Azucena was very good at connecting with our little one who she cared for from 1-2 years old.
She worked full time Monday – Friday for 2 years. She engaged lovingly with our daughter, brought her to playgrounds and the library. Arranged play dates. Handled most of our child’s laundry and assisted with cooking for our child. We always fealt our child was safe in Azucena’s care. She came referred to us by a cousin who she was previously employed by.
We are thrilled to recommend Hazel for a full or part-time nanny position. We have know Hazel for over 8-years and she has become part of our family – she is extraordinarily reliable, highly intelligent, and deeply loving. Our kids absolutely adore her, and their time spent with her are consistently filled with joy, curiosity, and outdoor adventures. Beyond her devoted childcare, she is talented housekeeper, cleaner and goes above and beyond the call of duty—she even cares for our houseplants!.
Any family would be exceptionally lucky to hire her. Please reach out if you would like to connect with Hazel directly, or if I can answer any questions about our wonderful experience working with her.
Norissa has been with our family since our son was six months old, and she has been an incredibly loving, nurturing, and dependable presence in his life. From the very beginning, it was clear that she has a genuine passion for working with children and a natural ability to connect with them. Her warmth, patience, playful spirit, and understanding of child-development have made her an invaluable part of our family. Our son absolutely adores her and runs to the door as soon as she would arrive.
Norissa combines a strong understanding of early childhood development a with a thoughtful responsive approach to caregiving. She has supported our son through each stage of his development, encouraging his independence, and emerging skills in a way that feels both natural and engaging.
She is exceptionally good with children and has a wonderful ability to meet them where they are developmentally. She has also helped us navigate several challenging developmental and parenting concerns, including a significant aversion to solid foods and sleep difficulties, with bringing a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive perspective.
Having had the privilege of seeing Norissa care for our son on a daily basis, I can confidently say that she is an exceptionally engaged and dedicated caregiver. She is fully present and attentive, making the most of every opportunity to connect with him through playing, singing and reading together. She regularly took him on outings to parks and playgrounds, classes, and has even helped him build friendships with other children in our neighborhood by arranging playdates.
In addition to her outstanding childcare skills, Norissa has been a tremendous help in maintaining our son’s daily routines and keeping his environment organized. She assists with meal preparation, keeps his spaces tidy and organized, and approaches these responsibilities with care and consistency. She is proactive, resourceful, and attentive to the many details that help a household run smoothly, allowing us to feel confident that our son is receiving excellent care while his needs are being thoughtfully managed.
Norissa is also exceptionally reliable, professional, and flexible. She has consistently accommodated our changing schedules and has been willing to provide additional hours when needed. She communicates well, demonstrates sound judgment, and approaches her responsibilities with a strong level of competence and commitment.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a rare combination of warmth, professionalism, developmental knowledge, and genuine affection for children. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as such an important part of our son’s early years, and I know that any family would be lucky to welcome her into their home. She would be a tremendous asset to a family looking for a caring, knowledgeable, dependable, and truly dedicated childcare professional.
After more than six incredible years with our family, we’re looking for a wonderful new family for our nanny, Yaya. ❤️
This is honestly one of the hardest parts of our move from New York to Europe. Yaya has been with us since our middle daughter was a newborn and has become part of our family. We truly love her like a family member. If we could bring her with us, we would in a heartbeat, but she needs to stay in New York with her family.
I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She is unbelievably reliable, calm, loving, and capable. Over the years she has cared for our three daughters, managed school drop-offs and pick-ups, cooked for the family, organized birthday parties, and helped keep our household running. She somehow always made everything look effortless.
So many parents have stopped me over the years at playgrounds or activities to tell me, “Your nanny is amazing,” after watching her handle all three girls with so much patience, warmth, and confidence. It always made me smile because we already knew how lucky we were.
More than anything, we’re hoping to find a family who will value and appreciate her as much as we have. She deserves a kind family who will treat her well, because she has given our family so much love and care.
She’s looking for a full-time nanny position in the New York area, starting end October.
If you think your family might be a good fit, please email me at sophie.kahn@gmail.com with the subject line “Yaya Nanny.” I’ll happily make the introduction and obviously provide a glowing reference.
Highly Recommended Nanny – Michelle ❤️
As our family prepares to move out of the city, we are heartbroken to say goodbye to our wonderful nanny, Michelle. She has been an incredibly important part of our family for the past five years, caring for our son since he was just one month old. We trust her completely and cannot recommend her highly enough to another loving family.
Why We Love Michelle:
• Reliable & Experienced: Michelle is punctual, dependable, and always willing to accommodate schedule changes with advance notice. Over the past five years, she has supported our son through so many important milestones, including sleep training, potty training, and his transition to school.
