A little bit about me
I have been working with children professionally for about 5 years now and I love it! I am the oldest of 4 so I was always the designated babysitter for both my siblings and cousins. I have worked in many different environments including babysitting, summer camps, preschools, and nannying.
My favorite age group to work with is toddler to preschool age but I am fully equipped and trained to work with any children from newborn to teenagers.
I am 100% fluent in American Sign Language, as both of my parents are Deaf. I have also worked with many Deaf and special needs children.

A little bit about me
I enjoy being with children of all abilities and am happy to discuss any special needs your child may have. My experience includes supporting children who have ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, asthma, eczema, allergies, and seizures.
I’ve also been around dogs my whole life, so I’m comfortable working with families with pets.
I strongly advocate for reducing screen time and encouraging more outdoor and creative activities.
If your household is multilingual in English, Korean, or Japanese, I'm happy to communicate with your children in those languages. My Korean is self-taught and introductory level. Native in EN and JPN. Teaching myself some Mandarin through my tradicitonal chinese medicine practice as well.
Feel free to reach out!

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.
