A little bit about me
Hi, I'm McKenzie! I am a rising senior in college studying computer science and statistics. I am looking to join a family this summer to help with child care and housekeeping! I have 4+ years of experience in home and childcare. I have worked as a housekeeper, swim instructor & lifeguard, YMCA after school care counselor, events babysitter, tutor. I hold a RedCross certificate for lifeguarding, first aid, and CPR, and I have held it for 5 years now. I love being a sitter because every day is a new adventure! Kids have such a bright imagination, and it is so valuable to me to get to see the world through their eyes. I love teaching swim lessons, as it allows me to make a positive impact and help kids grow! I am an active individual who loves to learn and explore, and I would love to work with a family that aligns with my personality! I am looking for summer work, and can begin in June through September 1st.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Sonia, and I’m a certified Special Education teacher licensed in California and Connecticut, with New York certification currently in progress. Over the past four years, I’ve taught both high school and middle school students, primarily supporting children with significant emotional and behavioral needs as well as students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Outside of the classroom, I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old and genuinely enjoy working with children of all ages. I have a valid driver’s license, extensive experience driving in and around New York City, and I’m happy to travel when needed. Thanks to my background in special education, I’m especially well equipped to support children who may benefit from a little extra patience, structure, or individualized care. If your child has unique needs, I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide the compassionate, reliable support you’re looking for.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Becky, I'm from Sheboygan, WI, but am looking for a live-in nanny position in a new place for the summer. I have 5 siblings, and my mother owned an in-home day care while I was living at home, so I have a lot of experience with children just from that. I have spent many summers working through local recreation departments and summer camps where I taught swimming lessons, and short two week classes to children. I am also just starting a job at a day care where I am working with newborns up to four year olds at a nature academy day care. I am doing this while finishing my degree in Elementary Education and Spanish Teaching. I spent a semester studying abroad in Chile, so I am very familiar with the Spanish language, and love living in new places. I am good at cooperating, and I love children. Hopefully we'll be a good match!

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in New York, NY
Nanny Lane helps you find a summer nanny in New York, NY to take care of your children while school is out.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in New York, NY
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
