A little bit about me
Hello! I am moving to New York for an unpaid internship at the UN from February through July. Due to the internship being unpaid, I am looking to find a family that needs a live-in nanny who can help take care of kids, cook meals, help with schoolwork and housework, and any other odd jobs outside of my internship hours (mornings and evenings on weekdays, and then weekends free). I have worked in emergency medicine and therefore have CPR/AED/WFR experience, as well as having worked as an academic tutor for many years. I speak English, Spanish, and German, and absolutely love to cook! Additionally, I am artistic, so really whatever your kids need, I will be happy to help in whatever way I can (cooking meals, picking up from after-school activities, helping with homework and studying, etc.). If I sound like a good fit, please reach out! Looking forward to hearing from you and finding a wonderful home x

Hi! My name is Anna Trieloff and I would love to be your summer 2024 nanny before I head back to grad school. I have nannied for as long as I can remember and have absolutely loved every second of it. It is ultimately what led me to get a degree in Psychology and Human Development and Family Studies and want to go back to school for my social work masters. This past summer I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an ABA therapy center for children with autism and it allowed me to grow so much as a caregiver. I would love to help out a family with their children, but also can help with groceries, cleaning, cooking, and any other housework.

Hello!
I am an NYC college student looking to work through the summer as a full-time nanny (June-August, 5 days a week)! I have approximately 3 years of professional childcare experience through babysitting (for 20+ families at a time) and as a summer camp counselor. Through these positions, I’ve had the privilege of learning with numerous neurodivergent children (autism/adhd, etc), I’ve learned lessons in conflict management and resolution, and I’ve helped children build long term healthy coping mechanisms. Before my professional career, I grew up with a mother in early childhood development who brought me along to meet her families and learn the tricks of the trade. Additionally, I love to have fun! On a sunny day, we’ll be doing scavenger hunts around the city and, on a rainy day, we’ll be baking up a storm for a tea party or a ‘fancy’ lunch. :) The possibilities are truly endless!

A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Liz Napier, and I’m a rising senior at Washington and Lee University double majoring in History and Romance Languages. Originally from Nashville, I have years of childcare experience and have been babysitting children ages newborn–12 since I was 16. Beyond childcare, I’ve worked as a personal assistant and as a housekeeper on a ranch in Wyoming, so I’m comfortable helping with meal prep, organization, errands, tidying, and keeping a busy household running smoothly. I love creating a fun, dependable, and engaging environment for kids while making parents’ lives easier however I can. I’ll be in NYC from June 3–August 12 and am looking for babysitting or nanny opportunities for the summer — I’d love to connect with families looking for dependable, hands-on support!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Isabella and I am a 22-year-old graduate from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in Art History. I’m excited to spend a year abroad, and a live-in nanny role feels like the perfect way to combine my love of working with children with the chance to experience family life overseas.
I grew up in England and studied at Marlborough College, a full boarding school, which made me independent and adaptable from an early age. At university, I balanced my studies with an active lifestyle, regularly going to the gym and playing netball.
I’ve cared for younger cousins, supported family friends, and volunteered in a local school for two years, helping children with reading. I also have experience supporting a child with autism and ADHD, which taught me patience, calmness, and flexibility.
Creative, caring, and responsible, I enjoy swimming, reading, photography, and cooking. With a full, clean driving licence, I’m confident with school runs, activities, and errands.

A little bit about me
My background is in teaching and child development with a specialty in art and Math. I have been working with families and children for the past 20 years as a mothers helper, emotional support, teacher, and everything in between. What I have learned is to appreciate every moment and give love to every human. To connect with a child is such a gift in this world and I am lucky to have the opportunities to work with and support such beautiful humans. I am always ready to learn the needs of children to create a strong bond and learning environment so they can feel safe, successful and perform to the best of their ability.
I am currently looking for a short term or temporary position with a family. I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in New York, NY
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in New York, 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 New York, 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.
