Find a Brooklyn Nanny

Our circumstances have changed, and we had to say goodbye to our daughters’ wonderful nanny, Lupe. She has worked for our family for the past three years, caring for our two daughters, now 3 years old and 7 months old.

Lupe has been an exceptional caregiver from day one. Her daily responsibilities included preparing meals for the girls, managing their laundry, keeping their spaces clean and organized, and — something we especially valued — enforcing a no-screen-time policy in favor of hands-on, developmentally engaging activities. She was endlessly creative and excelled exceptionally in this regard, regularly planning indoor and outdoor activities including art, building blocks, dolls, stuffed animals, music, singing, books, library visits, museum visits, playgrounds, park outings and playdates that kept our daughters curious and active.

Lupe’s defining quality is the genuine love and dedication she brought to her role. She cared for our girls as if they were her own. Our eldest daughter, who has always been particular about who she trusts, attached to Lupe almost immediately — a testament to the warmth and security Lupe provides. In fact, we credit a significant share of our eldest daughter’s accomplishments and development to Lupe’s exceptional caregiving and affection over the last three years. Lupe was also unfailingly punctual and reliable, and she went well beyond her normal hours whenever we needed her. During my postpartum recovery, she came in every day to help put our toddler to sleep and worked weekends without hesitation, all so our family could get the support we needed during that time.

Additionally, Lupe has a wonderful personality and is a truly good person. She is warm, energetic, and highly sociable. Lupe’s personality set a loving tone for the character of our household. She is loved by our respective families, by the nannies who care for our daughter’s friends, and by the staff and teachers at our daughter’s school. Lupe is leaving our family only because our circumstances have changed, as we will require less childcare going forward. Lupe’s departure has left a hole in our lives and household, and she will be dearly missed.

We recommend Lupe without reservation to any family seeking a loving, dependable, and genuinely skilled caregiver. She would be an asset to any household fortunate enough to have her.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss her further.

Denise was an incredible part of our family. She joined us when my daughter was just an infant and stayed with us until we moved out of state. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better nanny.

She is warm, caring, dependable, and wonderful with young children. Denise was always finding fun, age-appropriate activities in the neighborhood, arranging playdates, taking my daughter to the park, and helping her learn new skills as she grew. She genuinely loved spending time with her, and it showed every day.

I trusted Denise completely with my daughter, and I would recommend her without hesitation. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have their child(ren) in her care.
Beyond the exceptional care she provided, Denise made my life so much easier as a working mom. She kept our apartment tidy and organized, stayed on top of the baby’s laundry, managed all of the baby essentials—from diapers and wipes to clothing sizes and supplies—and prepared healthy meals and snacks. She was thoughtful, proactive, and always looking for ways to help our family.

I would be more than happy to speak with any family considering Denise and answer any questions about our experience. She was truly an amazing part of our family, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

After nine incredible years with our family, our beloved nanny, Cecilia, will be looking for a new full-time position because our family’s needs have changed.
 
Cecilia has been with us since our oldest son was just four months old and has helped us raise all three of our boys, who are now 9, 7, and 4. She has been a constant, loving presence throughout every stage of our children’s lives. She is exceptionally reliable, punctual, and dependable and we have always been able to count on her to follow our routines, keep the children on schedule, and make sure they are prepared and where they need to be on time. She cooks all of the children’s meals, does their laundry, gets them ready for school each day, helps with homework and other obligations after the school day and is generally a wonderful caretaker. Her responsibilities have evolved as the children have grown but she has been a constant loving and caring presence in our family.
 
Cecilia is also wonderful at helping children build friendships and stay socially engaged. She is proactive about arranging playdates, friendly and easy to get along with, and has always developed warm relationships with other families, parents, and caregivers.  
 
Her commitment to our family has been extraordinary. When we moved from the city to the New Jersey suburbs three years ago, Cecilia agreed to come with us and become a weekday live-in nanny so that our children could have continuity while my husband and I continued commuting to the city. She traveled to our home each Sunday evening and stayed through the week, and we will always be incredibly grateful for the stability and care she provided during that transition.
 
Cecilia lives in Brooklyn and is flexible on location within Brooklyn or Manhattan. She is looking for full-time work and her hours are flexible.

