NY Area Nannies

Lina is AMAZING. She has been crucial in my child’s development during the half a year she helped to make her blossom. The only reason we are parting with her is because our schedule changed, and we are heartbroken to have to let her go. Our entire family loves Lina. She is caring, thoughtful, mindful, punctual, patient and the list goes on! I was particularly grateful for her ability to ensure we were on the same page by asking questions to avoid misunderstandings.
I know my baby is in good hands with her not just because she literally squeals with joy and rushes to meet her when she comes to the door, but because I have seen Lina adapt to her needs as my baby went from fragile infant to curious toddler.
Any child and family who have her in her life are assured a ray of sunshine even in the darkest of days. We are happy to talk to you if you have any questions about our experience with her.

We are looking to help our wonderful former nanny Rose find her next family. Rose (or Rosie as she likes to be called) was a caring and reliable caretaker to our two kids for 5 years from when our youngest was a baby until he started school full time two years ago. Our kids love her and were so sorry to see her go when we no longer needed a nanny. We would love to find Rose another loving family to work for since we know she would be a great addition to anyone’s family. Rose is extremely reliable and was never late in her 5 years with us. She helped with all child-related needs (laundry, tidying, cooking dinner, etc.), organized playdates and found great activities in the neighborhood. She was a major reason our youngest made friends before he was in school which helped him so much when he was little. She is a truly caring person and would be a great caretaker to anyone’s kids.

She is looking for a part time position but would commit to full time for the right family.

Mery is warm, thoughtful, responsible, patient, smart, and very capable. She is from Colombia, Spanish is her first language, and she speaks English fluently. She has made sure our 3-year-old speaks Spanish with as much fluency as he does English. She was a real partner in potty training, and she’s a big reason he has such good manners for his age. She takes him to classes, plans playdates and museum outings on her own, and is happy to cook his meals (she’s also a talented cake baker who loves to bring treats to the family). Our son adores her. Our 10-year-old is mostly off doing her own thing these days but also enjoys Mery’s company and guidance.

We are the fourth family Mery has worked with, and she has experience with everyone from newborns to 10-year-olds, including children with special needs. She would especially love to find a newborn or young infant to care for, though she is wonderful with any age. She is a straightforward communicator, reliable, and punctual; we could not recommend her more highly.

Experienced Baby Nurse / Nanny Seeking Newborn Position

Experienced, warm, and highly dependable Baby Nurse/Nanny seeking a position with a private family caring for a newborn or young infant.

Carolina brings extensive hands-on experience caring for babies and understands the importance of providing attentive, nurturing care while respecting each family’s individual routines, preferences, and privacy.

Her experience includes newborn feeding and care, establishing consistent sleep and daily routines, age-appropriate developmental activities, walks and outings, maintaining an organized environment for the baby, and providing parents with thoughtful and consistent communication throughout the day.

Carolina is particularly interested in finding a family where she can begin during the newborn stage and, if it is the right fit for everyone, transition into a long-term nanny role and grow with the family.

She is loving and affectionate with children while maintaining a professional, dependable, and respectful approach within the home.

Carolina welcomes inquiries from families who can provide details regarding the location, anticipated schedule, responsibilities, and expectations of the position.

Excellent references from previous families are available upon request.

Serious inquiries from families seeking an experienced, caring, and committed childcare professional are warmly welcomed.

Fantastic, experienced nanny available starting mid-September 2026. Full time, Brooklyn preferred.

Our nanny has been caring for our daughter since she was 6 months old and has been a trusted partner in her care while we work full time. She worked with her prior family for 7 years, from infancy to eventually two children, and with other families before that. Our daughter will be starting preschool in the fall, and we will be sad to not have Lucilla take care of her every day,

Lucilla has an even-keeled and steady demeanor, and is calm and patient with our daughter. She prepares her meals, reads books, sings, engages her fine motor skills, and takes her to the playground or playroom every day, as well as to any classes or activities that we have scheduled.

