A little bit about me
I have worked with children with different special needs, cared for newborns, supported school-aged kids and for the past two years I’ve been living with a wonderful family as their au pair, caring for siblings now ages 7 to 11.
I’m currently studying Early Childhood, Infant & Toddler Mental Health, because I strongly believe in lifelong learning and staying updated to provide the best care possible.
As a person, I’m kind, caring, loving, patient, and very responsible. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, helping them feel safe, happy, and supported.
I would love for you to reach out to me so we can get to work together in the best way possible for your children.

A little bit about me
I truly love being around kids — their energy, creativity, and curiosity always brighten my day. In addition to my medical background, I’ve worked in a high school, an adolescent clinic, and an after-school program, where I helped with homework, supervised activities, and created a safe, supportive space for kids to thrive.
These experiences have given me a strong understanding of how to care for children both medically and emotionally. I'm calm, responsible, and nurturing, and I bring a blend of professional healthcare knowledge and genuine love for kids to every childcare role.
Whether it's keeping your little ones engaged, helping with schoolwork, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I’m here to support your family with warmth and care.

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.
