A little bit about me
I am college educated - LLB degree in English Law (equivalent of a JD) from the University of Dundee in Scotland in 2013, graduating with honors. Where possible I undertook classes that related to my interest in youth, including courses concerning how law relates to families, justice, and society. My dissertation concerned inter-country adoption.
Post graduation I have worked primarily with children and young people. From [phone number hidden] I worked to teach various life skills to vulnerable youth aged 15 to 18 in Cheshire, UK. My main task in this position was to supervise the child during their day to day life and to teach them how to become a responsible adult. I provided emotional support and taught the young person everything from basic life skills like keeping clean and being kind to others, to making sure homework was completed/obligations met and how to have a productive daily routine, to experiencing the fun and educational things that the local area offered - from musical theater classes to museum trips to doing arts and crafts at home.
From [phone number hidden] I worked in a supervisory capacity at an out of school club for young children, aged 3 to 11. This work included supervising and mentoring the students when they were not attending classes as well as liaising with teachers, social workers, and parents to ensure that the children were cared for in the best way possible according to their individual needs. I made sure that every child under my care was happy, healthy, and felt safe and cared for by creating fun games, making tasty snacks, and ensuring that they stayed mentally stimulated. During this time period I obtained qualifications in food hygiene and safeguarding children, and also co-ran a weekly parent/toddler class.
I do not currently drive, but am fully comfortable using the subway system. I am a confident swimmer and enjoy travelling. I have qualifications in safeguarding children & food hygiene.

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.
