We’re sharing this on behalf of our former nanny, Aggie, as her current family prepares for their little ones to start school. We are helping them find her next wonderful family. Aggie, who was an outstanding nanny for our daughter from the age of 4 months to nearly 2 years, is seeking a full-time position. She is a certified newborn care specialist with extensive experience caring for infants and young children. She holds pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications. Aggie far exceeded our already high expectations as both a guardian and a companion for our daughter. She was incredibly reliable and consistently prioritized safety. Whether waiting quietly outside the nursery during naptime or tidying up when our daughter was sleeping, Aggie’s dedication was unmatched. At the playground, she was always attentive, ensuring our daughter’s safety while letting her explore and play. One of the many ways Aggie went above and beyond was in organizing playdates. Despite being new to the neighborhood, she quickly established a network, creating a group of friends for our daughter. The joy on our daughter’s face after these get-togethers was priceless, and we were so grateful for Aggie’s thoughtfulness in planning them. Aggie became a true part of our family during her time with us, and we are deeply invested in helping her find her next opportunity. She came to us highly recommended by her previous employer, a family with several children, including one with special needs. Her extensive childcare experience, patience, problem-solving skills, and initiative made her a trusted advisor as we navigated the early years of parenting. She was also flexible with scheduling, often accommodating our needs with a few days’ notice. We cannot recommend Aggie highly enough for her next role with a loving family. Please feel free to call/text/email ([email protected] or 347-514-3303) or reach out to Aggie directly (646-286-4104).

We relocated out of the country, and our wonderful babysitter, Janneth, is available starting in December 2024. Janneth has been caring for our very active 8-year-old daughter and has proven to be an incredibly kind, patient, and reliable caregiver. In addition to assisting with school pick-ups and after-school activities, Janneth helps with homework, preparing dinner, laundry, and tidying up our daughter's bedroom. She is also happy to assist with other household chores, such as grocery shopping, cooking, and general housework. We are very sad to part with Janneth but are confident she will be a perfect fit for any family. She comes with our highest recommendation, and we are sure she will be an asset to your household.

To Whom It May Concern, We have had the privilege of working with Carolina for the last eight weeks, where she has cared for our one, two, and now three month old daughter. Carolina was able to meet us last minute at our summer house out East on short notice, but spent the majority of her time with us sleep-training and caring for our daughter in our UWS NYC apartment as our night nurse. We really appreciated her flexibility in being so comfortable with travel early on in our working relationship - something with which we’ve found not all nurses and nannies are comfortable doing. Carolina is punctual, communicative, diligent, proactive, and most importantly, demonstrates a passion and skill for working with infants, toddlers, and children. We have had nothing more than a totally positive experience working with Carolina, and if we did not already have a full-time nanny working for our family, we would be hiring Carolina full time to work with us and care for our children. Please use this letter of recommendation as our endorsement and continued referral of Carolina as a night nurse and nanny. Warm Regards, Nick & Samantha

I want to share a recommendation for our amazing nanny, Maria, who is looking for a full-time position. She has been a part of our family for five years but she has been a nanny for over 25 years. With my son attending school full-time, we no longer needed her on a daily basis but she continues to be in our family for occasions. She is hard-working, trustworthy and takes initiative to every child’s needs. In the past, she has helped other families with multiple kids and multiple ages as well. With a background in early childhood development, Maria creates a nurturing, safe, and fun environment every day. She’s patient, incredibly attentive, and her love for children shines through in everything she does. Plus, being bilingual in Spanish and English. She does light housekeeping for the child; cleaning, cooking, and laundry. She loves going to the community; park outings, play-dates, library and classes. Also she is flexible to travel in the USA and abroad. She is also considerate; she would send us picture of our son every day, keeping us updated on his day. If anyone is looking for someone long-term, trustworthy and genuinely dedicated to children’s growth and well-being, I can’t recommend Maria enough. Feel free to message me if you’d like to know more about our experience! Her availability is Monday through Friday and some weekends and can start anytime.

I wholeheartedly recommend Isabely, who served as our nanny from 2021 until 2024. During her time with us, Isabely was an integral part of our family, providing exceptional care for our children. Isabely began working with us when my son was just one and a half years old, and I was pregnant with my daughter. After my daughter was born, Isabely continued to be our primary nanny, caring for my daughter from just a few weeks old. Throughout her employment, Isabely demonstrated a high level of responsibility, reliability, and professionalism In 2024, Isabely completed her time with us as our full-time nanny to pursue her career in healthcare (she is currently in nursing school). With our children attending school full-time, we no longer needed her daily assistance. However, we continue to invite her to help us out on occasion, as we value her presence and the care she provides. She is hard-working, trustworthy, warm, and capable. If you have any questions feel free to get in touch. Her availability is as follows: Available: Tuesdays after 1:30pm Wednesday all day / night Friday all day / night Saturday all day / night

