Hi, I’m referring to Vianca because she’s a great nanny. She takes care of my children and is like a second mother to them. She cleans, does laundry, and does everything for the kids. She’s a wonderful, trustworthy human being, and I highly recommend her. I also paid her extra to take care of my dog, and she looked after him while we were on vacation.

Dominique was truly a gem & delight to have as part of your family. I have know Dominique for 5 plus years and she was our first ever nanny for our twin sons and she started with us when they were approaching 3 months. One of which was medically fragile as an infant & Dominique was very compassionate, and managed to tend to both boys needs although one required much more physical attention and care. She would also assist with all recommended home therapy activities suggested by my son’s therapist.
She is punctual, communicative, caring and would help with all the baby related duties and even assisted around the home if she noticed I was behind on my house related task, & she had time to assist. Her proactive approach to her daily routine truly helped me navigate being a mom of 4 as I had 2 older daughters that was in school but if ever I needed her to throw an eye on them for me she was always very willing.
Dominique is also a newborn care specialist & home health aide and she truly loves children and helping families navigate the journey of parenthood. She is also a mother of two teen children and has experience with all age group of children from newborn, toddlers, middle schoolers and pre-teens.Her presence has always created a positive impact in our home and I would truly recommend her to any family searching for this type of support.
Our nanny Tejkumari has been outstanding when it comes to taking care of our 2 kids (Ezra – 9 & Lukas – 2).
She has gone above and beyond when it comes to how our kids feel around her. From the moment she arrives they are running to greet and hug her which gives us a sense of comfort and security
She is always on time because of our hectic work schedule and always stays back a little late if needed.
She is a good cook for the kids as they will usually want what she made on the weekends when we are with them and also would share ideal recipes with us that we would otherwise not have prepared
Overall we are very pleased with her service and would highly recommend as she has had a few years of experience with us and more years prior with past clients both in Manhattan & Queens
I’m happy to recommend Silvia Guevara, who took care of my daughter from 7 months old through age 6. Silvia was an important and trusted part of our home during those years and played a big role in my daughter’s early childhood. Our childcare needs changed as my parents began helping more, otherwise we would have happily continued with her!
Silvia is super warm, energetic and children are naturally drawn to her happy, lively presence. She kept my daughter active and engaged with playdates, activities, and outings, and also helped with yummy kids’ meals, laundry, and keeping everything super tidy. She was incredibly reliable and always on time.
Silvia is Spanish-speaking and is looking for a position about 3 days a week in Manhattan. Please reach out to her for any inquiries, but always happy to talk/email as her reference!
She is loving with children.
Anita has worked with us for 2 years since my son was an infant. She has been a warm and loving nanny taking care of my son with such care, dedication and loyalty. She showers him in love, teaches him and the bond they have is irreplaceable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Anita and any family would be lucky to work with her. The only reason we are parting ways with Anita is because we are moving. She is willing to come early, stay late. She prepares his meals and helps tidy the kitchen and apartment. As needed, she will travel and do overnights. I couldn’t recommend her or speak highly enough of Anita. She has previous experience of working with a family with 3 kids and is fully capable of caring for more than 1 child.
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.
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!
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.

Paulette is an experienced, loving and hard working nanny with over 30 years of experience caring for children on the Upper West Side. She joined our family as a nanny for our newborn son and stayed with us for 10 years. She is now looking for an after school, part time gig.
Paulette is flexible and adapts to the family and the child. My kid was very hard to put down as a baby. She held him through many naps and still tidied up my kitchen so that I could cook dinner right after work. Extremely hard working, Paulette is always tidying up things, often without having been asked.
She is quite social and has brought many nanny and children friends into our lives. She is familiar with toddler, preschool and elementary school activities on the Upper West Side and is always looking for fun outings to do.
I am thrilled to highly recommend Barbara as a nanny and childcare provider. Barbara worked with my family during the height of COVID, caring for my four children of very different ages, and she was nothing short of amazing.
At the time, I had a one-month-old infant, a Pre-K child, a 3rd grader, and an 8th grader. Barbara provided full-time care for my newborn, handling feedings, diapering, naps, soothing, and daily routines with patience and confidence. With my school-aged children, she assisted with remote learning and homeschooling, helping my Pre-K child and 3rd grader stay engaged, focused, and on schedule, while appropriately supervising and supporting my 8th grader’s independence and responsibilities.
