A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Isabel 🤍

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient nanny with years of hands-on experience. I’ve been surrounded by children my whole life and have helped care for kids since I was 14, including my 7 nieces and nephews. Being around children truly makes me happy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.

I’ve had my driver’s license for almost 5 years with a completely clean record, and I’m very comfortable driving long distances. Safety and reliability are always my top priorities.

I’m currently in college and taking my classes online, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and fully dedicate my time to the families I work with.

I’m also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and pets. I’m dependable, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to support your family.

I would love to be a positive, caring presence in your child’s life 💕

A little bit about me

More than 10 years ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life: to dedicate myself to what I love and am most passionate about, caring for children. I know it was the right decision because the children I've cared for have left a special mark on my life, just as I have on theirs. In every home where I've worked, parents have been happy and appreciative to see their children joyful and thriving.

I have a college degree and studies in Early Childhood Development. I consider myself patient, creative, and approachable, and I love creating activities that help children feel safe, valued, and motivated to learn. I am fluent in Spanish, and every child I've worked with has had the opportunity to learn Spanish with me, a gift that stays with them for life and strengthens their cognitive development as they grow up bilingual.

Above all, I take my work very seriously. You will quickly see that I am someone you can fully trust and rely on.

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.
