Yolanda has been a part of our family for 6 years. She is vibrant, energetic, funny, always laughing and singing with our girls and playing games with them. She has warmed up our home with her cheerful presence. I’ve grown accustomed to other people who have seen her in the street with my daughters telling me how lucky I am :).
In addition, she is responsible, hard-working, on time and flexible. She has a social network of nannies and was able to give our girls plenty of connection with other children. Also if there was ever a time when she wasn’t going to be able to come in, she would find someone within her network for backup care. It was like having a village to lean on. She has really been amazing for us. Yolanda is primarily Spanish speaking but speaks some English.
UNICORN FULL TIME NANNY AVAILABLE IN NEW YEAR.
Rosie has been incredible with our daughter over the past 2.5 years— warm, fun, loving, and nurturing, but also comfortable setting boundaries and providing structure when needed.
She has decades of experience and has only worked with long-term families (including us — she’s been with our family for almost 3 years). She’s organized, safety-focused, and really engaged with our child throughout the day. She reads with our daughter, plays with her, and challenges her in thoughtful, age-appropriate ways — she truly treats our daughter like her own. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the kids she works with.

RECOMMENDATION:
Kristie has been an integral part of our family for over four years. During that time, she has proven to be a reliable, warm, and trusted caregiver for our two children.
Kristie joined our family when our daughter was almost one year old. Kristie provided full service care from day one — changing diapers, naps, food prep and feeding, attending various baby classes and scheduling play dates. Kristie was instrumental in helping our daughter develop into the fun, creative, and thoughtful five year old she is today. Kristie’s calm demeanor has also been an important, positive, and stable influence on our son, whom she has cared for together with our daughter everyday.
Both of our children are currently in school until 2:30pm. Kristie prepares snacks for them and organizes their afterschool needs (sports equipment, mostly) before school pickup. From there, Kristie shuttles them to their after school activities before heading home for homework, bath and cool down play before dinner. During summer vacation or days when there is no school, Kristie often takes our children on excursions to Coney Island, the Brooklyn Acquarium, and both the Central Park and Prospect Park Zoos, traveling safely together on the bus or subway each way. Kristie also does the children’s laundry each week.
Our children developed a special bond with Kristie over the years and we are sad to part ways with her. We know, however, that our loss will be another family’s gain.
We were very fortunate to have Kristie as part of our lives and confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated and trustworthy caregiver.
Hello/ Salam parents ,
a nanny we worked with for over years and whom we and our son adore is available for babysitting jobs. We can’t recommend her enough, she started watching my son when he was 26 days old and he (and we) considered her as another family member. He still talks about her daily and it’s been several months since she was his caretaker.
She is based in Queens New York but willing to travel, is available starting in late march and open to live in and live out
She speaks fluent English and hindi also Urdu and Bengali . She is extremely caring, compassionate and very proactive with kids. She used to take my son to activities everyday, help with meals and do some light housework when needed.
Please feel free to DM me for her contact info or any questions you might have.
It breaks my heart to have to write this. Adi has become a part of our family, but we unfortunately need to move out of state for my husband’s job. We want Adi to end up with a kind and considerate family. She is truly the best and any family would be lucky to have her!
Adi is absolutely wonderful with kids and babies. She brought in a fresh energy to our house, and is always thinking of fun activities for our 9 month old. She provides helpful suggestions, which are so appreciated as first-time parents, and is always respectful in our home. Adi 100% takes care of all our son’s needs during the week – meal prep, laundry, cleaning up, etc – and is always playing with him, singing silly songs, etc. Our son had terrible reflux when she started, and I was worried that would scare her off (he would throw up on everything, and was often uncomfortable/fussy), but Adi was always so sweet with him. She would just snuggle and provide comfort.
Now that he is older, she is always thinking about ways to expand his play. With her outgoing and friendly personality, she easily made nanny friends and expanded our son’s play group.
She is truly amazing – kind, considerate, friendly, and smart. If I could have her move with us, I would!
