She started with us when our daughter was only three months old, and helped us create a routine that she sticks today at almost 1. Debbie also kept us organized by tidying up our home and always suggesting new foods to try and educational toys and books. The next family to work with her will be so fortunate!

Parent Reference

I write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Deborah Francis. She has worked for our family for over 5 years as our beloved nanny and unfortunately we have recently been unable to keep her employed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We initially chose Deborah as our nanny because we could tell she was loving and nurturing – that was our priority in seeking a nanny – and we will always be grateful for the love, warmth, and attention she gave to our children (now 3 and 5). Our kids were well cared for, safe, and happy in Deb’s care. There is nothing more important than that. Deb is a woman with many fine qualities and years of child care experience. She is hardworking, attentive, patient, honest, reliable, and generous. Her depth of experience with newborns to school aged kids has been a gift for our family. As babies, she rocked our kids when they were sick, read them books, sang to them, and brought them to playgroups and sing-a-longs. As they got older she took them to the park, the children’s museum, classes, school drop-off/ pick-up, and playdates. She was always attentive and close to them while out in the neighborhood, keeping a watchful eye. She helped prepare healthy meals and snacks, including fresh pureed foods when they were babies. She has a great work ethic, arriving on time each day, and willing to work any hours as needed when our own work demands arose. In addition, we have always been grateful for and comforted by Deb’s respectful advice and partnership – from breastfeeding tips, to guidance when the kids were sick. In addition, she has always been willing to help out in any way she could from cleaning up the kids’ toys, to laundry, dishes, and more. Beyond the day to day work, Deb has become a cherished part of our lives –we have gotten to know one another’s families and shared in special occasions together. My kids love and miss her already - as do we - and she will always be part of our family. You will be incredibly lucky if she is able to be part of yours too. If you have any additional questions or would like to discuss further, we are available by phone or email.

Brenda We’ve relocated from our Brooklyn apartment to our vacation home during the pandemic, and given that we expect to work remotely for the next 6-12 months, we’re helping our warm, trustworthy, professional nanny find a new family. Brenda became a beloved presence in our lives when she started caring for our 2 1/2 year old and 2 week old daughters she immediately became a part of the family her love, confidence honesty and understanding won us over. Our friends and neighbors who ran into Brenda regularly stopped us to share how wonderful she was with our daughters. She is authentic, kind, friendly and fun, and we knew that our daughters were happy, safe and secure in her care. Brenda is a natural with children, respectful of parents’ preferences and wishes, and adapted with ease to our style of caregiving. She also gently offered insight and opinions from her professional experience and worked along with us. Our daughters love Brenda, who effortlessly juggled meals, laundry, classes, playdates, trips to the park and visits from grandparents, while still somehow managing to put our daughters down for their nap on time and keep the apartment tidy. Brenda was constantly singing songs, reading books and teaching our daughters colors, letters, numbers and manners. I returned to work with a peace of mind, knowing that our girls were well taken care of. Brenda is extraordinarily reliable. She was never late or missed a day of work, and when she requested a day off - which was rare - she always gave more than a month notice. She’s extremely flexible with her schedule and able to accommodate us. Pre-Covid, Brenda was meticulous about safety, hand washing and germ prevention. She’s FirstAid and CPR certified and gets her flu shot each year. As Covid emerged, she took every measure to mitigate risk and stay safe while traveling between our homes. Brenda is a true professional who takes great pride in her work, not only did Brenda forge a beautiful bond with our daughters, but she also established a loving friendship with other families who lived nearby, which is a testament to Brenda’s genuine kindness. We still video chat with Brenda, she stays in touch with all of the families and children she’s worked with over the years. With some good fortune, maybe your family will be next!

duties

Travel: Yes
Cook: Yes, for kids only
Laundry: Yes, for kids only
Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only
Live in/out: Only live-out

Parent Reference

Patsy joined our family in 2017 when our 3-year-old daughter Avery was just 4 months old. Our daughter just started preschool full-time in September, and it no longer made sense for us to keep her, but we value her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, dependable, and highly experienced caregiver for their young child--especially if you have a newborn or toddler. Patsy has always made sure that our daughter ate nutritious food, did her "tummy time" (even though our daughter fought it tooth and nail at first), had days full of enriching activities (like music classes, story time, Little Gym, and, with our approval, play dates), and spent time outdoors (on walks, at playgrounds, and more recently, riding her new scooter). She did all of our daughter's laundry, cooked her dinner before she left for the night, and regularly did light cleaning around our home during our daughter's naps. Patsy is extremely healthy -- she lives in NYC and never called out sick (and more importantly, was never actually sick) -- in three years, and she always gave us at least one month's notice before taking any days off -- which is a huge help for two working parents. Even though we both worked during our child's first three years, Patsy made sure we received pictures everyday so we always felt connected to our daughter and her daily activities. Patsy has loved and cared for our daughter as if she were her own, and our daughter loves Patsy (but not quite as much as mommy and daddy!). Patsy bought her birthday gifts, helped organize birthday parties, and brought her little souvenirs when she came back from her vacations. And Patsy was instrumental in potty training our daughter. It was a luxury to know that our daughter was in such great hands for the last three years. And while we were excited for our daughter to begin a new chapter of her young life, we were sad to part ways with Patsy. We would be happy to speak with anyone about Patsy if you have questions. Feel free to email us at [email protected] or [email protected] or call me at 847-530-7753...or contact Patsy directly at 646-606-9033.

Euline Peterson, our amazing nanny of 9+ years, is available for a lucky NYC family! Euline is among the most responsible people I've encountered in my personal or professional life. She perpetually shows up early to work, is always prepared, and has an extremely strong work ethic. She is firm when needed, and always caring; our children absolutely adore her. Our children's excellent manners are largely due to Euline, as are their sunny personalities. As both of our children are now in elementary school and have recently started in-person schooling, we no longer have a need for a full-time nanny. On top of her child-care talents, Euline is incredibly organized; she keeps the apartment neat, the kids on-time for all activities, and efficiently manages any and all errands. I can’t recommend Euline highly enough for any family in NYC looking for a full-time nanny, in particular those with babies and / or small children.

Parent Reference

Ginna has over twelve years’ experience with newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, up to teenagers. Ginna gave me so much confidence as a first-time mom when I was ready to go back to work. I was so nervous about leaving my son behind, but she helped make the transition so much easier because of her experience and the fact that she is a mother as well. She never made me feel that I was overbearing, and no request was too much for her to fulfill e.g. bringing him to my workplace for me to see him or sending tons of pictures throughout the day. She is very warm, loving, understanding, and very empathetic, she helped us in every way possible with our son. She always found new things to teach him and kept his brain stimulated which is especially important to her. She was always keeping him busy whether it was at the playground or on a playdate. She taught us how to help him play independently and trust me it helped when she was not around. I know the times are different now with this pandemic but Ginna always took the very best care of our son and always put his safety first and I know she will do the same for any family; she will go above and beyond. She will help make remote learning easier for your family and maintain all necessary protocols to keep your family safe. If your family is looking for someone who drives, she has been driving for more than seven years and has a clean driving record. Your family would be incredibly pleased with her because she will make everything easier for you.

Parent Reference

Morine is the best nanny we could have asked for, and we would like to find her a new home (we’ve left NY due to Covid).

A bit about Morine:

-Amazing understanding of child development. As a first time parent, I really value Morine’s understanding of development and milestones. She guided our whole family along in terms of “what comes next.”

-Experienced caregiver. Cared for our daughter from the time she was four months old until just over 3 years old. Morine has over 20 years of experience caring for children.

