A little bit about me

Hi! My name is O'Meara, and I’m elated about the possibility of spending the summer helping your family. I recently graduated from University and am taking some time off as I’m planning to start law school next year.

As one of four sisters, I grew up in a lively, busy home, often acting as the built-in babysitter—which means I’m no stranger to keeping kids entertained, engaged, and safe! Whether it’s arts and crafts, playing outside, or coming up with fun activities, I love creating a warm and playful environment for kids to learn and grow. I have been working with kids and babysitting since I was a teenager so understand no two kids are the same.

Outside of childcare, my hobbies include tennis, basketball, cooking, and music—so I’m always happy to incorporate active play, creative projects, or fun outings into the day.

A little bit about me

I’m a highly organized and caring professional with a strong background in leadership, hospitality, and creating structured, nurturing environments. While my career has been centered around managing teams and operations, I’ve always had a natural ability to connect with people—especially children—through patience, communication, and attentiveness. I thrive in roles that require multitasking, problem-solving, and adaptability, all of which translate seamlessly into childcare. Beyond my professional experience, I genuinely enjoy fostering a positive and engaging space where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or preparing nutritious meals, I bring a thoughtful and responsible approach to every aspect of caregiving.

A little bit about me

I love working with children and families. I find you learn a lot about yourself and others through childcare. I also love to learn about different cultures and languages, so I love getting to know and grow with families no matter the background or age level. I am experienced with ages of 8 months to 13 years old, but more recently I have been working with families with toddlers.

The childcare I provide is very hands on, playing tag, sports, cooking meals, being on the floor during playtime, and working with fun and creative activities.

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.
