A little bit about me

I'm Sofia, a 22-year-old native New Yorker with a vibrant spirit and a heart full of love for children. Graduating from Kenyon College with a BA in Dance and Spanish, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in various roles that have shaped my journey into childcare. I have been a camp counselor at three different camps and have babysat since I was 14.

Currently, as a Student Success Coach with City Year New York, I work closely with fourth-graders in East Harlem, guiding them through academic challenges and fostering social-emotional growth. I work closely with students in my class who are seeking asylum from South and Latin America, and I'm dedicated to helping them navigate language barriers and find their voice in the classroom.

Whether it's helping with homework, sparking creativity through arts and crafts, or simply sharing laughter, I'm dedicated to creating meaningful connections with every child I encounter.

A little bit about me

Hi parents :)

My name is McKenna and I would love to come nanny for your children!

I have been working with children ever since I can remember. As soon as I was old enough I began babysitting and continued that up until I graduated college. In high school and college I worked at a daycare (7 years in total) and cared for children 6 weeks old to 10 years old. I completed my Masters in elementary education at the University of Arkansas and completed a year long internship as a teacher in Fayetteville. I have been working as a third grade math teacher the past two years in the Bronx, New York.

I love pets and am great with art, activities, cleaning, schoolwork, etc.

I have always loved working with children and I can't see my life without them!

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.