• Nurturing & Engaging: She creates a warm, loving, and stimulating environment for our son. She plans age-appropriate activities, reads with him, sings songs, and supports his emotional, social, and personal development. She also makes sure his play areas are clean, organized, and safe.
• Nutritious Meals & Thoughtful Care: Michelle prepares nutritious meals and maintains a safe, loving, and structured daily routine.
• Excellent Communication: She keeps us informed with regular updates about our son’s day, progress, and needs. We have always appreciated her attentiveness and open communication.
Most importantly, Michelle has developed a truly special bond with our son and has become an extension of our family. Knowing that he has been in such loving, capable, and trustworthy hands has meant the world to us. We are so grateful for the care and love she has given him over the years.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Michelle caring for their little ones!
If you are looking for a loving, dedicated, experienced, and reliable nanny, we wholeheartedly recommend Michelle. Please feel free to reach out to us for a personal reference or contact Michelle directly at 347-262-1258.
Thank you!
Dorothy is a wonderful addition to the family! She has provided so much love and dedication to our child. She really cares about our child and my child loves her. We are so lucky to have Dorothy. Dorothy takes our child outside to play, arranges playdates with our children and plays with her in our home. She is dedicated, hardworking and caring. Our child is going to preschool 2 days a week which is why Dorothy is looking for work on those days. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Julie has worked with our family for over 3 years. She started working with us when our younger son was only 2 months old, and we are only now parting ways as our son is moving into full day school and we can no longer offer full time work. Julie recently moved to New Jersey to be closer to her kids and while she commutes to us in Boerum Hill every day, she would love to have a shorter commute and would prefer to work in Brooklyn Heights, Manhattan and New Jersey.
Julie has been a calm and consistent presence in our home. She has a wonderful bond with my boys, and we have felt so lucky to have her as part of our child raising team. It has been such a weight off of us knowing that our kids are happy, safe and well cared for when they’re with her. She has been a life saver for us time and again from working over-time when we need evening care and staying overnight when my partner and I both had to be out of town, to helping us take care of kids home sick from school so my partner and I didn’t have to miss work.
Since she has been caring for our younger son from 2 months to 3.5 years, she has been crucial in helping with all of his developmental milestones, from feeding him, helping with gross motor development, potty training, and lots more. We regularly have people complimenting my son’s good manners and it’s all thanks to Julie. She encourages polite manners and has patiently and compassionately taught our younger son so many great behaviours. Everytime they come home he takes off his shoes and coat, puts them away, and washes his hands calmly and independently thanks to Julie’s encouragement and consistency. My son also has severe eczema which meant we were very strict with how we introduced foods early on as we monitored for allergies, and she followed our lead and supported us well in that process.
Julie has been working in Brooklyn for over 20 years and has built a wonderful community. A few weeks into working with us she realized a friend of hers worked with the family across the street and now the kids are best friends. She is always out of the house with my son either on play dates with the many friends she has found for him or is taking him to various playgrounds, museums, the zoo, the aquarium, our local fire station (he’s on a first name basis with all of the fire fighters), and more. I never have to come up with activities for them as she’s already planned a fun day for my son before she even arrives. Though of course whenever I set something up, I can trust they will be there ready to go on time if not 15 minutes early.
I cannot recommend her highly enough! Please feel free to reach out to myself or her directly if you are interested or know anyone who is.
Dear Friends,
Highly experienced, amazing, responsible Nanny seeks full time position with newborn or young children. Manhattan or Brooklyn preferred.
Our beloved nanny, Shelly, is available for a full time position with a new family. She has been with us since our son was just two months old (now 20) and has been the most wonderful partner in raising our son and our daughter (now 17). Prior to joining us, Shelly was a baby nurse and a nanny for twin newborns until they were 5. As she loves babies and is a newborn expert, she is excited to begin again with a newborn or young child/children, and has refreshed her certifications in anticipation of her new position. While we are incredibly sad to have her move on, we highly and emphatically recommend Shelly and would love to help her find a full time position with a wonderful family.
Shelly is exceptional – experienced, loving, responsible, energetic, fun, and incredibly dependable. She has the rare combination of deep expertise with infants and children of every age, together with an incredible work ethic, boundless energy, and warmth.
Shelly provided full care of our two children from infancy including newborn care, bathing, feeding, establishing sleep routines, developmental activities, trips to the playground and kid’s classes, creative and educational activities, nutritious meal preparation, children’s laundry, organizing bedrooms and playspaces, managing busy schedules of school, playdates, sports, and activities throughout the city and providing loving, dependable care. She is an excellent communicator, punctual, detailed and reliable in every way – a true partner in raising children. Over the years, teachers and parents regularly went out of their way to tell us how wonderful she was – something that meant the world to me as a working mom.
