New York City Nanny & Postpartum Care FAQs
Can I hire a live-in nanny in a New York City apartment?
Yes, as long as there is a safe, dedicated sleeping space for the caregiver and your building allows it. During your consultation, we’ll review your apartment layout, building rules, and expectations to decide whether live-in or live-out care is more realistic.
Do your caregivers understand New York City transportation and building security?
Many of our nannies and night nurses are comfortable navigating NYC streets, subways, and high-rise buildings. We also discuss doormen, key fobs, visitor policies, and security expectations during the matching process.
Can I request a Mandarin- or Cantonese-speaking nanny in New York City?
Yes. My Asian Nanny specializes in Chinese-speaking caregivers, especially Mandarin and Cantonese. You can specify your language preferences on the Family Registration Form, and we’ll prioritize candidates who match those needs.
How early should New York families book a confinement nanny or night nurse?
We recommend reaching out by your second trimester, especially if you’re due during winter holidays or popular vacation periods. Early inquiries give you more choices and smoother scheduling for interviews and start dates.
