A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Liva and I am currently seeking a live-out position as a PT or FT nanny. As someone with both a younger sibling and many nephews, I have a lot of experience looking after kids from ages 9 months and older. I have been compensated for childcare for over 5 years and am CPR certified. I am 20 years old and a recent graduate in Psychology with a minor in French from the University of Washington in Seattle and am making the move across the country in late July. In the future I hope to attend grad school in applied child and adolescent psychology, but until that happens I hope to continue to work with kids!

Hi! My name is Lindsay Scogin and I am originally from Alabama and relocating to NYC in June of 2024. I have a Master's degree in Elementary Education and have been a teacher for the past ten years. I have also been long-term baby-sitting for several families in my area since 2018, and I previously worked at a daycare in an infant room that cared for babies from 6 weeks to 6 months. I am excited for a career shift of becoming a nanny and getting to form relationships with a family.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Raina, and I'm 22 years old with 3 years of nannying experience and 7 years of paid babysitting experience.

I've loved childcare for as long I can remember - growing up, I spent most after-school time and summers helping my mother with her in-home daycare, where I learned from the best. (Although I may be biased). I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. My goal is to provide your child with a safe, structured, and fun environment. I love to cook, do crafts, play, and am happy to do housework and take your child to classes or events.

I am happy to provide references, and am CPR and First Aid certified with the Red Cross.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, baking, and running. I hope to hear from you soon!

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.