$28/hr + 1.5x overtime – she is worth it, trust me! Always happy to answer any questions.
We are happy to share our wonderful experience working with Juliana. She’s 28 years old, she brings a combination of experience, maturity, warmth, and professionalism. Juliana is fluent in English and Spanish, and has been working with children since she was 17, giving her over ten years of hands-on experience with little ones between 4 months to 14 years old.
Juliana truly enjoys working with kids. She is patient, joyful, and incredibly attentive, always tuning in to each child’s needs and personality. She keeps our children engaged with thoughtful activities that spark learning, creativity, and exploration, whether indoors or at the park. Her background in teaching is evident in the way she encourages curiosity and supports their development every day.
Juliana has been a huge help around our home. She is happy to cook simple, healthy meals, keep things organized, and assist with light cleaning. She approaches every task with reliability and initiative, often taking care of things before we even have to ask.
Juliana is dependable, communicative, and respectful. We trust her completely, and she has become an important part of our family’s routine. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. We would gladly provide references to speak further about her wonderful work.
We recommend Juliana wholeheartedly and we know she will bring the same warmth, dedication, and professionalism to any family she works with.
Nellie is a dedicated, hard working, and caring nanny with at least 30 years of experience with children of all age groups, including helping us raise our now 15 y/o twins from birth well into the teenage years. She will always come in early and quietly get the day started, will stay late without hesitation, and is exceedingly flexible on weekends and holidays. She excels at infant and toddler care, where her loving nature really shines through. She is trustworthy, kind and resourceful. She has been quite flexible in assuming new tasks as the children have grown, including light housework, shopping, and dog walking. She has become an integrated part of our family, and we will miss her greatly.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Janine Boucher, who has been with our family for the past 4.5 years. Janine joined us when our son was two years old and I was pregnant with our first daughter, and she has lovingly cared for all 3 of our kids (the girls since they were just three months old.) She has truly become part of our family.
Janine is punctual and dependable—in over four years, she has called in sick only once. She respects our routines and parenting preferences, follows our schedule seamlessly, and always communicates clearly and kindly.
Beyond her professionalism, Janine is a joyful, loving, and deeply engaged caregiver. She is playful, imaginative, and fun—she reads, sings, makes up games, and truly plays with the kids. She spends hours outdoors with them every day and never uses her phone except to send me sweet photos or updates. Our children absolutely adore her, and she loves them as if they were her own.
We feel so lucky to have had Janine as part of our lives during these formative years. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can share more about our wonderful experience.
Warmly,
Megan Sufka
It is with a heavy heart we are transitioning from our nanny, Channel, who has been our son’s only caretaker. We would keep Channel, but she needs full time work, and we are putting our son in preschool.
It was obvious from the first time we met Channel that she was the best person for our son. She got on the floor and interacted with him on his level. She is playful, silly, and encouraging which has allowed our son to thrive and be a confident little toddler. He adores Channel and she has become a part of the family.
She’s helped us through many milestones – crawling, walking, eating solids, changing nap schedules, etc. and has been flexible when we are running late from work or making up hours in a week.
Channel respects our wishes but will speak up for our son when needed. She is proactive in telling us if he falls, seems a bit sick, or any changes she might have noticed.
Channel has more than 10+ years of experience nannying for multiple families and most recently for families in the Brooklyn Heights area. She has a great community here and is attuned to all the activities whether it be at the library or Hopalong Andrew at Cadmen but has nannied in other locations.
Happy to discuss more details. Any family would be lucky to have Channel. Note: she prefers her phone to email.
Fernanda was our nanny for thirteen years, since my youngest son was born. She was an absolutely terrific nanny and all-round help during those years, and she effectively became a family member. She loved our kids as much as we did, and looked after them as if they were her own. She is responsible, resourceful, helpful and loving, and extremely trustworthy. Both of my kids are now grown and she is looking for a full-time job. She works very hard, and is willing to do what she is asked – she always did house cleaning and cooking for the kids for us, as well as taking them wherever they needed to go. She is excellent with newborns as well as toddlers and young kids, and she was also great with them as they grew up too. I highly recommend her. 100% responsible in every way.
