A little bit about me

Hello,

My name is Libby and I am interested in helping you and your family out. I have continually cared for children of all ages since I was 14 years old. I love being around children and I have a passion for caring for them. I am 28 years old, and I consider myself very respectful, responsible, and reliable. I take care of children as if they were my own. I have had experience with children from a few months old to 15 years old. If there is anything the parent(s) needs to get done, I will go out of my way for them, and make sure their family is being taken care of. I can help with homework, light cooking and cleaning, craft activities and games, and prepare for bed time (reading, bath, etc). Also, I feel comfortable taking care of any sick child. I can provide any reference if the parent(s) need them. I also have a detailed childcare resume.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I’ve been working as a daytime and after-school nanny for a wonderful family in Philadelphia for the past two years. I graduated from Bryn Mawr College last May, and moved to New York City to attend Columbia University, where I’m completing a Post-Baccalaureate program in Psychology with a focus on child development.

I’ve always loved working with children and have 6+ years of experience through both nannying and coaching youth field hockey. I enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and engaging environment for kids while making sure parents feel heard and confident that their children are in good hands.

I am CPR certified, have reliable references available upon request, and would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about your family's needs!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Claudia Huerta I am 32 years old . I have a 7 year old boy who just entered 2nd grade. I am mexican . I speak both English and spanish fluently. I truly love kids very much . I am also pretty good with teaching and taking good care of them. I’ve had my sisters leave me their kids while they work because their kids genuinely love being with their aunty. I have taken a few years off work due to my son being diagnosed with autism and needed all my attention in the first years of his education. He is now doing so well and I feel comfortable getting a part time job while he is at school. He has taught me how to be extremely patient and even more lovable than i was. I am a thrust worthy and organized person. I love to read ,play indoors or at the park, love doing learning workbooks, museums, pools and anything to have my son distracted and thriving. I will for sure be happy to do all that with your children as well and am sure they will like me being their nanny :)

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.
