Manhattan Nannies

Our nanny, Doma, is looking to work for a new family. She has been working with us for 4 years total during which time she took care of my daughter starting 3 months and then my son starting 3 months to 4 years. She is caring, loving, punctual, and responsible. During her time, she took care of my son’s meals, play schedule, school drop-offs and pick-ups for my daughter as well as their laundry, organization and light cleaning of the house. Most importantly, my kids loved playing with her due to her playful nature. She is also flexible and was always accommodative if we were running late from work or if we needed her to stay extra hours.

Another great quality of hers is that she is very patient with kids and naturally has a very calm demeanor even in most chaotic situations which I admired and valued greatly. I knew Doma was special when other mommies in the neighborhood shared with me how good she is. The only reason she stopped working for us is because my son started prek4 so we don’t need her full-time.

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 now cares for both our two and a half year old daughter and our six month old son. We are moving 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 in August. 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!

Laura is a fantastic caregiver who worked with our family of three kids for over 10 years and I recommend her without hesitation. She’s kind, reliable, smart and hard-working and has a great track record of getting good behavior from kids with warmth and redirection.

She started when our oldest was just two months old and stayed with us until our youngest was 4. During those years, I was always able to go to work outside the home with confidence and ease that my kids were well-cared for.

My favorite thing about Laura as a caregiver is the full attention she gives kids: all my children felt seen and loved in her presence. But she also did so many little things that made them feel special: cooking their favorite chicken dinner, teaching the littlest to ride a bike, doing puzzles after school, planning “special days” for school holidays, discovering cool playgrounds near their activities, supporting each kid’s hobby and always remembering birthdays.

As a boss I greatly appreciated that I never had to micromanage Laura because she knows how to care for children. I never had to ask for daily pictures of the kids, or a bath schedule, or for playdates or for daily outdoor time, because Laura did those things automatically. I regularly came home to a clean house and calm kids. I also enjoyed talking to Laura because she’s smart and observant. I think any family would be lucky to have Laura in their lives and my kids miss her tremendously now that they’re in school full-time.

Marguerite worked for me for 16 years until 2022. She worked for two other families since that time who loved her but had newborns/young children and moved out of the city. She helped raise my 3 kids (all in their 20s now) including feeding, taking to school, arranging playdates, reading to and playing with them, doing their laundry, keeping the house neat, making sure they got to school and activities promptly and completed homework and whatever else was needed. As they got older she was happy to shift to doing more housework, walked my dog and helped with errands. She was never late and never missed a day of work (my husband and I were working full time). She is honest, discreet, trustworthy, warm, loyal and flexible. My youngest (who started with Marguerite when she was 1) is a sophomore in college and says Marguerite is her best friend! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hello – We want to help connect our one-of-a-kind nanny, Jana, with another lucky family. Jana has been with us since our daughter was 6 months old and has become an irreplaceable part of our family. The bond she shares with our daughter is truly special.

With 23 years of experience, Jana has a natural gift with children. Every day with her is filled with fun and learning, rain or shine, she always has something planned. She has also built a wonderful community of fellow nannies which has been such a gift for our daughter who has the sweetest group of friends. She also connected us with the other parents we now meet for weekend playdates.

As first-time parents, we always felt at ease knowing our daughter was in loving hands. Jana kept a detailed daily logbook of feedings, naps, and milestones, helping us stay connected to our baby’s routine. She also takes the sweetest photos and videos daily through a private album that our whole family has come to cherish. Beyond caring for our daughter, she takes initiative in so many thoughtful ways whether it’s picking up groceries, bringing new crafts and toys, or quietly taking care of household tasks so we always return to a tidy home.

Ps. She is also fluent in German and Croatian if that is of interest to you!

Lorna has decades of experience and is the kindest and most incredible caregiver. It is extremely bittersweet to part ways (I am taking a work pause so no longer need a full time nanny).

She started with my daughter when she was 6m and has been with us for over 2 years, managing anything related to the baby – transitioning to solid food, cooking, her laundry, etc.

She is looking for to start with a new family full time. She is wonderful with babies and all children and worked as a baby nurse for most of her families before transitioning to a full time nanny. Her calm demeanor was extremely comforting post-partum and transitioning back to work.

(Correcting our previous post which had a typo that she is live in – she is live OUT only.)

We are writing to unequivocally recommend our extraordinary nanny, Aruna (Rona) Tulsi. Unfortunately, we need to say goodbye because we will be moving out of state; otherwise we would have continued on with her.

