Find a Brooklyn Nanny

Shanta is an incredibly warm, flexible, nurturing, punctual, organized and honest caregiver. She worked with my family for over two years starting when my son was two years old. She cared for him in all ways, engaging him in the community, helping him reach milestones and furthermore cared for my home and made my life so much easier. She lived in with my family when we transitioned to a home in the suburbs with a new baby. She was always willing to go above and beyond, stay late, traveled with us and truly felt like a part of my family. She’s extremely professional and everything you could want in a nanny.

Denise worked as nanny to our toddler daughter for a year until I had the opportunity to leave my job to focus on family. She began taking care of our daughter when our daughter was approximately 14 months to approximately 25 months old.

Denise is an engaged, affectionate, and helpful nanny. She was fully present with our daughter and we never saw her use a phone or headphones in front of her. Further, Denise was thoughtful and creative in how she played with our daughter. She often made up songs; for example, she taught us a “goodbye” song to help the transition to leave the playground that we still use. Also, she created fun and developmentally appropriate games out of existing materials. For example, for our daughter to practice fine motor skills, Denise created a fun game to practice putting small sticks into the bolt holes at the playground. Also, to develop our daughter’s vocabulary and memory, Denise drew photos of fruit
on leftover cardboard to create a matching game.

We also greatly appreciated Denise’s gentle manner. For example, she never used loud noises to wake our daughter from her nap; instead, she coaxed her awake by engaging her curiosity.

Denise is a caring person who clearly adored our daughter and often gifted our daughter developmentally appropriate toys and books to show her affection. When I was sick, she made me a delicious and healing ginger tea.

Denise was also very proactive in helping our family. She never asked me to purchase baby pouches or puffs to make her life easier; she instead made our daughter’s meals, including salmon cakes, peanut butter oatmeal pancakes, and chicken with vegetables. She swept our floors, always left our kitchen spotless, and even cleaned our bathrooms when our daughter started school part-time.

Denise fit well into our family. Even our dog took to Denise immediately, and her positive interactions with her made our lives easier. Her next family is very lucky.

Experienced French Nanny Available Mornings Only

Hello,

I am a professional French nanny with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I began my journey as an au pair and have since developed a fulfilling career as a full-time nanny.

I am passionate about working with children and pride myself on being friendly, reliable, organized, energetic, and punctual. Throughout the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many wonderful families and forming strong bonds with the children in my care — many of whom became my little best friends.

I am currently available for morning hours and would be happy to provide further details or references upon request.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.
Thank you for your consideration.

We are happy to refer our amazing nanny Bibi for her next position. Our family has been so lucky to have her over the past couple of years, and she has 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!

Our nanny Silvia has become available and is looking for a full-time job. Silvia has worked as our daughter’s full time nanny for the past year and a half. Silvia is kind-hearted, patient and experienced. She is trustworthy and shows up on time. She arranges playdates for our daughter and transports her to and from her various activities. Silvia sends us texts and photos during the day so that we know our daughter has arrived safely at her activities. Our daughter is now 7 years old and has matured significantly over the time Silvia has been with us. Our daughter is much more independent and knows how to respect and follow rules. Silvia has completed child/infant CPR class and completed nanny training workshops at Cornell University Workers Institute.

We are writing to recommend Brenda, who cared for our daughter from the age of six months until she turned two and started a more structured school program. As two full-time physicians with demanding and often unpredictable schedules, we needed someone reliable and flexible. Brenda consistently adjusted to our needs, sometimes staying overnight when our schedules required it, and other times working regular daytime hours. She was dependable and responsive whenever we asked for help, often on short notice.

During her time with us, she managed our daughter’s daily care, took her to local classes and activities (we are in the UES), and helped establish a consistent routine. She also developed strong connections with other nannies and families in the neighborhood, creating a social and supportive environment for our child.

In addition to childcare, Brenda assisted with light cleaning, meal prep for our daughter, and occasionally cooked meals for our entire family. This support was very helpful, especially during our busiest weeks. She was a steady and caring presence in our home and contributed meaningfully to our daughter’s early development. We are grateful for her time with us and believe she would be a strong addition to any family needing dependable childcare. Please feel free to reach out and I’m happy to provide more information.

