A little bit about me
levels to their abilities, and I’ve truly learned that the most important thing is working with them and meeting them where they are at in that moment. Each child have different capabilities and when I meet him/her/them I talk to them and really want to see where he/she/they are at in terms
of learning and what he/she/they understand. I also do my best to ensure that I am respectful and understanding of all the children I work with because many of them are going through different things and identify in many different ways and it is always my intention to foster a safe environment with the children I work with.

A little bit about me
My name is Paola, and I’m originally from Italy with Venezuelan roots. I speak three languages, which allows me to connect with children from diverse backgrounds.
I’ve been working with children since I was 16 years old and have had the privilege of being an au pair for four wonderful years in the United States. Over the years, I’ve built strong, meaningful bonds with the children I’ve cared for, and I’m proud to say that I consider them my siblings.
I am an active, enthusiastic, and positive person who loves bringing creativity, play, and fun into children’s lives. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor activities, or simply making sure your kids feel safe and comfortable, I’m always ready to engage and create memorable experiences.
Patience is one of my greatest strengths, and I believe in fostering a nurturing and supportive environment where children can thrive.
I look forward to meeting your family and sharing many joyful moments together!
Warmly,
Paola

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.
