A little bit about me

I'm Carolina, a passionate caregiver from Argentina (fluent in English and Spanish), and graduated as a Psychologist and a Psychology professor.
I succesfully finished my 2 years Au Pair Program and now I’m looking for a full time nanny position in NYC.
A little bit about my experience with kids:
I worked in Argentina providing children’s therapy and here in the United States I was Au Pair of 4 kids in Westchester (new born baby,2,4 and 6 yo) I stayed with that family for a whole year!
The last year I was in Massachussets taking care of 3 kids (4,7 and 11 yo) also, another year!
I am CPR/First Aid certified and have 8 years of childcare experience. I am very creative, fun, active and loving. As a psychologist, I always priorize children's development and I follow the guidelines of parenting you prefer!
I love animals so if you have pets, that’s not a problem at all. Please reach out if you are interested or if you would like to talk with my references. Thank you in advance.

"I hired Jasmine as a night nanny for my one month old. She was great with my baby as well as helping with washing bottles and baby laundry. My son is two years old now and I still ask her to babysit on occasional date nights. She is punctual and enthusiastic, my son loves her!"

A little bit about me

Hi Family,

I love working with children of all ages but particularly to get early readers to excel and enjoy reading, writing, and arts enrichment. When I'm not in the classroom, tutoring, singing at a daycare center, babysitting or leading summer camp, I'm an administrator at schools handling paperwork and registration. My favorite activities are museum excursions, cooking a creative and healthy dinner, perfecting homework assignments and walking daily in the park. I'm more than happy to help with housework such as laundry, cleaning, getting ready for bed or school and grocery shopping.

Talk soon!

Sincerely,

Alexia-Camille

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.
