A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Lillian! I'm passionate about caregiving, whether it's through my work at a nursing home or spending time with children. I have an old soul, which might explain my love for cooking, cleaning, knitting, classic literature, and quiet moments with a good book. When I'm not wrapped up in a novel, you can find me running—it’s my way of clearing my mind and staying active. I find joy in simple things, from meaningful conversations to creating cozy, handmade pieces. I currently work at a nursing home and have a self owned cleaning business! I have been on two missions trips, both of which I were taking care of children the entire two weeks duration of the trips. I have more than 5,000 hours of child care experience and many references and a resume if needed.

A little bit about me
I'm a compassionate and dedicated nanny with a passion for nurturing and supporting children's growth and development. With over 5 years of experience in childcare, I have honed my skills in providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for little ones to thrive in. I believe in fostering creativity, curiosity, and kindness in every child I care for, and I am committed to meeting their individual needs with patience and understanding. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy travelling, swimming, reading and working out but my greatest joy comes from helping children learn, explore, and discover the world around them. Being a nanny is not just a job for me it is something that comes naturally as I am a mother of two children myself. I don't only enjoy it but it's part of who I am not only as a parent but as a mother. I do have experience with special needs children too.

A little bit about me
I'm an Oregon girl living on the east coast. With a decade of experience working with children of all ages! I have a full-time job with the ODHS Child Welfare, remotely until I find a full time nanny position. Evenings and weekends, I nanny for an amazing family in the village, but as the kiddos are getting older, they’ll soon no longer need extra help. I've witnessed their growth, smiles, and laughter, and it's truly rewarding. Being there for important milestones is something I cherish. I truly believe nannying is what I'm meant to do, I just need the right opportunity. Both my parents are elementary teachers, and I spent a lot of time in the classroom in my early 20s. While I considered going into teaching, I feel that I can contribute my talents and values more effectively with a family. If you have any questions or need references, please don't hesitate to reach out!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Sokhna Ndiaye, I am 23 years old. I actually have a passion for working with children. This for me is not just in social settings but professional ones as well! I like experiencing joy with others, especially children. Being a nanny allows me to combine my strengths such as being the oldest child of 8, and using my life experiences
What I enjoy about being a nanny is being around children and their continued excitement/enthusiasm for life. I believe that children are able to hold adults accountable in ways that are very subtle yet powerful. I love the children will interact with you with a sense of self assurance and tell you what they want when they want it. Which of course can be balanced through appropriate caretaking. I like being a nanny because it teaches me about myself and areas that I should work on, not just in professional settings but with self all while assisting parents in accomplishing their daily goals and tasks as it pertains to their children.

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?

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.
