A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Salma! I’m currently working and living at the Grand Canyon, but I’m excited to be heading back home to Columbus, Ohio. I’ve been babysitting for years, and growing up as the oldest of six siblings gave me plenty of experience keeping up with younger kids, helping out, and being the responsible older sister everyone could count on!

I’ve always loved spending time with kids and getting to know their different personalities. Whether it’s playing games, doing arts and crafts, heading outside for an adventure, or settling in with a good book, I enjoy finding fun ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I’m also a big fan of painting, reading, and spending time outdoors, so I’m always up for a little creativity or an outdoor adventure.

I’m a patient, dependable, and easygoing person who wants the kids I care for to feel comfortable, safe, and most importantly, have a good time. I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on!

A little bit about me

I am currently located in Georgia but hoping to move to New York soon. I have baby sat all ages including new borns, so I am very familiar with the ropes. I have no kids of my own but I do enjoy spending time with other peoples children and getting to know them. I have a deep passion for the growth of children because I understand how important the adolescent brain is from future growth and development. I am currently in school for biochemistry with the hopes of eventually become a doctor. I mention that factor to harp on the fact that I understand a lot about basic health, so children would be in good hands when it comes to being safe in all aspects of health. My goal is to become a live in nanny and care for said children in all ways possible.

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.