As first-time parents, we appreciated drawing from her knowledge of developmental milestones and years of childcare experience while also having the freedom to make the final call. She doesn’t mind recommending what she thinks will be helpful and is also 100% respectful if we go a different route.

Couldn’t recommend Lucilla more highly to a family who is looking for a reliable and loving caretaker with lots of experience.

If you are looking for a nanny, I’d be happy to give more information, or you can also contact Lucilla directly.

Our previous nanny, Delia, is one of a kind. She took care of our two sons for almost 3 years – started when our oldest was 10 months old and then took my second son when he was 10 weeks old.

Delia is extremely reliable, always on time, professional, and a heart of gold. She is extremely experienced with children (she has adult children of her own (and a grandchild) and somehow is so warm, but also strong (the children love her, and also respect her). She balanced the two kids perfectly – we now have a third and I wouldn’t hesitate having her watch all three full time. Delia watched the kids in the apartment, but also went out and about too so her and the kids could get a lot of outside time. She’ll follow whatever guidelines parents give!

We moved states, which is the only reason we don’t work together anymore – but if we were near each other, I would hire Delia again in a heart beat. We love her and any family will be absolutely lucky to have her. For context, she lives in Westchester County, so Westchester preferred, but is open to Bronx/Queens, Manhattan, and then Brooklyn.

Wonderful nanny alert! Our childcare needs have changed and our nanny of nearly 3 years will be looking for a new position at the end of September. Erika started with our family when my youngest child was 10 months old, and since then she has grown to be an indispensable part of the family. She is extremely capable, loving, and energetic with our three kids (7, 4, and 3). She is always engaging them in creative activities, adventures, or play dates, and they have incredibly close friendships in the community because of her efforts. She is a native Spanish speaker (fluent in English) and all three kids speak some Spanish because of her. She prioritizes their safety and is never on her phone around the kids unless it’s necessary. Our kids feel safe, happy, and loved every day.

Erika has also been very flexible and generous with her time when we have needed it, arriving early or staying late, and has adapted to our changing needs by being proactive around the house.

Erika is open to full time or part time work in either Manhattan or Brooklyn. She’s ideally suited to a family with babies, toddlers, and young children (3 months – 7 years).

We had the pleasure of having Dian Grace Powell as our 24-hour baby nurse for almost 4 months while caring for our twins, and we could not recommend her more highly. She is professionally trained, extremely energetic, organized, reliable, and trustworthy. She is excellent at scheduling and keeping everything running smoothly, while also being incredibly gentle, caring, and loving with the babies. She is fun and engaging with them, moves quickly and efficiently, and handles everything with confidence and calm. Caring for twins is no easy task, but she managed both babies exceptionally well and was truly wonderful to have in our home. We are so grateful for all her help and care, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated, capable, and loving baby nurse.

Yvonne was our nanny from the time our daughter was a few months old until she was 11 and she is an absolutely wonderful nanny. She is a very responsible, caring, gentle and encouraging person. I particularly appreciated how engaged she was with our daughter when at home or on regular trips to the parks, museums and around the neighborhood. She was a dream come true for our family. I frequently received compliments from other parents about how great Yvonne was with our daughter and I always felt completely secure with leaving our daughter in Yvonne’s care. We had such a great experience with her! Yvonne also has experience with newborns, including working as a baby nurse. Happy to do reference calls.

After 17 wonderful years with our family, we are honored to recommend our beloved nanny, Bertha. She has been an integral part of our household, caring for our two sons from infancy through their school-age years with unwavering dedication, affection, and warmth, treating them as if they were her own. Bertha possesses an infectious positive energy and a true passion for working with children. She is seeking a position with a kind family who values a strong, enduring partnership. Bertha is highly skilled at establishing predictable daily routines, managing nap schedules, and guiding feedings. She takes a hands-on approach to toddler milestones, including potty training and social skill building. She is proficient in infant scheduling and early social development. Bertha believes in keeping children active and engaged outdoors. She loves taking walks around the city, organizing local playdates, and exploring neighborhood activities. Her extensive network among Manhattan nannies ensures rich social opportunities for the kids.

