Elizabeth is kind, attentive, patient and calm. She’s very creative and does a lot of fun arts and crafts activities with the kids. She also engages the children with reading, playing games, doing puzzles and building Legos. She arranges playdates, does the laundry for the children, cleans and organizes their room and toys, brings them to their activities and prepares lunch and snacks. She has good judgement, and the children are always safe and well taken care of with her. While they are out, she sends pictures and updates to keep us informed. Elizabeth has been with us part-time for about two years, and our children are now five and seven and will both be in elementary school next year, so our needs have changed.

My family lives in Park Slope. Florence was our nanny for the first two and a half years of our son’s life, and I don’t know what we would have done without her. Everything with our little one was taken care of. She did his laundry, cooked his meals, kept his room spotless, read books, and sang to him constantly. She was incredibly verbal with him, and we believe this helped develop his advanced language skills. Every single day, she had an adventure planned. They’d go tot he park, playground, museums, all over. Florence is reliable and loves children. Our little guy is in school now, and Florence would like a full-time nannying position. She is truly passionate about childcare, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Our nanny Yolande was a vital part of our family for several years, and we were sad to part ways when our family needs changed. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated nanny. Yolande has over 15 years of experience and provided exceptional care for our two children from the time they were newborns. Her warmth, devotion, and protectiveness of our children made her an essential part of their early development. Yolande is an incredibly patient caregiver, and she never gets flustered in the face of tantrums or meltdowns. Her calm and nurturing demeanor guided our children through difficult moments with understanding and care. Yolande also played a crucial role in helping our children develop social skills. She took them to the playground and playdates regularly, encouraging them to interact with other children and make friends. She is loyal and committed and often went above and beyond in her role. Even during challenging times, such as when our family contracted covid, Yolande did not hesitate to continue caring for the children and maintain their routine as much as possible. In addition to her excellent caregiving, Yolande is incredibly tidy and organized. She diligently carried out all her duties, never leaving for the day before completing all her responsibilities. She respected all of our parenting preferences, such as no screen time and no sweets, and ensured our rules were followed consistently. Yolande’s love for our children, her commitment to her work, and her ability to create a warm, calm environment make her an extraordinary caregiver. We are incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives.

Our amazing former nanny, Norma, is available and looking for her next family. She has worked as a nanny all her life. She is extremely reliable, punctual, very loving, patient, kind and nurturing. She never took days off without advance notice and was always willing to even work on the weekends If we needed her, provided she didn’t have any prior engagements. She was with us for 1 year, she took care of my daughter since she was 15 months old. She is always thinking ahead and has everything already ready for you when you need it. She helped tremendously not only with caring for my daughter, but also with housekeeping, laundry and much more, without us even having to ask. She intuitively understood what was necessary to keep our household running whether it be prepping meals for my daughter, or her milk bottles, packing a bag for an upcoming trip or taking out the garbage before we left. She always knew what was necessary. After I had my second daughter she always made sure that I had enough rest and much needed one on one time with the baby by taking my older daughter out on the swings or for a walk. She also got together with other nannies in the neighborhood to arrange play dates for her. I know when my kids are with her, they are safe and happy. She also made sure that my daughter was always learning by reading to her everyday. Thanks to her my daughter at the age of 28 months already knew her ABCs, could count to 1 to 20 and knows all the colors.
Anyone would be lucky to have such a loyal nanny join their family.
She’s willing to work as a live in or live out nanny and is available immediately.
DM me if you would like more information about her.

Parent Reference
I am pleased to write this letter in strong support of Dianne Gopee for a nanny position. What began as a chance encounter at a playground grew into our most valued working relationship for our family. Starting out with our two young children, Dianne had to multitask and manage difficult situations ranging from child sickness to varying school schedules, all which she handled with skill and grace.
As our children got older, Dianne’s role evolved and developed into what could be described as a House Manager. The kids’ schedules became more complicated with sports, school and tutoring and Dianne took on more responsibility with food shopping, cooking and cleaning and continued to demonstrate immense reliability and strong work ethic.
I have witnessed firsthand Dianne’s dedication and professionalism. Others have too, frequently other families would approach her to work for them and lamented the fact that they could not find someone who measured up to Dianne’s caring, kindness and enthusiasm.
Dianne has consistently demonstrated quick problem-solving and attention to detail. Regardless of the situation her thoughtfulness and personable nature puts everyone around her at ease. I have no doubt that Dianne will contribute greatly to the any family, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything further.

Norissa was with us for a few years and during that time was an exceptional caregiver and a great addition to our family. With her experience and knowledge working with various age groups, she assisted us during major transitions and milestones such as ( introducing solids, potty training, sleep regression and the mandatory grumpy two’s. She was great with the kids, cared for them, played with them, took them to activities and worked alongside us to help create routines. I always felt confident leaving them in her care. She independently fostered a learning environment for our kids that was consistent and progressed as they got older. From teaching numbers, colors and shapes. Creating arts & crafts projects to sorting shapes and sight words as they got older. We've had a great relationship while she was with us. She was always reliable, punctual , resourceful and receptive. Always working with us to find as many solutions as possible. She’s a professional. She’s well versed on the nuances that this job entails and navigates them well. I can list numerous examples of how she's been a gem to our family but the space wouldn't be enough. I would rather highlight her knowledge of children development, her years of experience, her loving disposition towards her work. She quite simply loves and enjoys what she does and it’s reflected in her work. Her contributions towards our family has been wonderful and I believe she'll make a valuable addition to any family.
I couldn’t recommend her enough. Please feel free to reach out to her at 914-661-0631

Kathleen worked with us for 15 years, starting when our twin boys were 10 days old. Kathleen is a warm, caring, and patient person who has a positive outlook on life. She is extremely reliable. When our twins were born my husband and I both worked full-time, and our goal was to find a loving and capable person to care for our newborns during the day, who had a flexible schedule so could stay late when needed, and simply, whom we liked. We wanted a caregiver who was experienced yet flexible enough to “do it our way”. We struck gold with Kathleen. She was wonderful with our children, and they still adore her. Kathleen was terrific about getting the boys out and about – to the playgrounds, to the park, to weekly trips to the Natural History Museum as well as to more structured classes like music, sports, and eventually preschool. Her focus was on the kids – not her cell phone or the TV, and our boys were happy and thrived under her care. It was a comfort to my husband and me to know that our children were spending their days with someone who was keeping them safe and active, and bringing them joy. I’m a natural worrier and I feel very fortunate to have found a caregiver that I trust completely - I never worried about the boys while working, which allowed me to focus and excel.
We moved from Manhattan to Westchester at the start of elementary school, and Kathleen made the transition seamlessly (even with a longer commute). She befriended the other caregivers, moms, and dads, so the boys had plenty of after-school playdates. She made sure the boys did their homework, read books, and took baths. As the boys grew up and became more independent, we shifted Kathleen’s responsibilities to include more cooking, housework, dog care and housesitting, which worked out very well. Our boys are now in high school and I have stopped working, so we’re helping her find a position with another loving family.
I wish I had kept track of the number of people who have stopped me to say how wonderful Kathleen is. She’s a special person for sure, and I highly recommend her as a trusted, caring, reliable caregiver.