-Focus on structure and manners. Morine has helped raise our daughter to communicate well (please/thank you), have appropriate table manners, and demonstrate good behavior (eliminating/minimizing tantrums).

-Meticulous detail to cleanliness. Avoided germs and taught our daughter to do the same as well. Morine ensured that our home was left in great condition at the end of each day. She established good behavior with our daughter as well, in terms of washing hands and tidying up her toys.

-Great at networking and ensuring the socialization of our daughter. Morine built up a network of other caregivers in our area and would arrange to play dates with other children.

-Reliable. I could go to the office and have total peace of mind that my child was safe and well cared for and that my home was in order. Morine was totally in command and took her responsibilities very seriously. I didn’t receive calls when I was at the office, except for one occasion, when our daughter was violently ill. Morine exhibited excellent judgment.

-Punctual: In the almost three years she worked for us, I can’t recall Morine ever being late.

We are looking for a nice family for our nanny Sharlene. Sharlene has been with our daughter since 3 years old. She has been very helpful, respectful and understanding with our routine as full time working parents. We always have pace of mind leaving our little girl in her care. She was supportive in the way we wanted to raise our child (we wanted to use a Waldorf education approach from the start), like for example no media around our child, only if we needed to talk to her on the phone. She cooked 3 really nutritious meals every day from scratch (she is a good cook) and took care to teach my daughter to pick up toys by singing always the same song and making it fun for my daughter to participate and learn. She took our daughter to the park, library, music classes, and always had great ideas and feedback for enrichment activities. She made age appropriate friends and arranged playdates so I never felt that our daughter was lacking socialization. My daughter and Sharlene loves to read together often and singing, the we’re both happy getting on the floor, playing and getting my girl to laugh. Sharlene thought as well of creative age appropriate projects to do together at home which my daughter loved. Sharlene is firm when she needs to be, but always gentle and never loses her temper. Since my husband and I work long hours, we always appreciated coming home to find our daughter, well fed, bathed and happy. She also was key in helping to keep our apartment in order and would leave the kitchen spotless, toys tidied and laundry clean and folded. Sharlene always kept us up to date of the daily activities and sent us pics when appropriate. We were very sad to not be able to have her anymore. Our family was relocating overseas. Before hiring Sharlene I called her references and all were extremely happy with her and praise her knowledge and amazing care with infants specially. She’s always willing to work and available for extra overtime or babysitting. She’s very honest and hard working person who puts the child best interest first. We would be happy any time to have her back and be part of the family again.

Are you a new mom or dad looking for a nanny who will love your children and give you peace of mind that everything with them is taken care of when you're not there? I have your nanny! My children (8 and 5) adore our amazing nanny Catherine. Catherine was with our family for nearly six years since my son Tate was 3 months old and transitioned to a regular babysitter since our kids have been in school. My children love her so much. They run to the window every night after she leaves to shout their \\\"I love yous\\\" from the 8th floor down to her on the sidewalk below. I was so heavy-hearted when it was time for her to move on, and now it turns out that her latest family no longer needs her due to job loss during this pandemic, so she is looking for a new lucky family. At first, she can appear a bit shy with adults, but Catherine instantly connects and bonds with children. It was clear from her first interview with us that Catherine was so focused on our son, and her deep love for him was evident very early on. My mother, an early childhood educator, picked up on all of these things that Catherine was doing to engage with Tate that I didn't even notice. She has a gift. Catherine remains focused on our children, never distracted by her phone. She is always singing and reading books to them. She made a point of meeting other nannies in our neighborhood, so our kids had playdates and social outlets with peers during the day. We always would run into kids in the neighborhood who our kids knew well from their park time and playdates with Catherine. She had our kids outside as much as she could, running around the park, in sprinklers, being kids. Which brings me to the next of Catherine's attributes: she is incredibly responsible and always exhibits good judgment. If the kids got wet or dirty playing in the park (which I love!), she would always have them bathed and clean by the end of the day. She left our home more spotless than we left it for her. She was always on time and never took sick days - maybe two total in the six years with our family. Somehow she maintains this perfect balance of love, activity, and order. She makes it look effortless. We would be happy to recommend Catherine and just want her to spend the next 6+ years with a great family who would be happy to appreciate all of her gifts.

Kathryn has been with us since our daughter was born in mid-2017. In the infant stage, she seamlessly moved her to a routine schedule and was instrumental in her transition to solids (our daughter now eats everything which isn't common in the toddler set!). In the toddler stage (pre-COVID) she was extremely helpful in selecting classes and establishing play groups. She was always signing and reading to my daughter, which instilled a large vocabulary and a true love of books. She is firm but also loving, my daughter truly listened to and respected her. Kathryn also ensured we were never out of diapers, alerted me when shoes didn't fit and was a real partner in everything day to day. I always felt secure in Kathryn's trustworthiness, especially in these unique times. Her knowledge and experience would be an asset to any family.

Our wonderful, devoted, former Nanny is available now and is looking for a full time, live-out position, and is also willing to consider part-time. She worked for us for 6 1/2 years —from the time my daughter was 3 months till first grade. She has more than 23 years of nanny experience and is super-reliable, loving, organized, warm, and responsible. Our daughter has some developmental challenges and has made tremendous strides, thanks in large part to J.J. JJ is incredibly patient, attentive and extremely tuned in to my daughter and her needs, and that’s made a crucial difference in her development. We can’t say enough about how dedicated J.J. has been to our family, and the joy she’s brought to our daughter’s life. Our home was always spic and span when J.J.’s working, and she always takes special care with the laundry. She loves to prepare homemade food and is a fabulous feeder, taking true pleasure and pride in the whole eating process. J.J. can make friends with anyone, and loved introducing our daughter to all of the neighborhood community, from story time at the library to the playground. When J.J. was with my daughter she had her complete, undivided attention and was NEVER on her phone. Since our daughter successfully made the transition to full-time school, we no longer needed a full-time nanny. We still miss her dearly! The family that JJ works with next will be very lucky! As a mother herself, and a caregiver for some very lucky children over the years, JJ has the experience and spirit to become a huge asset to the right family. (Please note that most of her experience is with typically developing children.) She lives in Brooklyn and has lots of experience in Manhattan, specifically the UES and East Village (where we live). Her name is Jennifer Gentle; phone: 917-208-2270; email: [email protected] also feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Our daughter is now in school full-time, so we only need childcare in the late afternoon. Sadly, that means our incredible nanny Zymin needs to find work full-time. She would also be open to part-time in the mornings so she could split time and still pick up our daughter from school. Zymin will make for a perfect nanny for a family looking for a caregiver to grow with their family and young child. She has been with us for four years, since our daughter was 10 weeks old. She has nurtured our child and also provided support for us as first-time parents. She demonstrates the perfect combination of warmth and professionalism. She has decades of experience nannying for NYC families, so the basics of keeping a little one on a schedule, making homemade baby food, and spotting signs of readiness to potty train, for example, are second nature to her. She is kind and personable and as nurtured our daughter to become a well-behaved and well-adjusted pre-schooler. As our daughter has grown up, Zymin has provided excellent care without babying her. Now working from home, we see their interactions more closely, and it warms our hearts to see and hear their conversations, as if they are old girlfriends. Zymin is incredibly dependable and responsible – arriving on time and keeping up with the variations in our daughter’s schedule with activities and classes. During the pandemic, her commitment to following the appropriate protocols has put our mind at ease so that we can maintain as much normalcy as possible during a crazy time. I can’t say enough about how highly we recommend Zymin for a family looking for a kind, experienced and responsible caregiver for their child.

