NY Area Nannies

Amazing Nanny Available — Greenpoint/Williamsburg Area
Available: September 2026

Type: Full-time, long-term placement preferred
Has own car, willing to drive and travel

Our family is relocating to Europe for a job opportunity, and it means saying goodbye to Stacie, our amazing nanny. If we could bring her with us, we would in a heartbeat.

Stacie has been with our daughter full-time since she was four months old, and the bond between them is the real thing. Our daughter lights up the moment Stacie walks through the door.

She is calm, gentle, and endlessly patient. She fills every day with purpose, including library story times, baby music classes, playdates she organized through her network of nannies in the area. No screen time, ever. She prepared meals when our daughter started solids, kept her clean and nicely dressed, and sent us photos and updates throughout the day without us ever having to ask.
She’s reliable, always on time, communicates proactively, has her own car, and has traveled with us to East Hampton. She knows the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area well from prior positions.

Your child will be lucky to have her. We’re happy to speak with any family personally so please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We are moving out of New York this summer, and losing Tashi is the hardest part of leaving. She has been the cornerstone of our household for the last four years, caring for our daughter Anya from age 1 to 5 and our son Savan from infancy to age 3. If we were staying, we would keep her forever.
Every recommendation says similar things: reliable, loving, great with kids. Tashi is all of those things, but that does not come close to covering it.

1. She handles emergencies better than we do.
When our toddler took a serious fall and cut his tongue, Tashi assessed the situation and insisted he needed to see a doctor right away. While we got the emergency dentist appointment set up, she took him there herself and managed the entire situation calmly. She handled it entirely, and better than we would have.

When both my husband and I had our flights canceled and were stranded out of town at the same time, Tashi stayed overnight without being asked. She managed bedtime, handled the morning, and kept everything completely normal. By the time we got home, the kids had not even registered that anything unusual had happened.

2. She thinks about the whole child, not just the hours.
Without anyone asking her to, Tashi makes sure our kids video call their grandparents regularly during the day.

She taught Anya the alphabet at two years and three months. By three, she was weaving math into ordinary moments throughout the day. Handing her blueberries, she would ask, “If I give you two more, how many will you have?”

Her discipline is worth calling out as well. She holds high standards for behavior but is never harsh. She is firm and calm in a way that makes the kids feel safe rather than managed. Because of her, both kids know how to communicate their feelings and practice emotional self-regulation, which is not easy to teach.

Both their favorite birthday gifts are always the ones that Tashi gets. She knows both their interests so deeply, and the connection they have is incredibly special. Anya loves school, but she still occasionally asks to skip just so she can spend the day with Tashi instead.

3. She builds their world with total initiative
Tashi does not wait to be told what to do. She completely takes the initiative to plan their days, keeping them physically active and entirely screen-free. She is constantly organizing trips to Governors Island, the zoo, and all over New York because she is always thinking about what will enrich their lives. Savan is obsessed with transit, and she regularly plans ferry boat rides, bus rides, and train rides just for him to explore.

She has also made many fellow nanny friends in the neighborhood and constantly has different playdates and activities organized for the kids. Because of her proactive nature, our children have a wonderful social life.

4. The fundamentals are flawless.
She plans and prepares three fresh, wholesome, and nutritious meals for the children every day. She keeps the kids’ spaces tidy and manages their laundry. When it came to potty training, she was an incredible partner; she even devised a sticker chart system entirely on her own that motivated both children and helped immensely. Logistically, she is an exceptional communicator and is always punctual, professional, and reliable.
Other parents from Anya’s school have tracked me down independently just to tell me how amazing Tashi is and how different she is from other nannies they see at pickup and drop-off.

We are completely devastated to lose her. She is a rare gem who will become a loved extension of your family. Please reach out if you want to talk; I would happily discuss of this on the phone/text.

SUMMER NANNY AVAILABLE. Our wonderful nanny is available for the summer (we are traveling). She can start June 22. She is amazing with newborns and older kids. We have a newborn, strong-willed 4-year-old, 10-year-old, and 14. She is lovely with all of them. She is happy to be outside, at parks, on adventures. She has an upbeat, bubbly personality. She’ll seamlessly fit right in. I work from home, homeschool, and am breastfeeding every 2 hours and she helps make it all work. A true partner in crime!! Hoping to find her a job this summer for a great family.

She would prefer a Monday-Thursday schedule but she is flexible with times and days. Happy to work in Manhattan or Westchester.

Available June 22 – August 23.

You can email me with any questions or reach out to her directly.

