A little bit about me
I’m CPR/First Aid certified, dependable, organized yet laid-back, and I work hard to build strong relationships with both kids and parents. I believe the best fit is when a nanny and family truly work as a team.
Outside of work, I enjoy coffee shops, parks, and exploring museums and history. I also look forward to enjoying NYC’s restaurants and nightlife responsibly on my off-time. I’d be happy to connect by phone or Zoom to learn more about your family!

A little bit about me
While new to professional nannying, I have a strong instinct for care, high emotional intelligence, and deep respect for a caregiver’s role in a child’s life. I’m nurturing, reliable, and proactive, and I value children’s emotional and physical well-being equally.
I’ve helped care for younger relatives and volunteered with children in educational settings. I bring structure, creativity, and compassion to every caregiving role, and I’m committed to creating a safe, joyful space for your children to thrive.
I’m happy to assist with household tasks, errands, meal prep, and routines. I aim to provide stability and become a trusted extension of your family.
I’m open to positions in NYC and nearby areas and am available to start in November. I do not smoke or drink, I’m pet-friendly, and of all my documents are ready.
Warmly,
Amrita

A little bit about me
I am 24 years old and I'm finishing university. I am getting my degree in engineering, as I have always loved science and math. But I also prefer to read, learn about history or philosophy and make art. I love traveling and want to experience more places, of course.
I have a niece, whom I take care of, and is off to school now. Getting to spend time with her never felt like work, and opened my eyes to the possibilities of becoming an au pair.
I am very clean and organized. And I am patient and understanding of anyone, especially children. If it was any job, I would still have the highest standards for myself, but I hope can convey that I want to do the best job for you too. I love to be efficient, and make everyone's life easier and more enjoyable. I have many technical skills, and also personable skills. I cook, play sport, clean, entertain, and can teach/tutor.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to discussing opportunities with you !

A little bit about me
I have a deep passion for working with children, especially in the area of early childhood development. I have experience with all age groups—from infants to high schoolers—through both professional settings and volunteer work at my church.
Currently, I’m working at a daycare as a Behavioral Therapist, supporting children with autism. I’ve also had the opportunity to work at a mentoring school for pre-teen and teen girls, which was incredibly rewarding.
I am CPR certified and trained in TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention), which helps me approach childcare with both structure and compassion.
I would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about potential nanny placements. I look forward to hearing from you!
Warmly,
Hannah

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.
