A little bit about me
I have worked with four families over the past four years. My first position was working with a family with two kids. The daughter was six months old (infant) and the son was about nine years old. I worked with this family for about three years, ranging from full-time to part-time. When working full-time my primary care was for their infant daughter who I would feed, bathe and entertain with activities such as reading, singing and fingerpainting. During afternoon hours I would pick up their son from school and help with homework.
My second position was as a sitter for a six year old boy. This was mostly a part time position over the summer into the school year. We spent time going on fun adventures around the city and participating in engaging activities like board games, going to the playground, and watching movies. We would also review his letters, reading and math skills, so he was still engaged in learning during the summer.
I also was as a babysitter for a six year old girl. The position was part time, and I was responsible for after school care. My most recent position was caring for a infant from the age of 3 month till most recently he turned 1.
As a caregiver, I love having the ability to engage the children I am caring for through interactive activities, spending time outdoors, going on adventures, and even baking/cooking at home. I love to help teach children practice literacy and math with everyday activities as I believe that education is an important part of a child's development.
When working with families it is important to me to establish bonds with both the children and parents.

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.
