It is my honor to recommend my incredible Nanny Lisa Slater. Lisa is a talented, intelligent, loving, funny, kind person who has helped mould my Children into Happy, polite social kids. Lisa has been our Nanny for 4 years from when my Son Atom was 6 months old and my second Son Orion was born 3 years later. They are now 6 and 3 years respectively. Lisa treated them with Love and respect and demonstrated the importance of sharing, cooperation and friendship. The kids adored her. Atom was with Lisa during day. Through reading, games and play Lisa engaged him constantly. She talks and sings to him all day long, which has definitely contributed to Atom remarkable language development and comprehension. Lisa established a routine for Atom from the beginning so every day they would read books, do a group activity or music class or story time classes with other kids, and get fresh air at the playground. Even before Atom could speak, Lisa mirrored proper manners like “water please” and “thank you”. Atom attended school from 9-12, Orion stayed with Lisa all day. She would pick Atom up from school where she would take them to the playground, Library classes or play dates that she arranged. She always found engaging fun activities for the kids to do including art projects, visits to the zoo or a museum. Lisa established a network of nannies with kids the same age who were among my kids closest friends. Lisa set an example for Atom on how to treat other people especially his brother. Lisa is incredibly trustworthy, punctual and reliable. I left each day confident that my kids would be safe, happy and engaged. She and I had excellent communication we worked together as a team. I offer you my highest possible recommendation for Lisa as a Nanny. She is amazing and meant a lot to our family. Any family would be tremendously fortunate to have Lisa care for their child/children. We would of loved Lisa to be our Nanny forever, but we moved to Westchester. Lisa can be reached at 347-922-6184.

After 5 years, we have made the difficult decision to move on from our incredible nanny, Vanessa. Vanessa came to us when our daughter was an infant and she quickly showed what a valuable part of our family that she would become. Trustworthy, reliable, intelligent, proactive, flexible, on time, and great communicator are some things that come to mind when thinking about Vanessa work over the past 5 years. We hired her when our second daughter was born and she cared for both our girls (now ages 5 and 7). Vanessa has been our full-time nanny (M-T, 8-6) for the past five years and in that time, she has helped our girls grow into the smart, outgoing girls that they are. She loves getting them outside as much as possible. She’s always on-time and has literally never called out sick. She helps around the house as needed with light cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, etc. Vanessa is also open-minded to new ideas or approaches. I can’t tell you how many teachers and parents have approached me over the years to say how wonderful Vanessa is. But most importantly, she has been so good for our daughters. She spends time reading to our girls, teaching them letters and numbers, helping them tackle puzzles, and encouraging their learning. She taught them to take pride in their appearance and to be friendly and respectful. They love and respect her, and we do as well. Please contact me if you (or anyone you know) is looking for a nanny. Thanks so much. Best, Giovanna Erunse (917) 309-4383 or at [email protected]

I don't know what we would have done this year without Toya. She is bright, hardworking and wonderful with our boys. In the midst of such a challenging year, she jumped in to watch our kids and has been incredible - here are some examples: 1) She academically inclined and supported our kids hybrid + remote learning - including enrichment activities 2) She's energetic - which is particularly great with our two little guys who have energy to burn - and thinks of creative and fun ways to engage them physically, inside and outside our home 3) She's social and connected - she's instigated new friendships and playdates for the kids, and been particularly good at figuring out who the kids will "click" with 4) She's incredibly reliable and a good communicator - it's been a tremendous load off our minds to know that she's a steady, supportive presence, an essential in a caretaker 5) She's got a wonderful personality, is unflappable, and bonded with our guys quickly Our family is aging out of needing full time care and we are committed to helping Toya find other great families. I really can't recommend her highly enough. She's worked for us full time this year - and has been a steadying, reliable and warm presence in our household.

Parent Reference

I am here posting on behalf of my nanny, Yolanda. Yolanda has over 20 years of experience and multiple references from the families she has helped over the years. She has been with my family for two years ever since our daughter Ana was born, but we are leaving NY and unfortunately cannot take her with us. I believe that it is easy to find a nanny that will look after a child but extremely hard to find one that will engage with them and develop them. Yolanda's engagement with Ana includes potty training her before age 2, teaching her about letters, colors, and numbers, and keeping her happy and healthy. She is always punctual, available when needed, and has a great disposition and attitude. As first-time parents, we benefited from a nanny that has all of her experience and took the lead from her in more than one occasion. I honestly think that she is a large part of why our daughter is so advanced. She also has a strong network in Brooklyn and helped introduce Ana to many new friends in the area. I would most definitely encourage you to chat with her and see if she is a good fit.

Parent Reference

Our reliable, conscientious, smart, funny, and tireless nanny, Kitty, is looking for a new family who she can help full-time. She was with our family for an incredible ELEVEN years so I can vouch for her expertise with infants through middle schoolers. She was an invaluable partner in raising our kids, and is exactly the person you hope for when looking for a caregiver. Kitty was our only caregiver since our first child was born in 2007. I don’t think I would have been able to go to work each morning without Kitty, as I completely trusted her. Not only is she warm and loving, her intelligence and experience with children (including her own two daughters) made her a priceless source of knowledge and guidance as we tried to figure out how to be parents. As our needs evolved each year, Kitty adapted. She can truly do it all. She transitioned from babies to juggling complex afterschool activity schedules, helping with homework and somehow finding time to bake cookies or cupcakes with the kids as well. My girls love her! Three years ago, with our girls becoming older and more independent, we helped Kitty find a new family. Unfortunately, they are making a cross country move, so she’s once again looking for a family to help. You can count on her to manage your kids’ outings, activities, meals, and laundry. Every day our kids were out somewhere, whether the playground, the park, a museum, library or the zoo. She is never late or sick, which means you’ll never worry about your schedule being impacted. Kitty is an incredibly considerate, proactive person who takes the initiative to make your life easier. And while she has considerable childcare experience, she’s also open-minded to new ideas or approaches. I can’t tell you how many teachers and parents have approached me over the years to say how wonderful Kitty is. Your family will be lucky to have her!