We are heartbroken to be saying goodbye to our amazing nanny, Eyon, who has been a true blessing to our family. She’s been with us caring for our two children (ages and 10), and we can’t say enough good things about her. Eyon is loving, patient, and incredibly responsible. She has a wonderful way with children our kids absolutely adore her and she’s been such positive calm, and dependable presence in our home. She’s punctual, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond to make sure the kids are happy, safe, and engaged.
We’re only parting ways because of a change in our work situation – not because of anything she’s done.
Any family would be lucky to have her. She’s available to start as soon as needed, and we’re happy to speak direct with any interested families to share more about our experience working, her. If you’re looking for a kind, capable and caring nanny, Eyon is truly exceptional.
Contact: Eyon Noel, 347-792-9966, eyon1211@gmail.com
I’m posting on behalf of our wonderful nanny who is now looking for a new family, as we are sadly relocating. She has been with us for 5 years, caring for our daughter from 3 months old, and has over 20 years of nanny experience.
She is loving, dependable, always punctual, and truly became part of our family. She’s CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and speaks English. She keeps routines well, engages kids in meaningful play, and is gentle but firm when needed.
She is seeking a full-time, live-out position and is available ASAP.
If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing, feel free to contact me directly at 917-349-4380. I’d be happy to answer questions or connect you.
Warmly,
Onica Cave
Jewell is an experienced nanny who took care of our children for a total of five years, until they were both in school full-time. Since both parents worked long hours away from home, it was important for us to have someone who was reliable and dedicated to the children. She almost never missed a day and always found things for the children to do in the neighborhood, often discovering things we never knew of. She made meals for the children, did laundry, ordered the food they needed and arranged playdates, easily making friends with other nannies in the neighborhood and through school. Jewell is energetic and loves being outside and taking the children for long walks. She is also a great cook and made meals for the family when we had our second child and had limited time. When my eldest was in school, Jewell was comfortable taking the train or bus with the baby to pick him up and bring them both home from school. She also would occasionally bring them to appointments when we were unavailable. It was a seamless experience. We moved to New Jersey during the pandemic and this was a difficult commute.
Daniella has been our nanny for the past two years and we are regretfully partying ways end of December as our youngest is starting full time school. Daniella is an excellent nanny who is always positive, caring, engaging & patient with our very energetic kids. Our kids adore her – she takes them to all sorts of fun activities around NYC & Brooklyn plays with them in the house on a rainy day, arts & crafts, reading, singing, hide and seek – they have so much fun with her and are always so excited when she walks through the door. Daniella is a confident driver which I have found to be SO helpful, doing pick ups and driving our kids all over Brooklyn & Manhattan. She is a brilliant cook – has made my kids healthy and home cooked meals everyday. We’ve traveled with Daniella internationally and she is always excited to go away with the family and is a great swimmer. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

It is with both deep gratitude and a touch of sadness that we write this recommendation for our beloved nanny, Julie, who has been an integral part of our family for the past 13 years. From the moment she joined us, she became more than just a nanny—she became a second mother to our children and a trusted member of our household.
When we had our first child, Julie was there to guide us through those early, challenging days with patience, kindness, and unwavering support. Over the years, as our family grew to three children, she has been nothing short of amazing. Her ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs, moods, and stages of development has been truly remarkable. Whether it’s a sudden change in plans, a child’s emotional outburst, or a last-minute schedule change, Julie remains calm, collected, and flexible, always putting the needs of the children first.
Her excellent communication skills are one of her many strengths. She is adept at conveying important information, asking insightful questions, and listening attentively, ensuring that everyone is on the same page at all times. Her thoughtful approach to communication fosters a strong partnership between her and us as parents, as well as with the children, who feel heard and respected.
Safety has always been a top priority, and we have complete trust in Julie’s judgment when it comes to keeping our children safe. She is newborn-certified and has an exceptional awareness of potential hazards. She is proactive in identifying risks and takes preventative measures to avoid accidents, giving us peace of mind knowing our children are in such capable hands.
