About Malaika

Hello! My name is Malaika, and I bring 15+ years of childcare experience to families in New York City and beyond. I've cared for infants through teens, both locally and internationally, and parents trust me as a reliable, proactive partner in keeping their households running smoothly. I handle school pickups, safe driving, healthy meals, homework help, and plan fun activities from museum trips and painting classes to imaginative play at home. CPR-certified and highly organized, I'm known for balancing creativity and warmth with steady guidance. Families describe me as dependable, thoughtful, and resourceful. Whether it's creating an enriching after-school routine, keeping kids engaged on rainy days, or ensuring bedtime goes smoothly, I step in to make life easier for parents and more joyful for kids. If you're looking for an experienced, caring, and energetic nanny, I'd love to connect!