This is maybe the easiest and most enthusiastic referral and recommendation we could ever
give. After more than 20 years with our family, our beloved nanny is ready to open her heart to a
new family and we couldn’t be more honored to help her find them.
She is, quite simply, one of the most extraordinary people we have ever known. She came to us
as a caregiver and became something far greater: a cherished member of our family in every
sense of the word. She has loved children in my family across multiple generations, through first
steps and first days of school, through scraped knees and big feelings, through every milestone
that mattered. She showed up with the same warmth, patience, and devotion every single day,
without fail. But her gift to us didn’t stop with the children. She helped shape us as parents. Her
steadiness, her wisdom, her quiet confidence. We leaned on all of it more than we can say. In
so many ways, she raised all of us.
She is nurturing and creative, calm and joyful, endlessly dependable and deeply thoughtful.
Children feel safe with her instantly, and parents feel that rare, irreplaceable peace of mind that
comes from knowing your little ones are truly loved.
We want her next chapter to be as beautiful as the one she gave us. If you are looking for
someone who will love your children as her own, please reach out. We would love to talk to you
about her.
All the best,
Sherisse and Eddie Freiberg

Our amazing nanny, Danielle, is looking for a new family!

Danielle took care of our older son two years ago, and then (thankfully!) agreed to work with us again this year for a four-month stint before our baby starts daycare in mid-May.

Danielle immediately bonded with both of our kids, and helped us navigate various transitions during their infancy — eating solids, drinking from a cup, transitioning nap schedules, you name it. She’s warm and caring, while at the same time fiercely protective, which has always made me feel at ease when I’m gone for the day. Danielle also believes in talking to kids clearly and directly, which has helped our sons develop their language skills.

It has always been clear that Danielle views her role, in part, as being our sons’ biggest advocate. For both of them, that’s meant helping them build confidence at the play gym or park — and even telling us when we should consider buying different toys, cups, etc. It’s one of the many things that I’ve loved about working her.

I can’t recommend her highly enough!

It is with both gratitude and sadness that I write this reference for our incredible nanny, who has been with our family for the past 2.5 years. She has been such a meaningful part of our lives, and it is only due to my recent job relocation to another state that we are parting ways.
From the very beginning, she brought warmth, reliability, and genuine care into our home. She consistently created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our children, always going above and beyond to support their growth and happiness. Her patience, attentiveness, and ability to connect with them on their level made a lasting impact not just on them, but on our entire family.
She always made sure the kids had meaningful interaction throughout the day by organizing playdates and taking them to classes, keeping them active, social, and engaged.
She is dependable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Whether it was managing daily routines, planning activities, or simply being a steady and comforting presence, she handled everything with professionalism and heart. I always felt completely at ease knowing my children were in her care.
Beyond her role as a caregiver, she truly became part of our family. Her kindness, positivity, and strong work ethic are qualities that any household would be lucky to have.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy, dedicated, and loving nanny. She will be deeply missed, and any family would be fortunate to have her.
Please feel free to reach out at 929-232-4297 if you have any questions.

Tenzin has been with our family for 16 years. She started working for us when our daughter was a month old.
She cared for our daughter and the next 4 baby cousins born. At one time Tenzin was watching kids aged 8,6,4,3,1 years of age!!!
Our kids all love her.
She is Tibetan so she has a very calm and kind way about her.
Anyone who gets Tenzin to care for their children will be very lucky.

Lisa was with my family for 16 years from when my daughter was 2 months old until my son was in 4th grade. She was referred to me by my baby nurse who had worked with her at a previous job. She is fantastic with newborns, babies and toddlers. She spoke to my babies constantly (they spoke early), she taught them to eat solids and potty trained them. Lisa is patient and creates routines and consistency. She will do their laundry, clean up after the kids and cook for them as needed. She is very reliable and flexible, which was very helpful when I was a busy working mom with lots of travel. She became part of our family and we highly recommend her.

Ana is a nanny with 20+ years of experience with girls and boys. She worked as a nanny for my family for three years . When she began my son was two months old. Ana was completely engaged with our son from the moment she walked through our door. She was always talking to him, reading, singing and playing. She was constantly on the floor with him and actively played with him at the park. Ana is a devoted nanny.

She helped him with the food transitions , sleeping training, potty training.She is a natural teacher and instilled a love for learning in my son.

Ana is very responsible, respectful, punctual and reliable. CPR AED, Baby Nurse, Fully vaccinated, Ana doesn’t have. attachments .Available to travel and stay late.

Ana is honest and completely trustworthy. There is no one else (besides my husband) who I so fully trust with my baby. She has a wonderful attitude and remained consistently patient and cheerful.

Ana is one-in-a-million. Ana made me feel like she loved my son as much as I do. Ana is an intelligent person and a natural teacher. She was always challenging our son and working on develop different milestones.Also kept our apartment tidy.

Blanca has been such an important part of our family and has cared for our child with so much kindness, patience, thoughtfulness, and genuine love.

She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and trustworthy, but beyond that, she brings such warmth and fun into every day. She is engaging, playful, and truly connects with children in a special way. Our child absolutely adores her, and as parents, we always felt completely at ease knowing our little one was with her. She also loves taking our child on adventures around the UWS, whether it’s exploring parks, visiting museums, or enjoying other fun local activities that kept our little one engaged, curious, and happy.

Any family would be so lucky to have her. We are deeply grateful for everything she has done for us and wholeheartedly recommend her for her next role!

