A little bit about me
I'm absolutely delighted to connect with you. Let me share a bit about who I am. As the eldest in my family, I've always been drawn to the nurturing side of life. Responsibility, compassion, and organization are not just skills to me; they're qualities that define my approach to childcare. Creating a warm, loving, and structured environment is not only my forte but also my passion. My goal is not just to meet your family's needs but to truly connect with your little ones, understanding and embracing their unique personalities. My approach is grounded in a calm and empathetic demeanor. I understand that each child is different, and my goal is to create an environment where they feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe in fostering not just a caregiver-child relationship but a genuine connection that brings comfort and happiness. Let's embark on this heartwarming journey together! Looking forward to meeting you and creating beautiful memories with your little ones.

A little bit about me
I'm an Oregon girl living on the east coast. With a decade of experience working with children of all ages! I have a full-time job with the ODHS Child Welfare, remotely until I find a full time nanny position. Evenings and weekends, I nanny for an amazing family in the village, but as the kiddos are getting older, they’ll soon no longer need extra help. I've witnessed their growth, smiles, and laughter, and it's truly rewarding. Being there for important milestones is something I cherish. I truly believe nannying is what I'm meant to do, I just need the right opportunity. Both my parents are elementary teachers, and I spent a lot of time in the classroom in my early 20s. While I considered going into teaching, I feel that I can contribute my talents and values more effectively with a family. If you have any questions or need references, please don't hesitate to reach out!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Sokhna Ndiaye, I am 23 years old. I actually have a passion for working with children. This for me is not just in social settings but professional ones as well! I like experiencing joy with others, especially children. Being a nanny allows me to combine my strengths such as being the oldest child of 8, and using my life experiences
What I enjoy about being a nanny is being around children and their continued excitement/enthusiasm for life. I believe that children are able to hold adults accountable in ways that are very subtle yet powerful. I love the children will interact with you with a sense of self assurance and tell you what they want when they want it. Which of course can be balanced through appropriate caretaking. I like being a nanny because it teaches me about myself and areas that I should work on, not just in professional settings but with self all while assisting parents in accomplishing their daily goals and tasks as it pertains to their children.

A little bit about me
I am an enthusiastic, organized and experienced caregiver, currently enrolled in college. I'm looking for a full-time, live-in/housing provided position. In addition to regular babysitting, in high school I nannied for four boys ranging in ages 7-13 for nearly two years. Duties included: school pickup/drop-off, after school activities, meal prep and cooking, grocery shopping, laundry and keeping the house tidy. I later worked as a summer camp counselor at a camp for urban youth. Then for a full year, I was a full-time live-in nanny both on the Upper West Side and the Hamptons. I took care of an autistic 14-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl. I also helped with both in-person and remote school for both children. I have experience caring for newborns through preschool as well. I have a niece and two nephews that I also helped with during my time in NYC. While in school this year, I have worked as a tutor for underserved elementary aged children.

A little bit about me
My passion for taking care of others started from a young age. I have filled many roles in the caregiving field such as Nanny, Babysitter, Nursing Assistant and School Health Aide. In each of these roles I have created a client centered care focus. My outgoing and vibrant personality makes it easy for me to connect with others. I am currently taking online college courses in Early Childhood Education. Knowing proper developmental milestones is very important to the care of children. Focusing activities with a concentration on being fun, interactive and supportive of growth. Staying patient and understanding of those I interact with is highly important. Meeting the individual where they are at to create the most successful environment possible. I love dancing, singing, traveling and volunteering. Working hard in all aspects of life is essential to growth. My main goal is to have a client centered care to sustain a harmonious lifestyle.

A little bit about me
I have a passion for facilitating and maintaining supportive and kind relationships with the children and families I work with. I am flexible on parenting styles and have worked with children with speech delays, ADHD, and Dyslexia. I also worked during COVID-19 when the children I nannied were virtual learning and discovered I have a talent and love for teaching. I am also proficient in ASL and have implemented ASL with two groups of children I’ve worked with. I come from a diverse background of different cultures, countries, and people. I grew up around lots of children and have always enjoyed their presence. My favourite thing about kids is that they remind us to romanticize a world around us that we have grown used to and now see as mundane. I believe nannying is a mutually beneficial relationship where the families and children I work with and for enrich my life and I enrich theirs.

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.
