A little bit about me
I am an elementary/special needs school teacher, lacrosse coach. and mother of 3 older children. College expenses have me working in the summers and I am looking to babysit for a family willing to hire me for the months of July and August. I love children and work with children in my everyday job as a 5th grade teacher but also as a lacrosse coach. I played college field hickey and lacrosse at the University of Richmond and I am still very active in the lacrosse community. Both of my older children play lacrosse in college. If I seem to be a good fit for you snd you are looking for summer caretaker, please let me know. 😊

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Garden City, NY
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Garden City, NY for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Short-Term Nanny?
A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.
Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in Garden City, NY
A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.
Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
- How quickly could you start?
- Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
- How would you get to know our routines quickly?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
