NY Area Nannies

I am happy to recommend Ruth highly for a nanny position with any family looking for a true partner and guiding light in raising their children. Ruth joined our family when my son was 8 months old, in March 2016 and once my daughter was born in 2017, Ruth cared for both my children. As first-time parents, we looked up to Ruth for advice and wisdom and she really delivered. Day to day she was a warm and knowledgeable caretaker to our children, a great teacher and an astute observer. Indeed, a trusted partner to us!
Ruth has over a decade and a half of experience caring for babies and toddlers, and is certified in First Aid, CPR, and as a baby nurse. She is also an early childhood educator. She is very dependable and professional, with a calm and loving demeanor. She is a good communicator and keeps parents informed of their child’s daily activities through text, photos and videos. Ruth works well with parents and can take the lead when necessary. She is skilled in arts and crafts, coloring, reading, singing and other age-appropriate activities. She likes to plan playdates at playgrounds, libraries, museums and other areas of interest to promote child-friendly development. She is proactive and can suggest activities but is also happy to follow the parents’ lead.
For the past few years, she has cared for one of our good friends’ daughters until she went to school and then for a baby starting when he was 3 months old. Ruth is now looking for her next family. She still stays with my kids occasionally and we have been having play dates together. She’s absolutely great and I love to see in person how invested she is in the kids she cares for. Ruth has a large network of nanny friends and even parents, that she organizes play dates with, so our kids have made stable friendships. Many parents have commented to me about how great Ruth is. It has indeed been an amazing comfort to have Ruth as part of the family, especially as a first time mom – her experience and advice were invaluable and I felt at ease knowing that she was in charge of my children and that I could fully trust her.
Ruth is seeking a full-time position based on a 40-50-hour work week, Monday through Friday.

I am the mother of Alex and Oliver, and I am writing to highly recommend Araceli Callejas as a nanny and caregiver.

Araceli cared for my son Alex from the time he was 13 months old until he was almost five years old, and she cared for my younger son, Oliver, from two months old until he was three years old. During these important early years, she became an essential part of our family.

Araceli is extremely responsible, trustworthy, and loving. The safety of my children was always her top priority. She maintained consistent routines for feeding and nap times, ensured proper hygiene, and was very attentive to their needs at every stage of development. She is patient, calm, organized, and truly dedicated to the well-being of children.

Her English is basic, but she communicates clearly and always ensures that instructions and routines are well understood. She has completed a CPR course for all ages, the Childcare Certification Training at LaGuardia Community College, and has received all the vaccinations required to care for newborns (Tdap, Flu, COVID-19).

My sons were always happy, safe, and very well cared for in her presence. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were with her.

Unfortunately, our family is moving to California, which is the only reason we are no longer working together. If we were staying, we would absolutely continue working with her without hesitation.

Araceli is currently seeking a position with a family who has a newborn up to one year old, an age group in which she has extensive experience and great sensitivity.

I wholeheartedly recommend Araceli to any family looking for a dedicated, loving, and professional nanny. Any family would be fortunate to have her!

Sincerely,
Laura Maria

RECOMMENDATION:

Kristie has been an integral part of our family for over four years. During that time, she has proven to be a reliable, warm, and trusted caregiver for our two children.

Kristie joined our family when our daughter was almost one year old. Kristie provided full service care from day one — changing diapers, naps, food prep and feeding, attending various baby classes and scheduling play dates. Kristie was instrumental in helping our daughter develop into the fun, creative, and thoughtful five year old she is today. Kristie’s calm demeanor has also been an important, positive, and stable influence on our son, whom she has cared for together with our daughter everyday.

Both of our children are currently in school until 2:30pm. Kristie prepares snacks for them and organizes their afterschool needs (sports equipment, mostly) before school pickup. From there, Kristie shuttles them to their after school activities before heading home for homework, bath and cool down play before dinner. During summer vacation or days when there is no school, Kristie often takes our children on excursions to Coney Island, the Brooklyn Acquarium, and both the Central Park and Prospect Park Zoos, traveling safely together on the bus or subway each way. Kristie also does the children’s laundry each week.
Our children developed a special bond with Kristie over the years and we are sad to part ways with her. We know, however, that our loss will be another family’s gain.

