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:
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.
Fun, loving, experience nanny available. Kelly has experience with children of all ages and would be a great fit for the next family. She came into our lives at a time where we needed her the most, and became the missing link to making everything work for us. She never made me feel overbearing and she became a true partner in raising our daughter offering guidance, encouragement and so much care. Her level of understanding, empathy, and supportiveness will always be appreciated. Kelly listened to and respected our priorities and how we wanted things done. We trusted her to use her discretion to keep our child safe. We respected her personal time, but, when we asked, Kelly was able to be flexible with her schedule.
Kelly is more than a nanny, she became part of our family, and any family will be incredibly lucky to have her. She brings not only experience and reliability, but a genuine love that shines through everything she does.
Our incredible nanny, Nadia is looking for a family who’s looking for someone part-time or in the first half of the day. She is a dream come true and truly an all-star nanny. She is warm, respectful, incredibly punctual and responsible, she is generous and understanding when there are train delays or schedule shifts, she is proactive in scheduling fun classes and events in the neighborhood, and most of all she is trustworthy and truly a part of our family. We would love to find someone in the Park Slope/Windsor Terrace/Kensington/Midwood area. She is available M-F before 3:30pm.
We are relocating out of state in late December and are sadly leaving our nanny, Kaysher, behind. She has been with us for over 3 years and is incredibly loving, attentive, and reliable. She treats our girls (ages 4 and 2) like family. She has fantastic instincts, and I trust her judgment 100%, but at the same time she is excellent at following very specific instructions when I provide them (like with baby feeding and sleep schedule). Moms who see her at classes and the playground go out of their way to tell me how wonderful she is. I can’t recommend Kaysher enough, and it pains me that she can’t join us when we move! She is looking for full-time work and can be flexible on start date (preferably January-February so she can help support us through our move!) Please reach out to me if interested.
Our Amazing Nanny will be available for full time work starting January. She has been with our family for about 4 years. She is incredible with children all ages and pleasant to have around. She is happy to help with cleaning, cooking or whatever tasks if might need help with around the house.
You can text or call me for more info 718-288-6210
If you’re looking for a nanny who combines unwavering reliability with genuine warmth and professional expertise, Erica McMillan is exactly who you need. After a wonderful year with our family, we’re heartbroken to help her transition to a new position—but only because my circumstances have changed and I’m taking on a more hands-on parenting role. Had this not been the case I would happily work with her forever.
Why Erica Stands Out
Proven Track Record: Erica’s career speaks volumes—8 years with her previous family, and 5+ years each with families before that. This isn’t someone who job-hops; she builds lasting relationships and grows alongside families as their needs evolve.
Infant & Child Development Expertise: Erica specializes in caring for babies and seamlessly adapting as they grow into toddlers and beyond. She understands developmental milestones and creates age-appropriate activities that foster growth while keeping children engaged and happy.
Active & Engaging Care: Rain or shine, Erica gets children outside twice daily. She’s constantly planning activities, arranging playdates, and incorporates multiple daily reading sessions. Your child will never lack for stimulation or fresh air.
What Makes Her Exceptional
The quality I treasure most about Erica is her intuitive understanding of children. She respects my son as an individual, giving him space to explore and learn while maintaining a calm, joyful environment. She genuinely loves what she does—and children can sense that authenticity immediately.
Erica cares for her charges as if they were her own family. My son receives the same love, attention, and protection I would give him myself. That peace of mind is invaluable for any working parent.
Professional Excellence
Beyond her natural gifts with children, Erica is a consummate professional. She proactively identifies activities and care opportunities while seamlessly respecting our parenting philosophy and household routines. She’s delightful to have in our home and takes her responsibilities seriously—you can see how much pride she takes in her work.
The Bottom Line
Erica’s next family will gain an exceptional caregiver who will love their children, support their family, and provide the reliable, nurturing care every parent hopes for. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We are happy to refer our former amazing nanny Bibi for her next position! Bibi is absolutely fantastic. Our family has been so lucky to have her with us and she’s helped us raise our two boys (3 years old and 9 months old). Bibi is so warm and loving with the children and our boys absolutely adore her. She is so proactive with facilitating their development and is very outgoing. She set up a whole neighborhood play group for our kids and is great about taking them to activities and the park. She helped create nap time and feeding schedules for the kids and was on top of everything related to their care. She is extremely dependable and a very hard worker, and was always willing to come early or stay late as needed. Any family would be lucky to have her! You can reach out to her at 347-277-1212.
If you’re welcoming a new baby and looking for your first nanny — stop here. Hire Denise Paul.
Denise is the person every new parent dreams of finding: calm, warm, endlessly capable, and deeply experienced with infants. She cared for our son from the time he was a newborn through preschool — 3½ years of complete devotion and joy. We were first-time parents and Denise taught us everything. Truly, we kept our sanity because of her.