Paola was with our family for over a year, and we’re only saying goodbye because our two-year-old is starting preschool. We’d have kept her otherwise.

She cared for our three children- her main focus was our baby boy during the day, and she took on all three, including our two older girls, in the evenings once they were home from school. Juggling that range of ages is not easy but she managed always with a smile and seemingly unlimited energy.

What stood out most to us was the bond she formed with our son. It happened remarkably fast, and for a long stretch she was the only caregiver he would accept. That says more than anything else we could write here.

She’s flexible, kind, and endlessly patient. In our experience she was completely trustworthy, and we never had concerns about our children’s wellbeing in her care.

If you’re looking for someone loving and reliable you should consider Paola.

Adama is a mature, thoughtful, deeply caring nanny with over 29 years’ experience taking care of newborns, toddlers, and school-aged children. She was our nanny for many years and our children just adored her. She is highly responsible, always shows up on time, and is willing to be helpful in all the ways that busy parents need and appreciate. She is hard working, affectionate, and trustworthy. Our children are now fully grown and they still reach out to Adama as a family member whom they love. We cannot recommend her more highly!

I’m so happy to recommend our former nanny, Bibi, who will be available starting in September! Our family was incredibly lucky to have Bibi care for our two boys (now 3 and 1) over the past couple of years. She became such an important and trusted part of our family, and our boys absolutely adore her. She is warm, loving, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children in her care.

One of the things we appreciated most about Bibi was how proactive she was. She was always thinking about ways to engage the boys, support their development, and make their days fun and enriching. She is very outgoing and loves getting out of the house with the kids, whether that meant going to the park, out on a picnic, playdates in the neighborhood, or simply finding new things to explore. She has a wonderful instinct for keeping children happy, engaged, and well cared for.

Bibi is also exceptionally dependable and hardworking. We always felt completely confident that the boys were in great hands. She was organized, responsible, attentive to all the details of their care, and incredibly flexible when our schedules required it. Most importantly, Bibi is someone we trusted completely with our children. She brought so much warmth and positivity into our home, and we feel very fortunate to have had her with our family. Any family would be extremely lucky to have Bibi caring for their children, and I would recommend her without hesitation.

If you’re looking for a loving, dependable, proactive nanny who will truly become part of your family, I can’t recommend Bibi highly enough. Please reach out to her directly at 347-277-1212.

A Truly Exceptional Nanny

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Aurélie as part of our family for the past 13 years. She joined us when our first child was an infant, and over the years she has helped raise both of our children into the kind, independent, wonderful 13- and 11-year-olds they are today.

Aurélie has cared for our son and daughter through every stage, from infancy and toddlerhood through elementary school and now the junior high years. What makes her so special is her ability to evolve with them. She has always understood what they need at each stage and has found the right balance of nurturing, structure, independence, and accountability.

She is calm, loving, grounded, completely dependable, and incredibly intuitive. Our children absolutely adore her. She has become my daughter’s best friend and confidante, and my son trusts her implicitly and listens to her. She is always in their corner, while also knowing when to hold them accountable and give them the guidance they need.

Aurélie grew up in Paris and has taught both of our children French from a very young age. She taught them to read and write in French, and last year, when we traveled to Paris together for the first time, our children were complimented on their accents and fluency. Watching that come full circle was incredibly special to us.

As the children grew, her role naturally changed. When they were little, she was the nanny who spent hours at the playground, arranged playdates, and brought just the right amount of energy and attention to their days. As they entered school, she became an important part of their education, helping with homework, preparing for tests, encouraging reading, developing good study habits, and helping them stay organized. She coordinates sports and activities, makes sure they have time to read, and has always created a sense of structure while allowing them to become increasingly independent.