We were very fortunate to have Kristie as part of our lives and confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated and trustworthy caregiver.

Exceptional Babisitter Available – Highly Recommended

Faye came into our lives when our daughter was just 3 months old, and she has been an incredible blessing to our family ever since. She has been with us for three years and has provided outstanding care for both our daughter and our now 6-month-old son.

Faye is dependable, patient, trustworthy, punctual, and genuinely loving. She keeps our daughter happily engaged with enriching, creative activities — always prioritizing interactive play and learning with zero screen time. She is highly communicative and consistently ensures that we feel informed, supported, and confident in our children’s care.

We are deeply grateful for the nurturing environment she created in our home. Sadly, due to our family’s relocation to California, we no longer require her services.
Faye is currently seeking babysitting opportunities for weekends and date nights.

If you are seeking exceptional, attentive, and loving childcare, we wholeheartedly recommend Faye. She would be a true asset to any family.

Please feel free to reach out for more information or a personal reference.

Lisa is an exceptional Nanny. She is patient, kind, punctual and very knowledgeable. Lisa started with us when our first son was 6 months. She was the first Nanny we interviewed and we were very impressed with her. Atom loved her. She made our lives very easy. She had a group of Nanny friends that she would meet up with and they plan playdates trips to the city, aquarium etc. With her everything was a smooth transition from breast feeding to formula to introducing solids. I would highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for someone to make your life less complicated. Feel free to reach out to me for any further information you need to know about Lisa.

Kartok has been with our family since 2023 – we were desperate for her to move with us to Westchester but unfortunately it does not work for her family situation. Hoping to find her another lucky family to work with!

We have two girls, a 4 year old and a newborn. Kartok regularly goes above and beyond in all aspects of her job. She is caring and loving (to both the kids and to me and my husband!), she is professional and proactive, and is a trusted and valued parenting partner for me and my husband.

Kartok never stops moving – she is always thinking of activities for our daughter and helping around the home. Our daughter also has some severe allergies and Kartok takes them as seriously as we do. I trust her implicitly with my children, and they love her and are very verbal about telling her so!

I could recommend Kartok more highly. Please reach out for more details or a formal recommendation letter!

Our beloved nanny of 11 years is seeking her next family!
Rhonda has been an absolute gift to our family and to many families in our neighborhood. With over 25 years of childcare experience, she is a highly skilled and deeply compassionate nanny, Newborn Care Specialist, and Certified Nursing Assistant. She is also First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, giving any parent complete peace of mind.
Rhonda helped raise our two children, and we truly owe her more than words can express. She is kind-hearted, reliable, flexible, loyal, generous, trustworthy, responsible, patient, calm, and incredibly loving. She consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty, and I always felt completely confident knowing my children were in her safe, capable, and nurturing hands.
Rhonda has a naturally positive attitude and warm personality, which allows her to build strong relationships with children, parents, and other caregivers alike. She is well-loved by kids and adults of all ages and is respected throughout our community.
She is ideally seeking a full-time, or part-time long-term position, preferably with newborns or babies, where she can grow alongside a family and become an integral part of their lives. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Thank you!

Rose was like an angel to our family. She cared for our three children from babyhood to teenage years. She is a lovely person, and an enormously dedicated and hard-working employee. She is incredibly reliable and efficient, and very, very kind.

Her gentle yet quietly firm manner yielded what sometimes seemed like miracles to us. During the baby and toddler years, she was able to get our kids to eat, nap, wear mittens and heavy coats and keep to a schedule, when our efforts to do the same were often met with tantrums and tears. She efficiently organized playdates, read stories to them, and spent hours with them in the park. As they got older she continued to be a steady presence in their lives, picking them up from activities and keeping them on a homework schedule. Thanks to Rose, we would come home from a long day of work to a clean, orderly apartment with children happy, bathed and fed.