Shova has been with our family since our youngest was born in 2020. Under her care, we’ve seen our son flourish and she’s catered to his development every step of the way. Shova is now available for a fully time position as both my children are in school & afterschool full time. Shova is incredibly kind and fun. She has the patience of a saint and easily manages two rowdy boys. Every morning when Shova arrives, my children greet her with the biggest hug and smile, running into her arms. She is incredibly loving and trustworthy. She treats my kids as her own. She’s always been very flexible in any requests to shift or change our schedule and is incredibly punctual. She cooks nutritious meals and is magically able to get my sons to try new foods and eat a balanced diet (which I myself cannot do). Shova is well connected in the neighborhood and has made sure to build a social network for our youngest throughout his development. She’s worked on social skills, language and supports his emotional development. Shova has been a true partner and easily adapts to any feedback or requests. She is very communicative and sends us updates and photos throughout the day. Shova loves taking our kids on adventures like the zoo, the aquarium, Central Park and more. She takes advantage of all that NYC has to offer. We’ve been so lucky to have Shova in her life and cannot recommend her more fully. Any family would be lukcy to have her.

If you're searching for a loving, energetic, reliable nanny who combines experience with a genuine passion for childcare, we wholeheartedly recommend Nisha Paul. In 2022, our search for a nanny came to an immediate and fortunate end the moment we met Nisha. With a wealth of experience under her belt, she stood out not only for her qualifications but for her practical knowledge and suggestions, evident in her thoughtful responses to our questions. Learning later that she had multiple offers only affirmed how fortunate we were to have her join our family. It's rare to find someone with Nisha's energy, a perfect blend of experience and vigor, who approaches each day with genuine enthusiasm. As a parent, there's nothing as wonderful as seeing your child light up and clap his hands with joy when his nanny walks through the door each morning. Nisha enabled me to go back to work after maternity leave with peace of mind, knowing our then 2-month-old son was in the best of hands. On days when I worked from home, I enjoyed watching them interact, as I learned from Nisha each step of the way. From the outset, Nisha has been more than a caregiver; she's been a cornerstone of our son's early life. Her approach to childcare is holistic; she fills their days with adventures to playgrounds, libraries, and museums, ensuring that learning is as much a part of his day as playing. For a first-time mom like me, Nisha has been an invaluable source of wisdom, teaching my husband and me the ins and outs of parenting with a patience and clarity that has eased our uncertainties and bolstered our confidence. Her responsibilities have spanned from the essentials—feeding, changing, and naptime routines—to the exceptional, such as organizing our son's schedule to include social and educational activities that stimulate his growth and curiosity. Nisha's attention to safety and cleanliness has been impeccable, ensuring a healthy environment for our son to thrive. What's more, she always goes the extra mile, looking for ways to help without being asked. It is noteworthy that prior to joining us, Nisha also excelled in a nanny share arrangement, simultaneously caring for two children from different families from infancy to pre-K, showcasing her ability to multitask and adeptly manage the unique needs and schedules of multiple children. She maintains strong relationships with the families she has worked with in the past. They highly recommend her and continue to keep in touch, a testament to the close bonds she forms with the children and families in her care. It's with a bittersweet feeling that we announce Nisha's availability, as I was granted a sabbatical and we no longer require full-time childcare. Our decision is in no way a reflection of her abilities but rather a change in our family's circumstances. Nisha's impact on our family has been profound, and we have no doubt that the next child(ren) lucky enough to have her in their lives will thrive under her care. To any family considering Nisha for their childcare needs, know that she brings with her not just a wealth of experience but a heart full of love and dedication. She leaves us not only as a nanny, but as a cherished extension of our family. My husband and I, enthusiastic endorsers of Nisha, welcome any questions about her time with us.

Lisa is such a gentle soul. She care for our 3 children for many years and was a part of our family. She has experience with all ages. Her approach is gentle and reasonable. She handles kid tantrums and fights like an expert!

Kabita worked with us for 2 years (ages 6 months to 2 years, 7 months). She has 14+ years of experience with babies and children of different ages. Kabita is gentle, loving and very patient. During the first months, she was very focused on our baby's safety and helped me with tricks and tips of parenthood. Facing toddlerhood, we consider her a great role model for our toddler. She has been very patient with teaching him good habits and manners. She's very good at distracting toddlers from something unpleasant or upsetting and redirecting them by being funny or playful. At home, she played with him (trains, trucks, blocks, magnetiles, playdough, puzzles, you name it, and taught him colors, shapes, counting, etc.), sang songs in different languages and read books with him. She took him to playgrounds, parks, different classes and playdates on a regular basis. Kabita has accompanied us to medical appointments and went on vacations with us. She has great self-initiative and helped with laundry (weekly), straightening up our son's room, meals and snacks and the dishes. She has been most helpful with nap routines and keeping track of activities and playdates. We feel that Kabita supported us all along this adventure with every big change in our son's life and we will forever grateful. If I had to list Kabita’s best qualities as a nanny, I would say professionalism, responsibility, kindness and patience and punctuality.