Parent Reference

We too have recently moved out of the Tri-State area and, with heavy hearts, had to let go of our beloved nanny, Pam. She was with us for over five years, caring for our son since he was two months old and then our youngest since birth. She became (and will always remain) a part of our family. The love and care she gave our boys (and all of us!) cannot be over-stated. Pam is not the kind of nanny sitting on the bench with her phone while keeping an eye on the kids. She is actively engaged in their care and she is so because it is her nature- she is driven to work her hardest because she genuinely cares about the happiness of the children (and family) she is caring for, and helping to raise good people. My stay-at-home mom friends would always tell me how lovely Pam was with our boys, how helpful she was during playdates, and how lucky we were to have someone so attentive taking care of our children. On several occasions, I even had neighbors I did not know approach me on the street as I walked with the boys in our neighborhood and say they recognized my boys from seeing them play with their nanny in the park, and wanted us to know we had a wonderful person taking care of them. In addition to her excellent care-taking abilities and having no problem keeping up with two very energetic boys, she is always on time (if not early), great at initiating routines and structure, very organized, neat, and tidy, and pro-active in making the days run smoother. She took care of all of our laundry (this is not something we even asked her to do), cleaning, and making well-balanced meals for the boys (and sometimes the whole family!). We miss her dearly and even asked if she could come stay with us for a period of time as we did not want to lose her. Unfortunately, she was not able to do so, but we would love to do what we can to help her find a wonderful family to help. If you have any questions at all, please do note hesitate to contact me.

Gill is a wonderful caregiver and person! We would highly recommend her as she has been a fantastic, reliable, loving nanny for my 14 month daughter, starting from when she was 10 weeks old. We are unfortunately moving out of state in December and Gill is looking for a new family. She is incredibly experienced and responsible and is an energetic and engaging caregiver. She is reliable, flexible, and knowledgeable - she was with her prior family (before us) for 7+ years, and is very comfortable with newborns and development during the first year. She was thoughtful about helping us set a schedule, manage naps, feedings, the transition to solids, and more. Our daughter has many allergies and severe eczema, and Gill has truly gone above and beyond in keeping her comfortable and healthy, making all of her food, actively engaging in provider visits with our allergist, and instituting multiple full body lotions a day. Gill lights up the room, and has done an incredible setting up playdates with other babies in the neighborhood. She keeps our daughter engaged throughout the day, reading to her, taking her to the park, finding outdoor classes for her, and playing with her. I get unsolicited feedback from other moms that she's great and we feel incredible lucky to have had her in our family. We are very sad to be parting ways, and wouldn't if we weren't moving cross country. Any family would be very lucky to have Gill, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions!

Fernanda is a wonderful nanny who has been a part of our family for 14 years since my younger son was born. She is 100% trustworthy, reliable, caring, loving, and hardworking. I always felt that the care, love, and attention my two sons got from her over the years was every bit as good as what they got from me. They might as well have been her sons. In addition to being excellent at childcare, she is also very willing to help around the house - cleaning, cooking, tidying. Since my sons have grown up, she has stopped working full-time for us and has taken on various other childcare roles, but she comes to visit us regularly and sometimes cleans for us. Having tried out many other nannies before we eventually found Fernanda, I can guarantee that she is a true find - solid gold.

We are looking for a nice family for our nanny Sharlene. Sharlene has been with our daughter since 3 years old. She has been very helpful, respectful and understanding with our routine as full time working parents. We always have pace of mind leaving our little girl in her care. She was supportive in the way we wanted to raise our child (we wanted to use a Waldorf education approach from the start), like for example no media around our child, only if we needed to talk to her on the phone. She cooked 3 really nutritious meals every day from scratch (she is a good cook) and took care to teach my daughter to pick up toys by singing always the same song and making it fun for my daughter to participate and learn. She took our daughter to the park, library, music classes, and always had great ideas and feedback for enrichment activities. She made age appropriate friends and arranged playdates so I never felt that our daughter was lacking socialization. My daughter and Sharlene loves to read together often and singing, the we’re both happy getting on the floor, playing and getting my girl to laugh. Sharlene thought as well of creative age appropriate projects to do together at home which my daughter loved. Sharlene is firm when she needs to be, but always gentle and never loses her temper. Since my husband and I work long hours, we always appreciated coming home to find our daughter, well fed, bathed and happy. She also was key in helping to keep our apartment in order and would leave the kitchen spotless, toys tidied and laundry clean and folded. Sharlene always kept us up to date of the daily activities and sent us pics when appropriate. We were very sad to not be able to have her anymore. Our family was relocating overseas. Before hiring Sharlene I called her references and all were extremely happy with her and praise her knowledge and amazing care with infants specially. She’s always willing to work and available for extra overtime or babysitting. She’s very honest and hard working person who puts the child best interest first. We would be happy any time to have her back and be part of the family again.

We unexpectedly moved out of Manhattan and would love to find our wonderful nanny, Myrtle, a new family. Myrtle cared for our two children (now 1 and 3) when I went back to work and although she was only with us for a few short months, she immediately made a positive impression on us and we miss her dearly. Myrtle quickly synched up with our complicated schedule (while always keeping our home extremely tidy!) and took the initiative to arrange play dates with friends from our daughter’s school. She was great about getting the kids outside and involved in different activities, while still managing to prepare nutritious meals for them. She was always on time and flexible with us when we unexpectedly needed to work a little later. I could tell that Myrtle truly enjoys being a nanny and caring for children – she immediately bonded with the kids and was so sweet with them; she has a very loving demeanor. Prior to joining our family, Myrtle was with a number of families for over five years each – this speaks to what a great caregiver she is, and her other families will gladly give her similarly glowing references. One of the comments that really stuck out to me about Myrtle from her previous family was that their neighbors would always tell them, unprompted, what a great job she does with the children – we had a similar experience with a number of neighbors commenting to us how wonderful Myrtle is with the kids. While Myrtle would love the opportunity to work with another baby so that she can grow with the family, she is open to all families. She also prefers to work full time, but understanding we are in unusual times, she is open to starting out on a more part time basis with the expectation of moving to full time. Myrtle has the ability to drive. Please reach out with any questions. We will truly miss Myrtle, but we are hoping she finds a wonderful family to work with. Myrtle is truly a gem!