She also takes care of so much of what keeps our household running smoothly, from the children’s laundry to preparing healthy, balanced dinners and keeping things orderly. She is incredibly flexible when plans change, anticipates what needs to be done, and can always be counted on.

Most importantly, she has been there for our family through every milestone and transition. She knows when the children need support, when they need space, and when they need a little extra encouragement. She has an extraordinary ability to grow alongside the children in her care and to remain the right person for them at every age.

After 13 years, Aurélie is so much more than our nanny. She is a trusted member of our family who has played an enormous role in raising our children. We could not recommend her more highly to another family looking for someone who will truly invest in their children, care for them wholeheartedly, and become an important and lasting part of their lives.

Hi everyone! Our most beloved nanny Julie is looking for her next family as our daughter is now in school. She has been a rock for our family for 4 years and has loved Olympia like one of her own. I cannot recommend her enough and I don’t even know how to describe how important she has been to our family. She is extremely reliable, has never been late, she does our laundry and very light cleaning, is great at organizing playdates, takes our daughter out all day to the park and playgrounds and classes and cares for our daughter in the most meaningful ways and has helped raise her into an incredible little girl. I would love to help her find her next loving family. Julie was with her previous family for 10 years and they are also available to chat regarding a recommendation. She is looking for full time or part time. Please reach out to me with any questions or reach out to Julie at +1 (646) 500-1591.

Dear Prospective Family,

It is with enthusiasm and love that I write this letter of recommendation for Susana Peralta. Susana worked with us as a part time caregiver for 13 years- from when my older daughter was just a few months old and until my younger son turned 9. Susana has been an integral part of our children’s lives since their infancy- she built a strong, loving bond with each of them that continues today even though she no longer works with us. Her long time employment with our family speaks to her talent as a caregiver and professional work ethic.

As a caregiver Susana is affectionate, nurturing and playful. My kids adore her, and her relationship with them has changed over the years as they’ve matured and their needs have changed. When the kids were infants, Susana helped with and taught me about basic infant care, feeding schedules, sleeping wisdom, and how to support them with developmental milestones. Together we boiled, pureed and froze food, cleaned bottles, and tended to illnesses. As the kids grew, she organized playdates, made sure they had fun activities to do at home and out in the world. She helped out by cooking for the kids, doing light housework, keeping things organized, and supporting me as a mom. Susana always says “lo hago con mucho amor” which means she does everything with lots of love. I know this is true!

Susana often used her connections with other nannies to plan group playdates and encourage socialization. My kids developed long time friendships with these other children. I remain in contact with some of these other caregivers and families. Our family network has grown as a result.

As an employee Susana is incredibly professional and knowledgable about caring for children. She is part of a nanny cooperative which provides her ongoing training in child development.

I recommend Susana without any hesitation or reservation. Please reach out directly to her, or to me for more information.

Our nanny Paula is very experienced and has cared for our daughter (now 4.5) since she was seven months old and our son (22mo) since the day he was born. Now that both of our kids will be in school, we are hoping she can start with another family who will appreciate her care and attention.

Paula is very reliable and consistent and never calls out sick. She is extremely protective of our kids, and I never worried that anything would happen to them on her watch.

She loves taking our kids to parks for picnic lunches and to museums. She is very kind and regularly buys our kids clothes and stuffed animals just because. Many times when we have run out of our kids’ favorite fruits, I have come home from work to find that Paula has replenished them. She prepares healthy meals and snacks, and even washes and folds everyone’s laundry. Our kids have always been very talkative and verbal, no doubt because Paula was always talking to them.

Paula is particularly great with babies and is ideally looking to join a family with a newborn or young baby. She would prefer a full-time position in Manhattan, especially on the UWS or UES, starting in August or September.

I’m happy to share more details and give a reference.