Our beloved nanny, Denise Mitchell, worked with us for over two years, beginning when our daughter was five months old. She provided loving care for our daughter during the time she worked with our family, and cared for both our two and a half year old daughter and our six month old son. We moved out of state sooner than expected, and our beloved Denise is looking for a new family to care for. Denise is looking for a full-time position and is available to start ASAP. She is also available to work on weekends.
Denise has been an incredible asset to our family, caring for our two children with endless love, patience, and care. Her dedication to their well-being, development, and happiness has been truly outstanding. Denise has many years of caregiving experience, including caring for families with multiple children and twins. Her 20+ years of experience give her incredible knowledge of childcare techniques, classes and schools, and playgrounds around the city. When working with us, Denise easily handled the regular responsibilities of caregiving for two and also went above and beyond what we asked of her. She resourcefully found activities for our daughter both at home and in our neighborhood, arranged regular playdates and surprised our children with developmental toys, games and books appropriate for each step of their learning. She was directly responsible for helping our daughter and son make numerous friends who became daily and weekly play dates and for recommending a school in the area. Denise also easily handled responsibilities such as cleaning our daughter's room, our son’s crib and common areas and cooking healthy meals (from introducing solids to our son to preparing and packing a healthy lunch for our daughter for school). She established routines for our children for feeding, nap time and bedtime and guided us through each developmental milestone. Denise is incredibly attentive, and we always felt completely at ease entrusting our children to Denise's care. We’ve also referred her to visiting friends and family in the city, who have echoed our glowing comments. Many parents and teachers told us unprompted how sweet and caring Denise was toward our daughter. Any family in NYC would be fortunate to have her as a caregiver!
Please let us know if you or someone you know is looking for a wonderful, trustworthy nanny. We are happy to connect her with you and serve as a reference on her behalf. Her previous employer remains in touch and would be happy to serve as another reference.

We are heartbroken (and incredibly grateful) to be writing this on behalf of our beloved nanny, Mayra, who is now looking for a new full-time position in New York City after being with our family for over 10 wonderful years.

From singing songs and imaginative play to helping with schoolwork and setting up playdates, she has been a constant, loving presence in our children’s lives.
In addition to her wonderful childcare, Mayra truly does it all:

Handles school drop-off/pick-up, appointments, and errands
Is extremely flexible with hours — a lifesaver for us as two working doctors with unpredictable schedules
Speaks both English and Spanish, and has helped teach our children Spanish in a natural, joyful way
Over the years, neighbors and other parents have often commented on how incredible she is with our children—it's obvious to anyone watching how much she loves and respects them.
Mayra is now looking for a full-time position with a loving family in the city. We cannot recommend her highly enough — she has been an absolute gift to our family.

Parent Reference
Evelyne is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to our family, aside from our beautiful daughter that she cares for. She met our daughter Jules when she was four months old, and has given the most thoughtful and loving care to her for over two years. Our family is moving to Maine, otherwise we would sincerely never part with Evelyne! From the moment we met her, the confidence in her abilities and loving care with children was so evident we stopped looking. Add that she is a kind and respectful human, and it was an easy choice for us because that’s someone we want our daughter to learn from.
Evelyne has a plan for every day with Jules, whether she was six months old or 2 1/2 years old... They’re always singing, reading, laughing, doing art, building, or playing. They made French toast together this morning for breakfast! Even when Jules was a baby, you could hear Evelyne talking to her, singing songs and reading. They will go outside every day rain or shine and will take on any adventure at the park, playground, zoo, library, botanical garden, you name it. Evelyne would independently find different activities, classes, and friends and ask if we’d be interested in having Jules participate (always yes!) or if it was ok to have a playdate over. She spends time teaching Jules letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc on top of everything else and it has been such a fun surprise to see how much she has learned at her age! Evelyne goes above and beyond in caregiving because she cares as much as we do in doing an amazing job raising a child. We also have two cats, and one makes sure to always hang out around Jules and Evelyne for gentle pets when they’re around. Even they feel the magic from her!
Evelyne teaches kindness and respect to Jules, and also follows that herself. She is early every single day, communicates to align how we want to navigate parenting situations (feeding, potty training, taming a toddler...), and genuinely makes life with a baby/toddler/kid easier and better. My husband and I both depend on her for so much more than just being a nanny.
She has so much experience with children (including two of her own in college!) and it is clear that she loves being a nanny and she takes more pride in her work than anyone I know. Evelyne is such a sense of calm in our house, especially as new parents trying to figure everything out.
Evelyne will be a part of our family forever, and we are so incredibly blessed by how she has helped shape and teach Jules and us. A very lucky family will get to experience this for themselves and recomending her is one of the easiest parts of our transition.

Our lovely nanny, Afyia, is looking for another family starting in June. We did a nanny-share with another family, and she has been with us since our babies were ~3 months. Time flies, so our babies are headed to playschool. Afyia came to us with over 10 years' experience, which is 100% what we needed as first-time parents – a nanny with solid professional experience caring for more than one child. We were amazed that she was able to get both of our babies on a consistent nap schedule immediately, so they’re great sleepers. She has a gentle, sweet, calming energy that our baby could feel from the first time they met. He started crying and the moment Afyia picked him up, he stopped crying right away, and she continues to bring that quiet, calming presence to our home.
Even now that our little guy is full of non-stop toddler energy and no-no-no, she is so good with him. She taught him to say, "please"!! (sometimes). These days, she reads him books, plays with him, and takes him out to the library and to the many parks in our area every day. Bonus: She is highly professional, extremely reliable and has never once been late in all the months she’s been with us. If you're a working parent, you'll understand how very important this is. She had great guidance to help us with every developmental milestone.

