I’m writing to recommend my fantastic nanny LeslieAnn, who has been a treasure to my family for 10 years, beginning when my son was 5 years old. Leslie is a kind, friendly person who treats children with care and respect and puts their needs first. She has great judgment skills and is very attentive. My son has always felt very happy and comfortable with her, and I feel confident knowing that he’s in excellent hands. Leslie always put a tremendous amount of energy and thought into keeping him engaged and active, day after day. An educated person, she loved giving my son worthwhile experiences, like when she took him to the museums or exhibits around the city. Leslie played board games, card games and guessing games that she invents, they did art projects and creative play activities ensuring that he had opportunities for exercise and active play. Leslie is simply wonderful, reliable, trustworthy and punctual. In the ten years of working with me, She had hardly ever call in sick. She is extremely hard-working and seems to always be busy. Over the years, I have trusted her to look after my son over night on numerous occasions and knew he was being well taken care of. Leslie prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner only for my son and it’s always a healthy combination. She is also a natural planner and organizer. She likes to keep the house tidy and the children's rooms orderly. If she has a few free minutes, she busied herself straightening up the apartment. When she is around, our house feels calm and smoothly run. We are very sorry to lose Leslie and all her talents as my son is now 16 and will soon be heading to college. I know that whoever hires Leslie will be exceptionally lucky to have her.

Parent Reference

Look no further for a nanny with all the great qualities you may need. Very qualified, experienced, knowledgeable and has what it calls for to be an excellent nanny/sitter. Each morning when Leila would arrive, our daughter would be practically jumping out of my arms to see her. Leila kept her fully entertained through play dates, trips to the library, the park and sometimes the museum. When indoors she would engage her in books, art, learning shapes and numbers. Leila is wonderful with children and I always came home to a clean and peaceful home. She is dependable, honest and always puts our daughter first, as if she was her own. Leila is able to be flexible with her hours, so when I needed her to come early or stay late, she was able to make it happen for our family. My husband and I never worry about the safety of our daughter and we trust Leila completely. She also has lots of knowledge with dealing with different situations from her previous experiences and also from being a Professional Nursing Assistant in a Hospital. Our daughter hit all the growth milestones and is a very happy baby. We need to thank Leila for that. She has always executed her duties in a very professional manner. We treasure her and value her contribution to our family. She has an in-depth understanding of the needs and abilities of our daughter and had a positive influence on her development. Since day one, Leila has kept us informed through text, photos, videos and verbal communication. This has helped ease the worry we may have had as new parents as we know she is always safe and well cared for. We never asked for many things but she does it no matter what, for example , she massage our baby and changes her whenever necessary. She is very concerned and practice safety and hygiene. She was a tremendous resource to me as a first-time mom and had great advice whenever asked. She has truly bonded with our daughter and you can tell they love each other. We will always think of her as family. We have never questioned Leila's reliability; she is always on time and always willing to accommodate us when needed. Leila has guided us with each milestone along the way to set up an amazing structure in our daughter's daily routine, including a sleep schedule, eating schedule etc. It is quite unfortunate that we had to relocate and move out of the City. If you are looking for a very qualified, experienced, loving, trustworthy, creative and capable nanny to join your family, you definitely would have no regrets having Leila. We offer our highest recommendation without hesitation and would be more than happy to contribute further and discuss her outstanding abilities at any time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any other information. You can reach out to us either by email: [email protected] or phone 703-283-1693 or contact Leila directly at 347-605-4346.

Parent Reference

Joan has been with our family for 9 years. She joined us when my first son was adopted at age 1 and my boys are now 8 and 10. Prior to working with us, she was with another family for at least 3 years and was in another long term placement before that. Both previous employers had wonderful things to say about her and one tried to convince her to move out of the city with them, :). I knew immediately when I met Joan that she was someone I could trust. She is quiet and calm, capable and confident, and does not ever get rattled. She has helped raise two energetic, active toddlers into near independent school kids. She has been late literally once in 9 years, and that was during a Snowpocalypse. She has been impeccably reliable, and has been flexible with her schedule when I am running late. She has ferried my kids all over the city for various activities, birthdays, events and camps and has never gotten lost or even had to call for help. She runs errands, does the food shopping and cooks for the kids. The house is always sparkling clean and tidy when I get home and the kids ready for bed. Joan has been a true partner in our family and we are so fortunate to have had her in our lives. We are now at the stage (probably a little past it, :)) where we no longer need a full time caregiver and so are looking to find the next lucky family for Joan.