Francilia is a wonderful, nurturing, and endlessly patient nanny. Francilia has been with our family for three years and took care of our daughter from three months to three years old. As we move out of New York we want to ensure that she finds a wonderful family to join. She created a loving, structured and extremely happy environment for our daughter. She was a crucial part of our support system as my husband and I have demanding jobs. She provided us peace of mind that our daughter was *always* incredibly well cared for. Francilia was never late -- in fact, she was early almost every morning. She always arrived with a smile on her face and happy to see us and our daughter. She was always flexible when travel schedules resulted in us asking her to stay over. Francilia kept our daughter on a predictable nap and eating schedule while finding many activities to fill the days -- both organized classes and ad hoc trips to the park and library. Francilia cooked healthy meals and also preps some meals ahead of time and would leave us options for the weekend, which was so appreciated and is a great example of something she did to make our lives easier without needing to be asked. Our daughter adores Francilia, as do we, and we are so sad that COVID has meant that we've left New York. Francilia played such a crucial role in our family for the past three years and will be a lifelong friend. We would strongly recommend her as a nanny for any family. We are happy to speak to anyone, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Our wonderful nanny, Joan, was with my family for 5 years. Before us she had all long term positions with other NY families. She started with us when my daughter was 6 weeks old. My husband passed away this year so we decided to relocate to be closer to family or I would have kept Joan with us forever. The hardest part of the decision to leave Manhattan was leaving Joan. She will forever be a part of our family. She still FaceTimes my daughter and me almost daily and we both absolutely adore her. In 5 years she was never late (almost always early!). She cared for my daughter as though she was her own. If i could move her with us, I would. Joan would play with and teach my daughter all day. They were always reading or heading to the park, library or museum. The best part of all of it was that I always knew she was safe. I didn't have a worry in the world when she was with Joan. I truly can not say enough good about this woman. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Our wonderful nanny Prelline is now available. Prelline has been delightful to work with, and she truly loves children and caring for children. She brings a positive, upbeat and absolutely loving presence into the life of our son, and we have been very lucky to have her in our lives. She joined us when our son was 5 months old, so I can speak directly to her sensitivity and supportive nature as a first-time mom of an infant. We learned a lot from her too. She helped introduce our little one to solid foods, gave him plenty of attention and activities, and socialized him with other children in play dates. Prelline is kind, loving, thoughtful, and conscientious, and was the only caregiver I met that truly made me feel like I could return to work after my mat leave. She has cared for infants and toddlers as well as older children, and has many years of experience caring for children in the city. We will miss having her calming and stabilizing presence every day.

Sharon spent 12 years with my family, she is someone who I trusted without question with my 2 girls from newborn through to middle school. Here are a few things that we love most about Sharon: - She is completely trustworthy with impeccable references dating back 20+ years. She has experience with newborns, toddlers, grade school, and teens - She stayed on top of all developmental milestones and engaged with our daughters in age-appropriate ways - Introduced our daughter to solids with delicious home-cooked meals, setting the foundation for her becoming a great eater. As the girls grew she provided them independence and modeled appropriate social skills. While the girls we young and I was away for work, Sharon was my partner…literally. She handled everything in a calm matter, getting her them the attention she needed while keeping me informed and calm. Sharon takes the initiative to set up playdates, find classes, and the girls out and about as much as possible - Our apartment was always clean and organized, the laundry is done and meals are cooked for the girls. Not that my girls are both in middle school, I am working from home, and we\'ve gotten to that stage we\'ve made the difficult decision not to have a nanny, I cried as I communicated this to Sharon. Honestly, the hardest thing was separating from someone my girls truly love and rely on. They still communicate with her via text, which I am very grateful for. In the world of Covid I would absolutely trust Sharon to be part of my family and to guide the girls through this truly challenging time. Above all Sharon was her for us and my girls in a way words cannot describe.

I'm writing this post to recommend our wonderful former nanny Nikita(Niki) to help her find a new family. She's been with us for almost 3years since my son was almost 3months & daughter was 3.5years old. She's a college graduate, warm, kind, professional, trustworthy, reliable & CPR certified. She was recommended to us by our family friends who were relocating, and they recommend her highly as well. Upon meeting her the first time, it was pretty clear to me that she was the right choice for our family. She devotes her full attention to my kids, keeps them engaged in different activities, arranges play dates, takes them for a walk, prepares healthy meals and snacks for the kids, and always prepared & thinking ahead. She also has great knowledge about age-appropriate developmental milestones for kids. Even without asking, she always helps keep our house neat & tidy, help run errands when needed, and help with light meal prep for us when we're busy with work. She's always punctual, willing to stay late, work on both weekdays and occasional weekends, and stayed overnight if I/my husband has to travel for work. Over the years, we've received unsolicited feedback from other parents, teachers & friends about her attentiveness, care & love for our kids. She's also conscientious about COVID safety as well. Niki has really become a part of our family, and just like us, any family would be fortunate to have her. We recommend Niki to the highest, and if you've any questions, feel free to reach me at [email protected] or feel free to reach her directly at (201)588-0756. We hope her next family feels as lucky as we do to have her in our life.

Shernelle is the sweetest, most professional nanny I ever had a chance to work with.

My son can be very stubborn but she would patiently work with him to get him to eat vegetables/fruits, have manners, and engage in educational play that's suitable for his age. Can't recommend her enough.

I am posting in the hopes that I can help find a new family for our nanny Andrea. Anyone who knows our family knows Andrea, who came into our lives shortly after my oldest, who is now almost 9, was born. She has not only helped raise our two girls from the time they were infants but has become an integral part of our family. There is literally no one in the world I would trust more than Andrea in caring for our children. She is one of the hardest working and responsible people I have ever met. Without any family living nearby, Andrea quite literally became our “person.” She was on call when I went into labor with my second child; as our kids grew older, they would beg us to go away so that Andrea could come sleepover. On multiple occasions over the years, I have been stopped in school or the playground by other parents, teachers, or caregivers who have encountered Andrea to tell me how lucky we were to have her in our lives, and they are absolutely right; she’s been a blessing. In all the years she’s worked for us, she has shown up early for work each day and has never called in sick. She is full of energy and quite literally never stops moving. She is engaging and full of life, showering my kids with love and affection since they were infants. Equally important for us, she’s not afraid to set limits and instill discipline but always with the gentlest manner and patience. Even while caring for our children, Andrea kept our house impeccable. She assumed the responsibility of doing all of our laundry without me ever asking. She's helped us through multiple moves, packing, unpacking, organizing - she is constantly taking the initiative to help out around the house without me ever asking. Most importantly, Andrea LOVES children, especially newborn babies. She has forged an intensely close bond with my children, and while it pains me to lose her, I hope nothing more than to find her the right family.

Debra Evans has 29 years of experience working as a nanny, and it showed the first time we met her. My husband spoke on the phone with over 10 different nannies before asking Debbie to meet our family, and we knew immediately that Debbie was going to be our nanny. Her confidence and knowledge of taking care of babies was very obvious from the start. She made gentle suggestions to us about things to try with her that were so valuable as first time parents. Our daughter has thrived with Debbie, learning to clap, crawl, and walk all with Debbie's encouragement. She captured all of these moments through pictures and video and shared them with us. As our daughter grew older, Debbie sought out other nannies taking care of similarly-aged babies and ended up with a lovely playgroup. Without our prompting, she found free/inexpensive classes and storytime in the neighborhood for her and made sure she was engaged in a lot of activities throughout the day. Her love for our daughter and her energetic nature shows as she even threw her a birthday party with her playgroup, complete with flowers, balloons, and party favors. She took great care of her over the last year, and we are very grateful for her becoming a part of our family. Debbie is -- CPR/first aid certified, -- has worked with her last three families for 18 months (family moved upstate), 7 years, and 8.5 years (all of whom she still keeps in touch with via phone calls + meeting up in person), and -- has previous experience working as a home health aide for 2.5 years and as a night nurse. Debbie is looking for full-time work, preferably with an infant/baby, but she has worked with a family with 3 kids in the past. She is also open to being paid on the books like with us. Debbie has been sheltering in place responsibly for the last four months. If her prospective family feels uncomfortable with her taking public transit, she may be able to get to your home via a car.