Our amazing nanny Marie will be available starting 8/4 for a full-time position in Manhattan. (Can probably negotiate a July start, if needed!)
We would’ve loved to keep her forever, but my son is starting a program this summer, and we don’t have a second child for her to watch yet.
Marie has been with us since September 2023 when my son was 3 months old, and he’s turning 2 next month. She was so integral in his development as an infant, helping him hit milestones and form routines, and has continued to be so helpful with him as a wild toddler! My son absolutely adores her, and I can see how much she truly cares for him too.
She’s looking for a family in Manhattan with just 1 infant (under 12 months) so she can give them her undivided attention and grow with them.
Marie is super reliable and trustworthy, and she has the patience of a saint! She’s extremely warm and caring, and I never felt anxious when my son was with her, even early on.
She loves to be outdoors and take him to classes, the park, the playground, and playdates.
Marie has been the most wonderful addition to our family, and I can’t believe how much my son has grown in her care. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their baby.

If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your children as if they were her own, look no further. My nanny, Dianne, was a part of our family for 16 years (from when I was 6 weeks old to 16 years old), and not just helping to raise me, but truly shaping who I am today. She has been a constant source of love, comfort, structure, and joy from my earliest memories through adulthood.
She lived with us full-time and did everything—from preparing meals and organizing schedules, to school drop-offs, bedtime routines, and everything in between. But more than that, she was a calming, steady presence. She taught values, and celebrated every milestone with unmatched devotion and heart.
Her instincts with children are extraordinary. She’s kind, nurturing, always calm, and endlessly patient. She made our home a safe, happy, and loving place. It’s impossible to put into words just how much she means to us, but I can say without hesitation that she is the best decision our family ever made.
If you’re looking for someone who will become a true member of your family this is the woman you want in your home. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her for so long—and we hope another lucky family gets the same gift we had.
Please reach out with any questions—I would be honored to tell you more about her.

Hi Mamas! Our wonderful nanny Yvonne Brissett, is looking for her next family. Yvonne was a true partner to my husband and I in raising our little boy. She made it possible for my husband and I to balance our demanding careers with our responsibilities as parents— and gave us the peace of mind that our child was safe and well taken care of.
Yvonne is special—and we figured that out quickly. She made our son her #1 priority and became completely tuned in to his needs. I loved to watch the way Yvonne interacted and engaged with him. She motivated him to reach milestones, figure things out on his own, challenge himself. She laughed and celebrated with him. It was clear they had so much fun together. Besides being excellent as a caretaker for our son, Yvonne is a joy to be around and work with. She’s energetic and funny. Yvonne travelled with us frequently and was a welcome companion to our son but also to my husband and me. She also watched our son in New York when my husband and I travelled together solo.
Here are some additional basics:
Yvonne has over 20 years experience as a career nanny. I'll also mention that before she was a nanny she worked in the hospitality industry for many years. Not only are her caregiving skills unrivaled, but she's also communicative and professional.
Yvonne is punctual, consistent, and reliable. This was a priority for my husband, we both work stressful jobs with long hours. Yvonne never disappointed.
Yvonne is flexible. There were many evenings where we needed her to stay late on very short notice and it was never an issue.
Yvonne took care of all household tasks that involved our baby—and then some. She did ALL of the dishes, include those my husband and I used for breakfast and coffee. She cleaned and swiffered the main areas of the apartment. She did ALL of Lewis’ grocery shopping. She stayed on top of shopping lists from target and amazon, reminding my husband and I when we needed to replenish diapers, wipes, etc.
Yvonne is educated on milestones and development and would suggest toys and baby items that we should buy to help our son along. She talked to him constantly, and not babbling baby talk. Real, human conversations that helped him learn how to communicate with words at an early stage. She read to him frequently, asking him questions about the book along the way. Our son is smart, curious, and independent and Yvonne embraced and encouraged this in him from the very beginning.
Yvonne took it upon herself to get to know and be friendly with the other people in our life — our longtime housekeeper, doormen, and porters for example. She communicated frequently with ’grandparents, FaceTiming them and sending photos when my husband and I were at work.
Yvonne is looking for her long term family. Please feel free to reach out to Yvonne directly. Additionally, I am happy to answer any questions or chat further about our experience working with Yvonne!

Sil is wonderful caretaker and a collaborative partner to us in providing care for our daughter.
Sil is great with newborns and is a terrific source of support in those early hectic days. Sil joined us in November 2020, in the height of the Covid pandemic. At that time, our daughter, who was born prematurely, was still quite small and vulnerable. Sil diligently followed the detailed schedule of every 2 hour feedings, giving supplements, thawing breast milk, giving baths, and putting down for naps. She was a loving presence; she talked, sang, gave massages, cuddled and rocked. As I returned to full time work, she helped with everything from making sure I stayed hydrated and washing pumping equipment.
Sil is active and hands-on. She is extremely creative, and loves to work on art and crafts, do puzzles, and tell stories. And she is great about about finding activities and making connections. She makes walks to the supermarket, pharmacy, or the neighborhood chickens into fun learning opportunities. She developed a relationship with the child librarian who kept her abreast of all the activities. As a result, our daughter was a regular participant in everything, from storytime to kid yoga.
Sil is patient, kind, and accommodating, implementing a wide variety of strategies to help our daughter feel comfortable and take part in her activities. Together, they have successfully navigated art, ballet, gymnastics, and birthday parties.
As we prepare for full-time school in the next few months, thinking about saying goodbye to Sil is bittersweet; we’ll miss having her around every day, but she has been instrumental in us getting to this point.

