A little bit about me
I focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment while supporting healthy feeding routine, naps, and important developmental milestones. During wake windows, I incorporate tummy time, sensory play, reading, music, visual tracking, and interactive play that encourages motor development, coordination, and early language skills.
As Spanish speaker, I also enjoy naturally introducing Spanish through songs, simple words, and daily conversation, offering gentle exposure to a second language from an early age.
Safety is central to my approach. I maintain strong situational awareness and create a secure environment where babies can explore, roll, reach, and begin practicing new movements safely. I’m certified in Adult & Pediatric CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I bring excellent long-term references.Thanks!

A little bit about me
I grew up learning how to cook healthy, delicious meals and continue to cook for myself. I’m happy to cook and help out around the house when the kids are at school. Also, I'm a runner and like to stay active so I could take them to the park and run around/play sports with them.
I have experience babysitting 3 children at a time (4, 7, and 11 year olds) and I'm often around my cousins (1 and 2 years old) and help out with them. As well, I mentored/tutored students with intellectual disabilities for 2 1/2 years and helped them with their academics, habits, and emotional regulation.

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.