We recently decided to move outside of the city and are helping our wonderful nanny La Fleur find a new family. La Fleur has been working for us full-time for 2.5 years taking care of our 3 year-old son since he was about 6 months old. He absolutely adores her and always greets her with a huge smile and big hug. La Fleur is sweet, caring, dedicated, outgoing, energetic, trustworthy, hardworking, and pays a lot of attention to cleanliness, germs/hygiene, and child safety. My husband and I always feel comfortable at work knowing that she is taking care of our son. Since her first day at work, she has kept detailed daily journal entries with times and descriptions of all his activities (e.g. meals, diaper changes, bottles of milk, nap times, drinking water, classes, etc.) which I really appreciate as I could easily get a sense of his day when getting home from work and could look through prior entries to see patterns with his eating and sleeping habits. La Fleur washes our son's bottles and dishes, gives him daily baths, reads books and sings to him, changes his clothes, keeps his room and drawers tidy, cooks him nutritious meals, plays with him, and does his laundry. Outside of the apartment, she takes him to the nearby playgrounds and to his classes in the UWS and organizes playdates. We are often told by the neighbors, doormen, teachers and other nannies that they are very fond of her and that we are lucky to have found someone like La Fleur who watches our son so diligently while always having a big smile on her face. With her outgoing and sociable personality, she easily bonds with moms and nannies in our building and at classes with children of similar age to our son and will arrange playdates (always after first checking with us). Because of her, we and our son have become friends with several other children and parents in the building and neighborhood whom we otherwise would not have met. In addition to the usual childcare duties, La Fleur helps us by keeping the kitchen and living room areas clean, emptying the dishwasher, and unpacking our groceries for us. My husband and I feel lucky to have her as part of our family and are grateful that thanks to her personality and care our son has developed into an outgoing, polite, healthy and happy toddler. We are very sad to part ways with her and our son will be devastated, but we do not have much choice because of our move out of the city. We hope that she can find a new family who treats her well and values her efforts, compassion and skill. I originally found her through a recommendation on one of the Upper West Side mom groups from another UWS mom and La Fleur had many great references. She has experience taking care of newborns, twins, and toddlers/young children until school age. I'm happy to provide more details or answer any questions.

We left the city in March (like many others) and have stayed put in the Hudson Valley and enrolled our kids in school up here. One of the greatest losses of leaving the city for this period has been our nanny, Shaina Wilson. Shaina was one of the best parts of my day- she’s bright, joyful, positive, and GIFTED with children. She educates, shows massive amounts of love, cooks, straightens up, organizes, coordinates appointments of all sorts, she has it all! She is a jack of all trades- bringing her many life experiences into her nanny work in the most creative of ways. I just can’t say enough! She has a 9 year old daughter herself so she understands kids not only through her nanny experience but through her own daughter. Shaina is available for part-time nanny/educational work weekday afternoons-evenings. I know not everyone needs full time right now, so perhaps this concept will work for someone here. She’d love to find the right family or two in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan. She will move the needle for your kids educationally if that’s a need and/or make them feel deeply cared for and joyful- if that’s also what they need. And let's just admit, everyone needs as much joy as possible right now.

It's with a heavy heart that I wrote this post. Due to covid and our reduced work schedule, we have to part with our beloved nanny, Drue - or DrueDrue as the kids call her ? She has been with our family for the past 3 years, since our son was 3 months old and she has cared for him as if he was her own. She's sleep trained him, potty trained him at only 20 months, taught him to share and so much more! With each new phase, she has adjusted her care and their routine as he's mastered new skills. She has stayed overnight when we traveled for work and always goes above and beyond, bringing snacks, organizing parties with other children in the neighborhood for holidays, and is constantly mixing up their daily activities to encourage his development. Each night, we come home from work to find a happy, well loved kid and our house more tidy than we left it. We can't recommend her enough! We would love to work with Dru for the rest of 2020 but more than anything, we want to see her find a wonderful, new family to work with and will sort out other arrangements for our son if an earlier start time helps her to secure a new full time position. Please text me if you're interested: 734-765-5294

I am writing to recommend our wonderful nanny, Vicky, as we are sadly leaving the city. Vicky has been with our family for more than 4 years, joining when my older son was 2.5 and I was pregnant with my second. Stay at home parents would go out of their way to tell me how great she was with my children when I wasn’t around, and she formed relationships with other moms and nannies in our neighborhood. Vicky is warm, loving, quick to laugh, energetic, extremely safe with the kids, completely trustworthy, and has an amazing work ethic. She loves my boys like they’re her own and the whole family adores her. She still keeps in touch with the previous families she worked for, and I spoke to all of them as references before I hired her—the references were all stellar. Vicky never missed a day of work in 4 years, and routinely showed up at least half an hour early, at 6:30 in the morning, and would just start working. I’d have to remind her to leave in the evening. She was flexible to stay late if I was running late from work. She would take my kids all over the city on buses and subways to museums, the zoos, libraries, central park, natural history museum, etc. Nothing phases Vicky, she can handle anything that comes up in the household or any change of plans. She also managed our household—she had our credit card and did the cooking (she’s a great cook) and household shopping for us. She also kept the apartment spotless, even though that was not part of her job description. She has been extremely cautious with Covid, and I would trust her completely to take whatever precautions a family needs. She can start immediately, but can also wait as needed to find the right family. I am happy to speak with anyone for references.

Lisa was a terrific nanny for my 2 boys for almost 15 years and juggled all their stages from infancy to teen years. She is kind and nurturing as well as firm when warranted. She takes direction when provided, but is able to take charge and be independent. We trust her judgment implicitly. She is friendly and outgoing and is terrific about play dates, activities and the playground. She handles all the child-related tasks and is a wonderful cook too! Her next family will be fortunate to have her.

Our 2 year old daughter engaged for more than an hour doing arts, crafts, dancing and teaching alphabets and numbers both in English and Spanish (besides Mariana, I think only Peppa Pig or Micky Mouse can do that). Mariana is a sweet, loving and caring person that you cannot find easily and you will be lucky to have her as your nanny.

Our wonderful nanny is available and looking for a new family (we now need a driver, and unfortunately, Stacy does not drive; otherwise, we would not let her go!). Stacy looked after my two sons (2 and 3.5) and was so good and caring with them (and they are high-energy little guys, so they can be a handful!). She is kind, honest, hardworking, and funny. She is also incredibly clean and tidy - she ironed my kids' clothes! She really created such a good routine about hand washing and teeth brushing and other aspects of hygiene - I would have never thought that was possible with my kids, but she is really great at creating and getting the kids to stick to routines. Stacy is incredibly easy to work with - she is flexible and understanding, and straightforward. She can start immediately. She lives by herself and is very cautious about COVID concerns so that she can stay very safe.

Tessa is a valued member of our extended family, and we love her very much. It will be extremely difficult to part ways after 6 years together, but our family is moving out of state, so we are hoping to find her another loving home. I cannot think of one negative way to describe Tessa; we got so lucky when we found her. She joined our family when my son was 3 months old and was there for my daughter's birth. My son is now 5.5, and my daughter is 3, so she has experience with newborns, toddlers, kindergartners, and older children from a past position. Prior to joining our family, she was with a family for 13 years, and she was with another family for 5 years before that. I never had to worry about the children when "TT" was looking after them. The children were always fed well, and she was always prepared with extra clothing at the park in case of an accident. I think her reliability and preparedness are probably some of her best features. Tessa never randomly called out or made any excessive requests. We could always count on her, and I think that is one of the most important things when looking for a nanny. She is warm and caring, but not a pushover. Tessa was always somebody we could count on. One Saturday afternoon, during my pregnancy with my daughter, I was very faint and had to go to the hospital. We have no family in NYC, so we called Tessa, and she came to our house immediately. It was great to know that we had somebody we could depend on like that. She never had a problem if we had to stay late at work; she is experienced and physically fit. I don't think I can do her justice by describing her in writing, so please call us so that we can tell you first-hand how great she is.