Whoever hires Rose will be incredibly lucky. I would be happy to answer any questions about her.

I highly recommend my former nanny Lois as a caregiver. Lois took care of my daughter from when she was 3 months old until she started kindergarten. Lois is unique because she was wonderful with my daughter at all those ages – as an infant who mostly needed lots of affection and a schedule followed, through the toddler and preschool days where they are constantly exploring and on the go, and through school age when they develop new interests. She truly loves taking care of kids and this comes out in every interaction. She was also an excellent partner in childcare tasks, keep toys and clothes organized, preparing healthy and delicious food, and helping me find new classes and activities for my child. My daughter still loves Lois – she babysits or comes over for dinner every couple of months and my daughter is always thrilled to see her. She’s a true gem!

I had a truly wonderful experience with Cheryl, who was an invaluable part of our family for five years. From the beginning, it was clear that caring for children wasn’t just a job for her it’s something she genuinely loves. She took the kids to the library and jamboree, always finding thoughtful activities that supported their growth, curiosity, and joy.

She prepares meals the children genuinely love, and her Jamaican food tastes better than I’ve had at restaurants. She is incredibly dependable, always punctual, reliable, and proactive, and she naturally helps with light housekeeping without being asked. She has experience with all aspects of newborn care and sleep trained my twins, getting them on a schedule.

Most importantly, she is caring, trustworthy, and attentive, creating a safe and loving environment where my children felt secure. The kids absolutely adore her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone who doesn’t just care for your children, but truly loves them.

Pearl is an absolutely incredible nanny for whom I have felt very grateful. Pearl helped me take care of my children for over 13 years. She started working with us when my older daughter was 3 and I was 8 months pregnant with my youngest, and brought her patient kind approach to each phase of my children’s lives. She is very experienced, smart, and creative. Pearl has a real knack for calming babies, engaging young children in creative art projects, and being a trusted shoulder to lean on for tweens/teens.  For working parents, she can help manage your home and always keeps kids areas well organized and the kitchen clean (my kids loved her cooking).  She is a native English speaker, U.S. Citizen, and incredibly reliable. There has always been an open line of communication between us. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

I am posting on behalf of our nanny, Kunsang, who will be available for a full time nanny position starting March 30th. Kunsang has been an exceptional caretaker for our family. She started as our full time nanny when my son was 5 months old, and he will soon be 2 years old.

Some of the things I love most about Kunsang is that she truly cares for my child’s well being – making sure he is well taken care off, gets enough activity and enrichment, coordinates play dates with her nanny network, and treats him as if he were her own son.

She has helped us track Weston’s development supporting major milestones like transitioning to solids, sitting up, crawling, walking, talking and ensuring he has practiced these skills daily. Kunsang has a teaching background and has done an incredible job teaching our child language and curiosity, and she is constantly talking to him which was instrumental in building out his speech the last year. Sleep schedules were very important to me, and Kunsang was supportive in helping transition our child from various nap schedules over the course of her time with us. Kunsang will also help with food prep, laundry and keeps our home very tidy.

Kunsang provides so much variety in Weston’s days, regardless of how cold or hot it is outside. She has a network of nannies that coordinate to meet up at playgrounds, Central Park, museums, zoo, gym or music class. Through Kunsang our son has developed friendships with 5-7 kids.

Kunsang works 9-5 and has been on time and reliable since the day she started with us. She is a great communicator whether it be about schedules, or a suggestion for Weston’s care (i.e. let’s try introducing him to tofu, maybe we should move him to 1 nap, or if he isn’t feeling well and might need medicine). We also have a 10 year old lab which has never been an issue for Kunsang.

The hardest part of leaving New York is leaving our beloved Kunsang. Any family would be lucky to have her. Please let me know if there are questions I can help answer.

We’re very happy to recommend our nanny, Ingrid, who has been with our family for over six months and has been amazing with our daughter, who is almost two.

