A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tori, I am 28 years old, and I am seeking Full-Time employment. I am an experienced and reliable Nanny/Family Assistant with over ten years of experience caring for children of all ages, and their families. A college degree in Musical Theatre, along with a playful sense of humor and caring personality, make me an excellent fit as a Nanny for your active, artistic or scholastic-minded children. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle both physically and emotionally is extremely important to me, so meal planning, outdoor play, and talking through feelings are strategies I utilize to connect to your child. Further, my natural attention to detail, common sense, and experience as a Home Manager in a luxury residential building give me the tools to assist your family with administrative tasks.

A little bit about me
I am a online student at Eastwick College and an part time overnight senior caretaker. I was a full time sitter from 2020 til 2025 for my 8,4, and 2 year old nieces and nephew, as my sister finished nursing school, which is where I gain my experience for childcare, and then later senior care. On my spare time I love to study astrology, meet new people, and hang out with my lifelong friends. I am outgoing, social, reliable, and persistent. I am looking to expand my childcare experience bc I love children and I enjoy working with them. I am available only for children ages 2 and up.(Background check will be processed upon request)

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.
