A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Kristina! Originally from Wisconsin, I've been living in NYC for almost two years. I have a BFA in Musical Theatre and regularly perform around the city. Nannying is my favorite "day job" because it is a fun and fulfilling way to support myself. Some of my favorite things to do with the kids are going to the park, doing arts and crafts, and learning how to cook (I also enjoy doing those things in my spare time!). I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your family.

A little bit about me

My name is Shanel Campbell, I am a recent MFA Fashion Design and Society graduate at Parson's The New School of Design. I am currently a part-time fashion design professor at the university.

I have been surrounded by children since I was young, often helping the adults in my family take care of the many infants and toddlers around me. Currently I have five younger siblings, ages 18, 11, 8, 3, and 7 months that I help care for when my parents are at work or busy. For the older children I stay on top of their homework and when there's free time we draw or read as to limit screen time.

For my youngest sibling I only make cooked and mixed fresh foods to limit the amount of store bought baby food he consumes.

I also mentored my oldest sibling into getting into the Summer High School programs at Columbia University and The Fashion Institute of Technology .

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Lily. I grew up in Arkansas and moved to NYC in 2022. I started my childcare journey when I was 14, when I was babysitting and working as a summer camp counselor. As I got older, I began working at a Montessori Preschool, as well as nannying part-time. After moving to New York I continued to babysit and got into full-time nannying, which I’ve been doing for the past few years.

Nearby cities to find a special needs nanny

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.