Rona has been with our family for the past two years, since our daughter Ellie was four months old, and she has been nothing short of extraordinary. She is responsible, thoughtful, reliable, and deeply loving. She has cared for our daughter Ellie with such warmth, devotion, and attention, as if Ellie were her own. Other nannies and parents in the building have remarked to us that they never see Rona on her phone (except when she’s taking pictures of Ellie to send us) and that she is constantly engaging with Ellie. Thanks to Rona, Ellie has absolutely flourished in every aspect of development.

Before becoming a nanny, Rona spent 20+ years as an early childhood educator, and her experience shows in everything she does. She brings a rich understanding of milestones and development, creative ideas for activities (including creating art activities for Ellie to engage in), and the knowledge and patience to set good, age-appropriate boundaries and behavioral expectations. Her depth of experience allows her to engage with Ellie in joyful and meaningful ways, meeting her where she is while encouraging her to grow and develop.

Ellie is advanced for her age in terms of milestones, and this is due to Rona. Among other things, she helped us transition Ellie to solids, set expectations for cleaning up toys, got her to put her shoes on by herself, learn words and proper names, hold a pencil and write letters, and is now helping us potty train Ellie. As a result, Ellie surpasses all the milestones for her age in terms of motor skills, communication, and social awareness.

She is also remarkably dependable and organized. We have never once worried about Ellie’s safety or well-being when she’s with Rona. She communicates clearly and regularly, and takes initiative in managing the day. We trust her completely.

Finding someone you can entrust your child to is no small thing. Rona has been one of the greatest gifts to our family. We can’t recommend her highly enough, and we would be more than happy to speak with anyone who is considering bringing her into their home.

Please feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more!

Our wonderful nanny Cheryl is looking for a new family. She has been with us since our son was just three months old, providing him with exceptional, nurturing care.

Cheryl brings many years of experience as a nanny. She is thoughtful, kind, and truly passionate about what she does. She quickly learned our baby’s cues and was attentive to his needs. Cheryl loves getting down on the play mat – she kept our son happily engaged throughout the day with singing, reading, and age-appropriate activities. She helped us establish a great daily routine and was meticulous about the little details that matter. When he began eating solids, Cheryl not only prepared healthy meals, but also patiently encouraged him to try new foods.

In addition, Cheryl is incredibly reliable—she’s always punctual and has been extremely flexible whenever we needed additional hours due to work. Her upbeat personality and consistently positive attitude have been such a gift to our family.

Our son absolutely lights up with a big smile every morning when he sees her. We feel so lucky to have had her and we will miss her dearly. Any family would be truly fortunate to welcome Cheryl into their home!

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with the greatest pleasure and without any hesitation that I recommend Trish as a nanny. For the past five years, Trish has been an integral and deeply valued part of our family, providing exceptional care for our children. Her character is a rare and precious find; she is a person of immense integrity and strong values, and she has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our children’s well-being and development. Trish has a unique ability to treat our kids with a perfect blend of respect and appropriate structure, fostering a safe and nurturing environment where they have thrived. Her dedication and professionalism place her in the top 1% of childcare providers we have ever encountered, and we are incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives.

Beyond her outstanding work ethic, what truly sets Trish apart is her heart. She connects with our children on a profound level, showing genuine warmth, patience, and compassion in every interaction. She has been a positive role model, teaching our kids valuable life lessons and encouraging them to be kind, responsible, and curious. Trish is consistently reliable and trustworthy, and her clear communication and thoughtful approach have made our lives so much easier. While we are sad to see her go, we are also excited for the family who will get to experience her truly remarkable care. Any family would be lucky to have her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Caro is a good nanny. She is considered part of our family. She is a loving, responsible, and proactive person who can meet the children’s needs by caring for them at home. She is studying English and has taught my son many Spanish words. She oversees his meals and helps with homework and activities. She is very patient, cheerful, and communicates well with parents and children. She shows empathy toward the children and the family. She also establishes a safe and supportive environment for their development. She builds strong bonds with the children. She will always be welcome in our family.

She is very responsible and cares for them inside and outside the home, supervises activities, and plays with them.
We always prepare meals, and she is in charge of feeding them. We take walks in the park and helps with hygiene and sleep, and meets the children’s social and emotional needs. She often helped us take the children to and from school and after-school activities, and kept the playgrounds tidy. She always informs you about the children’s routines and behavior. We were always completely safe when they were in her care. She has a wealth of experience, plus she’s a mother, and her son is the most well-behaved child I’ve ever met.