It is with immense pleasure and a touch of sadness that we have to put up a post for Maria Rosa (Rosa) as a nanny. Rosa has been an integral part of our family for nearly 13 years, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives. Rosa is a truly exceptional individual – reliable, loving, and incredibly caring. She began working with us when our daughter was just over a month old, and her impact has been immeasurable. Rosa is bilingual in Spanish and English, and thanks to her, our daughter has learned Spanish. Throughout her time with us, Rosa has consistently demonstrated her dedication and warmth. She loves our daughter as if she were her own child, and this genuine affection has created a beautiful bond between them. As a first-time mom, I found Rosa to be an invaluable source of support and guidance. She was instrumental in helping us potty train our daughter and navigated many of those early childhood milestones with grace and expertise. Rosa is not only wonderful with children but also a fantastic household helper. She consistently prepared healthy and delicious meals for our daughter and was always willing to lend a hand with additional chores when needed, which was a tremendous help. She actively engaged our daughter in various activities, taking her to the library, arranging playdates, and transporting her to classes, all of which contributed significantly to her development and happiness. The only reason Rosa is seeking a new position is that our daughter is now in middle school, and sadly, our full-time nanny needs have changed. It is a bittersweet transition for our family, as Rosa has become so much more than just a nanny to us. We cannot recommend Rosa highly enough. She is a nurturing, responsible, and dedicated caregiver who will undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to any family.
Rosa has been certified for CPR for infant and child.

The best nanny in Brooklyn will be available at the end of June! Sharon has taken care of our son since he was six months old. From the moment they met, Sharon has been caring, kind, and patient. She has a special talent with babies, including preemies like our son, and has a special knack for discerning their needs. Sharon is incredibly patient, but is also firm when necessary - just the right mix for working with a growing toddler. Our son loves "Sha" and lights up when he sees her every morning!
Sharon is a natural teacher, devoting part of every morning to "baby school" with books, pictures, songs, and drawings to help with developmental skills. Sharon is also skilled at finding opportunities for play and education in the neighborhood. She has a network of local friends and can always be counted on to find enriching activities like story hours, music classes, and play dates.
Sharon brings vast experience to the job, having worked with children of all ages for many years, and has many glowing references, including my own, to show for it. Perhaps the most important thing I can say about Sharon is that she inspires a deep sense of trust. I have always felt confident and happy to leave my child in her care, knowing that she will care for him as if he were a member of her own family.
Sharon would prefer to stay in the Park Slope/Kensington/Windsor Terrace/Lefferts Gardens area if possible but is open to other Brooklyn neighborhoods if it feels like the right fit. If you are interested in a truly outstanding nanny, do not hesitate to reach out!

Ayanna has previously worked with my family, and currently works with us every other weekend. When Ayanna worked with my baby girl at just 1 month old, and stopped when our little one was going in to kindergarten. she was amazing. She established a routine for our daughter, read to her, and took her outside when necessary. Ayanna brought so much knowledge to our family, and it felt great to have someone who could provide us with all the information we needed. She is also very reliable, and it's reassuring to know we can count on her to get the job done. Ayanna has played an instrumental role in shaping our baby's personality, and we will always be grateful for her help in taking care of our child. She has taken away many small problems from us, and has even gone above and beyond by cleaning and tidying up the house when we were too tired or overwhelmed to do it ourselves. Althought this is not in her job description she still helps out. What drew us to Ayanna was her extensive experience and excellent references. As first-time parents, we were a bit nervous, but after speaking with her references and hearing about her years of experience, we were reassured. We genuinely appreciate everything Ayanna has done and continues to do for our family. We wish we could keep her with us forever.
To summarize, Ayanna has consistently been reliable and dedicated to taking care of our daughter. She is currently working with twins who will soon be transitioning to school and is searching for a new family to work with as soon as possible. We highly recommend her, and if you would like to get in touch with her, she is available by phone or text.To sum up, Ayanna has been unfailingly dependable and committed to our daughter.

It is with the deepest gratitude and utmost enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for Monica, who has been an extraordinary caregiver to our two children over the past two years. She came to us with over 25 years of experience, a background in child education, and extremely solid references.
Monica joined our family when our eldest was just two years old and our youngest was a newborn. From day one, she brought warmth, capability, and an intuitive sense of what our children needed—not only in terms of care but in nurturing their growth and happiness. Over the course of her time with us, Monica has cared for each of our children through different stages of early childhood, and her adaptability, commitment, and skill have been nothing short of remarkable.
She is endlessly patient, deeply affectionate, and fully engaged with the children every moment she is with them. Monica has a natural gift for imaginative play, which our children absolutely adore, and a genuine passion for helping them learn about the world around them. Whether through creative crafts (which she somehow turned into a favorite quiet-time activity), thoughtful conversations, or curiosity-led outings, she has played a huge role in our kids’ development—emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
One of Monica’s many lasting contributions to our family has been her unwavering support of our goal to raise bilingual children. Although we are a bilingual household, we could not have achieved true bilingualism without her. Monica consistently speaks to the kids in Spanish, reinforces their vocabulary and grammar through play and conversation, and has helped normalize using both languages interchangeably. Thanks to her support, our children are now equally fluent in both English and Spanish—a gift that will stay with them for life.
Monica treats our children like her own. She has celebrated their birthdays with them, brought them thoughtful holiday gifts, and has always shown up—not just physically, but emotionally. Her attentiveness to their well-being extends to every aspect of care, from sleep to nutrition, and she worked closely with us to establish lasting routines and habits that have made a meaningful difference in our home.
Beyond the daily care, Monica has also had an incredible impact on our family’s broader life. Despite not knowing anyone in our neighborhood when she began, she quickly built a wonderful network of local nannies, arranged playdates, and created a social community that included us as well. She is that rare person who makes everything better—more joyful, more connected, more manageable.
She is also incredibly dependable. Always on time (usually early), unfailingly flexible, and constantly going above and beyond—whether staying late, organizing the kids’ toys and clothes, or tidying our home better than we ever could ourselves. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she never stops moving; even during naptime, we often had to insist she take a break.
Our youngest is now starting daycare, and though we wish we could keep Monica with us forever, we are eager to help her find a new family who will appreciate her as much as we do. Any household would be incredibly lucky to have her. She is, without question, the most amazing caregiver we’ve ever met.
Monica is looking for full-time positions, live-out only. Preferably in Manhattan. Her ideal start date would be July 1.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to speak further about Monica. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Sharda has been an incredible member of our family who has brought order, caring, reliability, and kindness to our family for over 5 years. When we first hired her, we just had our third child and were looking for a full-time nanny with experience who would be willing to help in whatever way was needed. From the moment she started, she provided the critical help to get the kids ready for school, finish breakfast, wash dishes, and bring one or multiple kids to their schools on time. We look forward to her arrival in the morning each day, as we know that it will help us all get out the door and to start our day after she arrives. Sharda has also proved herself to be the most helpful nanny we've ever had in many other ways. Without really having been asked, she keeps our house in order with cleaning up before we get home from work. She cooks delicious meals for the kids, leaving even some food for the grown ups. She does the shopping for food, household supplies, and other necessities with kids. She has even taken on cleaning projects (kids closets that had gone unorganized for years, etc) that were extremely helpful. Sharda has also been beyond reliable as a nanny as well - we can absolutely count on her being here for us, day in and day out, over the last five years. Sharda is very experienced working with kids of different ages. She started with us when our daughter was less than a year old, and was fantastic with our baby. But over the years we've seen her show her ability to connect and work with our two older boys as well. She is always arranging play dates with kids at our daughter's school, taking her to the park, and also engaging the older kids as well with play at home. She would be great to work with a growing family. Our daughter is now in school full time, and we would love to keep her with our family. But she needs a nanny position that is full time. We would be happy to talk more to any family lucky enough to hire her for the next position.