Julie has worked with our family for over 3 years. She started working with us when our younger son was only 2 months old, and we are only now parting ways as our son is moving into full day school and we can no longer offer full time work. Julie recently moved to New Jersey to be closer to her kids and while she commutes to us in Boerum Hill every day, she would love to have a shorter commute and would prefer to work in Brooklyn Heights, Manhattan and New Jersey.

Julie has been a calm and consistent presence in our home. She has a wonderful bond with my boys, and we have felt so lucky to have her as part of our child raising team. It has been such a weight off of us knowing that our kids are happy, safe and well cared for when they’re with her. She has been a life saver for us time and again from working over-time when we need evening care and staying overnight when my partner and I both had to be out of town, to helping us take care of kids home sick from school so my partner and I didn’t have to miss work.

Since she has been caring for our younger son from 2 months to 3.5 years, she has been crucial in helping with all of his developmental milestones, from feeding him, helping with gross motor development, potty training, and lots more. We regularly have people complimenting my son’s good manners and it’s all thanks to Julie. She encourages polite manners and has patiently and compassionately taught our younger son so many great behaviours. Everytime they come home he takes off his shoes and coat, puts them away, and washes his hands calmly and independently thanks to Julie’s encouragement and consistency. My son also has severe eczema which meant we were very strict with how we introduced foods early on as we monitored for allergies, and she followed our lead and supported us well in that process.

Julie has been working in Brooklyn for over 20 years and has built a wonderful community. A few weeks into working with us she realized a friend of hers worked with the family across the street and now the kids are best friends. She is always out of the house with my son either on play dates with the many friends she has found for him or is taking him to various playgrounds, museums, the zoo, the aquarium, our local fire station (he’s on a first name basis with all of the fire fighters), and more. I never have to come up with activities for them as she’s already planned a fun day for my son before she even arrives. Though of course whenever I set something up, I can trust they will be there ready to go on time if not 15 minutes early.

I cannot recommend her highly enough! Please feel free to reach out to myself or her directly if you are interested or know anyone who is. Many items marked “no” can be discussed directly with Julie and are at her discretion.

Posting about our amazing nanny, Jennar, who is looking to work with a new family closer to Morris & Essex area. She stepped in adeptly when our previous nanny had to leave abruptly to take care of family and nothing missed a bit. She’s amazing at being silly with my preschooler while also comforting our toddler – great cook, always on time, the consummate professional. We’d 100% keep her if her commute to Hoboken weren’t so long for her. She’s truly wonderful – I truly hope she lands with a caring family. You’d be so lucky! I’d be happy to answer any questions directly.

Maria has been caring for my son for a year and has become a valued and trusted part of our family.

She joined us when he was four months old, caring for him during the most critical parts of development. She is constantly speaking to him in two languages, reading to him and playing with him. I know it was key in his impressive language and critical thinking skills.

She also takes him outside every day. She never stays inside for herself, making sure to prioritize his wellbeing. On bad weather days, she still took him to our complex playroom or just around the building so he could have some socialization. She is familiar with every playground, park & library in the area and makes sure he is having fun. It’s so great to see while I’m at work. He is incredibly social now and plays so well with others, and I know Maria was a huge part of that. She makes nanny friends and it has helped make him friends in the area too.

She also cooks or prepares him breakfast, lunch and snack every day. She prioritizes healthy, balanced meals, along with physical activity. He is never hungry! I always come home to a clean kitchen as well. She does is laundry and keeps his play spaces so clean, which has been a massive help as a working mom. She’s also exceptionally punctual in addition to being extremely flexible and understanding if I am running a few minutes late.

She truly loves my son as a family member. It makes me feel so much better as a mom to know how loved he is 40+ hours a week while I’m at work.
We are moving to the suburbs, which is the reason we have to part ways full-time. We hope Maria can still be part of our lives and would definitely use her for babysitting.
