"Gladys taught my daughter (who is 3) at Metrokids and she was fantastic. She has an early childhood Associates Degree and a real gift for children.
We engaged her to teach our son (who is 5) Spanish after school every day. I think he made good linguistic progress and had good fun with her -- he is very fond.
I’m confident you will feel lucky to have her help with your children."

Hi! My name is Anne, I am a recent graduate of Penn State where I got my degree in Secondary Education with a concentration in Earth and Space science. I have spent my last three summers working in ESY programs where I worked with children with a range on different learning and behavioral disabilities. I worked at a daycare this pass year where I worked with children ranging in ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. There I learned how to properly take care of smaller children and how to start them on the right track to hit certain developmental milestones. I also become comfortable watching multiple young children at once. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to connecting with you and hope we can grow a nurturing relationship for your child to grow in!

"Inga is incredibly loving and caring with the children. She's responsible, diligent and hard working, and she always put the children first. Inga has an really calm, fun way with the kids, never raising her voice but somehow getting them to listen & behave. She helped raise our children from diapers to school-age and was up for any challenge. She has become part of our family and we'll miss her very much!"

"Amelia watched our kids while home during college break. Our toddlers had a great time with her and continue to talk about her to this day! She was tasked to watch the children while we worked or were preoccupied, cook meals for them, and drive them to and from activities with the family car. She was a thoughtful, patient, and all around spectacular person to have helping our family. The kids loved to do crafts with her and we'd often come home to new art projects to be hung around the house. She was very communicative and easy to work with schedule-wise, often able to help us at a moments notice. We highly recommend Amelia!"

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Lily, and I'm a junior at Columbia studying education and second language acquisition. I’m originally from California and have been in the city for 2 years. In high school, I worked full time as a nanny during summer for two families: one with a 6-month-old baby, and another with 3 children, including a newborn. I currently work part time as an ESL teacher for Chinese and Russian students. Additionally, I worked in Brazil last summer at an elementary school, teaching English and doing research on second language acquisition in children. I love working with kids and seeing them grow and learn.
Regarding my interests and goals, I have a passion for learning languages, and I speak 6 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Korean and Chinese. This upcoming semester, I will study abroad in Taiwan to fully learn Chinese. In the future, I want to continue doing research into second language learning. I also love drawing, playing video games, and exploring the city.

"The Husband and I went to Cancun for a summer vacation trip but didn’t want to bring our 3 year old for health reasons, and our other friends were busy with work. We went with Lily whom we knew from Columbia as my colleague’s research assistant. She’s lovely, and took good care of our daughter, even keeping the place clean. Trustworthy, sweet, honest, 10/10"

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.