Live in/out: Only live-out

Parent Reference

Michelle is a warm, conscientious, reliable, and thoughtful caregiver who has enriched the lives of our two young boys during her time with our family over the span of 4 years. We have been sad to say goodbye to her in our day-to-day, but we know that she will continue to be part of our sons’ lives, and we are eager to help find a new family to benefit from Michelle’s talents, professionalism, and sincere caring. We met Michelle through MommyBites in early 2016, when we were new parents with a six-month old who seemed too young and fragile to leave with a stranger. Fortunately, Michelle put us at ease right away, and she quickly bonded with our baby boy. With her 20 years of experience as a nanny, Michelle knows how to care for young children with a loving manner. She also educated us — what bibs worked best for messy eaters, what music classes in the neighborhood were most energetic, how to wipe the runny nose of resistant toddler. We feel so lucky that she was our first (and only) nanny. When our younger son was born last spring, Michelle helped our older son adapt to his new role as “big brother” and bonded just as quickly with our baby. While we were adjusting to juggling the demands of two kids, Michelle managed to give both kids the attention they needed and made it look easy. She is effective with children of all ages and maintains strong ties with the kids she previously cared for. Michelle is impeccably reliable, responsible, and caring. She has been willing to come early and stay late when needed, even with very little advance notice. But most importantly, she has been so good for our sons. She regularly set up play dates with other kids in the neighborhood and spent time reading to our boys, teaching them letters and numbers, helping them tackle puzzles, and encouraging their learning. She taught them to take pride in their appearance and to be friendly and respectful to our neighbors. They love and respect her, and we do as well. She is an excellent nanny, and we want to do our part to ensure her next family appreciates her as much as we do.

Parent Reference

Keita is the nanny you want to snatch up! It was serendipitous the day we found our nanny. Our doorman told me, "you have to grab Keita. She is the best and her family is moving to Philly. She will be needing a new job soon". It was so easy and I never looked back. Keita was with us for about 6 years, starting 3 months after my older son was born. As new parents, she was perfect for us. Her confidence and delicacy with which she took care of our newborn was reassuring and mind-blowing to us. She really showed us the way. She home made all his first foods - all the purées. She is a great cook! Like any parent, I hated going back to work and leaving my child at that age. She sent me pictures every day of my smiling, happy boy. The bonus with Keita - she speaks French. We asked her to only speak to our kids in French so they would get that added benefit. She loves the idea that she can help teach a native English speaking child French. I went out and got French books and it was great having that added influence. I loved to hear my little one say "sil vous plait"! On this note, I suggest if you are interested in speaking with Keita and doing an informal screening interview over the phone first you will miss out on getting to know Keita. Her strong suit is her personality which, with the language barrier of her accent and that she’s not a native English speaker, things definitely get lost in translation over the phone. You must meet her to know how wonderful she is. Please interview in person ? One of my biggest nanny pet peeves- I HATE when I see nannies walking their child with headphones on- or gabbing on the phone. You would never see Keita doing this. She doesn't watch tv - and so the tv was never on in our home while she was taking care of our 2 kids. She engaged all the time and her #1 priority is focusing on our kids and making sure they are happy. She has so much love and care in her heart; you can rest assured your children will be loved and cared for as close to a parent's love as possible. When the kids were playing off by themselves or napping she looked for ways to be helpful to the family. She really went above and beyond. She has an incredible work ethic. My kids took karate classes and I received the most amazing email from the receptionist there- out of no where - at the time. I have to share an excerpt from it it to exemplify what is so special about her: "I am taking a chance to offer some unsolicited opinion. I do not do this often. In fact, this is the second time. So here goes...I have had a few occasions to observe [S] and [J's] child care provider (babysitter) thus far. I don't recall her name. I have to say she is so good with your children. Her smile of pride and approval for their accomplishments here is beautiful...Trust me, I see nannies that are not attentive to their children. Good choice in hiring her". This was not the first time I had been told how wonderful Keita was by random people over the years. She is extremely trustworthy. I can say without a doubt she would never lie- never do anything that wasn't honest. She has very high moral standards. When we hired her to work with us on the Upper West Side we told her we were planning a move to Brooklyn within the year. She told us "as hard as it is to find a good nanny, it's hard to find a good family. I will go with you. She traveled from the Bronx to Brooklyn, getting to us by 8am, every week for over 4 years. Keita had had 2 prior nanny experiences and those references were also excellent. She's been doing this job now for nearly 26 years. We continue to use Keita as our babysitter when we need. Win-win. Our kids are SO excited to be with her. She is like a second mom to them. And she continues to be as awesome as she was when she worked for us full-time. This is VERY Keita: She babysat, we came home and my husband and my bed was beautifully made (not the shoddy job I do!). We had dumped our clean laundry on our bed and while we were out she made our bed! She is incredible.