Thanks in large part to Barbara’s consistency, encouragement, and hands-on support during homeschooling, both my kindergartener and 3rd grader earned A Honor Roll during that period. She has a wonderful ability to balance structure with warmth, helping children stay motivated while still enjoying the learning process.
Barbara is incredibly engaging and attentive. She knows how to meet children where they are developmentally—whether that means reading books, doing age-appropriate learning activities, helping with homework, encouraging creative play, or simply listening and providing emotional support. She also helped prepare simple, healthy meals and snacks, maintained routines, and ensured a safe, nurturing environment for all of my children.
She worked with our family for one full year, and the only reason our time together ended was because we relocated to San Antonio, TX, while Barbara returned to NYC. Most recently, Barbara returned in August 2025 to help with after-school care, and she continues to demonstrate the same level of reliability, care, and dedication.
Barbara is the kind of nanny every parent hopes to find—capable, organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely loving with children. She comes highly recommended, and I would confidently recommend her to any family seeking exceptional childcare.

We’re very sad to be wrapping up our time with Rhonda, who has been with our family since our now 2-year-old was 4 months old. She’s also cared for our baby son since birth. Rhonda is loving, consistent, and playful, with nearly 20 years of nannying experience—an ideal fit for a family with a newborn.
She’s incredibly reliable, intuitive with kids, and happy to pitch in for evening or weekend shifts. She keeps their spaces tidy, handles laundry, meals, and dishes, and brings joy to each day through reading, songs, and play.
Our kids adore her. Our daughter runs to greet her each morning shouting her name. We credit Rhonda with teaching her the ABCs, colors, and more. She prioritizes safety, and we trust her completely.
Rhonda is available in late July and prefers to work in Brooklyn. Please reach out if you’d like to connect.
Cleo has worked with my family for 24 years helping me raise 3 daughters and run my house. She is exceptional with children of all ages, incredibly intelligent and well read and just a pleasure to be around. Any family would be lucky to have her in their home.\’
Pema is an incredible asset to any family. She radiates warmth with a bright smile and calm demeanor that immediately resonated with our daughter. Pema is fun, imaginative, highly communicative and organized and she manages to balance soft kindness with firmness and structure. Pema and our daughter are always having fun together, constantly playing, giggling and truly enjoying one another\’s company. We were particularly impressed with Pema\’s proactivity in organizing our daughter\’s schedule, arranging play dates, trips to art galleries or museums, she has a finger on the pulse of new and interesting spaces for kids and is always befriending other nannies within our community and making new connections. Pema is an exceptional communicator, she sends daily picture updates of what they\’ve been up to. Our daughter arrives home each evening in a wonderful mood. Pema is also a safe and confident driver, which we found very helpful in taking the children to various activities, and school pick up. Pema is incredibly trustworthy and as a mother herself she\’s sensitive, loving and deeply adores children. Pema came highly recommended through friends of ours and has been a joy to work with for the past 12 months, sadly with Kindergarten beginning in the fall, we have to now say goodbye. Pema has been an undeniable asset to our family and we know she will be to yours. We feel strongly about helping her find another wonderful, loving family and are happy to chat anytime to answer any additional questions. She\’s looking for a full time role to commence immediately.
Liliana cared for our baby Noah who is now 16 months old for 7 months until he started daycare and she was absolutely exceptional. We didn\’t want him to start daycare when he was 5 months so Liliana was a big help for us during those months until her turned 1. She is so dependable, warm, and has such a calming presence, Noah adores her. She helped him progress with sitting and crawling. She spent a lot of time singing and reading to him. Even now once in a while when she has time she helps on a weekend or evening to take care of Noah and he loves loves loves her.
My husband and I would have loved to continue with Liliana but Noah had been admitted after waiting a year to a very selective daycare. Deferring admission would have moved us to back of the wait list.
While caring for him, Liliana prepared all his food, kept everything related to him clean and organized. She also helped with light tidying around the apartment. She mostly speaks Spanish but understands some English. I don\’t speak Spanish but I was able to communicate with her using basic English and when that was not enough using one of the many instant translation apps there are. My husband speaks Spanish but he was always at work so I interacted with her 95% of the time with no issues. I even got to learn some Spanish which was a big plus for me.
We were so grateful to find her when we were desperate for a nanny and she was able to find another family after Noah for a few months but now that baby is also starting daycare so she is looking for another family. We recommended her to them and they are absolutely happy but also sad that their baby has to start daycare and can\’t be cared by Liliana anymore. I know that family would be more than happy to provide a second amazing recommendation of Liliana also.