Urila was with us for a short time but quickly integrated with the rhythm of the home and bonded with our two boys ages 5 and 3. By just week two they were sad to see her leave for the day. Urila is a professional nanny with years of experience. She did our kids laundry, kept the house tidy, organized their room and clothes, cooked all their meals and did the grocery shopping. Most impressively she has done an incredible job organizing my son's remote learning schedule for kindergarten. As many parents have experienced there are a number of apps, courses and activities that need to be managed which she has done independently. Urila has also taken on the initiative of making sure my boys days is filled with activities, she takes them to the park, the zoo, all covid friendly conscious activities that ensure they are safe and engaged. Urila has experience with children of all ages and prior to working with us she spent years with another family helping to raise their 3 kids. Your family would be lucky to have her, please contact me for more information.

Jen is a truly amazing caregiver who has become a part of our family, helping raise our two daughters over the last 4 years. I’m now home with them so we are transitioning out of full time care which is bittersweet as it means not having Jen in our lives on a daily basis. The girls completely adore her. Jen is a knowledgeable and experienced childcare professional, but more importantly she genuinely enjoys what she does. Her never-ending patience and gentle ways with our strong willed girls is proof of that! Taking care of children is definitely a calling for her, not just a way to make a living. She has 20 plus years experience as a nanny working with all age kids, especially babies and toddlers – and is still in touch with these families, meeting up on birthdays and other milestone events. Jen loves to be out and about with the girls, taking them around the neighborhood to parks and playgrounds, to gym & music classes and organizing playdates. At home she sings and reads to them, gets down on the floor with them to play, and takes care of their meals and laundry (tidying up along the way). She’ll send me pictures during the day so I feel a part of their adventures and recounts funny and sweet moments between the girls, sharing in the excitement. Jen is looking for a full-time position with a family she can grow with. We would be delighted to have her continue on with us one day a week if that arrangement suits her next family. She is flexible on timing, willing to come in early or stay late as needed and is also available for babysitting in the evenings or weekends. Jen has been cautious during the pandemic, following all mandates / guidance and is Brooklyn based. Feel free to reach out to me by phone or email if you would like to chat further about our experience with Jen. We feel so lucky to have found her through friends moving out of the city as my 1st maternity leave came to an end. They are happy to provide an additional reference. Best, Lauren, mom to R (4) & Q (2)

Leah is an amazing caring nurturing nanny. She started with us when my daughter was 7 weeks old and stayed with us for 5 years, through the births of 2 more children until we moved out of state. Leah is reliable and flexible and the positive impact on our family is beyond words. She taught our kids the alphabet and came up with stimulating activities daily. Prior to preschool she took the children to mommy and me activities as well as playgrounds, museums and the zoo. As a first time mom she helped me navigate the childhood milestones and colds. I worked full time and always felt confident the children were in the best of hands during my absence. On weekends, people in our building and other moms in the playground stopped me to tell me what a wonderful, attentive nanny she was. The preschools additionally substantiated how wonderful she was with our kids. My children are older now and continue to stay in touch regularly. Leah helped our children with mastering physical and mental tasks. She set the foundation for success in my children's lives.

We are looking to find a new family for our wonderful nanny Pearl. Pearl has been with our daughter since she was just 4 months old and has been with us for almost 3 years. As first time parents, Pearl was truly a gift to have as a nanny. Pearl was so helpful in every way during the difficult transition to going back to work full-time. She quickly came up to speed on our schedule and routines and we always had peace of mind leaving our baby in her care. She was very supportive and knowledgeable through all forms of feeding and helped as we transitioned from breast-feeding, to formula to solid foods. She made home made and nutritious purees that our daughter loved and I credit her for having a toddler now who is a very adventurous eater. We live in Williamsburg, and even though Pearl was new to the neighborhood (her previous families were in Park Slope) she quickly learned the lay of the land. She took our daughter to the park, library, music classes, and always had great ideas and feedback for enrichment activities. She made age appropriate friends and arranged playdates so I never felt that our daughter was lacking socialization. Pearl is an avid reader and is always reading and singing with our daughter, and she is also great at getting on the floor, playing and getting my girl to laugh. She’s truly an expert at raising children and was always ready to help our daughter’s development, whether it was taking her first step, weaning off the “paci” or getting her to sleep in her big girl’s bed. Our daughter is very high energy, and Pearl never once missed a beat in keeping up with her and making sure that she was safe. She’s firm when she needs to be, but always gentle and never loses her temper. Most importantly, I can honestly say that Pearl loves my daughter like her own, and always places her well being first. Since we both work long hours, we always appreciated coming home to find our daughter, well fed, bathed and happy. She also was key in helping to keep our apartment in order and would leave the kitchen spotless, toys tidied and laundry clean and folded. She's reliable, on time, and great at staying in communication. She always sends plenty of texts and pictures throughout the day so I could feel like I was part of their day. You really won’t regret hiring Pearl to join your family. She is truly a professional nanny and has over 30 years of experience. She has been employed with all of her families long term - 5 years plus - and we are only parting ways with her now because we have relocated out of the city, otherwise we would have kept her with us as long as we could. When we did our nanny search, I called all of her prior families and they all gave a glowing reference, and she has certainly earned a glowing reference from us as well. As one of the prior families told me - Pearl is the opposite of lazy. She’s always willing to work and available for extra overtime or babysitting. She’s an incredibly honest and hard working person who has raised three lovely, college educated daughters of her own. Even before Covid, she was always meticulous about hand washing, and she is extra cautious now taking all precautions with masks, etc. She’s looking for a full-time position in either Brooklyn or Manhattan. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 917-822-4003 if you have any questions, or you can contact Pearl directly at 718 781-7017.

A mother to three nearly grown children of her own, Liz has been helping to care for the children of others for more than two decades. As our son grew from an infant into a sturdy young man, she took pride in his accomplishments and in his growing independence. Her sense of humor helps her to be both flexible and resourceful. Everyone who knows her respects and admires her. Her reliability in her eleven years of working with our family was unimpeachable. She took on light chores as our son spent more time at school, helping to keep our family life stable and structured, especially in those times when we needed her "above and beyond" help--early morning hours, or even an evening stretch. She loves children and finds them to be immensely enjoyable. She encouraged and nurtured our son's continuing love of books, and reading, and modeled for him how to move in the world with kindness and grace.

I wanted to post for our wonderful former nanny. Her new family is moving to NJ to have more space and she needs to find a new family to grace with her love and warmth and tremendous trustworthiness. So I thought I’d post for her here... Wynelle Gonzales worked with our family as a nanny for almost 5 years, starting when our first daughter was 20 months old and our second daughter was 4 months away from being born. She worked for us both in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. \"Care\" is the word that comes to mind really; Wynelle cares in the most extraordinary way. She cared deeply about our children and about doing the best job she could as a professional nanny. I know this aspect of her personality is also tremendously important during the pandemic; while she was working for her current family, she was so careful about not coming into contact with others while the pandemic was raging. When she worked for us, she generally worked until 6:30pm, but she rarely left right on time. Every day for 4 1/2 years, Wynelle insisted on staying until she felt like she had completed everything she meant to do that day. In addition to caring for our girls, she helped with cleaning around the house and cared for all our girls' things. And she plays. I've never met anyone as good at endlessly imagining games, building puzzles, and running around playgrounds. Teachers and other moms were constantly telling me how impressed they were by her when I was not around. She read to our girls all the time, ever since they were babies. She did art projects with them and took them to activities around the neighborhood. She is infinitely trustworthy and responsible -- partially, I think, because she cares so much about what she does. She is never on her cell phone unless it's to organize a play date. And she is fantastic to work with. She is happy to follow your lead and also happy to take charge if you want her to. She is the ultimate \"team player\" in that way; I really love working with her. She just has such a great attitude and she is such a loving, beautiful person. We have been so lucky to have her in our lives. Her cell is +1 (347) 276-7005. Her email is [email protected] Feel free to call me to talk more. My cell is 646-645-6668.