Parent Reference

As a new mom, I was terrified at the idea of finding someone to care for my baby. I had every terrible fear or thought you could possibly imagine, but that all went away when Jasneth started working with us. For starters, I truly believe she made me a better mom. Not only did she care for our son while we were at work, but I would ask her questions or advise on how to handle various things, and she provided me with nuggets of information that was far more valuable than what you can find in a book. She knows everything there is to know in caring for a baby and raising children. Her many years of experience speaks volumes. Jasneth is honest, kind and caring, not to mention a lot of fun. Her number one focus and priority is the child she is caring for. She takes the child’s wellbeing and safety very seriously. It also says a lot that she is still in very close contact with all the children and families she has cared for over the years. My son absolutely adores her and both my husband and I love to be in her company. She is family oriented, adores her own children and grandchildren, which I have come to know and love as well. Jasneth has been with us since my son was 3 months old. He is now 3 years old and during this time she was with us in Brooklyn and then lived in with us when we moved to the suburbs. We consider her family. She is an amazing human being and caregiver with a heart of gold. I can’t recommend her enough. I can also provide references from previous families she’s cared for as well.

Marcy is a wonderful and loving caregiver and all around lovely person (ask anyone in our building--doormen, other children, other parents). She joined our family when our son was 4 months old (he's now 4) and was with us through the birth of our daughter, now 1. We couldn't have imagined these last 4 years without her. We have always been able to count on her 100%--she is never late, never calls in sick, works her vacation time around ours and has always been incredibly flexible if we need her to come early or stay late. She has a calm and peaceful way about her, is excellent with babies and has incredible patience. Toddler tantrums never rattle her. It has given me incredible peace of mind these past 4 years knowing my children are in Marcy's safe hands. We couldn't have asked for a more kind and nurturing person to look after our children and are so sad to be saying goodbye to her (we are moving out of NYC). We would like nothing more than to help her find a new family.

Tenzin has been with us for over 3.5 years, since my daughter was 4 months old. Tenzin has done a wonderful job caring for my daughter from the early infant stages through the toddler years. I’ve always appreciated Tenzin’s good judgement, calm demeanor and ability to keep my daughter safe at home, while going to classes or in the park. From the beginning, Tenzin understood the importance of reading to my child at a very early age, and has played an important role in advancing her development throughout the years (including fixing her nap schedule, potty training and teaching her how to properly hold a pen to write letters). Tenzin is an excellent chef and knows how to prepare fresh, healthy and delicious food throughout the baby/toddler years, which has been incredibly helpful. My daughter loves her and will miss her dearly (especially all of the good times they had playing together!) but we have moved out of NYC and Tenzin is understandably looking to be closer to her family. She is fully COVID-19 vaccinated. We highly recommend Tenzin and know that she will be a wonderful addition to your family, as she was to ours. Please feel free to reach out to Tenzin directly.

Sinovya has been with us for almost 5 years, since my first daughter was 3 months old. Our children love her, and they are always happy to hear that it's a "Sisi" day. She has many strengths, and we are so sad that she won't be in our daily lives anymore. Initially, we hired her because of how easy going and calm she was. She is never fazed by a meltdown, or a baby having a particularly fussy day. She never raises her voice or loses her patience. As our children got older, she was amazing at finding playdates. She creates a consistent schedule that involves time outside, but also prevents the girls from being overstimulated or exhausted at the end of the day. She always allows time for unstructured play, and follows their lead to play blocks or restaurants or color. She cares so much about our girls. She makes the best and most elaborate snacks that I will never live up to, and always brings special treats that they totally adore. Even the books that she would choose to bring home reflect how well she knows their interests and what will make them happy, and she reads to them constantly. She is reliable and prompt. She has been working with children her whole career, and all of her references gave glowing reviews. She is very COVID careful, and fully vaccinated. She will work early and late as needed, (she’s been extremely accommodating whenever we need a helping hand) just prefers not to on a regular basis.

It breaks my heart to even write this but we are parting ways with our nanny of 8+ years. Paulette has been with our family from the time my daughter was 3 months old, and has been raising our kids with my husband and I up until now. She even moved in with us when we went from the UES to Long Island. Our kids are 6 and 9, and our needs have just shifted where we need part time. Paulette is an absolute angel - she is respectful, mild mannered, fun, loving, attentive, always on time/prompt, and works incredibly hard to create the best environment. She has our kids best interest at heart, and we trust her with any decision & with our full heart. My son was born with hearing loss and Paulette made it her mission to understand more about it, and has sat with him during speech therapy over the last 6 years while we were at work. My kids are attached to her and keep telling me how lucky her next family is. Paulette is vaccinated, very COVID conscious, and is looking for a job in Brooklyn or UWS after 8/1/2021. You are the luckiest family if you have the opportunity to welcome Paulette into your house; we will miss her tremendously!!