To the family considering Isidora Avalos:
Our beloved Isidora (Isi) is newly free to share in the growth of another lucky family! Since my daughter (Bayla Rose) was 5 months old (now over 12y) Isi has provided loving, educational, adventurous, reliable care. Come to think of it, not just for Bayla, but for our whole extended family. She was full-time with us through 2018, then part-time until 2024. Her latest family just moved out of the area so there is the rare opportunity to snap her up full-time for your child.

From tender babyhood through active toddler and school years Isi provided superb care for my daughter, our aging dog, and the whole family! She is the type of caregiver who didn’t just read to Bayla, she created a cozy, interactive, learning time with books–did the whole bit: voices, taught words in English and in Spanish while still giving Bayla room to identify pictures, letters and numbers for herself. Isi didn’t hesitate to roll around on the floor playing “sick” when Bayla was imagining she was a doctor for the umpteenth time.

Isi was the type of caregiver who orchestrated long, joyful days with Bayla assuming the responsibility of full-time parent while I was on shift for 12 hours at a stretch. Each day with us lasted over hours. During that time Isi independently navigated Bayla’s feeding, napping, and hygiene as an infant then when Bayla was older playdates, playground romps, in-home time with dolls, trucks, play kitchen stuff and other toys, not to mention artsy projects, meals, light housework, laundry, older kid personal hygiene and bedtime.

Always punctual, typically early, Isi frequently stayed late without a peep of complaint (as often happened since I work in a Pediatric ER.) She asked for help when (and if) she needed it and took instruction well, though she rarely needed that. In fact, she often kept Bayla on a more consistent playing, learning, eating, bathing, etc. schedule than I (her mother) managed to.

She is a loving and fun addition to our family and always professional. If Bayla weren’t in Middle School with minimal after-school care needs, I’d have kept Isi on full-time.

Don’t hesitate to call or write me if you want to know more or need specific questions answered.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Greene

Nicole Charles has been employed by my husband and me as our child-care provider since 2007. She has cared for our daughter since she was 4 months old, and our son since he was born.
Our children (now 19 and 16) adore Nicole. She provides strength, comfort, guidance and warmth. Nicole’s dedication to our children is incomparable.
My husband and I rely on Nicole too (sometimes even more than our children do). Nicole is the first person I call in the morning, and she is always eager to hear how we are all doing and if there was anything about which she should be aware. Everything I know about parenting I learned from Nicole.
Nicole is deeply committed to her family, to our family, to her friends and to her community. We are so fortunate to have her in our lives.

Our incredibly nanny Magaly is looking for a full-time position starting in September or October. She has been with our family for 9 years, caring for our 3 children from the time they were 3 months old to elementary school. Now that all of our kids are in school full time, we no longer need a full-time nanny.

Magaly is incredibly patient, kind, and dependable. She is especially wonderful with babies and young children. Magaly speaks English and Spanish and she speaks to all of our children in Spanish. They are all now bilingual. She is like a teacher for our kids. She keeps the kids engaged in activities in the city, library visits and playdates. She is often reading to them, playing games and doing creative projects. She has an incredible amount of patience. Magaly is dependable and reliable and always on time. Our kids adore Magaly and all have formed very special connections with her. She also helps us with laundry for our kids, kid meal prep and organization of our kids’ things which has been invaluable.

Magaly has been such an important part of our family, is a very special person, and we can’t recommend her highly enough.

I’m going to struggle to describe what a wonderful person, loving caretaker, and positive presence Bhavana is. She took care of our 1-year-old, and with Bhavana, our daughter took tremendous strides in her confidence, language and walking (little pun there). Bhavana is patient and playful with her, and I love to see them together, and my daughter clearly loves being with her. She herself is quite intelligent (a college degree and partway through a Master’s in Data Science), fun and friendly, and we really like spending time with her and are grateful she has been part of our family.
We really weren’t planning to part with her, but one of the few daycare slots in our neighborhood with 3K opened up and we had to take it.
To list a few of her best attributes, aside from the good care she takes of our daughter:
1/ She’s an excellent cook for the whole family. I ate her food about 2X per day, but she was also very intentional about making things the baby would enjoy and would challenge her.
2/ She did fantastic at keeping the kitchen and whole house clean.
3/ She is punctual, usually early despite a commute from NJ to Brooklyn.
4/ She was great at fostering social interaction and community. She quickly made friends with the other nannies in our building (one of my friends relayed what glowing things his nanny said about Bhavana) and frequently brought our daughter to play with the other kids around. She was great about bringing her to Little Gym and the library and helping her stretch.
5/ Her English is fantastic and loved reading books with my daughter. I also wanted her to mix in some Hindi and she’s been great about it.

