A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sophia, and I’m a recent graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design relocating to New York City in July. I have several years of childcare experience working in daycare and private school settings, along with long-term nannying and babysitting for families. I love working with children and find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth, curiosity, and confidence.

My background has given me experience with children of different ages and personalities, and I always aim to create a SAFE, PATIENT, and SUPPORTIVE environment. I enjoy planning fun and engaging activities like arts and crafts, creative storytelling, outdoor play, and imaginative games that keep kids active and curious.

Families I’ve worked with describe me as reliable, responsible, and warm. I take pride in building trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I’m excited to find a wonderful NYC family where I can be a positive and supportive presence in a child’s daily life.

A little bit about me

Experienced newborn care specialist and nanny. I have 17 years experience and I am also certified in sleep training. I am patient, caring, understanding and trustworthy. I have raised three daughters of my own the youngest being 7 years old. I have worked with a family for over 3 years as a live in nanny where I took care of their baby girl from she was 4 weeks old and their 4 year old son. This experience has
given me a deep understanding of the unique needs of
newborns and infants, along with the ability to connect with
families in meaningful ways.
I excel in creating stable and effective routines tailored
to each child’s needs. My approach to organizing daily tasks
and schedules ensures that parents feel confident and
supported in managing their child’s care.
With a wealth of experience assisting not only my own
children but also my nieces and nephews, I brings a
compassionate, personalized approach to every family I have
worked with.

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.
