A little bit about me
Hello there! My name is Sherone Sinclair and I would love to be considered for this position. I am responsible, reliable, and a cheerful person with excellent experience with kids ranging from Newborn to pre teens. However, newborns and infants are my speciality. I am a Certified Newborn/infant Care Specialist. I am trained in Infant CPR, Sleep training, and caring for multiples and other skills necessary to care for newborns/infants which is why I believe I would be the perfect Candidate for this Position. I simply love children and I love being a nanny. It is always a great joy to experience the amazing development of children. From the newborn who cries to communicate their needs, to toddlers who adoringly mispronounced words while learning to speak, to school aged kids who now entertain me with stories of their school experience and activities.

"Our family was fortunate to have Sherone take care of our infant daughter full-time. My daughter’s face lit up every morning as Sherone walked through the door, and she often crawled over to greet her. Sherone is very friendly, hardworking and with a calm demeanor. She was always on time, reliable, easy to get along with, and very covid cautious. My daughter quickly made friends with other babies around her age in the neighborhood thanks to Sherone. Any family would be lucky to have Sherone care for their child."

A little bit about me
I have always loved children and children feel comfortable and cared for by me. I have two grown children of my own. They have both had their masters degrees and my son has just graduated with his PhD. I think it is very important to give security and love to children and it is my priority to do so: Never holding back affection and pride in them. I raised my children with these as well as routines to keep their growth smooth and consistent. I took care of three children in the same family from 2011 to 2026. They are all grown and now I seek a new family to be a nanny for. I am looking forward to meeting you.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m an experienced and caring nanny. Fluent in French and English. With 10 years of experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to preteens, as well as teens, offering a nurturing and supportive presence tailored to their unique needs. As a ballet dancer, I bring creativity, energy, and a focus on healthy activities to my work. I enjoy introducing kids and teens to the joy of movement—whether through dance, sports, or other active games—and encouraging them to explore their passions. For teens, I’m also a reliable mentor who can provide guidance with organization, schoolwork, or simply being someone they can trust. I’m dependable, organized, and skilled at balancing structured routines with plenty of fun and flexibility. I hold CPR/First Aid certifications, ensuring a safe and loving environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see how I can support your household while inspiring your children or teens to stay active, creative, and confident!

A little bit about me
Hi!! My name is Sabrina but most people call me Brina. I have recently graduated college and am starting graduate school this fall. I’ve been working with children for as long as I can remember, with babysitting starting in middle school, to working at a preschool during my college years. In high school I even had the opportunity to take a childhood development class to teach a first grade class for the day. To say I love being in childcare is an understatement. Although it’s not my career choice it is my passion project on the side. I will forever love children’s curiosity and passion for exploration. I promise to keep things fun, creative, and as screen free as possible. I have a lot of experience finding alternatives to sitting on an ipad due to my preschool being a screen free environment. I also have experience in baby care and absolutely love babies! It keeps my baby fever at bay (which my boyfriend is grateful for). I would love to talk and learn about your littles!!

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.
