Find a live-in nanny in New York, NY
Nanny Lane is an easy and safe place for finding live-in nannies
I am an American citizen, but I was born and raised in Ecuador, which has a family and community based culture. I have no official babysitting experience, because it is common for family members to take care of children in Ecuador. Over the last 5 years I have had cared for three toddler boy cousins. It comes naturally to make children laugh and feel motivated; as a result, my cousins always follow me around when I visit. I have tutor experience, and can help with homework.
I grew up without a T.V. and my younger brother and I enjoyed active creative play. We would create elaborate worlds in our living room and backyard that would entertain us for hours on end; something that I am still able to apply when playing with children.
I have work experience with children with or without disabilities or special needs.
I'm available any time.

My name Is Kahlia and I'm a committed childcare professional with a little over 5 years of Nanny experience. Over the course of my career I've had many wonderful experiences working with families of varying backgrounds and cultures. I enjoy getting to know each member of the family (pets too) and becoming a trusted member as well. My former employers would describe me as loving, flexible and creative. Rainy days don't stop the show! thats the perfect excuse to bake cookies, schedule a playdate or an afternoon trip to a museum. I also love to workout and enjoy cooking healthy meals and snacks! thanks so much for getting to know me a little, I hope we get to meet soon.
Best,
Kahlia
We love Tasha and have stayed in touch. She was wonderful and reliable and the kids love her. For w years ago on her first day I asked her to get a play date with a smart child from school and that child has been my son’s best friend for four years. She’s great at making connections and finding activities for the kids. - Lauren
