A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Sheneily!
I’m a 20-year-old Hispanic caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve had a passion for childcare since I was 15, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids to grow and play in.

I am CPR certified and PCA (Personal Care Assistant) certified, which means your child’s safety and well-being are always a top priority. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and love planning both indoor and outdoor activities—whether that’s a trip to the park, crafts, games, or story time. I’m also happy to help around the house with light cleaning and can assist with any snacks provided. I am mindful of any dietary needs or preferences.

In addition to childcare, I’m also comfortable with pets, including dogs and cats, and can help care for them if needed.

I’m reliable, kind, and flexible—and most importantly, I care deeply about building trust with both children and their families.❤️

A little bit about me

My name is Shyanne and I’m very interested in the nanny position you have open! A little about me I’m 18 years old, I absolutely love working with kids, and childcare has always been a big part of my life. My mom worked as a full time nanny growing up, and I was always right by her side, learning firsthand how to care for children with patience, fun, and responsibility. Outside of childcare, I’m really into sports, I’m a total girly girl, and I love staying active. I also have a soft spot for fresh fruits and fun activities, so I’m always up for keeping little ones engaged in healthy, creative ways! I’d love the chance to bring positive energy and care to your family. I’m happy to share more about myself, my availability, and any other details you’d like to know.

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.