Our two boys ages 3 and 6 are all grown up and are going school full-time in the fall. We are looking for a new family for Syleen, our nurturing and experienced nanny who has been with us for 3 years. She was always prompt and rarely sick. She has a strong work ethic, is proactive and loves to keep busy. Syleen is extremely responsible and can be 100% trusted to juggle school pick ups, play dates, classes, errands and more. She did all of the boys’ laundry, kept the house tidy, and prepared lunches daily. While at work we had complete peace of mind knowing both boys were in extremely capable hands. Syleen has a calming, warm presence which balanced out with our highly energetic boys who respect and adore her. We are sad to see her go but are confident Syleen’s next family will love and cherish her as much as we have. We are happy to answer any further questions you may have she is truly wonderful.

Laundry: Yes, for kids only
Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only

Parent Reference

I have never seen a nanny take better care of a child. Lorraene is warm and affectionate, and she took impeccable physical, emotional, and intellectual care of my daughter. Over the past year, Lorraene helped my daughter learn how to stand, walk, eat solid foods, and say her first words; she also helped my daughter learn how to use the toilet. My daughter always smiled and danced when Lorraene came in the morning, and she kissed Lorraene goodbye when the day ended. My daughter has a ton of energy and is constantly moving; Lorraene never missed a beat and always kept up. She packed every day with activities; they went to the park, the library, a music/movement class (most of which Lorraene found herself), read books, and sang songs; she constantly engaged my daughter in constructive play. Lorraene also befriended several local nannies and arranged for playdates and get-togethers. I worked from home for several months and was able to witness Lorraene's caretaking style. Lorraene effectively created boundaries and patiently worked with my daughter even when the baby becomes frustrated. As a first-time mom, I relied on Lorraene for her good advice and support. She is helpful without being overbearing. She believes that the best way to care for a child is to foster a collaborative partnership between herself and the parents whether that means making suggestions or adhering to a parent's preferences. Lorrane is always responsive by text and proactively sends pictures and updates throughout the day. I cannot say enough good things about her. We consider to be part of our family.

Our nanny of almost 4 years is available either part-time or full-time starting ASAP. Ideally she would do mornings till around 2 pm in or near Williamsburg (then she will be picking our daughter up from school at 3), but it’s a difficult ask, so she’s also available for a full-time job if that doesn’t work out. She has decades of experience and is amazing with children of all ages, and most importantly, she’s super energetic and 100% engaged at all times and genuinely cares for the child like her own. Can’t tell you how many times random parents I’ve never met have come up to me to tell me how wonderful our nanny is. Her background is Tibetan.

Our son had a nanny who was absolutely amazing, kind, caring, sweet, and patient: the ultimate super nanny. Unfortunately, we are no longer in need of her services. We will be moving, but fortunately for you she is available starting this month. She helped my son grow from 4 months to 2 years old, playing, teaching and taking him to the weekly classes. She was great with our son when he was a small baby and great with him now as an active toddler. As soon as she started, she connected with other nannies in the area, and gave my son friends to grow and play with at classes, play dates, and parks. She has taught him many school skills including the alphabet and numbers, but also how to sit and pay attention in class, follow directions and play with other children. My son has been a picky eater since day one, and she has helped us work with him to eat healthy balanced meals. Since we both work full time, it is peace of mind to have our son stay with someone we trust. I get private messages on Facebook and stopped at stores by people who recognize our son and tell us what a great job our nanny is doing and how much she cares for him.

