Find a Babysitter in New York and Nearby Areas

Our exceptional nanny, Grace, is PURE GOLD and is newly available! We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our family for 13 years, and now that we’ve moved out of NYC, we’re excited to help another lucky family find her. Don’t wait too long to reach out before she’s scooped up!

The type of position Grace is looking for: Grace is seeking a family with nursery or elementary-school-aged children who needs after-school support, including school pickups, activity transportation, playdates, homework oversight, and the evening wind-down routine.

She helps keep everything running smoothly so that when you finish work, you can focus on what matters most: enjoying time with your kids. Homework gets done, the kids are fed and bathed, laundry is taken care of, bedrooms stay tidy, and there was always plenty of time for parks, playdates, and fun.

Our experience with Grace:

Grace was with us for 13 years, from my return to work after my first maternity leave until our older daughter graduated from eighth grade. She was there when we welcomed our second child three years later and helped us navigate every stage, from the baby years and potty training to nursery school (with those especially short school days in the beginning!), neighborhood adventures, Central Park zoo trips, and countless playdates.

Throughout the years, Grace was a steady, dependable presence in our children’s lives and an incredible source of support for us as working parents. She always put the kids’ needs first, was fully engaged with them, and stayed on top of everything. When we absolutely had to be in the office and a child was sick, Grace would even come in early to help us out.

She was also wonderful about keeping us connected to the kids’ day. She sent us countless photos and videos, which made us feel included even when we couldn’t be there ourselves. It was such a gift, especially when we had to miss something because of work!

She is organized, proactive, and exceptionally reliable. Over the years, Grace coordinated pickups from two different schools and managed ever-changing schedules filled with after-school activities. She made sure the kids were where they needed to be, always early for activities and equipped with water and snacks. And when it came to pickups, she was ALWAYS early. I truly cannot overstate how punctual and dependable she is.

Grace also took care of all the little things that make a huge difference in family life. The kids’ room was tidy, their laundry was done, after-school snacks were ready when they got home, and lunches were prepared the night before. She helped take so much off my plate and gave me more time to spend with my kids.

Beyond being organized, Grace is wonderful with children. She reinforces good manners, handles meltdowns calmly and effectively, and knows how to negotiate with kids while maintaining appropriate boundaries. She balances warmth and fun with structure and good judgment.

And she is genuinely FUN to be around! Grace is jovial, always laughing, and loved by the kids, other nannies, and parents in the neighborhood. We know just how much people adore her because they constantly told us! She even came out to cheer on one of the dads in the neighborhood when he ran the marathon. She loves walking, enjoys taking the kids on neighborhood adventures, and is comfortable navigating public transportation when needed.

Most importantly, Grace is fiercely protective of the children in her care. She is attentive, vigilant, and thoughtful about their safety. We always had peace of mind knowing she was looking out for our kids and putting their well-being first. She is careful, responsible, and never takes their safety for granted.

We also want to share that we found Grace through another family’s recommendation on Mommy Bites, and that family had only glowing things to say about her. She still keeps in touch with them today! The other family I spoke with during our search also gave her an enthusiastic recommendation: “HIRE HER NOW!”

We could not be more grateful for the 13 years Grace spent with our family. She became a trusted, beloved part of our lives, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to another family looking for a caring, responsible, organized, fun, and exceptionally reliable nanny.

To Whom It May Concern,

I highly recommend this dedicated and caring nanny, who comes from a medical background and is CPR-certified and medically trained. She is experienced in establishing daily routines for babies, preparing nutritious meals, organizing playdates, singing, and engaging children in fun, educational activities.

She is punctual, dependable, patient, understanding, and an excellent communicator. She prioritizes children’s safety, comfort, and development while maintaining a structured and loving environment. I believe she would be a wonderful addition to any family.

Hello Mommy Bites community!

I’m happy to recommend our former nanny, Jocy! She has 8+ years of experience and cared for our children with so much warmth, patience, and dependability. She’s easy to communicate with, attentive to the kids’ needs, and experienced with infants and toddlers.

Why we love Jocy:

– Warm, reliable, and easy to work with
– Experienced with infants, toddlers, and nanny shares
– Supportive of developmental milestones, teething, and nap transitions
– CPR & First Aid certified and fully vaccinated
– Fluent in English and a native Spanish speaker who naturally incorporates Spanish into daily routines, our toddler even started singing in Spanish!

Jocy also works as a home organizer on the side, so she’s great at decluttering, organizing and leaving spaces feeling refreshed and tidy. She’s moving from California to New York in late October/early November and will be looking for a part or full time, live in or live out position.