Cleo has worked with my family for 24 years helping me raise 3 daughters and run my house. She is exceptional with children of all ages, incredibly intelligent and well read and just a pleasure to be around. Any family would be lucky to have her in their home.\’
We are privileged to have had Johanna as our nanny and a member of our family for over 12 years. During this time, Johanna helped us raise our three kids (17-year-old twin son and daughter (since they were 5) and our 12-year-old daughter from birth). She was equally skilled in the infant, toddler, preschool, kid and teen stages and has forged independent relationships with each of our children that have been critical to their development and well-being.
Johanna has been responsible for all aspects of childcare including cooking healthy and family-friendly meals, bathing, nap schedules, school drop-offs, homework and doctors’ appointments. She shuttled our three kids (and their friends) all over the five boroughs and for various activities. Johanna has worn many hats over the years to make our lives easier — from meal planning to homework helper to laundry to neighborhood errands. She is also a master Lego builder, board game player, motivator, sports game referee, baker, hair and clothing stylist, closet organizer and shopper.
While we have always partnered to set reasonable and consistent routines and expectations for our kids, Johanna has always implemented our plans respectfully. She has impeccable instincts and judgment and can be firm when needed but also knows just when a spontaneous ice cream outing is called for. She also often communicated with our children’s teachers on our behalf and is the best class trip chaperone!
Johanna is incredibly responsible, trustworthy and hard-working while also being fun and caring. She is a very warm person and is easy to be with. She traveled with our family many times, lived with us during the summers and bonded with our children’s grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She is also super friendly and outgoing. She organized individual and group playdates and made sure our kids had a good mix of socialization and downtime. Our children’s friends (and their parents) were always happy to see Johanna at pick up and were thrilled to have Johanna supervising playdates at our home or at the playground.
During the time that Johanna has worked with us, I have been a stay-at-home mom, a mom that worked part-time from home and a mom that worked out of the home and Johanna has been able to navigate each of these situations comfortably. When I am home, we divide and conquer childcare and household needs and when I am at work or traveling, I have tremendous confidence that Johanna has everything under control and most importantly that my children are safe, well-cared for and loved. Whether we were making baby food together, packing the kids for a vacation or sleepaway camp, organizing after-school schedules or comforting a child after a tough day at school, we are truly a team.
Johanna is a gem, and any family would be beyond lucky to have her care for their children. I simply cannot say enough in a few paragraphs about Johanna and what she has meant (and continues to mean) to our entire family. Please contact me at any time for additional information.
I am pleased to write this letter in strong support of Dianne Gopee for a nanny position. What began as a chance encounter at a playground grew into our most valued working relationship for our family. Starting out with our two young children, Dianne had to multitask and manage difficult situations ranging from child sickness to varying school schedules, all which she handled with skill and grace.
As our children got older, Dianne’s role evolved and developed into what could be described as a House Manager. The kids’ schedules became more complicated with sports, school and tutoring and Dianne took on more responsibility with food shopping, cooking and cleaning and continued to demonstrate immense reliability and strong work ethic.
I have witnessed firsthand Dianne’s dedication and professionalism. Others have too, frequently other families would approach her to work for them and lamented the fact that they could not find someone who measured up to Dianne’s caring, kindness and enthusiasm.
Dianne has consistently demonstrated quick problem-solving and attention to detail. Regardless of the situation her thoughtfulness and personable nature puts everyone around her at ease. I have no doubt that Dianne will contribute greatly to any family, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything further.
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.
E’Alsha was a nanny for a little over 9 years. She is CPR and First Aid certified and has prior experience as a baby nurse. She is vaccinated, boosted and Covid cautious. From the beginning, she has taken an active interest in helping our sons grow and learn. She is always suggesting classes, engaging with other nannies at the playground so our sons could have play dates with other kids and teaching our sons basic learning and development skills for their age. She’s always on the go, rain or shine, even when our sons were infants, she’s always coming up with creative ideas to keep our boys entertained. We credit our boy’s skillet and confidence largely to her. E’Alsha always kept us up to date through-out the day, sending pictures and videos or calling with silly stories. In addition to caring for our sons, she would offer to make purees for them when they were a baby as my sons got a little older, she would prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner if needed or directed. She does light housework, children’s laundry, potty training and more. She is patient, easygoing, reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy and very flexible. Things ran smoothly because we had a great and clear communication which we admired and respected. She is available to start in July 2026. Additional references can be provided if necessary. You can contact E’Alsha directly.