Marguerite worked for me for 16 years until 2022. She worked for two other families since that time who loved her but had newborns/young children and moved out of the city. She helped raise my 3 kids (all in their 20s now) including feeding, taking to school, arranging playdates, reading to and playing with them, doing their laundry, keeping the house neat, making sure they got to school and activities promptly and completed homework and whatever else was needed. As they got older she was happy to shift to doing more housework, walked my dog and helped with errands. She was never late and never missed a day of work (my husband and I were working full time). She is honest, discreet, trustworthy, warm, loyal and flexible. My youngest (who started with Marguerite when she was 1) is a sophomore in college and says Marguerite is her best friend! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We’re sadly moving and our wonderful nanny is looking for her next family. We can’t recommend her enough! She was with us full-time for the past year and a half, caring for our son from 4 months old through almost age 2.

She is incredibly loving, patient, and attentive. She supported our son through major milestones from learning to walk and talk to becoming a very verbal and social toddler. Most importantly, she formed a strong, loving bond with him, and we always felt at ease knowing he was in her care.

Any family would be lucky to have her!

AMAZING NANNY AVAILABLE
Tasi was with us since my daughter was 6mos (she’s now 3.5). She is in her mid 50s and very active! She is loving, attentive, playful. She was never on her phone around my daughter. She cooked fresh meals 3x a day, cares about what friends are a good fit for playdates, and paid attention to my daughter’s interests. She also helped around the house during nap time (light tidying etc.). Tasi has helped my daughter become a confident, highly verbal, and polite toddler. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! I’m hoping to find her a new employer that will appreciate how committed a caregiver she is. Tasi can be contacted on +1 (646) 961-9714. I can be contacted for a reference on (Nisa: 612 323 2486).

THE WORLD’S BEST NANNY AVAILABLE NOW: I am writing to highly recommend my son’s former nanny Claudette. She is truly amazing. She is loving, bright, caring, assertive, and careful. This really is no exaggeration. Whoever gets to work with Claudette will have the very best caretaker and has zero to worry about. If I could have kept Claudette as my son’s nanny, I would in a heartbeat. For reference, she was with my son from when he was 5-months-old to 16-months and has continued to take care of him sometimes on evenings and weekends. I can’t express enough what a miracle she has been in his life, and mine, as a first-time parent. When I first met her through the recommendation of another nanny in the neighborhood, I didn’t know what to expect, but from day one she has been really great to work with. She’s dependable and no nonsense. She’s both extremely responsible and also fun-spirited, energetic, and wise. She puts a high value on children meeting their milestones and learning and is very interactive. Claudette has became like family to us. Through her attentive care, my son has reached all of his milestones, most of them early. At first she worked with him one-on-one on the floor and now she takes my son to different activities. She actually gets in the river with my son in the splash area for children at Brooklyn Bridge Park. She’s always so hands on and involved. She’s a mom and a young grandmother herself. As a single mom, Claudette has helped me so many times along the way with a variety of obstacles from administering medicine to all the initially perplexing behavioral changes that come with each developmental leap. I truly am so grateful to have found her. Having her care for my son was one of the best and most important things that happened in my son’s early life. I will be forever grateful for the time and effort that she put into his development. He loves her so much and smiles and gets excited when she arrives in the morning. And I know that she genuinely loves him.

Claudette is available now for a full-time nanny position in Brooklyn or Manhattan with one incredibly lucky family. She would like to work with a child in the age range from a newborn to age 2, but she said she would work with two children as well if they are both under the age of 3. She has many years of experience as a nanny (decades) and is CPR certified. I have no doubt that she would know exactly what to do in any situation. Claudette really is exceptional!

It is with great pleasure that I introduce our wonderful nanny. She is a professional from Colombia who is not only loving, dedicated, and low-maintenance, but also incredibly attentive to every detail of our children’s care. Our kids are full of energy, and she handles them with patience, joy, and creativity—always suggesting activities that spark their imagination and encourage exploration, especially outdoors at nearby parks. She cooks delicious meals, keeps their closets organized, and is deeply invested in their development.

She is remarkably reliable, always mindful of schedules (often reminding us of things we forget), and goes above and beyond in every way. Beyond childcare, she is also available for house and pet sitting when needed.
We are truly sad to see her go, but we are committed to helping her find the best possible family—because she absolutely deserves it. She has been an incredible support for our family, and we recommend her wholeheartedly.
She will be available to start with a new family by the end of November or early August.

Our former nanny, Afyia, is looking for her next family. She cared for our daughters for 6.5 wonderful years (2009-2015). She joined us when our girls were newborns and was with us through every stage until they entered school, supporting their physical, social, and cognitive milestones.

