Hi there!
My name is Diego, and I'm a warm, dedicated nanny from Colombia, excited to offer my skills and passion for childcare in New York. At 20, I bring 3 years of valuable nannying experience, and I pride myself on quickly connecting with children thanks to my understanding, caring, and patient nature. I love joining them in their games, helping with homework, enjoying outings, and teaching them new things suited to their age.
I'm a skilled cook, able to prepare delicious meals and follow any dietary plans you might have. I also enjoy keeping spaces tidy and organized, so I'm happy to help with light household tasks related to the children. Plus, I get along wonderfully with pets!
I'm also currently studying nursing at York College, which further strengthens my caregiving abilities. I'm very happy to be in this country and genuinely eager to support your family on your parenting journey.
Let's connect to see how I can be a positive and helpful presence in your home!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Hannah Mackiernan and I'm 24 years old. Growing up as the oldest in a large family with many younger siblings and cousins, I naturally stepped into a role model and caretaker position from an early age. I often helped my parents babysit and learned how to balance fun, responsibility, and patience while caring for little ones. Over the years, I've also worked with other families, gaining hands-on experience with children ranging from infants to pre-teens (ages 1–13).
Spending time with kids brings me genuine joy—I love engaging with them through play, learning activities, and simply being someone they can count on. I understand how important it is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for children, while also supporting parents in any way I can. Whether it's sticking to routines, helping with schoolwork, or just making sure everyone is happy and cared for, I take pride in being dependable, kind, and attentive in every childcare situation.

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.
