A little bit about me
Hello!
My name is Jasper, I grew up in Eugene Oregon and went to the University of Oregon and got a BA in Psychology and Fine Arts. After graduating, I pursued arts on the side (painting, drawing, costume design, set design) and became an educator at Whole Earth Nature School. I grew a passion for helping kids flourish learn and grow. I often use my skills in the arts and theater to engage kids creativity. Then I moved to Portland and worked as a Lead Teacher at the YMCA for two years. Designing and leading a program of 20-25 kids. Through the two years I gained a lot of experience in trauma-informed care and socio-emotional learning techniques. How to help kids regulate their emotions and connect to learning material or each other.
I currently live in Brownsville Brooklyn but I can commute to wherever I need to be.

A little bit about me
Hi everyone! My name is Eleanor "Swann" Hippe. I am a 20, almost 21-year-old, from Atlanta, Georgia. I went to the University of Mississippi before transferring to the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) where I studied Child Development and Family Sciences. I have experience with children 3 months to 10 years. I absolutely love spending time with children, and hope to pursue a career in elementary education sometime in the future. I have operated in many positions where I was responsible for the wellbeing of children including being a part-time nanny, sleepaway camp counselor, sporadic babysitter, and more! I have experience with special needs children as I have a 6-year-old autistic brother. On a more personal note - I play the piano, love live music, and grew up in an artistic and expressive household that championed creativity and individuality. I believe that I would bring those same attributes into any nannying role I occupy! Thank you!

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.