Parent Reference

DD looked after my now 13.5 month daughter from November of last year, when I went back to work 4 months PP, until late August. We now only need part time, since my MIL is sufficiently recovered from knee replacement surgery, and DD is looking for a new family that can offer her full time hours versus splitting time between families. Going through the nanny search last year, I was really overwhelmed. I’d interview nannies who, one by one, seemed unenthusiastic and were more concerned to confirm that I’d pay for their metro card than talk about my daughter. But then came DD, who said, essentially, “Your daughter will be loved and looked after in my care. Don’t worry about a thing.” For an exhausted mom concerned about transitioning back to a demanding job, this is just what I needed to hear. And my daughter was loved and well looked after. DD worked long hours for us but seemed to have endless energy. Her kids are grown, so she has flexibility to stay late and stay over if you need her to. I’d come home every day to a clean apartment – DD is a very clean person and considers it her responsibility not only to clean up after my daughter and take care of her things (putting her toys away, laundry, vacuuming and cleaning the floor of her room, etc.), but keep common areas/floors not just tidy but clean, something I really appreciated when my daughter was crawling and putting everything in her mouth. Also, this is not anything we asked for, but she’d leave the kitchen spotless, take out the trash and recycling, randomly clean our microwave while my daughter napped, etc. DD has a large network of nanny friends in the 86th/Carnegie Hill area, which meant my daughter immediately had a group of friends to hang out with. For a while, it seemed like she was attending a first birthday every few weeks. But we live in Upper Carnegie Hill, so a little further away from her “home turf,” so DD also made new friends for my daughter in the neighborhood, closer to home/easier for playdates in our building, at a variety of playgrounds and at the 96th St library. My daughter has a long list of food allergies, and DD was really vigilant about ensuring my daughter did not come into contact with any food/liquid that did not come from our kitchen. DD would inform every nanny in the area of my daughter’s allergies and make sure they knew to keep their kids’ food away. She is CPR/first aid trained and knows how to use an EPI pen. (She also is fully vaccinated, gets a flu shot, regularly visits the doctor/dentist, etc.). DD is appreciative of ongoing feedback. She kept us well informed every day about my daughter’s activities, sending us lots of photos and videos, and genuinely delighted in the little details of my daughter’s day, which she shared with us in the evening. Although her time with us was relatively short, she spent several years with her prior two families, both of which had multiple kids, who gave her glowing recommendations. She is still especially close to the last family she worked with, and I know they will happily provide additional feedback (with only one kid, I can’t speak about the transition to two kids, etc. from personal experience – I just know that her previous family loved her). DD is a US citizen. DD (Delose) can be reached at (347) 995-0288. (She doesn’t check her email that often, definitely call or text). She is looking for full time, M-F in Manhattan or Brooklyn.

Wonderful, Highly recommended Full-Time Nanny Available! Sharon has been with our family for over 7 yrs since our first son was born. She has been a saving grace for our family, caring for our two boys from infancy through elementary school age with so much attention and love. From the beginning, Sharon has been a true professional - amazingly patient, reliable, and trustworthy (in 7 yrs, she's never missed a day of work!). She was excellent at getting our boys on a sleeping/feeding schedule and she taught us so much about all aspects of infant/toddler care. We especially appreciated her ability to deal with the unexpected - one of our boys has asthma and a nut allergy and she's been able to care for his needs appropriately in a calm, focused way. She is very playful, loving, and funny, always prepared to meet our children where they are no matter the day or their mood. At the same time, she gently guides them to stick to a healthy routine - everyday, we come home from work to find them happily fed, bathed, homework complete, dressed in their pjs, and giggling with Sharon as they play and read together on the floor. Most importantly, she not only supports our goal of raising empathic, kindhearted little humans, she's taught them through her own example by always responding to our boys with warmth and compassion. We will very much miss having Sharon as part of our family but our tremendous loss could be your gain. Interested in a 4 day work week, hours are flexible, and ready to start early September. We would love to help her transition to her next family!

She's just a fantastic nanny and human being who also came to me with amazing references, having stayed with her previous families for years. The only reason I'm posting is because my kids are in school full time (I only need after school help at this point) - if I could afford financially to keep Debra full time I certainly would.

Lorraine Garnett is an amazing person and tremendous nanny who has cared for and loved our two children for the past six years. She came to us when our older son was just six months old. When our boys were infants, Lorraine was instrumental in helping to establish feeding and napping routines and genuinely loved getting on the floor with the boys for tummy time, reading books and stacking blocks. Her love for art was central to their early experience. They were finger painting before they could talk and there is an ever changing art exhibit in our kitchen. As our boys grew and their needs evolved, Lorraine adapted her approach to help them thrive by taking them on adventures and educational trips to museums and parks all over the city. Their play date schedules are packed and Lorraine is excellent at keeping us informed of their whereabouts, sending photos throughout the day. Weather permitting, Lorraine and the boys spend most of the day out of the house. As the boys are now school-aged, Lorraine picks them up from school, makes their dinner, bathes them, does their laundry, and when we get home, they are happy and ready for bed. The boys adore, respect, and have each formed a very special relationship with Lorraine. She is a consummate professional and we trust her completely to keep the boys safe, grounded, and happy. The peace of mind we have while our children are in her care is priceless. We are so lucky to have to had Lorraine in our lives the past six years and cannot recommend her strongly enough.

