A little bit about me…

Hello!

I'm Amira, I'm a 23-year-old NYC native.

I have many years of experience in childcare, with both hands on experiences as an Au pair, hands on experiences with my family and friends' children, and academic research on childhood development. I frequently do volunteer work for causes benefiting children, namely CASA/GAL (Court appointed special advocate/guardian ad litem) and Girls on the Run (a philanthropic organization which teaches young girls life skills and builds their confidence as they train for a marathon).

I am CPR and First Aid certified, trained in trauma informed caring, and I also have years of lifeguard experience. I’m available for overnights, and I’m pet-friendly!

I'm passionate about making sure every child grows up in healthy, safe environments where they can grow to be the best versions of themselves. I'd love to get to know you more and see if I'm a good fit for your family!

"Amira is absolutely one of a kind - there is nothing this girl can’t do/fix. She has instilled in my two girls the most wonderful mix of courage, kindness, and discipline that I don’t believe I would’ve had the ability to do without her! She has such a natural way with children that enables them to grow, learn, and find joy in the normal everyday. Amira is unrelentingly calm, kind, and brings boundless energy and enthusiasm to our household. In addition to her excellent childcare, she’s an amazing cook. She made the most delicious recipes entirely from scratch! When I come home from work it’s always such a smooth transition and a spotless house. My girls always have their homework done. Where they were once struggling to read, Amira helped bring them up to a high school reading level. We’ve maintained an amazing personal and professional relationship which is the norm, not the exception with Amira. I have no reservations about recommending her to any family who may be considering her."

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in New York, NY

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in New York can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

New York Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in New York?
  • Do you have a New York driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
