A little bit about me
I enjoy being with children of all abilities and am happy to discuss any special needs your child may have. My experience includes supporting children who have ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, asthma, eczema, allergies, and seizures.
I’ve also been around dogs my whole life, so I’m comfortable working with families with pets.
I strongly advocate for reducing screen time and encouraging more outdoor and creative activities.
If your household is multilingual in English, Korean, or Japanese, I'm happy to communicate with your children in those languages. My Korean is self-taught and introductory level. Native in EN and JPN. Teaching myself some Mandarin through my tradicitonal chinese medicine practice as well.
Feel free to reach out!

A little bit about me
My name is Karoline Lira, and I am a highly skilled, well educated and experienced nanny seeking a top-tier position in New York City. I hold a degree in Business Administration and have nearly six years of childcare experience, caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers.
Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, I bring a rich cultural background and fluency in multiple languages, which enhance my ability to connect with diverse families. My experience includes working with high profile families in Washington, D.C., where I developed a reputation for professionalism, discretion, and excellence.
I excel in multitasking, having successfully managed the needs of multiple children simultaneously. I am organized, intelligent, and ambitious, cooking nutritious meals, grocery shopping, cleaning and organizing spaces.
Growing up in a large family, I bring a natural creativity and energy to my work, ensuring children are engaged and entertained.
Best,
Karoline Lira

A little bit about me
I have ample experience with getting babies on schedules, sleep training, bottle training, and more! As well as plenty of experience with cloth diapering & the Montessori/Gentle care taking approaches.
Outside of this, I value fostering your child's development & creativity and work hard to make sure they are surrounded by a conducive environment for this!
I am also looking to stay up to date on current best caretaking practices, and recently completed a caretaker child development course at Barnard.
I aim to get outside everyday - even in the rain! And love to attend baby story times, toddler gyms, go to art museums, and everything in between. Nothing is better than Central Park on a sunny day!

A little bit about me
I’m currently looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities outside my regular working hours as I work toward paying off my student loans.
I have several years of nannying experience with families, caring for children of different ages, including a 6-month-old baby and two 11-year-olds. I’m kind, compassionate, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. My priority is always to create a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. I’m also trained in first aid, and have previously tutored in maths.
I have a flexible schedule outside of work and am available for early morning care, school drop-offs, after-school pickups, evening routines, bedtimes, and overnight stays.
I’d love to connect with families looking for someone reliable, caring, and experienced. Looking forward to hearing from you!

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.