Afyia took care of everything related to our children’s daily lives — from laundry, meals, bath and bedtime routines, to school pickups, playdates, and classes. She was always punctual, dependable, and covered the occasional date night. With experience across multiple families, infants, toddlers, and even nanny shares, she brings a wealth of knowledge and calm energy to her work.

Afyia became a part of our family and was a steady, nurturing presence to our household. We continue to recommend her all these years later and know she’ll be an incredible partner to another family. She will be available to start from October. . If interested, please contact me directly or reach out to her at (917-543-1287).

Thanks,
Lisa

Our former nanny Tracy is available now after our baby got off the waitlist at daycare and after a very difficult consideration, we decided to take the spot.

She is a fantastic, professional and loving caregiver, with a lot of experience with babies and children. She has worked in New York for many years – we are based in UES and she knew all the great parks, playgrounds and all things to do for a kid in any weather, and how to keep the child safe. She was very nurturing and loving to our child an they had a great time together.

She is also very good with parents and communication around the child’s needs and her best advice. She offered us a lot of flexibility with extra hours to help accommodate our demanding work schedules, and was open to coming in early, staying late.

She is looking for a full-time nanny job also open to providing backup care, babysitting, etc. while she is looking for her next full-time role.

Paula Cabrera was my children’s nanny from 2023 through part of 2025. During this time, she was responsible for the care of my three children. She was excellent in her role, consistently demonstrating professionalism and dedication.

I am more than happy to recommend Paula for a nanny position. She has been an invaluable part of our family for 2 years.
What sets Paula apart is her proactive approach and genuine love for children. She doesn’t just watch the kids; she actively engages them in fun and educational activities. She is also incredibly responsible and always puts the children’s safety first.
Beyond the day-to-day care, Paula has been a positive influence on our children, teaching them valuable life lessons and helping them develop important social skills. She is reliable, punctual, and always willing to go the extra mile. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Jill is the best nanny in the world. Our family truly feels this way.

Jill was us in Brooklyn for 6 years from 2011-2017. She has been with her current employer for the past 7.5 years. We are working together to try and find her a new loving family to join.

Jill is a total professional. I can’t remember a day she was late or had to leave early. Which is saying a lot because that the time she had two small children herself. She is warm and caring and still makes it a point to call both of my children on their birthday’s all these years later. She and my 14 year old daughter still chat from time to time just to check in.

She got both of my colicky babies on a feeding and sleeping schedule as well as potty trained. She kept them outside in the fresh air and their schedules full of playdates. Never on a screen.

Please contact myself Jaclyn JRinkCrowley@gmail.com or her current employer
lauren.kelley1@gmail.com

Thank you!

Jasmin is a one-of-a-kind amazing caregiver and truly the best partner two working parents could dream of.

She comes early every day to help with the morning chaos and when I come home, it’s “wind down” time, the kids are in their pajamas — and the house spotless. Between taking care of my three kids (twin girls and an older brother) to juggling various schedules to setting up a new bed, to potty training, there is really nothing Jasmin cannot do. She is always outside with the kids, whether it’s taking them to the library story hour or running around in the sprinklers at the playground. My kids run into her arms when she comes home and the love she has for them is amazing. She’s an extremely hard worker. Not only does she make all meals and snacks for three kids, do their laundry, bathe them all, trim their nails, etc. But she also finds time to organize their clothes, sort everything they’ve outgrown, etc. And when my youngest kids nap, she’s doing workbooks with my 4 year old.

Jasmin has her diploma in early childhood education and is CPR, First Aid certified and COVID vaccinated.

Jasmin is a gem and we love her so much!

Super experienced, kind, fun, active… truly the best! She was my son’s, who has profound special needs, Nanny. And I got her from a great friend who loved her as well. She really is wonderful.

Hi everyone! We are parting ways with our most beloved nanny, Julie, in mid-October as our daughter will be in school full-time. She has been a rock for our family for 4 years and has loved Olympia like one of her own. She is looking for her new full-time family in Brooklyn. I cannot recommend her enough and I don’t even know how to describe how important she has been to our family. She is extremely reliable, has never been late, she does our laundry and very light cleaning, is great at organizing playdates, takes our daughter out all day to the park and playgrounds and classes and cares for our daughter in the most meaningful ways and has helped raise her into an incredible little girl. My daughter calls her “my best friend”. She has legitimately been a third parent and it’s breaking my heart! I would love to help her find her next loving family. Julie was with her previous family for 10 years and they are also available to chat regarding a recommendation. She is looking for full time only. please reach out to me with any questions or reach out to Julie at 646-500-1591.
