We are so excited to recommend our former incredible nanny, Melissa, to a new family through Mommybites!
Melissa was an essential part of our family, she brings over 24 years of hands-on childcare experience with children ranging from as young as 6 weeks old through the early teen years. She is not only deeply nurturing and attentive, but also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to child development, routines, and milestones. As a mother of three adult daughters, she brings both professional expertise and real-life parenting wisdom into every home she enters.
Melissa arrives each day with a happy, energetic disposition, ready to get the day started. She is a true self-starter, and the children naturally gravitate toward her. She has a gift for creating a warm, loving, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and truly seen. From introducing solids and managing sleep regressions to potty training and navigating toddler transitions, she approaches every stage with patience, confidence, and care.
She is dependable, proactive, and fully invested in the well-being of the children she cares for. Melissa takes initiative in assuming all responsibilities related to the children, including meal prep, organizing schedules, planning engaging activities, and ensuring each child’s emotional and developmental needs are met. She also helps with light household tasks, which she consistently initiates on her own without needing direction.
Melissa is a true team player—direct, transparent, and communicative with parents—making her not only an exceptional caregiver for children but also a strong support system for the entire family. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of her role, bringing dedication, warmth, and professionalism into the home. Most importantly, she treats the children as if they were her own—with genuine love and care.
Melissa is currently available part time through June and full time beginning mid September, and she’s looking to join a new family where she can continue to offer her exceptional care and become a trusted, support system.
Any family would be truly lucky to have her. Please feel free to reach out for more details or a direct reference. We cannot recommend her enough!!
She is loving, caring,
happy, responsible and reliable. She is amazing at engaging children at different age groups, arranging play dates with my son’s friends, very friendly with my sons friends and parents, helped with potty training, and helped him learn his numbers and letters. She created a routine schedule of learning and creative play for my son. Anyone who knows or works with children knows routine is key and she excelled. She has all the attributes you look for in a nanny.
I had the absolute pleasure of having Mediour Mdengue care for my daughter for three years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most exceptional childcare providers I have ever met.
From the very beginning, Mediour created a safe, loving, and structured environment where my daughter truly thrived. She treated my child as if she were her own—always attentive, patient, and deeply nurturing. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is in capable and caring hands, and Mediour consistently exceeded my expectations.
Her experience truly shows in everything she does. Whether it was managing daily routines, preparing meals, supporting early learning, or simply providing emotional comfort, she handled every situation with professionalism and warmth. My daughter developed beautifully under her care—socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
What sets Mediour apart is her reliability and genuine dedication. She was always punctual, trustworthy, and flexible with our family’s needs. Her calm demeanor and natural ability to connect with children made a lasting impact on our household.
Even after three years, we still consider Mediour part of our family. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a highly experienced, dependable, and compassionate childcare provider.
Please feel free to contact me for further reference—I would be more than happy to share more about our wonderful experience.
Exceptional nanny available for nights or/and weekends childcare
Our wonderful French nanny and daughter’s best friend is now available to make the nights and/ or weekends of a new lucky and loving families easier!
Didi was a dream come true for our family and it’s a great pleasure to highly recommend her to her new loving families as we moving out of town.
She has 15 years of experience working with children of all ages and she’s incredibly patient, loving and amazing with our baby.
She has been taking care of her since she was 3 months old and she’s 4 years old now.
Hiring Didi in 2022 was the best decision ever made for our family. She’s energetic, attentive, kind, responsible and extremely reliable when it comes to keeping our girl healthy and safe.
For 4 years, our girl has been well-fed, carefully bathed, toilet trained, nap trained, entertained, loved, cuddled everyday. We always felt completely secure with leaving our daughter, our first and only child in her care.
Didi has made our girl’s life full and fun by engaging with her in multiple activities and by organizing play dates, story times, music times, painting, etc. with the other nannies of the neighborhood in order to encourage her to speak, play and interact socially with others. The results on our girl is amazing. Thanks to her special skills and approach to caring for our girl, she’s smart, curious, happy, confident, well mannered and totally fluent in both French and English.
She cooked the most delicious healthy meals for our daughter and our apartment was always spotless as she light cleaned after her.
Didi has a great sense of communication, she respected our personal parenting style but was also confident enough to independently make day to day decisions regarding our girl. We deeply value her extraordinary calm and patience with our child. Our girl absolutely love her, she runs every morning at the door to welcome Didi with excitement, joy and hugs.
She has been such a great contribution to our family and we’re so grateful for all the ways she’s made our life easier!
Please, take note that Didi is fully vaccinated and covid cautious and that she is willing to help families primarily at nights or/and weekends.
Feel free to reach out to her directly through her phone number 347-907-7639. I’m also standing ready to sing more her praises. Contact me for further information at gigilene10@gmail.com
Alexandra is a highly qualified registered nurse with 5 years pediatric experience (including 2 years in the ICU caring for newborns to elementary aged children). She also worked for 4 years as a nanny during her college years, returning to the family on and off when they needed help.
She is kind, nurturing, and provides attentive and responsive care rooted in attachment based principles.
She is looking for work primarily on the weekend but is also open to overnight nurse nanny positions!
Is happy to chat and discuss whatever arrangements work best for the family.
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.
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 full time position in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Please reach out to her via phone or myself (email preferable) for any inquiries – happy to talk as her reference. Any family would be lucky to have her!
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 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.