Ingrid is dependable, trustworthy, calm, patient, and incredibly loving. She took care of our daughter in a way that made us feel completely confident and at ease. She brings a steady, caring presence and clearly loves working with young children.

Our daughter recently started school, so we no longer need as many hours, which is why Ingrid is looking to support a family who needs more help. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Hi, posting a recommendation for my former nanny, Allie, who is available to work with a new family.

Allie was with us for over 2.5 years and key to our sanity as working parents during the hight of the pandemic. Her main qualities are that she is very trustworthy and patient. We also appreciated her flexibility to come in early or stay late whenever we asked.

Allie is ideally looking for a family in Brooklyn or Manhattan. She has experience with all ages ranging from newborns to older children.

Hello moms,

I hope you are all doing well. I’m reaching out in hopes of finding a wonderful new family for our amazing nanny Triph. She has been with our family for over 20 years, since my youngest daughter was born, taking care of everything from school pick-ups and drop-offs to cooking, helping with homework, cleaning, and all the little things in between.

Her punctuality, loving nature, extreme patience, and overall thoughtfulness have made her an invaluable part of our daily lives. In addition to working with us, she has been with another family for over 6 years.

She has become part of our family, and we are keen to find another loving home where she can continue to share her warmth and dedication. Please reach out if you or anyone you know might be interested in welcoming this wonderful nanny into your lives. You can reach me at callie.aboaf@gmail.com, 646-599-5736. Or contact Triph directly at fofonia@hotmail.com or 917-474-8431.  

Thank you so much!

My family and I recently moved to CT. 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. 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. She made friends with other neighborhood nannies and William always had many play dates. 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. She is great at logistics and had William’s days 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, hardworking 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 anyone more about her. I know she will get scooped up fast. 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.

Our beloved nanny, Rose, has been a cornerstone of our home from the time our kids were newborns, and we truly cannot recommend her enough. She is a caring and loving presence for our children while also being a dependable and supportive partner to us.

The “Rose” Difference:

Expert Milestone Support: She has navigated every “first” with us—from first teeth/solids and sleep training to first steps and the first day of preschool.

UWS Neighborhood Pro: She knows the Upper West Side inside and out. Whether it’s the best story times at the NYPL, the right gym/ballet classes, or the best playgrounds and community spots in the west side parks, she keeps the kids active and engaged.

The “Chaos Whisperer”: Rose is exceptionally organized. She manages the “kid gear” (lunches, gear, seasonal prep) and keeps our apartment calm and orderly despite the natural chaos of young children.

Social & Community Focused: She doesn’t just watch the kids; she helps them build a life. She helped our daughter find her best friends by fostering connections at the park and in classes.

Additional Details:

Experience: Newborn and up

Temperament: Calm, kind, dependable, and highly proactive..

Location: UWS expert

We would love to see Rose with a family that will appreciate her as much as we have. She is particularly interested in caring for infants. Please feel free to contact me for further information.

Hello. Paulina has been a part of our family for nine years. She has 20+ years experience working with children in New York. She has worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and school age children. She is CPR certified. Paulina worked with our three children, starting at the age of 3 months for our first child who is currently 9 years old. My family no longer needs Paulina because we relocated. We would like to find her a full-time, live out position with a great family. She is very caring, patient, reliable, responsible, kind, warm and punctual, among many other great qualities. Paulina worked well with our children, performing duties, such as feeding, placing them on a sleep schedule, and potty training.

Additionally, Paulina prepared the children’s meals, tidied up around the spaces that they occupied and did their laundry. Paulina is knowledgeable about each stage for children, from newborn to school age and engages in activities accordingly. Our children had many wonderful days of tummy time, walks, playground visits, play dates, and fun classes that Paulina took them to. Any family that Paulina works with will find her to be a wonderful addition, as she is an excellent nanny. You can contact me with any other questions about Paulina.

She would be a great fit for any family, and particularly loves toddlers. She lives in Astoria, is ideally seeking a role on the UES or Midtown East, and is available ASAP. This truly feels like our loss and another family’s gain — happy to chat with anyone interested.
