Find a Brooklyn Nanny

Allie is an extremely caring nanny, who has worked with our family for the past three years. She joined us when our second child was 11 months old. Since then, our family has grown to three children, who are now 20 months to nearly 6 years old. During this time, she has regularly cared for multiple children at different ages and stages. Prior to working with us, she had over 20+ years of experience taking care of children.

She has worked more than 50 hours per week with us, typically caring for two children and often all three. She is organized and attentive, and she manages the different routines and needs of the children well. It is no small task managing all the different school pick up / drop offs, activities, play dates, etc., that come with looking after three small kids.

In addition to childcare, she helps keep our household running smoothly. She assists with laundry and does an exceptional job keeping our house clean, as well as other daily tasks that come with having young children. She is dependable and takes initiative when things need to be done. She has also made herself available for evenings and weekends when our schedule required it.

She has been a caring and loving presence for our children and we appreciate the support she has provided to our family. We remain very close with her and intend to stay close for years to come.

We are saying goodbye to our nanny, Asha, as our son has transitioned to full-time daycare. Asha has been with us for over one year (since he was 4-months old) but has helped other families ranging from a period of 3 to 15 years, is still in contact and very much loved by the children and families she’s helped. She is experienced with babies and older kids, kind and responsible.

As a first-time mom, I was nervous to entrust my newborn to anyone but after speaking with Asha over the phone and meeting in person, she quickly eased any concerns. She’s warm, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares for your child. Below are a few things that make her a great addition to any family:

– Patient & Nurturing: She treats children with patience, love, and genuine care. Our son was not the easiest with nap time nor starting solids but she took the time to follow his cues, acknowledging that each child has a different temperament, while encouraging milestone development

– Values & Manners: As our son began babbling and working on language skills, she was intentional about teaching kindness (ex: always saying hi, bye, thank you)

– Social Support: She took our son to play spaces and music classes, as well as facilitated playdates with a few nannies/children she became close with

– Dependable: She was always punctual and reliable. She sent pictures throughout the day and provided updates when I came home after work – most importantly, you could see our son was safe and happy

We’re happy to answer any questions you might have!

Our wonderful nanny, Sherry who’s been with our family since our daughter, Harriet was four months old, will be available starting April 2026.

We are going to miss Sherry enormously! She has helped our Harriet develop beautifully within a loving, calm, enthusiastic social environment, treating our family (and dog!) like her own. She is reliable, professional, and has an uncanny ability to understand and entertain little ones that seems to come easily to her that’s amazing to witness.

My wife is now able to spend her full time at home with Harriet, and Sherry’s helped her and I both establish a good routine with Harriet’s care. While we no longer need full-time childcare support, saying goodbye to Sherry is very bittersweet, and we feel beyond grateful for having found her.

We are both more than happy to chat about our experience with Sherry and speak to her qualifications and expertise. My (Jon) cell is 914-500-5866 and wife Anastasia’s cell is 203-524-3795, and please feel free to reach out to either of us. Cheers!

We said goodbye to our beloved nanny, Nadine, as we moved, and we’re still hoping to help her find the amazing family she deserves. She has experience working with all age groups.
Nadine is so much more than a nanny-she’s loving, proactive, and incredibly skilled at fostering a child’s growth.
She helped raise our daughter into a confident, bilingual (French/English) little girl, all while filling her days with adventure, learning, joy., and lots of outdoor time.
She sets thoughtful boundaries with patience, cooks incredible meals, and brings warmth and structure into the home. Any family would be lucky to have her—we know we were
Feel free to contact her at 917-651-9519

I am pleased to provide this reference for Norissa , who has worked with our family and provided exceptional care for our child. She demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and dedication to his over all care and wellbeing.
She has over 10 years of experience working with children, including those who require individualized support and specialized care. She has a remarkable ability to connect with children of different personalities, learning styles, and developmental needs. Her patience, empathy, and calm demeanor has created a safe and supportive environment where our child can thrive.
While working with our family, she assisted with maintaining his routines, developmental activities, educational play, and emotional support. She showed great skill in adapting activities and communication styles to meet our child’s unique needs. Her ability to remain attentive, organized, and nurturing even in challenging situations was truly impressive.
Beyond her professional skills, she is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about supporting children’s growth and well-being. She consistently communicated with us about our child’s progress and worked collaboratively with our family to maintain a stable and positive environment.
I highly recommend Norissa to any family seeking a compassionate and experienced nanny. She would be a wonderful addition to any household.
Feel free to reach out to her directly.

Dear Sir or Madam,
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.