Experience: Full time care of two girls from birth to present (15 plus years with us) Professional Responsibilities: full range of care of the girls from infants to teenagers including maintaining sleep schedules, girls’ laundry, light cleaning, shopping/preparing meals, planning playdates, school drop off and pick up, supervising after school activities, doctor and dentist appointments, and anything else the girls need Personal Qualities: Loving, responsible, honest, creative, practical, curious, intelligent, fun, calm, punctual, neat, active, flexible, social, attentive, patient, excellent communication and listening skills, organized, independent, energetic, kind, moral, team player Qualifications: CPR/First Aid certified, Clean background check, Fully vaccinated for COVID Asha has been employed by my family for over 15 years, and indeed is really a part of the family. Both of the girls are now teenagers and can move around the city independently after school and we no longer need full time help with them. I would (and do) trust her with anything regarding my children. Both my husband and I work full time so having Asha fully in charge was essential. She is great with children of all ages: Babies: With multiple children and grandchildren of her own, as well as 20 plus years as a professional nanny, Asha knows more about babies than I have forgotten. She has amazing instincts for soothing them and is able to work closely in partnership with parents as she did with us to work out feeding routines, sleeping schedules, play time etc. She has lots of energy, and is gentle and loving yet firm. She is incredibly focused on safety, health and cleanliness at all times. Toddlers/Preschoolers: As the girls and their friends grew up, Asha always had ideas for activities to entertain them. She read to them, sang, played games, did art project and baked with them. They were able to take full advantage of the neighborhood with trips to the children’s museum, Museum of Natural History, Central Park zoo and park and playgrounds. She prepared nutritious/delicious food for them and always was prepared with snacks, band aids and hugs for any contingency. She gained the respect of other parents and teachers at the girls’ preschool through her excellent care and guidance of the girls. Kindergarten/Elementary/Middle School/High School: this is a wide range, but through all these years, Asha has been supportive of the girls’ academic studies (at Metropolitan Montessori and now Brearley), athletic extracurriculars, and other activities. They love and trust her judgment, as do I. She knows children throughout all their growth stages, celebrates their successes and is unsurprised by the challenges. She is happy to take direction from us as parents but also to take initiative to get things done and has more common sense than most people I know. She would be a wonderful addition to any family. Your child(ren) will be healthy, safe, flourishing and loved in her care. Please text to set up a call with any questions or contact Asha directly. Best, Anne

Our fabulous nanny, Ava, will be available this summer in June. Our loss is your gain! Ava has taken care of our 2 year old son since the day we brought him home from the hospital. She started as our baby nurse (she has extensive newborn experience) and seamlessly transitioned into our nanny as he grew. She is now also watching our newborn so can handle multiple kids, easily. We are in awe of how much our son has learned in his first years. Ava is a fantastic teacher and is so creative when it comes to activities, especially on those rainy days. She is also incredibly social. During this crazy year, on her own, she formed a fantastic pod for our son who he hangs out with every day and takes classes with. We couldn't have asked for a better crew. Ava cooks delicious meals for my son and does all of his laundry. She is looking for a full time live-out position and is open to location. She is flexible on hours, happily staying for the occasional date night. Ava has never taken a sick day and shows up 5 minutes early every single day. She is extremely COVID-conscious and fully vaccinated. She also has multiple references and keeps in touch with other families she has worked with. My son jumps into Ava's arms every morning, which says it all. Ava will be a fantastic addition to your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Our incredible nanny Keita will be available towards the end of August/beginning of September, her start date is flexible. Additionally, she is available for temporary full-time or part-time work in July as we will be out of the country. Keita is simply the best and has over 15 years of experience in childcare in Manhattan and Brooklyn. She started with us when our son was 3 months old and unfortunately we can no longer keep her on full-time as our son starts pre-school in the fall, and we desperately want to help her find a family who will be a great fit. She was a godsend for my husband and I who, as new and exhausted parents, had no idea what we were doing. She came in and helped us learn how to parent our son without ever overstepping. She was an incredible support to me as I transitioned back to full time work. She made the transition so easy as I knew he was being loved and cared for well at home. Now that my son is a VERY active toddler, they have such a sweet bond. She is always coming up with new games to play and taking him on adventures. She lets him explore and learn in his own way while making sure he's supported, safe and happy. She's helped him make many friends in the neighborhood park, at music classes, and within our building. She is a native French speaker, but also speaks English well. She speaks French exclusively to our son which has been ideal for my husband and I. It's been incredible watching his language develop in both languages simultaneously. She came to us highly recommended by 3 families who she was with for many years each. Keita is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and considerate. Simply put, she is a lovely person who loves children. I can't say enough wonderful things about her! Feel free to call/text/email with any questions or to speak in greater detail.

Yvonne was our nanny from the time our daughter was a few months old until she was 11 and she is an absolutely wonderful nanny. She is a very responsible, caring, gentle and encouraging person. I particularly appreciated how engaged she was with our daughter when at home or on regular trips to the parks, museums and around the neighborhood. She was a dream come true for our family. I frequently received compliments from other parents about how great Yvonne was with our daughter and I always felt completely secure with leaving our daughter in Yvonne’s care. We had such a great experience with her! Yvonne also has experience with newborns, including working as a baby nurse. Happy to do reference calls.

We are looking to help our amazing French-speaking nanny of three and a half years to find another full-time position. Our family is re-locating back to Canada (we would take Julie with us if we could!!) and would like to find another family who she can have such a great impact on. Julie has over 20 years of long-term experience with families in Park Slope (can provide other references on request), caring for both 1 and 2 children. She has also worked as a baby nurse, so is extremely capable with infants. Julie started with our family when my daughter was 6 months old. After letting go of our first two nannies, we were nervous, however, Julie came in and within minutes built strong trust and showed that she was extremely good at her job. Julie has a very calm and caring demeanor that makes you feel at ease. With both my husband and I being from other countries, we don’t have any family nearby. Julie filled this gap and was an integral part of our “village”. Our daughter is completely in love with Julie and whenever we are away or Julie is on vacation, she always asks for her. Since Julie has worked in Park Slope for so long, she has an amazing network of great nannies which she scheduled playdates with all the time. She also recommended various classes that she had been to before that our daughter loves. Another amazing thing (and one of our must haves) is that Julie speaks French, which is very difficult to come by. She speaks exclusively French to our daughter. Both my husband and I are very type A and have a lot of rules to follow, however, Julie never batted an eye and always followed through with anything we asked. She helped with all my daughter’s meal prep, laundry and did a lot of extras around the house that we never asked her to do. After the birth of my son, Julie was the only person I trusted to leave him alone with in those first few months. Julie treats our kids like her own. She manages the two kids extremely well and has a lot of patience (never gets angry and handles all situations calmly. She has really taught the kids to play together nicely, making sure they both feel like they are getting attention.