Since we’re moving to a new city, we won’t be able to stay with her anymore, but we hope she finds a loving and caring family that will make her feel at home.

Juliet has been with us for 6 wonderful years, joining us when our eldest was only 2 yrs old and from birth of our other two children( our girls are now 3, 5, and 8yrs old.

Juliet is the kind of caregiver every parent hopes for. Unfailingly reliable(has only missed 1 day due to illness in 6 yrs and has never been late), deeply nurturing and genuinely interested in children’s development and happiness.
She instills respect, good manners, and kindness, but also knows how to be goofy and playful, engaging kids with laughter, imagination and joy.

If you are looking for someone to love and guide your children as her own, while bringing years of experience and a calm, joyful presence to your home, we highly recommend Juliet.

Dato was with our family for 3 years from the time our oldest was 3 months old and seamlessly helped us transition to 2 kids. She lovingly cared for both our boys as if they were her own. She is incredibly nurturing – always smiling, in good spirits, playful, singing songs to the boys. Dato handled all feeding/meals from formula to solids to regular meals. She always had healthy snacks packed on the go. She is extremely clean – keeping the boys and the house immaculate. Dato was very flexible, always stayed late if we needed it (which was often!) and even did some weekend overnights. We were truly lucky to have her part of our family! Dato is ideally looking for a family with a new baby to grow with on the UES, but is open and flexible!

Experienced, Reliable, and Caring Nanny Seeking Full-Time Position

I am delighted to recommend our former nanny, Adouki, who is currently seeking a full-time position. She has 10 years of experience caring for children and worked with our family for 1.5 years, from 2021 to 2022, quickly becoming a trusted and beloved part of our household. The only reason she is no longer with us is that we decided to move back to Rochester and unfortunately, had to leave our amazing nanny behind. Otherwise, we would have continued with her without hesitation. In addition, her most recent position came to a natural end when the children she cared for transitioned into full-time school after 2.5 years with that family.

Adouki has a natural gift with children and provides the perfect balance of warmth, structure, and calm. She not only keeps the children’s spaces tidy and organized, but also takes care of their laundry and belongings with great attention. She plans and supervises fun, age-appropriate activities and playdates and guides children through daily routines such as bath time and bedtime with patience and consistency. On occasion, she even stayed overnight or helped on weekends when extra support was needed, always going above and beyond what was asked of her.

She is fully vaccinated, CPR certified, and First Aid certified. Most importantly, she always places the children’s safety and well-being first while maintaining open and clear communication with parents. Our children adored her, and we always felt at ease knowing they were in her care.

Adouki is now looking for a full-time position ,I can say with complete confidence that any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her as part of their lives.

You can contact her directly at Adouki93@gmail.com or by phone at 718-313-2885

Our extraordinary nanny, Kelsang, is looking for her next posting now that our youngest is off to preschool. She has been with us for three years, since our youngest was six months old, and she has been a force of calm and joy in our household. With more than 20 years of experience taking care of babies and children in the NY area (aside from raising her own brilliant daughter, now off at college), Kelsang has seen it all. She has extensive experience with newborns and children of all ages, those with allergies, special dietary needs, eczema — you name it. She is unflappable, flexible, and keeps the child’s safety paramount. She has guided my daughter through every transition and built and nourished a beautiful community around her, by connecting with other children and nannies in the area. She is very active and keeps my daughter so engaged; every week she arranges multiple outings to museums, botanic gardens, parks and zoos, and at home, she reads my daughter constantly and has inculcated a deep love of reading. From getting my daughter started on solids to potty training, from first music classes and first friendships, first visits to doctors and dentists to getting adjusted to preschool, Kelsang has been there, with her remarkable composure, good humor, endless patience and bottomless love. (And consummate professionalism, in three years, she has never once been late.) We have been so fortunate to have had this time with her and are very happy for anyone lucky enough to welcome her into their family. Kelsang is looking to begin in early October and would prefer to work with one child — preferably a newborn or baby but is open to conversations. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any additional information.

Our wonderful nanny Martha is looking for a new family. She started with us when my son was four months old, and has been with us for the last eight years. Martha is very intelligent and extremely reliable. She is expert with babies and small children.

Martha is bilingual and has taught our son to speak, read, and write Spanish. For that matter, she taught him how to walk, potty-train, and has helped us through every childhood milestone. She emphasizes manners and respect, while also being warm, patient, and deeply nurturing.

