A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jewel, and I’m a caring, dependable, and creative individual who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience as both a nanny and an afterschool teacher for elementary and middle school students, which has helped me build strong skills in communication, organization, and child development. I’ve also cared for infants and toddlers in family settings, and I pride myself on being calm, patient, and fun to be around.

I love creating a safe and nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and just be themselves. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning engaging activities, or simply being a supportive presence, I’m passionate about making a positive impact in a child’s life—and providing peace of mind for parents.

A little bit about me

My name is Annie and I have been working with children for the past decade. What began as afterschool babysitting grew into positions running a summer camp at a museum, working as a paraprofessional in a special education program, and most recently as a nanny with a Manhattan-based agency.

I recently graduated from Fordham University, where I studied a double major in Anthropology and Psychology and a minor in Classical Civilizations. I plan to earn a master's degree in Social Work so that I can contribute to the rehabilitation of incarcerated youth.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m an aspiring grade school teacher with several years of childcare experience through my church’s daycare, where I’ve worked with children of various ages and supported their daily routines, learning, and activities.

I’m patient, reliable, and very consistent when it comes to structure, but I also truly enjoy building genuine connections with children and creating a supportive & positive environment where they feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow. I take pride in being someone both children and parents can depend on.

I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, tidying up play areas, and preparing lunches or simple meals as part of the daily routine. I live on the Upper West Side, and I’m happy to provide references.

If this sounds like something that makes sense for your family, please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect further.

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.