Our family is now in the process of moving upstate, but we are truly heartbroken to lose Deb. When we first spoke with Deb, we instantly knew she was the nanny we had been looking for. Deb is a warm, caring, loving, and professional nanny who has a great deal of experience and wisdom. She puts all of her energy into our son – Deb is constantly engaging him – from singing her extensive collection of songs and nursery rhymes to helping him reach the next step in his development in a fun way. She is also very patient and gentle with him, while also anticipating his needs – something that was extremely important to us. Deb’s positive energy and calming presence quickly made her a seamless part of our family. As first-time parents we were so anxious to have someone take care of our six-month-old son. We immediately felt at ease with Deb and she quickly earned our trust. She truly loves and cares for our son like her own. She cares deeply about his wellbeing and genuinely becomes excited and feels proud when he achieves even the smallest of milestones. Deb is very easygoing and approachable to work with, offering reassuring advice and helpful suggestions without forcing them. She is highly experienced and has great insight about childhood development and behaviors. Likewise, Deb is very receptive and open to your preferences, like adopting a specific schedule or routine. In addition, she’s extremely observant and detail-oriented and highlights small changes in his day-to-day behavior. Deb is also proactive and goes the extra mile in our home, whether it’s tidying up in the kitchen or preparing extra meals for our son. At the end of the day, Deb wants to make sure his things are organized and no task is left undone. She once explained that she likes to do as much as she can, so that we can spend quality time with our son. When Deb arrives in the morning, our son lights up and beams with excitement. When she’s heading home, she plays peek-a-boo by popping her head through the crack of the door, which – without fail – makes our son giggle. They truly have so much fun together and their connection is so special. We will miss Deb so much. We hope it’s clear why we care so much about her and want to make sure she finds the right family. It’s been a privilege for our son to be cared for by Deb and any child would benefit from the diligent care and generous attention she provides. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Deb's phone number: 347-601-7312

She adores our children and they adore her. She has a large extended family and is deeply involved with the many children in her life. From the moment she sat down for her interview all those years ago, until now, we realized that someone very special had come in to our lives. We cannot recommend her enough.

If you are looking for an absolutely incredible, trustworthy, loving, experienced, fun, smart, full-time nanny, Joyce is the perfect person to join your family. It is with such a heavy heart that we are finding a new family for her as we are moving abroad. Joyce started with our family over a year ago when my son was 4 months old. Our son adores her and runs to the door to greet her when she comes in the morning. She keeps him very safe and well cared for but always makes sure that he has a lot of fun during the day. Joyce is so experienced that she is extremely adept at anticipating our son’s needs yet incorporates all of our wishes and values for his day to day upbringing. She supported me with breastfeeding in the beginning freezing and unfreezing breast milk, tracking our sons nap and feeding schedule, feeding him, washing and sanitizing bottles, bathing and accompanying me for his doctor appointments. She always notices right away if our son is teething or unwell and raises any concerns with us. She was extremely diligent at following all the COVID restrictions during the pandemic and is fully vaccinated. She has been very capable dealing with his peanut allergy and is trained to use an Epipen. She is amazing at finding things to do both indoors and outdoors including music, painting, pottery, gym, sports, the zoo etc., setting up regular play dates and keeping him active. She is incredibly outgoing and personable and that has helped our children make new friends as she is great at building relationships with other local nannies and parents. Both myself and my husband have busy demanding positions and Joyce has shown amazing flexibility, grace and dedication with our schedules throughout her time with us providing sanity and relief on busy days. She is always punctual and is very responsible and reliable. She also provides us with pictures and updates of our son during the day. Joyce maintains the kitchen, toys and nursery clean, neat and well stocked. She treats our son as if he were her own with a lot of love and patience. She came to us with glowing references from the previous two families she was with for 8 and 6 years respectively and we are very sorry to part ways. She is looking for a position around Brooklyn or Manhattan starting in early July. We recommend her without reservation. Feel free to email or text me to discuss further. I would love to set up time to talk.

I'm posting on behalf of our former nanny, Irene. She's a much loved member of the family. Irene's experience is vast, having worked with kids of all ages as a career nanny. She's supportive of breastfeeding, bottle feeding, formula, a pro at potty-training, and the only adult who could get our toddler to branch out beyond favored fruits to fish, veggies, and sometimes even spicier flavors. There's no one more punctual, making a high stress morning routine run smoothly for all. Most important, she loved our kids like her own, and her impeccable references suggest other families she's worked with feel the same. She is dialed in to developmental milestones, and with our support sought out neighborhood playgroups, as well, going out of her way to engage and play at every chance. Neighbors often sang her praises unprompted, and our little one's smile whenever her name is mentioned (even now following separation due to Covid) says it all. Irene has been very cautious throughout the last year, and will follow any Covid precautions your family is taking. She is available immediately.