Safety has always been Shelly’s highest priority. She is attentive, proactive, organized, and calm under pressure. She understands the importance of safety, security and privacy for a family raising children in New York City. She encourages healthy habits, from nutritious meals to appropriate use of technology. She loves reading, playing games, and inspiring curiosity through conversation and exploration. She played an enormous role in helping our children become the kind, respectful, confident, and engaged young adults they are today.
My husband and I give Shelly our highest recommendation. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children. Please reach out directly to Shelly with interest. I would be delighted to speak with any family considering Shelly. One side note is that she prefers no dogs.

I cannot say enough good things about Alisa as a nanny. She is caring, dependable, patient, and truly wonderful with children. From the moment she started caring for my child, I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands.
Alisa is very attentive and goes above and beyond to make sure the child is happy, safe, comfortable, and engaged. She is great at keeping routines, preparing meals, keeping things organized, and finding fun and age-appropriate activities. She is also very communicative and always keeps me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind.
What really stands out about Alisa is how naturally she connects with children. She treats them with so much love and patience, and you can genuinely tell that she enjoys what she does. She is responsible, trustworthy, punctual, and someone I could confidently rely on.

Having known Micshelle personally for six years gives me an added level of confidence in recommending her. She is someone I know and trust, and I would not hesitate to have her care for my children. Any family would be fortunate to have Micshelle as their nanny!

We would like to recommend our nanny for a position. Please find below a brief recommendation that I wrote for her.
We are moving out of the city. Our wonderful care-giver, Eva is seeking full time employment.
Eva has been with us since our son was 3 years old and daughter 5 months old. We cannot begin to express our gratitude towards her. She has a long and pertinent experience with infants and older children.
Over that time. Eva has been an exceptionally dependable nanny. Eva has been extremely flexible when a change in schedule has required a last minute change in our childcare needs. In addition to her dependability, Eva has formed a very strong bond with our children and has become a part of our family
She generously prepares healthy meals for our Children. Does their laundry and keeps our house uncluttered despite our children valiant efforts to make a mess. Eva has also created an extensive social network for our children with play dates in the area, picnics at Fort Greene park and day trips to museums and local zoos. In fact, parents often introduce themselves when they recognize our Children around the neighborhood. Having other parents comment on how wonderful of a caregiver we have is a true testament to the quality of her character.
Eva arrives every morning with a lot of energy and sets about exploring Brooklyn. She and my Children rapidly bonded and there are few greater joys than to hear their laughter when we come home from work or to see our children smile when she arrives each day. The beautiful relationship they have forged will benefit our children for the rest of their life as she has kept our most precious gift healthy and happy, reinforcing lifelong values of security, love and respect.
We highly recommend her professional services.
Fantastic, experienced nanny available October 2026.
Our nanny has been caring for our daughter for the past 4 years, since
she was 6 months old until now, and Lucilla has been a trusted partner in her
care while we work full time. She worked with a prior family for 7
years, from infancy to eventually two children, and with other
families before that. But daughter has started preschool and we are
sad to not have Lucilla take care of her every day.
Lucilla has an even-keeled and steady demeanor, and is calm and
patient with our daughter. She prepares her meals, reads books, sings,
engages her fine motor skills, and takes her to the playground or
playroom every day, as well as to any classes or activities that we
have scheduled.
As first-time parents, we appreciated drawing from her knowledge of
developmental milestones and years of childcare experience while also
having the freedom to make the final call.
Couldn’t recommend Lucilla more highly to a family who is looking for
a reliable and loving caretaker with lots of experience.
If you are looking for a nanny, I’d be happy to give more information.
You can email me at eliz.sasscer@gmail.com. You can also contact
Lucilla directly at 917-325-6347.

Cherry was our beloved our nanny for the past five years. She was integral to raising our two boys from birth to ages 2 and 5 and an invaluable member of our household. Cherry is exceptionally warm, dependable, and thoughtful. We were able to count on her completely, whether for daily routines, unexpected schedule changes, or the various responsibilities involving the care of two young children. She consistently demonstrated professionalism, optimism, and a calm, steady presence that gives us full peace of mind as parents.
Most importantly, Cherry is deeply devoted to the children in her care. She formed a loving and nurturing bond with our kids and played a meaningful role in fostering their emotional, social, and intellectual development. She is always positive and brings a sense of humor to her interactions with our sons. She takes genuine interest in our children’s personalities, needs, and evolving interests. She thoughtfully creates opportunities for learning, creativity, and growth through everyday activities and interactions.
Cherry is patient, caring, and responsible, always ensuring the children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Whether helping with routines, engaging them in educational, creative, or sports activities, or simply seeing to their daily needs, she approaches every aspect of her role with warmth, pride, and dedication. We are profoundly grateful for the care and commitment Cherry has shown our family over the past five years and wish she could follow us to the suburbs. Any family would be fortunate to have Cherry, and we recommend her wholeheartedly.