Sincerely,
Francis Power

Pearl has been an incredible nanny for us. Her patience is endless and her love for our children (turning 6 and 2) is undeniable. She is kind, warm, thoughtful and flexible beyond measure. Pearl started with us when our youngest was just a few months old. Immediately they shared a bond which she constantly nurtures. She is very well-versed with the needs of a newborn and has been able to seamlessly balance the needs of our older son as well (which can be quite different!) The love Pearl has for both of our children and vice versa is evident with the big and small gestures they all make to each other daily.

She is a constant for them even when our family schedule can be unpredictable. With ease and grace, Pearl has been able to accommodate many changes to our schedule due to doctor appointments, sicknesses, afterschool clubs, etc. When our needs changed and we asked Pearl to pivot to different responsibilities, she did so seamlessly and without any hesitation.

Pearl is energetic and able to wrangle our wild children at all times. She loves spending as much time as possible outdoors and does not shy away from daily long walks no matter how inclement the weather may be. She gives our children her full attention and is able to gently re-direct them when their behavior warrants.

Our children will be very sad to see Pearl move on to her next, lucky family (and we fear telling them!)

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.

Vicky was with us for 15 years. She has been with us since our oldest was 9months old, and she is truly a blessing! We have 3 daughters, all who refer to her as “mama Vicky” She is kind, caring, patient, always on time, and is just the best nanny there is. She did the girls laundry and sometimes prepared meals for them. She did light cleaning and was always willing and able to help. She was with us through Covid and other life changing events. She is trained in infant and toddler CPR and has taken a course in child care! She is simply the best!!! Any family that gains Vicky is gaining an angel!

Hi Mommybites Community,

I am posting to share that our phenomenal nanny, Sherry will be available starting March 2026.

With nearly 30 years of experience caring for newborns, infants and toddlers, Sherry is truly a seasoned professional who brings warmth, attentiveness, and deep expertise to her role. Sherry has been with our family since our baby daughter Harriet was four months old, and has helped her develop into the wonderful one year old she is today in a loving, calm and healthy environment and with an intuitive understanding of Harriet’s caretaking needs.

Sherry is always punctual, reliable and communicative, and treats our family like her own. She is fabulous with keeping young kids entertained and was a warm and kind presence in the house at all times. Her approach is thoughtful and deeply nurturing, and her extensive experience gives her an intuitive understanding and grasp of the needs of young children, fostering our daughter’s growth with genuine support and warmth.

We are going to miss Sherry enormously, and feel deeply grateful for having her in Harriet and our lives this past year. I will be taking an extended time off from work to be able to spend my full time at home with Harriet, and as such, will no longer need full-time childcare support. We are so excited for the family that is lucky enough to have Sherry in your lives and caring for your little ones. She remains so friendly and close to the past families she has worked with, all of whom are happy to provide additional recommendations and speak to Sherry’s qualifications.

Simply put, Sherry is exceptional. Her dedication, experience, and genuine love for children set her apart, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dependable nanny.

Please feel free to contact me over phone or email to chat further. Cheers!

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!

We have worked with our wonderful nanny Lupe for the past three years and we wholeheartedly recommend her for a full time nanny position as our family needs have changed.

Lupe is an incredibly attentive, kind, and loving person. She is reliable, punctual, and hard working. We first met her in January of 2023 when our daughter was about four months old and she helped me transition back to work and managed pumped breastmilk. She helped us through every stage including bottle feeding, transitioning to solid food, naptimes, and potty training.

She will be a wonderful addition to any family and we would be more than happy to share our positive experience with any prospective employers.

Lisa is smart, savvy, CLEAN, and she has a wonderful way with children of all ages. She also gets along with the whole family from grand parents to kids. She worked for us for 13 years, starting when my first born was an infant, and my children love her like she is their family.

Lisa is exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, demonstrating both smarts and practical savvy in her approach to childcare. She takes pride in maintaining a clean and organized environment, ensuring that the spaces where children play and learn are always tidy and welcoming. Her ability to connect with children of all ages is truly remarkable, as she adapts her care and communication style to meet each child’s unique needs.

Beyond her relationship with the children, Lisa also interacts seamlessly with every member of the family. She fosters positive relationships not just with the kids, but also with grandparents and other relatives, making her an integral part of the household dynamic. Her friendly and respectful demeanor helps cultivate a harmonious atmosphere within the family, further highlighting her exceptional interpersonal skills.

During the children’s infancy, she maintained an organized feeding and nap schedule. During our vetting process, we paid her to come in and work a “try out” day. Within 4 hours on the job, she organized my son’s room, found clothes I didn’t know he had and had him a feeding and nap schedule. I told my husband to cancel the other finalist try out days. She was that good! Some other things I so appreciated about her in the early years were that she regularly read to my children. I think she holds the record of reading my son’s favorite book to him over and over at more than 22 times (that was my “max” for Max the Minnow). Lisa took them for walks in the stroller, and accompanied them to music and tumbling classes. As they progressed in age, she ensured their safe transit to and from school, prepared meals and snacks, and assisted with homework.

