A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Kaya! I recently graduated High school and I am currently taking a gap year before starting college next fall. I grew up in New York City and worked part-time at a daycare/preschool all four years of high school.
I also babysat for multiple families with children of varying ages throughout high school.
I am CPR and First Aid certified and can assist in cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, homework, and outings.

My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing arts/crafts, pretend play, music making, baking, encouraging independent time, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, see every child as their own person with specific wants/needs, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to.
In my free time I play electric bass and piano, write poetry, read, practice german/spanish, explore the city, paint, and see friends.

A little bit about me

I'm a girl who is very kind, empathic, patient and communicative. I was a teacher in my country for many years, so my students and I enjoyed being part of many activities while they were learning new knowledge. I took care of babies and toddlers for many years as well, since my numerous family had many babies and they always gave the opportunity for doing it. So, my little cousins or nephews were always so close to me.

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.