I am writing to recommend my former nanny. Margaret Simmons, for anyone seeking full-time childcare. Margaret is an exceptional care-taker. With more than 8 years experience. She is energetic and productive, Organized, kind and thoughtful. Margaret started when our daughter was six months old and would have been with us for 8 years. While we would have loved to keep her on our family situation has changed because of this pandemic. Margaret is one of the most dependable people I know. She cared for our daughter fully and capably, following any instructions given and provided regular feedback on their activities during the day. In addition for the entire duration of her employment she was never late for work not once despite the challenges of having to travel by the unpredictable subway system to reach our residence. Linked to this she is also very responsive to our family's needs for example, my husband and I would both often have to unexpectedly work late during the week and she was always flexible to the situation. And even on nights where she worked late, she would always arrive promply the next morning. We appreciated that she was always actively reading, singing, engaging, talking and playing with her. Which we felt was critical to her early childhood development. Margaret is also active and enjoys spending time outside and going for walks, to the park, to the library and different children classes as well as arranging play dates. Margaret displayed the highest levels of integrity and honesty in all aspects of our interactions with her. There was never any trust issues over the duration of her employment. Any family looking for a nanny would be lucky to have Margaret take care of their children and I would highly recommend you hire her, if you get the opportunity. She will be an asset to your family.

We have known Nima both professionally and, over the years, more personally, and she is an amazing nanny and would be a welcome asset to any family. We recently moved from NYC to California temporarily, and given that we will be working remotely for the foreseeable future, we are hoping to find Nima a new family. She was with us for over 4 years (and with her prior employer for even longer), and for context cared for our older son from ages 6 months to 5 and our younger son from 0-3 and managed activities including both at home, shuttling them to and from school, etc. Some of her best qualities are: 1. Warm, loving, and kind – was complimented my numerous parents, even neighbors, that my nanny was so tender and caring for our children 2. Dependable – was late at most 2 times in the 4+ years she was with us, let alone being sick (not sure she ever took any sick days), and those were because there were copious subway delays. She was also flexible as it related to managing around our work hours (in pre-Covid environment) 3. Managing picky eaters – both my kids hated to eat, and Nima made meal times fun for them 4. Manners – my children are kind, thoughtful, and exceedingly polite due to Nima’s gentle reminders 5. Innovative – Nima constantly helped us try out new toys, schedules, playgrounds, playdates etc, and was very open about what worked for our children and what didn’t 6. Trustworthy – I was never worried about my children when they were with Nima and she sent pictures when I was traveling since she knew I missed them Every interaction Nima had with our family was simply genuine and we look back very fondly at how fortunate we were to have her in our lives. Had it not been for the pandemic and the changing circumstances, we would still have her with us. I cannot recommend her highly enough and am happy to address any questions you have.

Parent Reference

Marie was our wonderful, loving nanny for four years to our children (now ages 5 and 7). In that period, she became a truly valued and trusted member of our family. She is an extremely warm, kind, reliable and flexible person. She has a strong moral character and work ethic. We went to work each day knowing that we could fully entrust Marie with our children’s safety, well-being and development. She also kept us very organized, helping us manage the kids’ extremely busy schedules. She cooked for them, did their laundry, read to them and eventually helped them learn to read, and enthusiastically helped them with any other activities that we requested (e.g., workbooks). She was also great about getting them out of the apartment and to the playground whenever there was free time. Most importantly, she was great with our children – she treated both of them like her own and she is one of the few people that are son actually listened to. She struck that perfect balance of warmth and discipline. Unfortunately, due to the recent pandemic we moved out of the city and were forced to part with Marie. We are very saddened to be losing her as she is truly one of a kind. She has our highest recommendation and would make a great addition to anyone’s family!

Hello parents, Peace of mind is extremely important when you are looking for someone to care for your children. With our former nanny Shin I was always confident my children were in not only qualified hands but also loving and caring ones. Shin worked for us for several years in a full time capacity and currently in a part time one. She started when our first was just 3 months old, she is now 8 and continues to have a strong bond with her. This is a true display of the wonderful qualities and capabilities Shin has with taking care of children. Our 3 kids were always engaged, happy and excited to have Shin with them. Currently we are only using Shin in a part time capacity, prior to the pandemic she was working with another family in a full time role. The family she had her full-time position with like so many others has moved out of the city due to the pandemic. We sadly can not support the full time position she is looking for but I would really love to find her a family that could benefit from her as we did. She understands the caution around the current situation and was comfortable with coming to stay with us briefly so a live in role can be accommodated if needed. I would happily and gratefully answer any questions or details regarding Shin. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] Finding her a new family is extremely important to us as she has truly became a part of ours! Lauren Duc (917) 364-4089 [email protected]

Parent Reference

Paula has been caregiver to our daughter for the past 6 ½ years—since our daughter was aged two. In that time, Paula kept a close eye on our daughter while we were away at work, cooked her fresh and healthy meals every day, picked her up from school, managed her schedule and transportation to a myriad of after-school activities, proactively organized play dates for her with friends, took her to doctor and dental appointments, and helped her learn to navigate social dynamics on the playground. Our daughter formed a close and caring relationship with Paula. As parents, we were able to focus on our professional responsibilities during weekdays and return home to spend quality family and playtime with our daughter before the end of her day. In the 6+ years that Paula worked with our family, we could count on one hand the number of days she called in sick. We found Paula to be highly professional, dedicated and reliable. She also made sure to proactively communicate observations or issues related to our daughter she felt were important for us to know. We made a strong team. As our daughter enters fourth grade, we find that our needs as a family have changed. We will miss Paula and hope that she finds a wonderful, caring family with whom she can form a long-term relationship.

Our amazing nanny Terry has been a part of our family for the past 8 years, helping raise our two children. Unfortunately, as our children have gotten older our needs are changing, and we really want to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can count on. Terry has been with us since our son was 4 months old and the day our daughter was born. She loves babies, but transitioned seamlessly into caring for both of our children as they got older. She is super interactive and loves singing, reading and dancing with them - always looking to make them smile and laugh. She keeps them busy and happy with playdates, lots of time outside at different playgrounds, parks and museums. She is incredibly patient, calm, makes good decisions and can be firm when necessary. Beyond the fact that our children love her, we have an incredibly deep appreciation for how trustworthy, reliable and flexible she is helping us manage our busy lives. She is accommodating when needed and super reliable - most mornings she arrives early, but never late. Terry takes direction well, but is very comfortable being self guided where needed. Terry was never idle - whether playing with the children, cooking or keeping things super clean and tidy. Particularly relevant in these times, Terry has always taken health and hygiene very seriously, making good decisions for herself and reinforcing good behaviors with our children. We couldn't have done any of it without her! I know her next family will feel as lucky and loved as we have. Please feel free to reach out to me for more detail or with any questions - or you can contact Terry directly. Take care & stay healthy!

