocery shopping, dog walking, and household management. I'm CPR-certified and a former lifeguard, substitute teacher, and guitar instructor. My hobbies include playing guitar in an all-female rock band, sailing, pickleball, hiking, shopping.