We are looking for a new family for our amazing nanny Paulette. She has been taking care of my daughter since she was 3 months old for almost 2 years and I cannot say enough nice things about her. The minute she walks in every morning, she has a smile on her face. She is incredibly reliable & flexible; always willing & able to work late or come in early whenever we are in a pinch & need the help. Beyond that though, she is sweet, caring, loving, attentive & patient. As a first time mom going back to work, leaving my baby was unthinkable until we found Paulette and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my baby in her safe hands. Day-to-day her responsibilities have shifted from when my daughter was a baby to now a toddler. Paulette is wonderful with babies She has 20 years of experience and she know everything. What I appreciated is that if you need advice, she knows what to do but she always respects that mother knows best and will do whatever is asked. I am very particular and she always respected that. Now that my daughter is a toddler she comes up with endless activities for her. She has a huge focus on development and really knows how to keep her having fun while learning. At home, she’s a great help as well, cooking dinner, doing laundry for the kids 2x week and cleaning up when there is down time. Paulette preference is to care for a baby so she can stay with the family as kids grow but she can be flexible. She can do up to 2 kids and no pets. Lastly, while she can always stay over for an evening or sniffy, she doesn’t travel with families. She is looking for a full time job 5x week.

Sharon is a caring, patient knowledgeable nanny who loves our girls deeply and has truly become part of our family over the past 3 years. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state and have to say goodbye to her. Sharon has been our full-time nanny (M-F, 8-6) for the past three years. We hired her when our first daughter was born and she now cares for both our girls (now ages 3 and 1). She has helped our girls grow into the smart, outgoing girls that they are. She loves getting them outside as much as possible and takes the initiative to arrange play dates as well as trips to the zoo, museum and music classes. She has helped us navigate COVID making sure our kids were kept safe, while helping them get social interaction that is important for their development. Sharon has the patience of a saint. She regularly redirects our 3-year-olds temper tantrums. These have been infrequent, likely thanks to Sharon's calm, level-headed demeanor. As a nanny for 20+ years and mom herself, she is amazing with newborns, always knowing what to do even when I did not! She is also very active, regularly walking the girls all over the UWS to different playgrounds. I never have to worry about the girls sleeping well at night :) She is also very reliable. She always on-time and has literally never called out sick. She helps around the house as needed with light cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, etc. Sharon is such a special person and we hope to find her a great home soon.

She's incredibly capable - one of the most important qualities to us! She just handles things and makes us feel supported. We trust her completely. She takes our son outside every day and is so sweet when she plays with him. She follows our direction but can be totally autonomous when needed. We are really sad to say goodbye to her.

Hi, I can't believe it's my turn to write these words, but here I am. Our caregiver of 10 years is looking for a new position. Yonette has raised our three kids from when my oldest was three-months old. It's hard to summarize what she means to us in a post, but here's what you should know - Every day when I get home from work, I find three happy (post-bath) kids in the living room, relaxed and reading a book. Yonette is extremely dedicated to what she does. She takes her job seriously and loves taking care of kids. That's what she enjoys doing most. My husband and I work full time and travel frequently for work (pre-pandemic...) and we needed someone who is on top of things and takes charge. When the kids were with Yonette, I never had to worry. I knew they were protected, happy and well taken care of. Each of our children loves her and has forged a special relationship with Yonette. Yonette made sure that every milestone was met and helped us through it as first-time parents. She made sure the kids were sleep trained, potty trained, and later on that they were keeping up with their reading and writing. She always had a plan -- whether it was taking them to the park, organizing play dates, taking them to the museums, story hours and the library. Yonette would make sure they were active and would take them to the park every day. She made sure they all had a fun, full day. What was amazing to see with Yonette is that she knew exactly what each kid needed at each stage. She's fantastic with babies, just as much as she is with toddlers and big kids. For Yonette, the well-being and success of the kids is her success.

Nadine has been with our family for 10 years. She joined us in April of 2011 when our son was 3 months old and has been with us ever since. We also have a daughter who is almost 8 and Nadine has been an amazing caregiver for both of our children and feels more like a member of our family. We are relocating to California for work and will be so sad to have to say goodbye after all of these years! Nadine is genuine, caring and loving. She has loved our children like her own and has always done everything she can to keep them happy, healthy, engaged and loved. Nadine has done it all - at the baby stage, she did the feeding, changing, implementing and keeping a nap schedule and provided developmental stimulation for our children with books and songs and long walks outside. At the toddler and preschool stage she also helped them with learning to walk and talk and potty train. As they progressed to elementary age, she has taught them responsibility and manners and how to do small tasks by themselves like getting dressed and clearing plates off the table and cleaning up after themselves when they play. All throughout she has been amazing at finding activities and seeking out social interaction for our children by being willing to take them all around the city to go to museums, parks and playdates. Once our children were in school full time, Nadine continued to prepare their breakfast, get lunch made and packed every day, did drop off and pick up and shuttled the kids around to their various after-school activities. She has always cooked and cleaned for our children, done their laundry (including ironing!), made their beds and cleaned up. Nadine is incredibly reliable and has always been willing to be flexible to help us with our busy schedules. She has never called in sick unless she was actually sick (which has been very seldom!), she has always been willing to come in early if needed or stay late and also slept over many nights while my spouse was traveling for work. Nadine takes pride in herself and in being a nanny. She appropriately views the children that she cares for as a reflection of herself both with respect to their appearance (clean faces, hands and clothes!) and their manners (say please and thank you and show respect.). Both of our children are smart, kind, loving, outgoing well-mannered kids and I truly believe this is a testament to Nadine. Nadine has always focused on the safety and security of our children. She has never taken risks with them. She does not get distracted or talk on her phone when she is out with them and I have trusted her time and time again to take care of them when they were sick. I never once worried about leaving for work in the morning knowing that Nadine was there to take care of my children. That peace of mind is truly priceless. During Covid, Nadine has been very careful and conscientious about health and safety. She got tested regularly and also got the vaccine as soon as it was available to her. She is now fully vaccinated. Over the years, we have had multiple friends, neighbors, teachers and parents of children go out of their way to tell us how great Nadine is as a nanny and how it is clear that she truly cares for our children. We feel so fortunate to have her in our lives and to have had her in our lives for so long and truly hope that she finds a family who will appreciate her. I recommend her without hesitation and am happy to answer any additional questions you may have