She is good-natured and ready to play games or sports with our son. She connects with other parents and caregivers in the neighborhood to organize play-dates. She is communicative, confident, and has been a real partner to us. We recommend her whole-heartedly.

Please feel free to reach out to Martha directly at (347) 592-7727. We’d be glad to provide a reference.

We were so lucky to find Indira! She has been a thoughtful and dedicated full-time caregiver for our son since he was six months old. She brought a confident calmness into our home, helping set daily routines, supporting his growth with healthy meals, and encouraging his social and physical development through visits to neighborhood libraries, parks and playgrounds. She anticipated and adapted to his developmental changes, keeping him engaged through singing, reading and age-appropriate play.

Indira stayed on top of every detail and kept us fully informed of the baby’s moods and needs. She took daily notes on his feeding and nap schedule so we could see how his day was going. She’s been extra mindful of any health or safety concerns we had and would notify us if anything came up. Her prior experience caring for kids with food allergies was also very helpful as we started introducing solids and building his mealtime skills.

There was an immediate ease and comfort whenever Indira was around. My husband and I both usually work from home and are juggling so much, but she has always been flexible in working with our schedules and a great partner in our son’s care—easy to talk to, genuine, adaptable and considerate. It’s been a pleasure to get to know her, and truly joyful to watch the deep bond she and our son have developed as he’s grown.

We had always planned for our son to join his older sister’s preschool in the fall and we’re grateful that he had such a loving and committed nanny in his first year. We will miss her greatly! We know any family looking for a full-time nanny would be fortunate to have her and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, or reach out to Indira directly.

Our beloved nanny, Barbara, is looking for a new family in September as our daughter will be in school full-time. Barbara has been with our family for nearly four years, ever since our daughter was just a month old. It has been such a joy to watch our daughter grow up with Barbara’s loving care.

Barbara is truly exceptional, she’s dependable, incredibly kind, loving, and remarkably flexible. She’s also wonderfully social, which has been fantastic for our daughter’s friendships. Barbara actively facilitates playdates and encourages group activities. She’s a pro at planning exciting outings, from trips to museums and the zoo, to engaging classes and countless playground adventures.

Hello, our wonderful nanny Ana is available starting next month as our family is moving to the suburbs. She’s been working with us for a year, starting when our son was a newborn. He is now a toddler and smiles and crawls toward her every morning when she comes over. She is a true partner in the household and willing to do anything that helps the family, including household dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, and walking our dog. She is incredibly kind, patient, and playful and has a great attitude towards any guidelines given to her. She’s also made herself available to come help us on weekends when one of us parents has been sick or traveling.

She speaks both English and Spanish to our son and loves to read to him. She practices skills with my son geared towards milestones required at every age and he’s been thriving. She brings a warm, loving, playful energy to the household. Feel free to reach out to me should you want to chat in more detail.

I’m writing to share news about the most incredible nanny who will be looking for a new family beginning January 2026. Sabrina has been with us since my son came home from the NICU in 2020, and she has truly become a member of our family.

During those early, overwhelming days, Sabrina didn’t just help us—she saved us. I often tell people that Sabrina has renewed my faith in humanity. She’s a constant reminder that there are genuinely amazing, loving people in this world, and it has been an absolute privilege to have her help raise my boys.

We always knew we’d eventually need to part ways when we moved to the suburbs for my work commute. But watching the incredible bond Sabrina formed with our son, and then his younger brother, motivated us to stay in the city longer than planned. We simply couldn’t imagine separating them.
Sabrina is everything you could want in a caregiver: punctual, responsible, generous, and genuinely passionate about working with children. She loves to play and constantly creates fun, enriching activities for the boys. Her social skills are remarkable—she organizes playdates and has helped my children make friends throughout our neighborhood.

The testament to Sabrina’s character? When I mention to anyone that we’re moving, the first question is always “Do the boys know about Sabrina?” Without my even asking, people volunteer to serve as references and sing her praises.
Beyond being an exceptional caregiver, Sabrina is simply a wonderful person and incredibly hard worker. She plans nutritious meals, and during any downtime, she helps around the house. Despite managing two energetic boys, our apartment is always clean and organized. Whenever we’ve needed last-minute help, she’s available without hesitation.

If I could take Sabrina with us, I would in a heartbeat. However, as my boys transition to full-day school, it makes sense for her to begin fresh with a new family who can fully utilize everything she has to offer.

Please DM me to discuss further. Sabrina is truly a gift, and while it breaks my heart to say goodbye, I’m committed to helping her find the perfect next family.