She is a rare person in that she has 20 years of experience and 12 with twins.
Twin Nannys can do it all!
She was the right amount of firm and loving with my 4 year old twins and gentle and sweet with my infant. She is able to balance all 3 at once SAFELY - which is HUGE. It took me a long time to find someone who could really walk the walk and manage the chaos of a baby and two pre-k boys with confidence. She is a mom to an amazing adult daughter and has worked with children from 8 weeks to 9 years old.
My baby is flying through milestones and I attribute that to the works she does with him on walking and language development. He has was an early walker, knows some sign language, is very communicative and LOVES to read!
She drives and has a car. She lives in NJ and is open to New Jersey and Manhattan.
She handles all baby related home tasks and feeding.
Most importantly: I always new my kids were safe when they were with her. I cannot underscore how meaningful that was.
Charmaine is a real pro - you will not be sorry you hired her.

My name is Kelly, and I am a single mother to my 3-year-old son. I’m writing to wholeheartedly recommend Sherie, who has been our nanny for the past 2.5 years. The only reason we are parting ways is because we are moving out of state—otherwise, we would never let her go. (I tried to move her with us).
Sherie has been so much more than a nanny—she has been my partner in parenting. She is my son’s best friend and strongest advocate, and a constant, caring presence in our lives. Her dedication has helped shape Rome into the kind, curious, and confident little boy he is today. She’s taught him how to count, recognize letters, and use polite language.
One of the most remarkable things Sherie has done is build a social world around Rome. She’s created a close-knit group of friends for him, organizing daily playdates with a core group of children. This community she’s built has helped him thrive socially and emotionally, and it's something I’ll always be grateful for.
Sherie has never once been late, and she has always been flexible and willing to stay late when I’ve needed her. Her reliability and trust gave me peace of mind every single day. As a single mom, I truly don’t know what I’m going to do without her in our lives.
Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Sherie. She is responsible, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children she cares for. She has over 20 years experience and is a mother herself. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you'd like more details about our experience. She also has impeccable references beside myself.

Tanisha is wonderful and worked for us for 10 years until we moved to CA. She’s the best and has been a lifesaver the last decade. She is 45 yo and very energetic and not one to sit around. She started with us when my oldest was 3 months and was there when my 2nd came home from the hospital.
She’s very easy to work with, my kids love her, she’s trustworthy and dependable, flexible, often comes early or stays late depending on our needs, and handled everything for the kids since they were babies up until now when they’re 10 and 6. She was very good when they were babies, getting them on schedules, sleeping , eating etc. Always taking them out and playing with them. And as they’ve gotten older organizing playdates, going to activities, doing homework etc. Does laundry, straightens up after them, keeps the house very tidy.
She’s also good with taking feedback or adjusting to do things as you like, while at the same time she also has a lot of experience and has good suggestions of how to do things.
She’s easy to have in your house and private life - she has the right balance and keeps boundaries, while being easy to be around. She never calls in sick - maybe 5 times in 10 years.
We moved out of the city and the only thing my kids are heartbroken about is leaving her. I never worried about their safety or wellbeing when they were with her and knew they were being loved and cared for. She will make your life much easier and your kids will love her.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Gina as our nanny, and it’s hard to put into words just how rare of a find she is. Gina has been a constant source of support, care, and positivity in our home.
Gina has played a major role in our son’s early development, particularly in language and communication. Our pediatrician has commented our 2 year old speaks at the level of a 3+ year old, and we credit a lot of that to Gina. She has a natural gift for engaging with children in a way that is both fun and educational. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, we’ve seen tremendous growth in our son’s vocabulary and conversational skills. Gina also brings a great energy to daily activities, always coming up with fun and enriching games, crafts, and outings that keep our son happily engaged.
On top of that, she’s been instrumental in helping with potty training and reinforcing good manners in a gentle and effective way. Her calm, consistent, and encouraging style has made all the difference.
Gina is extremely reliable, punctual, and communicative. We’ve always felt 100% in the loop and at ease knowing our son is in her care. But perhaps the best endorsement of all is how much our son absolutely adores her—every morning when she arrives, he runs to the door to greet her with a huge hug and a “GOOD-MORNING GINA!”.
It is only because we are relocating out of the city that we have to part ways with Gina. She is available early July (although our start date can be somewhat flexible) and looking for a new full-time family (40–45 hours/week). Any family would be truly lucky to have her—she is a gem, and we cannot recommend her enough.

We’re heartbroken to be parting ways with our incredible nanny as our kids head off to school full-time. She has been such an important part of our family — responsible, reliable, endlessly kind, and with 20 years of experience!
She’s proactive and fully engaged with the kids — never on her phone, always present. She loves spending time outdoors with them, and when inside, she encourages educational play and creative activities. She’s incredibly flexible, low maintenance, and just a joy to have around.
She’s also warm and friendly — thanks to her, our toddler has met other wonderful children who’ve now become great friends. Her ability to connect and build community has been such a gift.
She’s looking for a full-time position in Manhattan and would be a perfect fit for a family with a small baby or one on the way. She’ll be available to start in July.
We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. Please reach out if you’re interested — happy to chat and share more!

