A little bit about me
With experience in consulting and luxury concierge services, I’m highly organized and great at managing schedules, anticipating needs, and keeping everything running smoothly. More than anything, I’m passionate about providing attentive care, fostering a love of learning, and making family life just a little easier.
I currently live in the UWS, and I am a Columbia graduate student. So would be looking for part-time opportunities.
Always happy to provide references, jump on a call or meet in person before anything.

A little bit about me
I am a 32 year old native New Yorker and I am currently looking for a kind, warm family to work for. Aside from loving children and having almost a decade working as a professional nanny, here’s a little about me…
Currently working part-time as a nutrition health coach (AKA meal prepping is one of my favorite activities and something I’ll gladly do as one of my daily duties :)
I used to be a theatre actress so I have a very big creative side to me.
I am very engaging and hands on when I am with the little ones. I am a great communicator and would love to have that in return as well! Would love to connect and learn more about you and your family and see if we may be a good fit!

A little bit about me
I would love to get a job as a nanny, so I can continue to pay for my education and continue to grow my experience interacting with children and helping them develop both academically and personally, I believe children should have fun as they learn because having those positive interactions while they are young will impact them positively as they get older.
I will be the perfect match for your family if the family needs someone to engage their kids in fun, but learning activities, cooks healthy delicious meals, introduces/reinforces Spanish, helps with homework and has a flexible schedule.
Thank you in advance for checking my profile, don't hesitate to ask questions!

What are the responsibilities of a nanny?

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.