Before joining our family, Denise worked for many years as a night nurse, and it shows. She anticipates a baby’s every need before you even know what’s coming — feedings, naps, teething, milestones, transitions — and she supports new parents through it all. She’s never dictatorial; she has a gentle touch and always respected our preferences, but quietly guided us with a steady, teaching hand. Denise’s presence in those first months gave us confidence, rest, and peace of mind — and her influence shaped how we parent to this day.
Denise handles everything related to the baby: laundry, bottles, meals, clothing, toys, and routines. She keeps the nursery spotless and organized, tracks when things run low, and always knows what your child needs next — from the right swaddle to the first straw cup. She made all of our son’s food from scratch (purees, soups, healthy meals) and helped him become an adventurous eater. I never once bought baby food! She’s also incredibly dependable — always early, never late, and in 3½ years took just one sick day.
And her value doesn’t diminish as a child grows — it only deepens. Denise continued to anticipate our son’s needs as he became a toddler and transitioned into preschool. She helped him learn independence, social skills, and curiosity, bringing him to playgrounds, story hours, and classes across Brooklyn (DUMBO, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens). She has an extraordinary network of caregivers and families, and built a wonderful, social little world for him.
We only parted ways because we moved away from the city. Denise is a treasure — experienced, nurturing, reliable, and truly gifted with children. She will be an extraordinary asset to her next family, especially one welcoming a new baby. From day one, and for years to come, she’ll make your home feel calm, organized, and full of love.
If you have the chance to hire Denise, do not hesitate. She will change your life for the better.
We met MariaRosa at the start of the pandemic when our oldest daughter had just turned one. We immediately felt a good connection and after a couple months began using her as our full time nanny. We never had to give much instruction, MariaRosa jumped right in and began helping us with everything. She was lovely with our daughter and kept her busy with activities and outings to the park. She kept on top of all of our daughters needs and would buy new outwear or shoes whenever she outgrew old items. She helped our daughter learn how to walk and was constantly working on helping her learn new words and songs. She kept our home tidy and our daughter’s room organized. She would box up old clothes as our daughter outgrew them and keep everything labeled. She did laundry for our whole family and helped make meals and snacks for our daughter. When our oldest started school she helped with school drop offs and pick ups and taking her to various after school activities. She would have everything ready like the ballet bag packed and soccer bag packed with all needed clothing changes and snacks and drinks. She also organized play dates with other Nanny’s and classmates after school. When our younger daughter was born she was there helping us the whole time. She stayed with our older daughter for three days while we were in the hospital and worked very long days in those early weeks helping in any way she could. She was so sweet and most people thought she was a relative. She helped watch our newborn daughter while our oldest was in school and then they would all go out together in the afternoons before returning for dinner. Last year both our girls were in school and she helped in the mornings with drop off and then would help with laundry and housework during the morning and then would do two different school pickups and took the girls to all their afternoon activities.
MariaRosa also traveled with my family a few times. She would have the girls packed beforehand and everything would be labeled by day. She helped watch the girls in transit and helped have them ready for each days activities and then watched them at the hotel or helped with bedtime routine each night.
A couple trips we took we left our girls at home and MariaRosa would stay with them while we were away.
I cannot sing her enough praise. She is truly an amazing nanny and we were so sad to part ways. She was with us for about five and a half years. We only parted ways because we had to move out of state for my husbands job. I’m happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
Jen seamlessly joined our family in January right after our son was born. She brought with her many years of experience and a sense of calm that instilled confidence in two new parents nervous about the transition back to work. She has been with us for four years, caring for our son and daughter since we returned to work after each was born. Our kids absolutely love her. We recently moved to New Jersey, which is why we are helping Jen to find a full-time position with a family she can grow with.
Jen is a knowledgeable and experienced childcare professional with 25+ years experience as a nanny working with all age kids, especially babies and toddlers. First and foremost, she is loving and patient. She has cared for our children (and for us) as though they are members of her own family. She is always attentive to our children’s ever evolving needs and has supported our family through many milestones – sleep training, learning to eat, physical milestones, potty training, welcoming a second child to the mix etc.. She has ensured that our children eat delicious and nutritious meals since she joined our family (our kids love her cooking!). She keeps the kids rooms and toys neat even with 2 kids constantly on the go, and the kids always have clean laundry and beds. She is always on time and is flexible to start early or stay later when we have a need that arises.
Jen also loves to be out and about with the kids, taking them around the neighborhood to parks and playgrounds, to gym & music classes, and organizing playdates. At home she sings and reads to them, and gets down on the floor with them to play. She sends pictures during the day so my husband and I feel a part of their adventures.
We cannot speak highly enough of Jen, and are happy to get on a reference call and share more about Jen live. She has become an important part of our family, and we are confident she will do the same with her next family.
Yvonne took care of our daughter from when she was 14 months old until now (27 months old) full time. She has been great with the transition from baby to toddler, helping transition from 2-1 nap, say bye to paci, and potty training. She helps around the house with my daughter’s laundry (washes, folds, and puts away), family dishes, and organizing my daughter’s books/toys. She is flexible on timing and stays late whenever we need her to. She is extremely reliable and communicative – doesn’t call out sick and plans vacations around ours.