She is always punctual and prepared for any scenario and I can trust that she will keep my children happy and safe at all times. I have received countless comments from neighbors and other parents who observe Kesang while I am not around, stating that she is a rare find.

Julie has been an important part of our family for the last 6 years. Our daughters are now almost 7, and we no longer need full time care. In fact, we haven't really needed full time care for the last 2 years, but we couldn't imagine our lives without Julie! I cannot say enough good things about Julie. She is loving, caring, calm, responsible and very experienced. Before she took care of my twins, she cared my close friend's twins for 6 years, and before that, she cared for triplets. She is a true professional and is completely unflappable. I will never forget when she called me from the playground when one of my daughters broke her arm on the monkey bars at the beginning of kindergarten (and it was not for lack of careful attention on Julie's part... my daughter is just that kind of kid!). I am a physician, and Julie was definitely the calmer one between the two of us! She was able to get both of my girls safely and calmly to the emergency room at my hospital without batting an eye, and she kept my other daughter calm and happy while I attended to my injured daughter. I never worried for a minute when the girls were in Julie's care. She was able to guide my daughters through what was a difficult period when my ex-husband and I were going through a difficult divorce, and she was a also lifeline for me (and I know my ex would say the same!). I would constantly hear from everyone- other parents, other caregivers, the doormen, all involved grandparents- how wonderful Julie was. Julie takes care of everything, from laundry to tidying to reorganizing the children's room to cooking and arranging play dates. She is reliable, punctual and accommodating. In fact, one of the few times she ever asked for a day off was to attend the Middle School graduation of the twins she took care of before us. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie and believe that any family would be lucky to work with her.

Babita Rai joined us approximately 1 year ago during a very hectic time in our lives with the birth of our 2nd son.

She had no problem taking my kids to school/camps/classes though the locations (nor weather) may not have always been convenient. She is quite active herself and has no problem keeping up with my boys. She is very social and friendly herself and is always happy to make various playdates for my sons. She is also truly a team player and is willing to help out in any way she can. She helps with keeping our place tidy and in order. She also has been able to help accommodate some early morning starts for both my husband and I by coming in early on certain days during the week when required. Babita also cooks wonderful meals including indian/nepali dishes for my kids. She is also wonderful with our parents and families when they have come to visit and has become very comfortable with them as well. When Babita joined us, i truly felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders and was elated to have a caring and trustworthy caregiver for my children. We are incredibly sad to be losing her as we make the move out of the city but would love to help her find her next family.

Dahlia is wonderful! I cannot say enough compliments that even come close to how she has come in and impacted our family. My daughter is 19 months and is obsessed with her. She is always on time. She goes out of her way to help with keeping the house organized and cleaned when needed. She has such an infectious smile and is kind and gentle. We are so sad to have to let her go but our circumstances have changed.

We unfortunately have to give up our amazing nanny, Raquel, as we can't keep her on full time (kids in school). She has been with us since my daughter was 3 months and son was 3. They are now 2.5 and 5.5. She has never been sick, always on time, very patient, and loving with my difficult daughter. She mainly speaks to my kids in Spanish but communicates with us in English. I can go on for hours on how she has really become a huge part of our lives. She not only is protective and loving towards the kids, she also will help out to ensure my husband and I are not stressed out or overwhelmed. We stay on the same page and have raised my kids together. From outside play to very little screen time, from full time pacifier use to no pacifier use, and from incorporating veggies into every meal. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. Here is an idea of what she is looking for: -Full time (roughly 40-50 hours) -Start time 8 or later - traveling from Brooklyn (Bushwick) -End time 6 or earlier -No pets (slight fear) Raquel is incredibly reliable, honest, gently, warm, caring, and most importantly patient and soothing with my kids. They love her so much! I do not know how we are oing to survive without her!

