Find a Babysitter in New York and Nearby Areas

Hi everyone! I would like to recommend my wonderful nanny, Tenzin, who will be available part time starting July with option for full time in the near future! She has been taking care of our son since he was 3 months old and has been such a huge help to our family. She takes takes him out on long walks, sets up play dates, and has been incredibly helpful with sleep training since day 1. As a mother herself, she has firsthand experience and truly treats our son like her own.

I am so happy to recommend our weekend/part-time nanny, who cares for our 20-month-old son. She has been truly a gift to our family. Our son struggles with separation anxiety, which makes it difficult to find someone he feels safe and comfortable with. From the very beginning, Twyla approached the situation with patience, empathy, and deep understanding. She took the time to build trust with him at his pace—offering gentle reassurance, consistent routines, and a calm, nurturing presence that helped him feel secure and cared for in our absence. She has a natural way with young children, blending playfulness with attentiveness, always ensuring our son’s emotional and physical needs are met. Whether she’s reading with him, engaging him in sensory play, or simply sitting with him quietly during a tough moment, she brings warmth and intentionality to every interaction. We are so lucky to have her as a respite in our busy schedule. On top of her outstanding care, Twyla is reliable, on-time, and professional, and communicative. She is looking for a full-time position and I wholeheartedly recommend her. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sattee is just amazing. She was with us for 17 years, from infancy of my first son thru high school for my second. She is a part of our family in every way but biological! Others always told us how lucky we were to have her. She is loving, diligent, fun, happy, and was wild about our kids. She always knew exactly what to do if they were crying, sick, etc. She was so reliable and dependable. I wish the best for her and want her to have a great work experience going forward. She is interested in working with an infant (that is her special skill), part-time, but is very flexible on schedule and exact hours etc. She prefers to communicate via text in response to any inquiries.

We are helping our wonderful nanny, Lorena, find a summer position! My husband will be taking his paternity leave, so we will not need full-time support. Our hope is to connect her with another family for the summer while eagerly anticipating her return to our position mid-August. We can be somewhat flexible on dates to align to your family's needs and ensure your timeline is supported alongside ours. Lorena has become a member of our family and cares for our youngest son (8 months) with the utmost love, patience, and attentiveness. She has a background in preschool education, speaks English and Spanish fluently, and has experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood, including caring for multiple children at once. When she's caring for both of our boys (our oldest is 3.5) she also takes them on wonderful adventures around the city from the Central Park Zoo to many neighborhood parks and libraries. You can imagine, she's adept at navigating the subway with kids! The days are full of fun, learning, and joy. Our oldest has had several caregivers and Lorena is the one who brings the excitement that mitigates any stress of parents stepping out for work or a date. We have said that Lorena is our very own Mary Poppins! She is interested in summer roles beginning in June and ending after the first week in August (open to shorter periods). Lorena is happy to work at a summer residence if it is in the region surrounding NYC, but does not drive. If interested, we’re happy to privately share some fun photos of Lorena with our boys. We look forward to being in touch to share more. We want to ensure she finds a welcoming family to support this summer!