We truly enjoyed having Jocy as part of our family and would highly recommend her to another family. Feel free to message me to connect with her!

Dania is looking for a full-time nanny in Manhattan or lower Westchester,She got fantastic references. Please reach out directly for more information.

I am recommending our nanny because she is a very caring person, loves children and has become part of my family. She is always engaging my child to do different activities; she takes him outside on walks, the park, the zoo.
When it’s raining or snowing outside, she will make sure that my child has a great day by going to the library or indoor playground. I love that she plans daily activities for my child and has a consistent schedule; also she communicates the daily schedule to me. My child is always happy to see her and is a very social child because she makes sure to socialize when they are outside.
Also she is very mindful about feeding; when my child started to eat solids she cooked healthy meals. In addition she cleans up after him and does his laundry. She is always reliable and consistent with my child’s care. I’m assured that my child is very well taken care of and always happy to know about his day. She became part of our family very quickly and we are so sad that my child is now going to school and we are moving out of state. I highly recommend Maria!

Throughout her time with us, Charmaine proved to be exceptionally trustworthy, patient, and loving toward our daughter, always prioritizing her developmental needs and well-being. Beyond her wonderful caregiving skills, she is consistently punctual, offers thoughtful and sound parenting advice based on her experience, and goes above and beyond by assisting with cooking and keeping our home clean and organized. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Charmaine.

We are delighted to recommend our nanny, Sandra Scotland to the Mommybites community. Sandra joined our family when our son was 4-months old and has been with us for a little over a year. When you hire Sandra, you are hiring more than a babysitter / nanny that will pass the time with your child, you are also getting an educator and professional partner that will consult with you about your child’s development.

With more than 25+ years of childcare experience, Sandra has experience working with newborns to pre-teens. She is comfortable working with multiple children including twins and has a strong baseline of when and how children should be meeting their development milestones. This past year, Sandra has provided valuable insight for us re: baby-led weaning, first steps, speech development, and potty training.

Sandra consistently holds herself to professional standards. She is punctual and will openly communicate with us about how the day went with our son. She respects our decision to be screen-free and does not use her phone when our son is awake. She is open to doing additional household chores that are connected to our son’s care, such as washing his dishes after his meals or folding his laundry.

While Sandra is staying with us part-time, we would love for her to find another family that she can grow with. Please directly connect with her at (347) 755-2544 or sandrascotland50@gmail.com if you believe she may be a good fit for your family.

I am an experienced nanny/baby sitter who loves children, who finds happiness witnessing the kids I take care grow-up into well behaved children, learning how to sing and recite poems and become independent as they grow. I am reliable, shows on time, safety conscious, patient, respectful. Flexible and communicates well in English. I am ready when you are ready for a baby sitter/nanny.

Esmeralda es mexicana
muy dedicada a su trabajo es una persona muy cariñosa, respetuosa, amable, su prioridad es el bienestar de los niños, hace que su entorno sea un lugar seguro

Our nanny has been a wonderful and trusted part of our family for the past 3.5 years, caring for our daughter since she was 2. She is calm, confident, experienced, and incredibly dependable. She has a great balance of being hands-on and engaged with our daughter while also helping with household tasks and keeping things running smoothly. She values clear communication, consistency, and structure, and we have always appreciated her thoughtful and reliable approach to childcare.

We are moving out of state, which is the only reason we are saying goodbye. We feel very lucky to have had her in our family and would love to help connect her with a new family where she can be just as valued. We’re moving by end of the month but she would be available to start as soon as possible.

Norissa has been with us since our son was 6 months old and has been an incredibly loving, playful, and steady presence in his life. He runs to the door as soon as he hears her come in! From our very first interaction, it was clear that she deeply cares for and loves children. Her strong knowledge of child- development, paired with her warmth and playfulness, has encouraged our son through each milestone. She also helped us with several difficult issues, including a strong solids aversion and sleep struggles.
I’ve had the privilege of seeing how she shows up with my son everyday, and she is always fully present and focused on him: playing, singing, talking, reading, and laughing with him. She takes him on daily outings to the park and playground, brings him to classes, and has even helped him find friends in the neighborhood to have playdates with! She’s also been very helpful with meal preparation, organization and maintaining his space.
She is extremely reliable and dependable and has always accommodated our changing schedules or additional hours when needed.
I truly could not recommend Norissa enough, her expertise and care were simply amazing and I know that a new family will be very lucky to work with her.