I am writing to recommend Michelle as a nanny. During her tenure with our family from April 2023 to July 2024, she demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism in her role as a nanny to our two children (aged 3.5 and 19 months).
Michelle was always punctual and reliable, and consistently provided our son and daughter with a safe and nurturing environment. She exceeded our expectations with her nurturing and loving patience. Additionally, her ability to engage and entertain our children with age-appropriate activities was thoughtful and impressive.
One of the most notable attributes of Michelle is her consistency and trustworthiness. We felt confident that our children were in good hands while she was with them. Michelle was also able to take our children to classes, pre-school, and navigate through the city with ease. Additionally, Michelle always kept all areas pertaining to the children clean and tidy. We have no hesitation in recommending Michelle for any other nanny position. Also, in the event that you need a nanny to travel with you domestically or internationally, she is willing and able.
Please feel free to contact me for a verbal reference, I would be happy to speak more in-depth about Michelle's qualifications and experience.

Norissa was with us for a few years and during that time was an exceptional caregiver and a great addition to our family.
With her experience and knowledge working with various age groups, she assisted us during major transitions and milestones such as ( introducing solids, potty training, sleep regression and the mandatory grumpy two’s) . She was great with the kids, cared for them, played with them, took them to activities and worked alongside us to help create routines. I always felt confident leaving them in her care.
She independently fostered a learning environment for our kids that was consistent and progressed as they got older. From teaching numbers, colors and shapes. Creating arts & crafts projects to sorting shapes and sight words as they got older.
We've had a great relationship while she was with us. She was always reliable, punctual , resourceful and receptive. Always working with us to find as many solutions as possible. She’s a professional. She’s well versed on the nuances that this job entails and navigates them well. I can list numerous examples of how she's been a gem to our family but the space wouldn't be enough.
I would rather highlight her knowledge of children development, her years of experience, her loving disposition towards her work. She quite simply loves and enjoys what she does and it’s reflected in her work. Her contributions towards our family has been wonderful and I believe she'll make a valuable addition to any family. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

She quickly learned the ins and outs of our neighborhood, always organizing fun outings for our son and building a community of age appropriate friends for him to socialize with.

Morley has been our incredible nanny for the last 3 years - since our now 3.5 year old was 6 months old and has also cared for our almost 2 year old since he was a newborn. She has truly become family to us. She has consistently been an incredibly warm, comforting presence for both us and our kids as my husband and I have both navigated very consuming careers, and often very hectic schedules (newborns/new jobs/house remodels, etc.!) etc! She is especially wonderful with babies/newborns
- she will hold/rock them for hours, persisted in working on sleep training with us, would sing/dance and actively play with them and was incredibly competent at navigating both our babies needs (both individually and as she watched them together). She is lively and fun (and funny even!) and beyond loving our kids she has consistently been a beloved nanny in our
playgrounds/community taking it upon herself to make friends with other neighbors/nanny's and their children, our local shop owners etc. that has provided us with an even larger, wonderful community.
Beyond that, Morley is incredibly
tidy/clean. We never asked her to clean as finding someone that would love and play with our children was always our priority but in the 3 years that we've worked with her, there has never been a day that the house wasn't cleaner than it was when we left it and she takes pride (joy even maybe) in having all the laundry done/folded/away and an absolutely spotless kitchen/play area. Morley speaks spanish, we've also had the unexpected joy of seeing our children learn how to fully understand/comprehend Spanish and speak it too! She has been unbelievably punctual and is often available, willing and eager to help out after our regularly scheduled hours with her and on the weekends. We will be very sad to see Morley go as we transition both of our children into more full time school/preschool opportunities but would love to help her find a new wonderful family to work with.

Loving and Professional Nanny available January- over 20 years experience
Can’t say enough good things about V - our family was with her since my older son was 3mo old through age 6! We were fortunate to keep her when we had a second boy, through age 3. V has been the rock of our family- so loving and steadfast - extremely reliable, provides amazing structure for the kids with activities and snack/ nap/ park/ bath routines! She is communicative, flexible, and so reliable and really is like family to us- hoping to help her find a great new situation. We’ve always done a share with another family- so she’s great with two and has experience with twins. She’s fully vaccinated, and wisely insists on being on the books. Would love to share more!

Patience has been working with our family since 2022. She is looking for a new full time position as our little ones are in school now. She started with our twins when they were 5 months old, got them on a coordinated sleep schedule, sleep trained, started solids, helped prepped food, did laundry (even cloth diapered with us!!!) helped potty train! She sings, reads, teaches, cares for them like her own. She is also a mother of two lovely children and obviously has a loving, caring and generous spirit. I’ve never seen her lose her cool or become flustered. Even with twin crying babies.
She got twins on a coordinated sleep schedule- which I wasn’t able to do!
She takes them to the library, park, on walks. She is amazing. She loves babies and new born care but is equally skilled with toddlers. I think she’d be amazing with preschool and school aged kids as well.
She cleans up after the kids (and sometimes after us too). She is extremely reliable, dependable, trustworthy. She is knowledgeable and kind. She consistently goes above and beyond is really flexible and has helped us out in a pinch with late care when work is too crazy unexpectedly.
Can’t say enough what a joy it’s been working with her. To top it off - we were first time parents returning to work and she really helped smooth the transition.

After 6 incredible years, I’m helping our amazing nanny Silvia find a new full-time position as our needs have changed with my daughter now in school full-time. She joined us when my daughter was just 6 months old and has been a steady, loving presence ever since (even through pandemic days) -- It's truly hard to imagine our days without her!
Silvia is a native Spanish speaker with a warm, joyful presence that children naturally gravitate toward. She’s been a lifesaver for me as a single mom – always dependable, proactive and engaged. She’s never distracted by her phone, always attentive and engaged fully with my daughter. She is creative and independent, often organizing fun playdates, enriching outings and thoughtfully adapting her care as my daughter grew from a baby to a curious toddler to a vibrant school-aged child. Silvia was always respectful of my parenting style, kept our home super tidy, and is a great cook who regularly prepared delicious, healthy meals.
Silvia would be an absolute gift to any family! Ideally she is looking for a full-time position Mon-Thu or Mon-Fri for a family in Manhattan. Please reach out to her directly if interested at 347-364-0325. I'd also be happy to speak personally to provide a glowing reference!