Our full time nanny Gabi is looking for a new full time or part time position in Manhattan or Brooklyn given my family will be relocating outside of NYC. She has taken excellent care of our now almost 2 year old daughter and I am happy to recommend her to the NYC families out there.
Gabi took over as nanny when our daughter was 1.5 years old and assumed the role from her mother Mariza (also truly outstanding) who started with our daughter at 3 months old. Gabi has been deeply caring, thoughtful, respectful, responsible, enthusiastic, and has fostered a safe and loving environment for my child. She is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and exclusively speaks Spanish to our child (at our request). Gabi helped find learning/recreational activities, arranged play dates with other similar aged children in the neighborhood, performed light cleaning/tidying up for our toddler, and interacted with our child in a trusting and loving manner.
She welcomes the opportunity to speak further for your childcare needs and I am happy to discuss further or provide a reference.
Our circumstances have changed, and we are very sad to part ways with Lupe, but we share our highest recommendation for Lupe as a full-time nanny. She worked with us for the past three years, caring for our two daughters, now 3 years old and 9 months old.
Lupe has been an exceptional caregiver from day one. Her daily responsibilities included preparing meals for the girls, managing their laundry, keeping their spaces clean and organized, and — something we especially valued — enforcing a no-screen-time policy in favor of hands-on, developmentally engaging activities. She was endlessly creative and excelled exceptionally in this regard, regularly planning indoor and outdoor activities including art, building blocks, dolls, stuffed animals, music, singing, books, library visits, museum visits, playgrounds, park outings and playdates that kept our daughters curious and active.
Lupe’s defining quality is the genuine love and dedication she brought to her role. She cared for our girls as if they were her own. Our eldest daughter, who has always been particular about who she trusts, attached to Lupe almost immediately — a testament to the warmth and security Lupe provides. Lupe was also unfailingly punctual and reliable, and she went well beyond her normal hours whenever we needed her. During my postpartum recovery, she came in every day to help put our toddler to sleep and worked weekends without hesitation, all so our family could get the support we needed during that time.
Additionally, Lupe has a wonderful personality and is a truly good person. She is warm, energetic, and highly sociable. Lupe’s personality set a loving tone for the character of our household. She is loved by our respective families, by the nannies who care for our daughter’s friends, and by the staff and teachers at our daughter’s school. Lupe is leaving our family only because our circumstances have changed, as we will require less childcare going forward. Lupe’s departure has left a hole in our lives and household, and she will be dearly missed.
We recommend Lupe without reservation to any family seeking a loving, dependable, and genuinely skilled caregiver. She would be an asset to any household fortunate enough to have her.
Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to discuss her further.
Dechen is the best nanny you could ask for. She has been with us through 3 children, Covid, moves, and has always been there as someone to rely on. With 2 full time working parents, our family runs smoothly because of her. She doesn’t simply nanny your children, she raises them to be happy, loved, resilient kids. She is completely trustworthy and reliable. She is a quick learner and anticipates your needs. She is a kind, calm, gentle soul who brings that energy to your home everyday. Everyone we meet always tell us we have the best nanny in the world. We couldn’t agree more.
Our former nanny, Joyce, is looking for a new full-time position, and we really can’t recommend her enough.
Joyce was a baby nurse before becoming a nanny and was with our daughter since she was two months old. She is wonderful with babies and toddlers, incredibly caring and cautious, and reliable. We always felt completely comfortable with our daughter in her care, and our daughter absolutely adores her.
Joyce’s number is 347-994-7113.
Very happy to speak with anyone interested and give a reference. My number is 914-714-4787
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Michelle Ali, who has taken wonderful care of my son from the time he was a baby, beginning with her work as a baby nurse, until he reached three years of age.
Throughout this time, Michelle has been a caring, patient, dependable, and trustworthy caregiver. She has played an important role in my son’s early development, providing him with love, attention, comfort, and a safe and nurturing environment. I have appreciated her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to making sure his needs were always a priority.
Michelle is hardworking, responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for children. She understands the importance of establishing routines, supporting a child’s development, and giving parents peace of mind knowing their child is in good hands. Her experience and dedication have made her a valuable part of our family during these important early years.
I would highly recommend Michelle to any family looking for an experienced, loving, and reliable nanny or baby nurse. Any family fortunate enough to hire her would be gaining someone who takes her responsibilities seriously and treats the children in her care with kindness and compassion.
As my family’s childcare arrangement is coming to an end in October, Michelle will be available to begin a new position. I am happy to recommend her to another family and wish her continued success in her childcare career. She will rather work on the East side but also open to work on west side or Brooklyn.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information.
Sincerely,
Parent’s Name: Brittney______Rivas_________
