I am writing to introduce myself as a driven and compassionate Nanny who has exceptional communication and childcare skills. Owing to my extensive childcare and housekeeping experiences, I can effectively take care of your children and household.
As a creative and energetic individual, I worked with many young children and enjoyed engaging them in creative, imaginative, and outdoor activities. Moreover, I have a track record of arranging fun activities, overseeing the children’s development, and assisting them with their homework.Additionally, I am able to care for children throughout the day, including educational play, meal preparation, trips to the park and library, and other activities that would develop and educate them. I am comfortable playing with the children, reading them books, and focusing on them completely.
My employers recognized me as a calm, resourceful, and proactive nanny who is able to take charge .

A little bit about me
Safety is my utmost concern and I carefully monitor children when I take them on outings to the park or to museums. I understand good nutritional choices and I carefully prepare meals that are healthy for kids but that they also love to eat. I have had terrific relationships with all of the families and kids with whom I’ve interacted with.
I am currently a licensed practical nurse but my true love is working with children. I have great verbal communication skills and can assist with all needs.

I graduated from Dickinson College with a BS in Neuroscience in 2022. From there, I worked in a child development lab at the University of Maryland where I focused on brain development of 3-9-month-olds.
After my time in the lab and working as a physical therapy aide, I am looking to put research into practice to help children reach developmental milestones as a physical therapist. I am looking to continue nannying in NYC as I prepare to apply to physical therapy school. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to chat!

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.