She only sought to help and support us as a family. She is extremely honest and trustworthy and I always knew my daughter would be safe and well taken care of in her presence. She is a hard worker and goes above and beyond. She took on many household chores without being asked to do so. She regularly did laundry, cooking, cleaning for my daughter and even sometimes for the household. She traveled with us a number of times domestically and it was always a positive experience. She is kind-hearted and caring and has truly become part of our family.

My family and I recently moved to CT. My nanny, Renalda started working for our family in December of 2021. I would very much like to help her find a great new family to work for and whoever gets her is going to be extremely lucky. She is only looking for 4 days a week nanny job. It’s hard to describe how flawlessly Renalda managed our household and cared for my son, William. My husband and I both work, and she was an incredibly reliable partner who arrived at work punctually every day for 4 years, never once taking so much as a sick day. She made friends with other neighborhood nannies and William always had many play dates, including with a boy who has come to be his best friend, a wonderful gift she gave us. One of Renalda’s many strengths is cooking. She is from the Philippines, and cooked the most incredible authentic healthy meals for William. Renalda did so much for William. Got him on a sleep and bottle schedule when she first started with us. William was only 5 months. Taught him his colors, letters, shapes, good manners, body parts and numbers. Renalda understands the importance of reading to children. My son has developed a strong passion for reading. She is extremely active and engaged in the child’s development. She is great at logistics and had William’s beautifully planned, as well as out to play every morning and every afternoon after his nap, rain or shine. Renalda is extremely dependable, caring, loving, warm and professional. She takes her job very seriously and has an amazing work ethic. I became pregnant with my second son, shortly after William and again when I returned to work, Renalda helped me. I eventually stopped working to be home full time and Renalda and I divided and conquered with the boys. Both of my children had an instant connection and love for Renalda. I would be happy to speak to speak to anyone more about her. I know she will get scooped up fast. Again, Renalda prefers to work 4 days a week only (35-50 hours). She prefers not to travel with the family which we really don’t need her to travel with us. Please feel free to call me at 717-951-0762 with any questions. You can also reach out directly to Renalda at 917-971-9308.

Shellie was nanny to our son, beginning when he was 8 month old up until he went to Pre K. We stay connected with her and she still cares for him for date nights and vacation days.
Shellie is one of those caregivers who really sees kids and centers them. Her level of focus and attention for our son was really special and unique. As a baby she was so attuned to his rhythms and what was needed to provide him with an excellent routine. She is not someone who is on her phone and checked out, she is 100% present with kids. She is a person with deep character and commitment to children.
As my son grew she suggested great classes, taking him to the park and arranging playdates with other children, and to the carousel and the zoo. She was brilliant through all the developmental leaps, helping enormously with potty training, learning and all the rest. She's a seasoned nanny which was great for us as first time parents.
In the 4-1/2 years she worked with us full time and subsequently, she has always been steady, reliable, never late, almost never unwell, (she is very attuned to her health). She is CPR trained.

Our previous nanny, Pem, is looking for her next family, starting ASAP.
She is truly one of the best care takers we have ever worked with. She has 23 years of experience and has worked with children from newborns to middle school. She is confident but not pushy and incredibly kind and funny. Her level of organization helped our household thrive.
We were very sad to part ways, but my work schedule changed and was no longer a good fit
I have never felt so supported as I have the past year having her as part of our family.
She is looking for Monday - Thursday (standard working hours).
She is truly a gem.

Miryam has been a blessing to our family and words alone could not describe how highly we recommend her. She started with us when my son was 8 months old and has lovingly cared for him for three and a half years, as well as my 14 month old daughter. She made the transition from one to two kids seamless for me and was such a rock for me as I navigated pregnancy and postpartum.
Miryam is an absolute professional, she is an expert when it comes to children at every stage of development (whether that’s solids/potty training/reading/speech) and I feel so confident with her care. My two kids adore her and she is always pleasure to have in our home coming from two parents who frequently work from home. Miryam has never shown my children a screen and has taught them so much - including Spanish.
Her commitment to the children is so admirable. She is constantly on the ground playing with them, running around with them in the park, organizing fun play dates and adventures to the zoo/aquarium/science museums/farms. I have also made some very close friends through Miryam’s connection with other families and my children have thrived with the exposure to other children.
I frequently receive compliments from other friends who remark at how patient, attentive, and fun Miryam is with my children.
Whoever is fortunate enough to have Miryam join their family will be extremely lucky.

We’re moving at the end of June and are so sad to be parting ways with our nanny, Jean, who has been with us since our first was born (he’s now 3, and our second is 1). She’s truly part of our family and has been a gift to us every step of the way.
Jean is looking for a full-time, live-out position starting mid-July or August, ideally with a newborn. She’s warm, smart, loving, and super intuitive—she just gets it. She’s a mom herself and brings so much experience and calm. She has our kids in a great routine, reads, sings, plays, and makes the day joyful and smooth.
We’re a kosher and observant household, and she’s been amazing—respectful, knowledgeable, and totally on top of everything. She helps around the house as needed and has been a real partner to me while I work from home.
She knows the UWS like the back of her hand—museums, parks, classes—and is great at connecting with other nannies and families. She speaks English fluently, is super organized and reliable, and has even traveled with us. We trust her completely and will miss her so much.

I’m writing to highly recommend our nanny Hazel for a part-time position with a new family. She has been a wonderful presence in our home and has cared for our two year old son with kindness, dedication, and so much love. Hazel joined our family when our son was three months old. As a first-time mom, I was very nervous about transitioning back to work and could not have done it without Hazel. From day one she has been attentive, collaborative, and deeply caring. Hazel treats our son as her own and her utmost concern is for our son's safety at all times.
Hazel has greatly excelled at engaging our son in developmentally appropriate play, music, and reading. Our son absolutely adores Hazel! She is a source of light, humor and joy as she cares for our son. Hazel has gone above and beyond to form connections with nannies in our building and neighborhood to create opportunities for daily playdates. She has been very helpful with finding sources of entertainment and education in our neighborhood. Additionally, Hazel aided with cooking and light housekeeping.
Lastly, I need to highlight Hazel's flexibility and her ability to work around our changing schedules. She has been a great help to us not only during the week, but also, on weekends and during family trips. Hazel's direct and open communication style aided our ability to all focus on our son's wellbeing as the top priority. We are so thankful to have had Hazel as part of our family and she will be dearly missed by us all.
I’m more than happy to answer any questions or share more about our experience with Hazel!