She demonstrates exceptional diligence and planning skills, consistently ensuring punctuality for the children’s appointments. Her efficiency is notable—she manages cleaning, dressing, and bathing tasks swiftly and thoroughly.
Her culinary abilities are outstanding; the children highly appreciate her traditional dishes. I think her food helped the develop the diverse food palate they have today. She has proven to be an invaluable sous chef and follows recipes accurately, with the ability to prepare a wide range of meals.

Her guidance helped me develop organizational skills and improved my approach to parenting. I regard her as a childcare colleague who continuously demonstrated best practices rather than simply completing assigned tasks. I confidently recommend her to any family, as she is capable of managing multiple children, including infants. New mothers in particular will benefit from her extensive experience. On her first day, she reorganized my son’s room for greater practicality, identified clothing that had gone unnoticed, and implemented a more effective feeding schedule. With her support, I felt fully assured returning to work, knowing my children were in capable hands.

We are moving from the NY area and cannot bring her with us, but I know I will miss her everyday even though my oldest is now starting high school.

EXCELLENT NANNY FOR MY KIDS VERY KIND AND LOVING AND TRUSTWORTHY WOMEN I RELLY REFFER HER 100%WITH 35 YEARS EXPERIENCIA IN CHILDCARE AND HOUSEKEEPING

We’ve known Lupe for nearly 15 years—since our eldest was a baby. It’s impossible to describe how great she is and how much better she’s made our lives. Our parent friends point out that we’re lucky to have her. We know.

Lupe is:
-Loving. Refers to our kids as “my babies.”
-Motivated to get the kids out of the house. Takes the kids on trips to the library, museum, playground and for walks around the neighborhood.
-Fun. She draws, plays hide-and-seek, creates with playdough.
-So hard working. She often cleans while my youngest naps. We rarely even see her sit down and she’s never on her phone.
-Thoughtful and easy going.
-Great with kids of all ages. We have 3 kids and she’s one of the only people who can handle them all at once. (And will even welcome an additional child if someone wants to bring a friend on an adventure.)
-Punctual, reliable. Never late.
-Bilingual.
-A great mom herself. She has two lovely, nearly grown daughters.

Lupe takes her job really seriously and we hope to connect her with another family who will value her the way we do.

I am so happy to recommend Sharon Collins as a nanny. Sharon is one of the kindest, most patient, and loving people I have ever met. Sharon cared for our son from when he was 6 months old until he was two years old. During this time, Sharon was such an amazing resource for us as new parents. She has many years of experience with babies and young children, including infants. Our son was a preemie, so we were particularly selective in choosing our caregiver – and Sharon exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Sharon truly views childcare as a vocation, and it shows. She is reliable, trustworthy, and so very knowledgeable about babies. She makes friends wherever she goes, and was always able to find new activities and arrange play dates for our son.

Sharon is looking to bring her expertise to a new family. She would prefer to work in Brooklyn, but would be open to working in Manhattan for the right family.

My Incredible Nanny Is Available For Work As Soon As Possible. Sunita comes highly recommended, she has over twenty-five years of experience, she’s very honest and reliable, she is able to travel both domestically and internationally, if you’re looking for an exceptional addition to your family, Sunita will be a great fit, as she’s super helpful and is an Awesome Nanny.

Antoinette was our baby nurse / newborn care specialist for 14 weeks after our son (third child) was born. She was excellent and made my postpartum period so much easier. She cares for all things baby related – circumcision care, supported my breast feeding, bottle and breast pump washing, got our baby sleep trained very quickly (sleeping through the night by about 10 weeks), maintained baby’s hygiene, fixing his cradle cap, etc. Did his laundry, kept his things organized, alerting us when we needed to order something, pulled out age appropriate toys, did tummy time, helped him learn to roll over, etc.

In addition she was great with my 2 year old and 4 year old, letting them feel involved in the process of caring for the baby. She truly felt like family by the end of the 14 weeks. She came referred to us by another family friend, she has about 6+ years of experience in this role and many great references. I am happy to be a reference or speak to anyone considering hiring her.

We would like to recommend our former nanny Tracy who has been a loving and protective caregiver to our daughter.
Tracy is very experienced with children of various ages and is very “city smart” being around a city with a child.
She was also receptive to our feedback and we had an open line of communication between her and parents.
Tracy just finished with another family and it is looking for her next role.
