A little bit about me
While 2-5 year olds have traditionally been my area of specialty, I find I am able to deeply connect with children of all ages.
My approach to childcare is centered around patience and playfulness. I believe in creating a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive and develop their unique skills, while also practicing boundaries in a safe space. Teaching children how to accomplish tasks on their own is something I deeply enjoy, as it fosters their independence and confidence, and stimulates organic growth.
Being an artist myself, I love engaging children in various arts and crafts activities, fostering their creativity through self-expression. Witnessing their imagination come to life through artistic endeavors is truly a joy.

A little bit about me
My name is Giorgia, I’m 23 and from Italy. I’m an experienced and caring nanny with a strong passion for working with children. I’ve been looking after kids of different ages for several years, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
I’m reliable, patient, and full of energy. I love engaging children in creative play, outdoor activities, and educational games. I can also help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and homework if needed.
I’m currently based in Chicago but moving to New York in October and available full-time. I’d be happy to meet your family and see how I can support your needs!

What are the responsibilities of a nanny?
Nanny responsibilities range from childcare tasks to assisting with household duties. The exact job description depends on the specific needs of the family. For a special needs nanny, duties might also include providing tailored care and implementing therapeutic activities. Activities can be tailored to the child's interests and abilities. For instance, exploring sensory-friendly exhibits at the Children's Museum of the Arts for a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Check out our guide for a deeper dive into nanny responsibilities.
How should I conduct a nanny interview?
When you find a nanny in New York, the interview process is crucial. Prepare in advance by creating a list of nanny interview questions tailored to your family's needs. These may touch on their experience with special needs children, their training, and their ability to handle potential emergency situations. Remember, it's essential to have a conversation, not just a Q&A session. Here's how to prepare for a nanny interview.
What is a nanny contract and why do I need one?
A nanny contract is an agreement between you and your nanny that outlines key details such as hours, salary, and job duties. It helps set clear expectations and can help prevent misunderstandings down the road. It's also a great place to lay out specifics about caring for children with special needs. For a closer look at the details, see our guide on nanny contracts.
What should I know about nanny payroll and taxes?
Nannies are considered household employees, which means you're responsible for withholding taxes from their paycheck and paying employer taxes. This process can be complex, but a nanny payroll service can help simplify it.
How do I ensure a safe and secure hire with background checks?
Background checks are a vital step in the hiring process. They can provide peace of mind about your potential nanny's criminal history, driving records, and other vital information. It's always wise to inform candidates in advance that you will be conducting a background check. You can learn more about our approach to background checks here.
How do I decide between a part-time, full-time, or summer nanny?
Your decision will depend on your family's needs and schedule. A full-time nanny often works 40 hours a week, while a part-time nanny might work less than that. A summer nanny is typically hired for a set period during the summer break. You might find that one type of arrangement better fits your family's requirements. To help you navigate these choices, we've prepared a guide detailing the costs associated with each type of nanny in New York.
