Hello!My name is Aasha and I live on the Upper West Side. I am a graduate student at Columbia University studying creative writing (nonfiction) and literary translation (specializing in Twi, French, Spanish) in search of a full time or part time position starting as soon as possible. I only have one class on Mondays and Tuesdays afternoons. I can work mornings, afternoons Wednesday-Friday, and evenings.I was previouslya full time baby nurse and nanny to the toddler 12 hours a day. I also cook (and enjoy doing it!) and clean. I have an Honors BFA in Literature and I can commit long term or on temporary basis. I have a child led learning- Montessori approach and I encourage pretend play. I'm a lover of languages, music, the arts, and creativity! I'm a warm and gentle person but definitely firm when need be, when it comes to discipline I like to maintain what the parents have already started. I personally follow gentle and respectful parenting techniques of discipline and communication. I also cook and clean for the entire family. I can speak some Mandarin, German and I'm still learning French(A2 level)!I was also an au pair in Bordeaux). I believe I'm the perfect fit because I'm proactive, well trained and very gentle. I have the professionalism to keep up with a busy household (and keep everything clean!) and the tenderness to help raise gentle, kind and curious children. I have eleven years of experience as a nanny with children ages 0-14 years. I'm an amazing cook and can get picky eaters to eat just about anything! I can also teach your children the instruments I'm classically trained in (viola, violin, cello) . I hope to meet you soon.

I have several years of experience working with children through paid and volunteer roles. I worked as a Camp Counselor in the Summer Youth Employment Program, where I supervised children during daily activities, ensured their safety, and led arts and crafts, games, and sports. I also worked as a Youth Program Assistant at Trailblazer, supporting children in different age groups, helping with daily activities, safely assisting with dismissal, and creating a fun, positive environment. In addition, I have experience as an intern at the Boys & Girls Club, helping organize programs and supporting youth activities. These experiences have strengthened my patience, communication, leadership, and ability to provide safe, engaging care for children.

I bring over 10 years of professional child care experience.Throughout my career, I have supported families in various capacities. I worked as a nanny (both live-in and out), house manager, and tutor for multiple families, providing care for children ranging from babies to pre-teens. My responsibilities included school pickups/drop-offs, homeschool learning, overnights, meal preparation, academic support, organizing playdates, mentorship, and general family assistance.Past families describe me as warm, intuitive, calm, and compassionate. I pride myself on creating engaging activities that encourage learning and developmental growth while fostering a positive and nurturing environment. I’m currently self-employed and run my own small businesses from home, which gives me the flexibility to continue to take on additional work with families. I’m open to both short-term and long-term opportunities, and I’m happy to support families on an ongoing basis or step in for temporary help as needed. I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating meaningful, supportive relationships with the families I assist. Whether it's helping with after-school routines, weekend care, or providing enriching activities during school breaks, I bring creativity, reliability, and a calm, attentive presence to every role.

My name is Tonique, I live in New York and I’m a college student with over 5 years of childcare experience working with children ranging from infants to grade-school age. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children in many different stages, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, playtime, and bedtime routines to school pickups, homework help, and keeping older kids entertained. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the children I care for and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and able to have fun. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and dependable, and I’m always happy to help with homework, reading, school projects, or keeping kids on track with their after-school routines. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and communicate openly with, so I make reliability and communication a priority. I’m also big on keeping kids engaged beyond screens! Depending on their age and interests, I love planning arts and crafts, reading together, going to the park, exploring outdoors, playing games, or coming up with creative activities to make our time together enjoyable. My personality is warm, patient, energetic, and caring, while still being able to provide structure and maintain the routines and boundaries parents have established in their home. Whether a family needs regular childcare, after-school help, date-night coverage, or an occasional sitter, I’d love the opportunity to get to know families and see if we’re a great fit!