Leaving the city and want to find a fantastic family for our nanny. Rosemary “Rosie” Francis, joined our family two years ago, when our son was 8 weeks old, and he absolutely adores her. Rosie is nurturing, has a calming presence and is extremely reliable. She has been great with our son at every stage of his development from a newborn to an energetic toddler. When our son was a newborn Rosie was good about making sure he got tummy time at home and kept him on a regular schedule. Now that our son is a toddler, Rosie is always happy to get down on the floor and play trains or dance around the apartment with him. She takes him to the park whenever the weather is nice and has been very proactive about finding activities for him, like story time at our neighborhood library branch or a gym class at our local community center. Rosie is great about making me feel connected with my son even when I am not around. She constantly sends us pictures of him and lets us know how his day is going. In addition to taking wonderful care of our son, Rosie is great about cleaning up, cooking nutritious meals, making sure the dishes are done and his laundry is taken care of. Each morning our son runs to the door to greet Rosie with lots of hugs and kisses. Rosie came to us with almost 18 years worth of childcare experience. Rosie was with her previous family for almost eight years and they spoke incredibly highly of her. We will miss Rosie terribly. Do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions.

Parent Reference

Luz Elena Morales worked for my family as my children’s nanny from early January 2016 until we moved to California earlier this year. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a nanny for their children. My oldest son was 4 months old when Elena started working for us. She was able to get him smiling and laughing within the first hours of starting to care for him, and I never had to worry going back to work as a new mom, knowing that he was being well cared for and loved by Elena. Elena continued to work with us through the birth of my daughter 19 months later, and cared for both children alone when I went back to work, and through the birth of my youngest son in late 2019. Elena gives her undivided attention to the children when she is with them. She is always focused on their needs and engaging with them. She always noticed right away if they showed symptoms of illness and raised any concerns with us. She truly cares for them and they for her. They would run to greet her every morning when she arrived with big hugs and smiles. Elena is an expert in caring for newborn and infant children. She knows strategies for getting them to stay calm, sleep, and take bottles. She is also wonderful in caring for young children. She is proactive about getting them out to the park, to age appropriate activities, or scheduling playdates. She is knowledgeable about toys, products, and medicines, and often recommended items to me I had not heard about. She also worked with my children on educational activities, such as practicing writing letters and numbers, in an organic and fun way. Moreover, she instills in them manners and respect, such as cleaning up their toys and sharing with other children. She does so with positive energy and rewards rather than punishment. Elena is bilingual and spoke Spanish with our children at our request. Additionally, she has taken covid very seriously, recently tested negative on a covid test, and will take any precautions requested by her next employer. She is also currently taking classes to renew her driver’s license. Elena was very helpful around the house, including with cooking and light cleaning. She is a great cook and prepares healthy meals for the kids. She also helps with grocery shopping. She maintains the kitchen and children’s clothing and areas clean and neat. She was accommodating with requests to stay late or come in on the weekend, and responsive to after-hours questions. If we had not moved out-of-state, we would have planned to employ Elena as our nanny for years to come. We still miss her terribly and know that whoever she works for next will be very lucky to have her. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Sue is an AMAZING nanny who has worked with us for the last two years and has truly become part of our family. She started working with us when our son was a newborn and has been with us ever since. We are so sad to lose Sue as our nanny, but unfortunately we are relocating and she is unable to follow us. Any parent would be lucky to have her as a nanny. She is a godsend with newborns. My husband and I actually call her the baby whisperer because she was able to put and keep our son asleep for hours on end. While our son napped, she was very proactive in preparing homemade baby food for him, cleaning up any messes he made, and doing his laundry. Honestly, with Sue around, you couldn’t even tell we had a baby in the house! In addition to her duties in the house, Sue made it a priority to help socialize our son and routinely planned play dates, park outings, library story times, etc. It really has made a difference in his demeanor around other kids. Because of her, our son is so friendly and open to playing with new children. She is extremely reliable and punctual, is CPR certified, and is always present with our son (never distracted on her phone). Sue is also very careful when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness, especially during COVID. She is constantly washing her hands and our son’s hands, disinfecting after returning to the house, and always wears a mask when outside. I highly recommend Sue for your nanny needs. You won’t be disappointed!

Hazel has taken the children to classes and spent lots of the day outside, keeping them entertained, active and social. She'd take the kids to parks, the zoo, museums, etc. She has done meal prep, laundry, and some light cleaning around the house. We could not recommend her more highly and we hope she can find another loving family. She is available starting immediately and she can work only Monday through Thursday.

Sonia was very proactive about arranging play dates in the neighborhood, taking our kids to classes and activities, and loved reading and playing board games with them. She was also extremely reliable, punctual, safety-conscious, and very flexible and accommodating when we asked her to come in early or stay late.

Janice has been our nanny and truly a part of our family for 3 years, caring for our two sons 3.5 and infant. She has over 30 years of experience caring for children and is truly a professional at it in every sense of the word. I have learned so much about raising children under her guidance – from transitioning from bottles to sippy cups to potty training to managing through my older son becoming a big brother. She has always been 3 steps ahead of me in anticipating what my children need, understanding them and caring for them as though they are on her own. And the best part about her is that she does it with grace and gentle guidance and never makes me feel like she’s telling me what to do. A few things to highlight that stand out to me about what she has done for us: 1. Teaching my children manners – my son says please, thank you, cleans up after himself thanks to her proactive and continued discipline during the day while we are at work 2. Patiently showing him what it means to be independent -washing his hands, going potty, putting his dishes in the sink. 3. Having fun with him. The games, the jokes the laughs, my son is so happy just being with her at the park, playground museum or really wherever they go. 4. Giving us peace of mind. Through every stage I have never once doubted that my children are in the best care with Janice in our home. We are relocating out of the city and Janice lives 2 hours away so we are parting ways with her only because of the geographic circumstances. I cannot say enough about what she has done for us and would highly recommend her to any family. If you have questions/want to learn more, please contact me, or Janice (and she also has at least 3 other amazing reference families that can speak to her time with them).

Brenda We’ve relocated from our Brooklyn apartment to our vacation home during the pandemic, and given that we expect to work remotely for the next 6-12 months, we’re helping our warm, trustworthy, professional nanny find a new family. Brenda became a beloved presence in our lives when she started caring for our 2 1/2 year old and 2 week old daughters she immediately became a part of the family her love, confidence honesty and understanding won us over. Our friends and neighbors who ran into Brenda regularly stopped us to share how wonderful she was with our daughters. She is authentic, kind, friendly and fun, and we knew that our daughters were happy, safe and secure in her care. Brenda is a natural with children, respectful of parents’ preferences and wishes, and adapted with ease to our style of caregiving. She also gently offered insight and opinions from her professional experience and worked along with us. Our daughters love Brenda, who effortlessly juggled meals, laundry, classes, playdates, trips to the park and visits from grandparents, while still somehow managing to put our daughters down for their nap on time and keep the apartment tidy. Brenda was constantly singing songs, reading books and teaching our daughters colors, letters, numbers and manners. I returned to work with a peace of mind, knowing that our girls were well taken care of. Brenda is extraordinarily reliable. She was never late or missed a day of work, and when she requested a day off - which was rare - she always gave more than a month notice. She’s extremely flexible with her schedule and able to accommodate us. Pre-Covid, Brenda was meticulous about safety, hand washing and germ prevention. She’s FirstAid and CPR certified and gets her flu shot each year. As Covid emerged, she took every measure to mitigate risk and stay safe while traveling between our homes. Brenda is a true professional who takes great pride in her work, not only did Brenda forge a beautiful bond with our daughters, but she also established a loving friendship with other families who lived nearby, which is a testament to Brenda’s genuine kindness. We still video chat with Brenda, she stays in touch with all of the families and children she’s worked with over the years. With some good fortune, maybe your family will be next!