Kerrian has been with us for 2 years and is such a gem. When she first started our daughter was 5 months old and Kerrian helped us get her on a schedule. She also helped us start solids and was a priceless resource when navigating schedule changes. She organized play dates, helped me brainstorm classes, came up with countless activities for our daughter and was so kind and patient with her. I’m so sad that our family is moving and we have to part ways, but excited for another family to experience Kerrian’s magic!

Natasha has been the nanny for our three children, but spending more of her time caring for our son over the past year, starting when he was 9 months old. She is incredible patient and loving with him, taking him outside to parks morning and evening to meet his friends.

Natasha prepares all of his food and snacks, and picks up my older children from school, taking them to the park, ensuring their home work is done. At home she also helps keep our apartment tidy (which is no small feat for a family of 5) and helps me with the kids laundry. She is also flexible to come early and stay late when I need her to.

We really want to help her find her next family!

Our beloved former nanny of nine years, Anita O’Reilly, is looking for full-time employment. Anita was hard working, conscientious, affectionate, and a true partner in raising our children. She managed both kids’ school and activity schedules, and she easily handled both children at home, out at playgrounds, at indoor facilities when the weather is bad, and getting to and from all of these places. She was always punctual and is a reliable employee. Most of all, it was a blessing to be able to leave the house every morning knowing that our children would be with someone who will treat them as her own children. My son said all the time that he wanted Anita to stay at our house and spend the night; he thought of her as part of the family and couldn’t understand why she had to go somewhere else once I got home each day. He even coined the term “mommynita” to refer to the two of us. When my husband arrived home before I did, he always commented to me later that evening how happy he was with the way Anita interacted with the kids. Both sets of grandparents made similar comments, as did our neighbors.

I am happy to speak by phone with anyone who is considering hiring Anita to care for their child or children. We want to do whatever we can to help her find a new family to work for! She can be reached at (917) 405-9842.

Latoya worked for me for two consecutive weeks as a full-time (24/7) newborn care specialist / baby nurse when we brought home my third baby in January 2026. Latoya met us at home on the day we came home from the hospital and integrated into our household quickly and easily. From conversations we had before she arrived, Latoya understood that it was very important to me to introduce my two older kids to their baby sibling while also limiting physical proximity due to my worry about exposing my newborn to daycare germs that the big kids might be bringing home. Latoya was great about hearing my goals and concerns and translating them into how she handled care for my baby and older kids too. She functioned as my partner, offering suggestions when I asked for them and lending an ear when I needed to talk something out. She was the primary caregiver for the baby, stepping in good-naturedly to handle every bottle and diaper change and fussiness, day or night. At a time when I worried about the monumental changes in my older kids’ lives, I loved how they thought Latoya was so much fun to have around! Thanks to Latoya, I was able to focus on my post-partum recovery and slept soundly knowing Latoya was taking care of the baby.

Wilma is an incredibly kind, caring, and proactive nanny that we are recommending without reservation. We are so sorry to be losing Wilma with our family’s move away from the city but know that any family would be lucky to have her. Wilma has been with our family for 3.5 years, as the full-time nanny for our now 6 and 3.5 year olds. Wilma is well-respected amongst her fellow nannies and other parents in the community, which has helped her organize exciting excursions for our children, including multiple trips with fellow nannies up to the Bronx Zoo. Wilma brings the city to the doorstep for our children. Whether for a family with a newborn or a family with older and more active children, we are confident Wilma will be an incredible resource and partner in family life.

Raissatou is very professional , polite, she is always punctual, reliable and very caring with my kids.

Sangay is truly a wonderful person and nanny. She has been with my family for over 3 years, and she has taken care of both of my boys since they were newborn babies. She is kind, calm, nurturing, and a joy to be around. Sangay takes care of all of our children’s needs from laundry and cooking healthy meals to setting up playdates and activities. She is incredibly trustworthy. I am devastated she isn’t able to move with us when we leave the city.

Due to changes in our childcare needs, our amazing nanny is looking to join a new full time family. We adore Melissa. She has helped our daughter flourish into a happy and resilient child over the past years. Melissa takes remarkable initiative in arranging playdates with children our daughter meets in classes, at the playground, school, or even through her own extensive network. These social interactions, carefully supervised by Melissa, have been instrumental in developing our daughter’s confidence and interpersonal abilities. I cannot overstate the positive impact Melissa’s care has had on our daughter’s development. She is incredibly creative in furthering our daughter’s learning through arts and crafts, physical activities, fine motor skills development, museum visits, songs, number/letter recognition, imaginative play, and more. She regularly identifies activities, classes and educational opportunities that align with our daughter’s interests. While we’re sad that our daughter is getting older and our childcare needs are changing, we know another family will benefit tremendously from Melissa’s love, guidance, and exceptional caregiving, just as we have.

Melissa can be contacted at sthilairemelissa5@gmail.comor 929-728-7455. I can be reached at Claire.doucette@gmail.comor 860-490-8927.