Please let me know if I can speak more about how lovely she is: my number is 929-264-7515‬ or email me. And to reach Bhavana directly, you can text or email her at 551-362-7697, vuttunoori0667@gmail.com

Beloved Nanny of 5 Years — Now Available

We are so sad to be writing this, but our family is relocating and our incredible nanny, Tita, is now looking for her next family.

Tita has been with us for 5 years, starting with our oldest at just 6 months old, and caring for our youngest from infancy as well. She is fluent in Spanish, incredibly warm and affectionate, and our kids absolutely adore her.

A few things that make Tita special:
– Trusted with our children since they were tiny infants, through every milestone — gentle, attentive, and endlessly patient from day one
– Warm, social, and a natural community-builder — she helped organize a local nanny group and is loved by other nannies and families alike
– An amazing home cook who makes nutritious, kid-approved meals every day — and her tacos are the best you’ll ever try
– Does the most beautiful hairstyles for the kids

If you’re looking for a nanny who feels like family, we cannot recommend Tita enough. Please reach out for more details or contact her directly.

I am writing to recommend our beloved nanny, Yolanda AKA Yoli, for a full-time position. Our family needs have changed for the coming year as all of our children will be in school full time. Yoli has been with our family for two and a half years and has cared for our 3 children (7,4.5, and 2.5) with love, kindness, professionalism, and joy.
Yoli started with our family part-time at 30 hours a week, but after a few weeks, we quickly realized how invaluable her help was and asked her to join us full-time. In the years she has been with our family, she has been a reliable and consistent caregiver for our children. More than that, her warm, fun, and joyful personality has made her an easy addition to our family. We will continue to love and adore her for the years to come.
Yoli has primarily worked with our baby from the time he was one year old, while our older two children were in school. She ensured his toddler days were full of enrichment, quality rest, nutritious foods, and many, MANY friends. Once he started his school program, Yoli has assisted in any and all school related scenarios. With 3 busy children, there are many activities, drop-offs, pick-ups, and schedules to keep track of. Yoli has never been late for a pick-up or missed an activity in all the time she has been with us! She has boundless energy and is always planning activities, play dates, and outings to make sure everyone has a great time after school and on days off.
Additionally, Yoli has been with our family through some major transitions. We moved twice in this short time, and she was there for us to help organize, plan, and ease the transition for our children. She has also helped our children meet some major milestones, including potty training and being rid of the pacifier (it was a miracle!). Our children love her so much and vie for her attention every evening.
Yolanda has always worked to make our lives easier and less stressful. She helps around the house, occasionally walks the dog, runs errands, and manages situations as they arise. We trust her implicitly and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an outstanding nanny and member of your team.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like any additional information!

Our wonderful nanny Rosa is looking for a new family. She has over 20 years of experience and is a truly loving and caring individual. She has always been punctual, and has been flexible when we needed her to stay late or work on a weekend. Rosa has taken amazing care of our 1-year old daughter – she is always engaged and I’ve never seen her on her phone except when she was playing music to dance with the baby. When our daughter naps, Rosa usually does some light cleaning and folds the laundry even though we’ve never asked her to do that, she’s just a really helpful and kind person. On our daughter’s first birthday, she even showed up with a little cake, candle and gifts. We cannot recommend Rosa enough, we would be continuing on with her if we could!

This post is about someone truly special: our caregiver Mica is available for full-time work starting in September. She’s been such a gift to our family and our daughter, and I so wish we could keep her on – since we can’t, I’m hoping we can find her an amazing family, preferably in the Brooklyn/BoCoCa area (but she’s open to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn too!)