In addition to her childcare expertise, Julie is also highly skilled in home organization. Whether it’s tidying up the playroom, organizing closets, pantries, or other areas of the house, she has an incredible knack for maintaining an orderly, functional space. Her attention to detail and organizational skills have been invaluable to our family.
One of the qualities we appreciate most about Julie is her reliability. She has never been late and has always been dependable, no matter the circumstances. Her calm demeanor and ability to stay level-headed in stressful situations have helped us navigate many of the challenges that come with raising young children.
While we are incredibly sad to see her leave, as our children are now older and no longer require a full-time nanny, we are confident that her next family will be just as lucky to have her, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and highly skilled caregiver.
Please feel free to reach out to ask me any questions or to discuss further.
Mariame was our twins’ baby nurse and then our nanny for three more years. When we had our twins, we already had two small children, aged two and four. There are no words to describe how overwhelmed we were by the prospect of taking care of two newborns, a toddler and a preschooler. I can honestly say that it is thanks to Marieme that our family not only survived but thrived during this demanding and challenging time. Marieme is loving, highly intelligent and thoughtful. She is constantly thinking and trying to understand a child’s behavior and needs. By the time our twins were four months’ old, they were eating beautifully and sleeping all night. Marieme was able to get them to that point with minimal crying. Marieme has endless patience with both babies and older children. Though she was there for the twins, my other children became attached to her very quickly. She is gentle, kind, and steadfast in her efforts, while also being incredibly reliable and responsible. Marieme is one of the most genuine people I have ever known and she is an exceptional nanny.

RECOMMENDATION:
Our family is moving out of New York in February, and one of the hardest parts will be saying goodbye to Samantha, our incredible nanny. She has spent more time with our son than any other person aside from us, and has been the most loving, steady, joyful presence in his life for the past two years. She is an exceptional caregiver, far, far exceeding our expectations. To say that she has made our lives easier is an understatement. She has become an extension of our family.
Samantha is warm, extremely reliable, and the biggest champion and cheerleader of our son’s growth and development. She works with an abundance of common sense, energy, and genuine kindness. Instantly, upon their first meeting, she put our son at ease, and he has been laughing and learning with her ever since. She’s seen him grow from infant to toddler, was there with us when he took his first steps, supported his transition from milk to solids, encouraged his babbles to full, compound sentences, and gave him the self-assurance to dance and sing out loud. She’s taught him nursery rhymes, the alphabet, counting, days of the week. They’ve ridden subways, buses, cars, and taken miles-long walks together. All this in English and Spanish.
We truly feel like a team. Sam listens thoughtfully to our parenting preferences and routines and gently offers her own insightful observations and advice. She emphasizes safety and consistency, and sets clear, kind boundaries. She’s natively bilingual (English and Spanish) and speaks in Spanish with our son at our request, which has been such a gift.
Sam is punctual and has been wonderfully flexible when our work schedules shift. Her responsibilities include childcare, helping with meals, and she also goes above and beyond, tidying up or washing dishes without being asked. She’s tech-savvy, sends daily updates and photos, and keeps our shared family album full of priceless moments. She’s currently helping us with potty training, too!
We first met Sam through close friends in our building – whose kids also adore her – and we will forever be grateful for that connection. She’s deeply plugged into the Park Slope community. She and our son spend days at the park and playgrounds, zoos, museums, music and art and gym classes, and neighborhood playgroups. Because of her, our son has a rich mix of structured and unstructured time. Our son’s confidence, curiosity, and social ease are a direct reflection of her loving guidance and the community she’s helped him build and nurture.
We had always envisioned Sam being with our family until our son started school full-time, and we’re truly heartbroken to be moving away. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Sam is ideally looking to work with a family with a baby (roughly 4–18 months old) in the Park Slope–Prospect Heights area, though she has experience with older children and multi-child families as well. Please reach out! We’re very happy to share more about our experience or connect you directly with her.