It was a hard decision, but our kids aged out of needing care. She is extremely reliable (always on time, never sick) and is professional (not a big phone talker at all). Yvette also takes initiative to organize playdates to ensure our kids are involved in the neighborhood and have appropriate developmental experiences. From day one, I felt extremely comfortable leaving my children with Yvette. I remember when we first interviewed babysitters way back when, she was the only that asked to hold my son. She truly loves kids. She is energetic, and always ensure that our kids have a good balance of park/outdoor time and school work time. Yvette would be really well suited for a family with a newborn as she used to be a baby nurse. I found her experience and sage advice very useful in the hectic, early days of motherhood. She is looking for a family who would need a sitter for the longer term and is interested in opportunities that are for a year or more. In addition to caring for our children, she does their laundry. I am happy to talk to anyone about Yvette!

Fernanda was our nanny for over a decade and became a beloved family member during that time. She remains a good family friend and comes to visit the kids (who are now high schoolers) whenever she can. She is the most responsible, hardworking, loyal and decent person imaginable, and she loves children. Having been through several other nannies & babysitters before finding her, I know the immense difference it makes when you find someone you can truly trust with your children; someone who will treat and care for them in the way you would yourself care for them. Fernanda is highly experienced and very practical in every way too. She was immensely helpful with housework and other chores, and is a flexible and dependable employee.

Hello! I am posting for my gem of a nanny Pooja who has been taking care of my son since he was 3 months old - he is about to turn 2. We have to relocate to Connecticut due to job reasons so she will be available mid June. My husband and I are both physicians and I have not had to worry at all during the day when we are both gone. I felt like with Pooja - a family member was taking care of him during the day. She is educated herself, and reads and sings to him all the time. She cooks fresh healthy organic food for him daily, gave him ayurvedic baby massages, and got him on a healthy regular sleeping and eating schedule. She has kept our apartment clean, does his laundry, and organizes his things effortlessly. We will really miss her so much.

Our family was fortunate to have an excellent nanny, Roxanne for about five years. We parted ways due to changes in my work schedule and Roxanne is now looking to work with another family. Roxy joined our family when our oldest was 7 months old and was with us when we welcomed our youngest a year and a half later. She is dependable, calm, soothing and supportive. She is even-tempered, teaches good manners and gentle discipline. She was a rock of support for our family through illnesses, tantrums and busy work days. When our children were tiny, Roxy spent a lot of time reading with them, studying words, sounds, shapes and colors. Roxy was a huge help with milestones like changing nap schedules and potty training. She makes great friendships and is responsible for matching me and my oldest with some of our earliest neighborhood family friends. Pre-covid, Roxy planned playdates and kiddie dinner parties and when our children were babies she delighted in taking them to classes. Roxy has experience with newborns on up and families up to four kids. Your family will be fortunate to have her in your lives.

Mikel, or Shemar as he likes to be called, is a hard-working young adult male, who attends college. He has worked with groups of kids at a summer day camp and has worked part-time in the evenings taking care of my nine-year-old son for 2 years. 0ne thing I loved about Shemar is that he treated my son as a younger brother. He assisted him with homework, took him to the park, played sports with him. He is a good listener, extremely flexible, and always on time. While he worked with us he felt a part of the family and had a great impact on my son. Unfortunately, we can no longer employ him as our family is relocating to a different state, but If you're looking for an older influence for your son, Shemar would be a perfect hire.

Parent Reference

Shernelle was our caregiver for our son and daughter for over 5 years, and started with our family when our daughter was 4 months old and our son was 2 years old. She is incredibly dedicated, responsible and trustworthy. She loves babies and I was always amazed at how she easily my daughter to sleep and keep her on her schedule (which I personally struggled with). Most importantly, she is a wonderful blend of strength, order and warmth - she managed schedules across two busy children's lives, and does so with a warmth and joy.. Shernelle loved to play with our children always coming up with creative, fun projects. She did not watch TV and was always finding ways to engage our children without devices. She also built strong relationships with nannies and stay at home moms which is helped ensure our kids have playdates. Our son and daughter have grown into thoughtful, loving children and I give Shernelle great credit for her part in that. When my daughter started kindergarten so we no longer required full-time help and Shernelle went to work for my niece and her college roommate who both had babies. Here is my nieces feedback: Shernelle has been with our family for a year as the caregiver to our daughter as well as a friend's son full time. Due to circumstances related to covid, my family & our friend's have both made the decision to move out of the city. Knowing that we were losing an incredible caregiver made the decision to leave even more difficult for both of us. She is kind and loving and communicated easily with both families. The kids were at very different stages when she started; my daughter was 10 months and our friend's son was 3 months. Shernelle managed their different ages and schedules seamlessly and we both always felt that each child was getting love and attention. She is excellent at managing both kids' schedules and keeping them safe and happy at all times. She kept them active, prepared healthy meals and contributed to their growth and development. I highly recommend Shernelle and she is also fully capable and willing to work for two families if anyone is looking for a nanny share.