Mica started working with us when our daughter was 1. There are so many things I could say about her and her talents, but a couple things stand out in particular. One is her energy – she has such enthusiasm and spirit in working with our daughter. She’s always down on the rug with our daughter playing, having dance parties, and generally just filling all of our days with joy. Her ability to turn around our daughter’s mood is truly next-level. And when she started, she instantly made friends with a whole network of nannies in our neighborhood, so that my daughter always has a gang of friends to play with. (The parents of those friends who have seen Mica in action also HIGHLY recommend her.)

Another is her flexibility and dedication to our daughter and family. From day 1 she’s been endless adaptable – adjusting to nap and schedule changes so easily – and a true partner in helping to raise our girl. She always has ideas on how to navigate hard stretches and is constantly devising ways to help – when I was solo parenting during a particularly hard time with bedtimes in our household, she even offered to come back at night to take a turn putting our daughter to bed.

Finally, her love, tenderness, and care for our daughter is truly unmatched. Our girl ADORES Mica, and I’m already teary thinking of her not being with us every day. But our loss is your gain, and I know she’ll be snapped up by a wonderful family!

As my kids are now both in elementary school, we no longer need full time childcare and we’d love to help Rosemarie find her next family to support! She’s been with us for nearly 10 years and she’s truly so special. In addition to caring for our kids since they were babies, she has also helped to cook, clean, organize, take care of household chores and laundry. She’s upbeat and fun, and has done an amazing job arranging play dates, keeping everyone entertained and even throwing impromptu parties with the neighborhood kids. We absolutely love her and she’s been an amazing partner in helping to care for our kids.

Michelle is a very experienced nanny who has been with us for 5 years. She is highly reliable and flexible. She has been great to our kids and we would not have been able to make our jobs and lives work for the past 5 years without her. She does light cooking for the kids and is flexible to come early or stay late on an as needed basis. She has helped us maintain the household by sending grocery list reminders and has worked well with our housekeeper and other sitters. I can’t recommend her enough – we are very sad to see her go. We are only parting with her as both kids will be in school full time starting next school year.

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend our nanny, Hyacinth, who has been with our family for six years. She will be available to join a new family at the end of this summer as our children are now both school aged and we no longer need full time care.

Hyacinth joined our family when our children were infants and has truly been a partner in raising them. She taught them manners that will stick with them for life. She potty trained them with patience and skill. She moved from the baby phase, playing on the floor and reading with them- to the school age phase of playgrounds, homework, and play dates with ease. Hyacinth has boundless energy and understands the importance of keeping children engaged. Her instincts, about our kids, about parenting, about people in general, are always spot on.

Beyond her skill, she is simply a wonderful person to have around. She is endlessly patient, genuinely funny, and deeply principled. She holds the kids to real standards and models the kind of character we hope they grow into.

She has also been an anchor for us in our Brooklyn neighborhood. So many of our closest friendships here exist because of her. She has a gift for reading people and knowing who would be a great fit for our family, and she seems to know every activity, class, and hidden gem in the area. She has been doing this work for a long time, and it really shows in how she shows up for a family.

Most of all, our kids adore her. We know what a difference she can make, and we want her next family to get to feel that too.

If you are looking for a nanny with real experience, wonderful instincts, and a genuine gift for loving children well, we cannot recommend Hyacinth highly enough. She has generations of enthusiastic families willing to vouch for her. Anyone would be lucky to have her.

I am happy to recommend Isi as a nanny. She cared for our daughter for a full year, beginning when she was just 4 months old. During that important stage of our daughter’s development, Isi provided consistent, loving, and attentive care, and it was clear that our daughter absolutely adored her. We always felt that our daughter was safe and well cared for in Isi’s hands, which gave us great peace of mind.

Isi was consistently reliable, punctual, and flexible with our family’s needs. She was also proactive and hardworking – whenever there was downtime, she would find ways to help around the house rather than waiting to be asked. That willingness to pitch in was something we really appreciated and was of great help.

Most importantly, Isi formed a wonderful bond with our daughter and treated her with patience, kindness, and affection. We are grateful for the care she provided over the past year and are confident that she will bring the same warmth, reliability, and dedication to her next position. We wish her all the best and would be happy to recommend her to another family.

