"Torri was excellent with my 2 daughters this past fall and winter. She was very flexible and my children loved her! Sadly I did not need child care anymore but if I were to I would definitely rehire her! She kept my kids busy and did not mind when I’d ask her to do other tasks. Torri went out her way for my family and treated us all like we were family as we did her! Whoever gets her next is very lucky!"

She had to leave to another state to pursue her dreams and we wish her the best always."

"Jessi was absolutely wonderful with our daughter, who she started with around 7 months. We are first time parents and our child was medically fragile at the time and Jessi brought experience, was super careful to not get her sick, and was just generally lovely and joyful. She truly loves the children she cares for. She was also professional and respectful of any rules we set while also bringing her own suggestions which we were open to, and probably saved me hours of googling and researching something like "what is the right cup for X development stage". Jessi is incredibly trustworthy and remains a part of our inner circle, we still ask her to babysit because our daughter loves her and misses her so much. If you want a truly kind and caring experienced English speaking nanny, Jessi is perfect. She also showered our daughter with presents and clothes which we get many compliments on :) We trusted her with our precious baby and she never let us down for a second. Highly recommend!"

"It is with great pleasure that I write in enthusiastic endorsement of Simona Conti as a childcare provider. She has provided childcare for my son since January 2017 when he was five months old to the present day. From the beginning, Simona has been an ideal caretaker: responsible, kind, nurturing, trust-worthy, and attentive. She has always met and surpassed our expectations of childcare from her steadfast reliability and punctuality to navigating changes in our child’s routine to building a genuine relationship with our son. At each stage, she met our new suggestions and expectations for care: from warming breast milk bottles to playground safety to traveling on the subway. We have utmost trust that she will implement our family’s new practices and guidelines. She is always attentive to our child’s needs and reports her insights and observations with care. Simona is friendly, kind, and energetic. Simona has been a beloved and outstanding caretaker for our son."

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.