Yvonette is a rare breed of nanny and has made a career of caring for babies and kids (18 years) and is also a certified baby nurse. While she worked for me several years ago, she has kept in touch with me as though we were family (the same goes for several of her other past employers). Yvonette was always prompt if not early. Not a day went by where I had ANY concern for the well- being and safety of my baby. Yvonette is a self-starter who initiated teaching my daughter new things. She kept my home spotless and I always returned to a happy, well rested and well-fed baby. Yvonette kept her to a schedule and was diligent about taking her out for fresh air, playdates or to the park. As I was a firdt time mom, I often looked to Yvonette for guidance since she’d already had raised her own children. I cannot speak highly enough of her. To this day, I feel so fortunate for having being able to have the peace of mind to have her caring for my child. It is for this reason I happily recommend her without hesitation.

Parent Reference

Pauline is an intelligent, friendly and engaging nanny! She started with our family when our first child was an infant, stayed through the birth of our second child and in total was with us for 6+ years. (We only let her go when I decided to be a stay-at-home parent.) Pauline was fantastic about finding neighborhood activities to do with the kids, always getting them outside and taking part in our community. Pauline is smart with a good sense of humor and a great person to partner with regarding the care of your kids! She read to the kids all the time, doing letters, numbers, singing, imaginative play, etc. - all the early childhood stimulation that they needed to be well-prepared for school. The kids love her and looked forward to her arrival. She was never late and extremely reliable. The apartment was always tidied, she took care of the kids' laundry and meals and would sometimes run helpful errands for us if it worked out with the day's schedule. She handled school drop-off and pick-up and kept us in-the-loop, communicating clearly any messages from teachers, etc. She was very respectful of our preferences or boundaries but also is a problem-solver who can anticipate what needs to be done. We are still in touch with Pauline, our kids adore her, and our neighbors still ask after her.

Hi parents, I know it's hard to find a good Nanny and it's even harder to find the right one that fits with your family. It's sad that we have to let go of our nanny Shin, she has worked with us for several years full-time and currently we only use her on a part-time capacity. Shin started with us when our first child was just 3 months, she is now 9 years and they continue to have a strong bond with her. Sadly we cannot support a full time position she is looking for. But I would really love to find her a family that could benefit from her like we did. Shin did a lot of activities with our kids, like reading, organizing play date, time at the parks & walks. She is also organized, clean, caring and fun loving. My kids were alway happy and I always felt safe leaving them in her care.

Parent Reference

Wilma was with our family for almost 14 years, since our daughter (J.) was 4 months old, at which point I returned back to work post maternity leave. She is very responsible, always on time, thoughtful, and diligent. Most importantly, she is a very safe, loving, gentle, supportive, and caring person. This was a crucial quality to me, as I felt her calm, patient demeanor would be beneficial to our daughter, which was true. For me the most important thing as a new mother was that J. was safe and loved, particularly as I was away at work - which is exactly what we got with Wilma. She was with J. through every stage: infant, toddlerhood, preschool, childhood and pre-teen years - and J. loves her very much. She is lightly supporting us now, but understandably wants to have a deeper level of engagement, so I want to help Wilma find another nice, loving family. She is happy to start caring for an infant again, or she is also happy to care for children in older stage ages - she is very flexible . We live on the UWS, but she is totally fine with other places in Manhattan and Brooklyn. She is extremely safe and conscientious about COVID, masking, hand sanitizing/wash etc. She is a kind soul, and she is a very important person to us, so I am taking an active role in helping her find a family. If any of you are in need of a nanny, or know someone who might be, please feel free to contact me at the 646# or you may contact her directly at the 917#. Thank you so much.

Our family’s caregiver of 9 years, Denise Bryan, is available immediately for a new full-time position, Monday through Friday. Hire her to watch your baby in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens. We are heartbroken at letting her go, but our kids are now in school full-time. It's a cliché, but Denise took care of our two kids as if they were her own. She is trustworthy and patient and always engaged. She read to them, played games, and sang them to sleep at nap time. She charmed the ornery children's librarian so our kids always had slots at storytime. Everywhere we went around the neighborhood, people would say hello to her and our children. She took our kids to the playground and zoo camp and dance lessons. Our children always felt protected and loved. She respected all our decisions. She is health-conscious, and took precautions with our daughter’s food allergy. Even when she faced a medical emergency, she handled it exactly as we would have done. Denise is certified in infant care, and would love the opportunity to help with a baby again, but is open to all opportunities. She recently updated her CPR certification and has a valid drivers license. We wholeheartedly recommend her. We consider it one of our greatest feats as parents that we were able to keep another family from stealing Denise away from us. Please snap her up now.

I am writing on behalf of Deborah (Debbie) Francis. She began working for us when my eldest son, Max, was 3-months old. As our family grew, with Beau 2 years later and then Beckett 2 years after that, Debbie became an invaluable member of our family. She is reliable, hardworking, and loving. Debbie worked for us for 14 years and to this day our boys still love her so much! Debbie would like to find a new position with a family who has a newborn. I remember being a new mom and being worried about finding someone reliable to look after Max. From the beginning, Debbie showed her skill and expertise in caring for a baby and subsequently for my other sons when they were newborns. She takes her position very seriously and I always appreciated how she kept the boys on the schedule I had outlined for her in terms of feeding time and nap times. In all the years Debbie worked for us she never once didn't show up and never called out sick. Debbie is 100% trustworthy and uses excellent judgement. She taught our boys to be polite, have good manners, and ....... to eat all their vegetables! Debbie asked me to let a potential family know that she is very afraid of animals and therefore would like to work for a family wihtout pets. You can call Debbie directly at (718) 926-9326 and you can call me for a reference at (917) 502-0636 and I can give you more details. Thanks so much, Claire
