A little bit about me

I would love to get a job as a nanny, so I can continue to pay for my education and continue to grow my experience interacting with children and helping them develop both academically and personally, I believe children should have fun as they learn because having those positive interactions while they are young will impact them positively as they get older.

A little bit about me

Hey there! I'm a proud UCLA alum who's dedicated to enriching children's lives. My journey with kids started during my college days, where I discovered my knack for helping them excel academically.

I've embraced the responsibility of ensuring their safety and convenience by providing transportation services. Whether it's picking them up from school or shuttling them to activities, I prioritize their well-being and punctuality.

Moreover, I understand the demands of a busy household, which is why I happily pitch in with light housekeeping tasks. I strive to make your home a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Through my experiences as a babysitter, ABA therapist, summer camp counselor, and teacher, I've cultivated a balanced approach that combines learning, creativity, and a dash of fun. My goal is to create a nurturing space where children feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to explore their potential in a safe and engaging environment.

A little bit about me

Hi! Nice to e-meet you, I’m Shayla. I started babysitting at 13, watching my cousins and teachers' children. My first “real job” was working in an after school care program at an elementary school for two years in high school. After graduating high school, I worked for a summer as an overnight camp counselor at a summer camp in Wisconsin, I was also a lifeguard! After that I worked a few different part time nanny jobs to pay tuition. I worked with a family of 5 (ages 5,3,and newborn) and a family of 4 (ages 3 and infant).Then when the pandemic hit, I committed to 1700+ hours of service through AmeriCorps, where I worked in a Kindergarten classroom with students who were homeless. After that, I spent a summer working as a direct support professional at a group home for children with autism who were wards of the state. While finishing my bachelor’s degree, I also worked full time as a nanny for a family of 4 in Manhattan (ages 2 and newborn).

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.
