A little bit about me

My name is Victoria, and I am a dedicated and compassionate professional with a strong background in working with children. Born and raised in New York, I relocated to Florida two years ago and am currently pursuing a Nursing degree at Barry University.

I have extensive experience in child care and education, having worked in afterschool programs and as a swimming instructor. These roles have strengthened my communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills, allowing me to create engaging, supportive, and safe environments for children. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which enables me to connect with a diverse range of children and families effectively.

Additionally, I have had the privilege of working with children with special needs, an experience that has been both rewarding and enriching. My hands-on approach, patience, and adaptability make me well-equipped to support children in various settings, ensuring they feel valued and encouraged.

A little bit about me

I began working with children as soon as I was able to, around the age of 12, and continued babysitting whenever I was able. I went on to be a nanny in high school and a full time summer camp counselor in college. Most recently I have spent the past two years as an international au pair to three young girls, (currently) aged 7, 6, and 4.
I consider myself to be a warm, engaging, resourceful, and hard working person. I love working with children and alongside their parents to give them the best care possible. The relational aspect of this job is very special to me!
I believe that every child is beautifully different, and I have loved getting to know each of the children 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.
