A little bit about me

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.

Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your little ones :-)

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.