Adi has been working with us from when my son was three months. He is currently nine months old, and I have decided to take a break from my career as a lawyer for health reasons. The hardest part of that decision was knowing we would not be able to keep Adi.
Over the course of our time with Adi, we have gotten to know her as an exceptionally warm and caring person with a genuine love for children. I was fortunate to spend a significant amount of time with Adi and my son while I was on maternity leave, and when I went back to work I knew my son was in the very best of hands. He absolutely adores her and lights up the second he sees her in the morning. She takes him outside every day, rain or shine, exploring parks and and meeting up with other nannies and babies for play dates at nearby libraries. She prepares varied and healthy meals for him and has helped make the transition to solids an absolute breeze. She is gentle, playful and extremely attentive, always making sure my son is comfortable, safe and happy. She’s the kind of nanny you see on the playground and think “that’s what I want for my kid.”
From a practical perspective, Adi has also proved herself to be reliable, communicative, competent and resourceful. Interacting with her is always a pleasure and we are glad to have her in our home. She needs no direction but is happy to adapt to any preferences we have for our son’s schedule and routine. She has a solution for every problem and handles any situation with a positive attitude and a smile on her face.

Our amazing nanny Tsering is looking for full time work starting in the summer of 2025. She has been with us for the past 3 years, starting when our son was 5 months old. Tsering has been indispensable to us from day one – she is extremely knowledgeable of childhood development and has been an incredible partner in helping us as first-time parents navigating important milestones (transitioning to walking, transitioning to solid foods, potty training, etc). She and our son have a very special bond – she is patient and kind but firm in setting boundaries and expectations. She has boundless energy and is always engaging him in new and enriching activities – going to the park, play dates, singing and dancing, art projects, reading, sports, etc. She is very friendly and proactive – when we moved to Park Slope in November 2023, within a few weeks she had formed a new group of nannies and children and had figured out the best free activities in the neighborhood. She also does light housework (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, general tidying) without being asked, so I always come home to a house that is neater than when I left. We trust Tsering implicitly with all decisions relating to our child – we often seek her advice and consider her to be like a third parent. With our son starting school full-time in the fall we are very sad to be losing her but want to support her in her next adventure! She is a very special person and would be a great asset to any family. If you need any more information please let me know.

Our wonderful nanny, Cheryl, is looking for a part-time position. She has 20+ years of experience and excellent references.
Cheryl currently works with our family three days a week and is available on Wednesdays, Fridays, as well as for date nights or weekend help. She will also be available this summer while we’re away.
Cheryl is a deeply attentive and engaging caregiver who truly connects with children. She’s playful, talkative, and always finds opportunities to teach and nurture. Unlike many, she’s never on her phone — her full focus is always on the kids.
Cheryl has been with our family for three years, caring for our three children (now ages 1 to 6), and we couldn’t be happier. Under her care, we’ve watched them thrive, learn, and grow in so many ways.
She’s always eager to take them outside, prepares delicious meals, and leaves our home spotless. Cheryl is also incredibly punctual, reliable, and professional.
If you're interested, I’d be happy to chat and share more about our experience!

She started with us when our daughter was a newborn and then cared for our son as well when he was born 1 ½ years later. The only reason she is not still with us is because we moved away from NY. She is the kindest, most loving, caring person. She is reliable, responsible, flexible and independent. With her help we were able to establish a stable feeding, sleeping and activity schedule. She is very active with the kids, always takes them out to playdates, playground, classes, nature walks or plays with their toys and books. She is a very experienced nanny whom has worked with four long-term families. Savan will bring an abundance of experience, professionalism and love to her next family.

Marguerite has been a wonderful and reliable nanny for us, caring for our two children, now ages 4 and 2, and becoming a deeply trusted and beloved part of our family.
From day one, Marguerite brought warmth and structure into our home. She has a remarkable ability to connect with children on their level — always patient, kind, and fully engaged. Whether it was singing songs, reading stories, planning creative crafts, or simply sitting with them during quiet moments, she always met their needs with calm and compassion. She has skillfully supported both of our children through major developmental stages, always encouraging their independence while offering comfort and guidance. Her days were thoughtfully planned, and she kept both kids actively engaged, whether indoors or outside.
Without prompting, Marguerite uses any available time in the day to help clean the house and prepare meals for the children. Equally important, we always felt 100% secure knowing our children were in her care. She is responsible, proactive, and deeply trustworthy — qualities that made a world of difference to us as parents.
We are moving and It’s incredibly difficult to say goodbye to someone who has played such a meaningful role in our children’s early years, but we know that any family lucky enough to welcome Marguerite into their home will be gaining someone truly special.

**Amazing bilingual nanny (English / Spanish) available**
Hi, our wonderful nanny of 2.5 years, Josie, will be available at the end of April / early May! My oldest is in preschool and my younger one is getting into more drop off programs (and I have a flexible job) so we sadly just don’t need her like we used to.
She’s been with us since my daughter was 6 months old and since my son was born. They are now 3 and 1.5 (19 month age gap / 2 under 2, etc) and Josie has been amazing every step of the way!
Josie was a saving grace as a first time mom. She’s been a nanny in the city for many years and was able to provide so much wisdom, guidance and confidence during all of the first time mom chaos!! She got both kids on sleep schedules, is a pro at bottle feeding, starting solids, and has helped with every major milestone, including potty training! Josie knew all the best classes, parks, libraries, etc to take them to, and was always scheduling playdates and made so many friends for them! She threw them birthday parties and Christmas parties every year and I think they’re had more friends than I did 😂. My kids both speak English and Spanish thanks to her (something that was important to us). She also does all the kids laundry, cooks all their meals during the week (and even freezes extra for the weekends) and always leaves the house cleaner than I ever had. She is always early (waits downstairs) and has only called out sick a handful of times over the last 2.5 years.
We are sad to see her go and want to help her find a great next family to work with. She’s ideally looking for a family with a baby so she can grow with them (40 or more hrs/week). She’s worked all over the city and is open to the majority of Manhattan (She lives in Queens). She worked with us on both the UWS & UES and handled the move so well and got the kids acclimated so quickly!!
Any family will be lucky to have Josie. Please DM and I can give you her number as well as talk in more detail or answer any questions you have!