Yvonne lives in Brooklyn and is open to many neighborhoods. In the West Village where we live, she has many nanny friends and knows all the best parks, playgrounds, libraries, free classes, etc. to take her to – she learned that very quickly and will adapt to any neighborhood. They have a special bond and we have felt completely safe with our daughter in Yvonne’s care. She reads and plays with my daughter constantly and has taught her colors, numbers, the alphabet, etc.
In addition to caring for toddlers and kids, Yvonne has worked as a baby nanny and is CPR trained.
We are recommending our nanny Martina she is amazing! She has been with us for 4 years. We met her while working in the Dominican Republic. She is very nurturing, patient, caring, reliable and responsible with a very positive attitude. She has taken great care of our daughter since she was 6 months old. Takes her to school, park, all daily activities, prepares her meals, does her laundry and all cleaning related to her. Whenever we need her off her working schedule, she is always available. Our daughter speaks and understands almost everything in Spanish as that is what she speaks. We are moving out of state, Unfortunately the commuting will be impossible for her. We are hoping our loss is your gain.
Please feel free to contact me
We’ve been lucky to have Babita with our 2.5 year-old son since he was a month old. In her prior position, she was with the same family for 13 years. From the start, she’s been a reliable, nurturing, confident, and maternal presence in our home. Babita is organized, communicative throughout the day, and punctual. She keeps our son actively engaged and takes him out daily – to school, parks, the library, music/art/swim classes, and playdates. She is a spectacular cook and regularly prepares meals for our son. She’s thoughtful about what we feed him and has even made natural remedies for our family when any one of us got sick.
During naptime, Babita helps with our laundry, dishes, and keeps our home tidy. My husband and I work long hours and travel frequently; on those days, she’s open and willing to stay late and/or come in early. She often anticipates our needs before we even realize, whether it’s packing for a trip, reorganizing our son’s clothes, reminding me to restock essentials, meal prepping, grocery shopping, etc. Her independence and consistent support around the house has been such a relief for us.
We’d absolutely love to keep Babita as long as possible, but with our son in pre-school, we are looking for a part-time nanny. While she’d prefer to start with a newborn, she’s experienced with children of all ages. Babita is very familiar with downtown Tribeca/Fidi but is open to any location in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Any family would be thrilled and at peace to have her in their lives! Please feel free to reach out to her directly and/or to me for more detail.
We’re so sad to be parting ways with our wonderful nanny, who has been an incredible part of our family and is now looking for her next family to work with. She has over 9 years of childcare experience and brings a perfect balance of warmth, reliability, and professionalism. She has CPR training and nanny training and has all her vaccinations etc up to date.
She has cared for children of all ages—from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids—and has a natural ability to connect with each child’s unique personality. She’s patient, nurturing, and deeply attentive, creating a safe, loving environment while also encouraging independence and curiosity.
Our nanny has been remarkably dependable—always punctual, organized, and proactive in managing the day-to-day routines. She helps with everything from meal prep and cleaning to managing nap schedules, playdates, and early learning activities. We’ve trusted her completely with our child’s well-being and development.
She’s also wonderful with parents—great communicator, flexible when plans change, and someone you can always count on to keep things running smoothly. She has truly become part of our family!
We would be happy to speak directly with any family interested in learning more about her experience and to share more about the positive impact she’s had on our household. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her caring for their little ones.
Please feel free to message me if you’d like her contact information or would like to speak by phone.
Our nanny, Verilene Roberts (Vee), has been an integral part of our family for the past (almost) 15 years.
From the moment Vee joined us when our son was 3 months old, she brought warmth, patience, and reliability into our home. She cared for our son and then our daughter and kept our house running. She has always been proactive, reliable, and thoughtful, often going above and beyond her duties without being asked. When they were little, Vee made sure the kids were well occupied taking them to the the playground, library, 14th St. Y and various classes and activities over the years.
It’s hard to put into words just how much Vee has meant to us. While we are excited for what lies ahead for her, we are truly sad to see her go. Any family fortunate enough to have Vee in their lives will quickly realize they’ve found someone special.
Elizabeth Stewart helped my husband and I raise our 3 kids from birth for over a decade. She continues to be an integral part of our family as my kids are full grown and stays connected in touch with all of us. And I’m confident all the families she’s cared for and kids who are now full grown would attest to the same. She is incredible with kids of all ages. Her routine, her approach full of love, her smarts, and warmth with a splash of dry humor meets kids (and parents 🙂 at their level. She is loving, trustworthy, loyal and endlessly dependable and also loves music and to sing kids songs. Her experience and wisdom from caring for newborns through kids’ development from nursery through middle school, her calming energy is not only inspiring with kids, its equally a huge support, partnership for parents through all the stages. She is myopic about keeping things in order, neat and clean kids rooms, toys, clothes, laundry and healthy meals. She likes fresh air walks, parks and playgrounds. She supports playdates and connects with other nannies with kids of same ages at school, after school programs and playground. I could gush about her forever. Elizabeth is a special beautiful person that every family, every child should be so lucky to have in their lives.
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.