After 10 years with our family, it is hard to imagine life without Carmen. She started with us when our oldest daughter was a newborn and has been by our side ever since. When our second daughter was born, Carmen was there from day one. She has cared for both of our girls through every stage, from newborns to elementary school and now into the pre-teen years. She has become part of our family.

I still remember those early days as a first-time mom. I worried about everything: naps, bottles, feeding schedules, whether my daughter was happy, and whether she was getting enough sleep. Going back to work felt overwhelming. But once Carmen was there, I never spent my day wondering if my daughter was okay. I knew she was safe, loved, and being cared for like she was Carmen’s own.

Carmen truly loves kids, and they love her right back. She is always taking them on adventures, whether that means exploring a new playground, spending the afternoon at the library or a museum, heading to a class, or simply getting outside to run, play, and be kids. She has a wonderful balance of planning fun activities while also making the everyday moments special. Some of my favorite memories are walking into the house and hearing the three of them laughing in another room. They would be building blanket forts, putting on little shows, making crafts, or just being silly together. They genuinely love spending time with her

One thing that has always stood out to me is how naturally Carmen connects with people. Some nannies are more comfortable with other nannies, but Carmen is comfortable with everyone. She will happily meet up with other nannies, stay-at-home moms, grandparents, neighbors, or parents from school or the playground. She makes people feel comfortable and builds friendships wherever she goes. That meant our girls always had wonderful playdates, friends to meet at the park, and a real sense of community.

We have moved four times while Carmen has been with us, living in different neighborhoods and homes. Every single time, she quickly figured out where everything was, from the best playgrounds and libraries to classes and activities. Before long, she knew the neighborhood, had built a new community, and helped our girls feel completely at home.

As our girls got older, Carmen seamlessly adapted to each new stage. She went from bottles and naps to managing busy schedules, getting them to activities, helping with homework, and encouraging them to become confident and independent.

Carmen is incredibly dependable and trustworthy. In 10 years, I never questioned whether she would show up or whether my children were being cared for. She became the person we relied on every single day. As two working parents, that was invaluable.

Any family would be so lucky to have Carmen. She will love your children, keep them active, help them build confidence and friendships, and become someone your whole family comes to rely on. We cannot recommend her highly enough and would be happy to speak with anyone who is considering welcoming Carmen into their family.

I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough. She was our nanny for the past three years and played an incredible role in raising our daughter during some of her most formative years.

Sharon is dependable, punctual, patient, and genuinely caring. She consistently created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment, always putting our daughter’s well-being and development first. She is calm under pressure, incredibly attentive, and has a natural ability to connect with children while encouraging their growth, independence, and curiosity.

Beyond being an exceptional caregiver, Sharon became a trusted part of our family. Her professionalism, reliability, and positive attitude gave us complete peace of mind every day. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children, and I recommend her without hesitation.

Our incredible nanny Christine is looking for her next family, and I truly can’t recommend her highly enough.

She has been with our family for the past two years, caring for our son since he was just 3 months old. She is joyful, loving, dependable, and has become such an important part of our lives.

As a new mother, I was nervous to hire a nanny back when my son was so little, but Christine immediately proved to be the most amazing caregiver, the transition was seamless, because she is so wonderful but also so experienced. I have never had to correct her in any way, she has always made the smartest decisions when it comes to our son. She does everything exactly how I would want it done, or better!

One of the things we’ve appreciated most is how she has made every day an adventure. She’s constantly taking our son out to explore Brooklyn—visiting parks, playgrounds, museums, libraries, and neighborhood activities that have helped him become curious, confident, and social. Along the way, she’s built a wonderful community of other nannies and families, creating lasting friendships not just for our son, but for us as well.

She has celebrated every milestone with him, encouraged his independence, nurtured his curiosity, and loved him as if he were her own. Knowing he was spending his days learning, laughing, exploring, and being so deeply cared for gave us complete peace of mind.

We will miss her dearly, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Christine is responsible for all of our son’s meal planning throughout the week, and she took the lead for us on transitioning him to solids when he was an infant. She loves to cook and makes delicious meals for him every day, never shying away from things like couscous or shellfish! As a result our son loves to eat and is interested in trying new foods.

Christine is available early September.