I am writing this letter to recommend our current nanny, Gizzelle. She’s been such a blessing for our family! We are moving away at the end of September and unfortunately, we can’t bring her with us… but our loss is your opportunity. Gizzelle is reliable, punctual, an excellent communicator and she takes so much pride in her work. She has distinguished herself from other nannies we’ve worked with and interviewed in that she has so much energy and joy! She engages with the children as soon as she arrives and operates like one of the family, helping my husband and I get out of the house in the morning without us even asking. She is thoughtful and observant and takes the initiative to be helpful on so many levels. Our home sparkles when we arrive home in the evening. Gizzille leverages all the resources she has around her to cultivate fun and engaging opportunities for the little ones. In no time, despite being new to the neighborhood, she developed a routine for our children that includes classes (gym, dancing, spanish singalongs etc.) and extracurricular activities (play dates, picnics, excursions) AND she has harmonized all this with a group of other children in the neighborhood. I love the pictures I receive of my children engaging with their friends in this little social group!

I will tell you about an amazing person we had with our family. Her name is Byrhonda or as we call her "B". We were so lucky to have her as our son's nanny for almost 2 years & she did some share with our neighbors down the hall as well, she also did date nights for a few other parents in the building. Our main reason for hiring Byrhonda is because we saw how much she Loved & Cared for our son and she made sure she will be there everyday no matter what. While we always thought she would be with us forever because she is ooo so sweet. When Byrhonda 1st started it was a rough road because our son wasn't used to strangers, but yet she came everyday making him feel safe & comfortable and in no time he warmed up to her and everything was great....we wouldn't be able to do it without her. She has 10+ years of nanny experience. Byrhonda was ok with LateNights & DateNights. She Never missed a day of work for the almost 2 years she has worked with us. She is CPR/First aid certified. Byrhonda is caring, reliable, patient, sweet, energetic, bubbly and overall an amazing person. She took excellent care of our son and found fun activities for him to do on a day to day basis. She always sent us wonderful pictures/videos of them without us even asking, so we can have an insight of how our son's days were going. When he was sick she keep us posted as well. Our son is a loving, amazing but sometimes shy baby who became a social bee because of her making friends with the other nannies and their kids, she organized play dates, learning activities and much more. You will be Lucky to have her as part of your family...we were. We can go on and on about how wonderful she is, we know you will find her to be as amazing as we do. We recommend Byrhonda without any reservations. Please feel free to call us or contact her directly by her phone: (347) 546 4065 or her email: [email protected] Thank you.

We are so lucky to have had Nalini as our son\'s nanny for a little over a year (our son is 16 months). While we always thought she would be with us forever, we are moving out of NYC for a job opportunity and want to make sure she is in good hands as she has been instrumental in our son\'s development. Nalini has close to 30 years of experience being a nanny and it shows. As much preparation and reading we have done to stay ahead of our son\'s development, Nalini has always been one step ahead of the game. Our son is a very loving, sweet and socially intelligent toddler and that is largely due to Nalini\'s careful attention and hard work. When our son is awake she is 100% dedicated to him, never distracted by her phone, and constantly talking or lovingly singing to him. When he is asleep she not only works tirelessly to make him food and do his laundry but she also takes such great care of us by doing our laundry and keeping things spotless. She is incredibly reliable, safe, always on time, and a joy to have in our family. We recommend Nalini without any reservations and we know you will find her to be as amazing as we do. Please feel free to call us or contact her directly.

Majida has been with our family since our son was 3 months old. She has raised our son and daughter (now 6 and 8) flawlessly. She is so warm and engaged, always reading and playing with the kids. Our son started reading on his own at 3 and I'm sure it's because Majida was always talking and learning with him. Both our kids were toilet trained by age 2. She really cares about her job and doing what is best for the kids. Not to mention she adores them and they adore her. They are always happy to stay with her, even when they are upset or sick, I don't have to worry at all. She is great about communicating with us and making sure everyone is on the same page about what rules and routines we want her to follow . Before us she was with one family for twelve years and she still gets visits from her college age former kids. She is that special. I've had moms I don't know find me at the playground and tell me how amazing our nanny is with our kids. We actually don't need her anymore but can't bring ourselves to part with her, so we are keeping her part time. So she is looking for 2-3 more days to fill out her schedule. I can't recommend her enough.

She took initiative in finding our son classes to attend and set up daily play dates to ensure he was socializing with other children. She always arrives on time, and we always arrive home to a cleaner apartment than when we left it. She is always willing to stay late during the week or come on weekends. Other families in our building have commented on how caring Wendy is and how wonderful she and our son are with each other. She has loved our son as her own and helped him develop into a sweet, happy, and loving little boy. Our son loves her dearly and we are devastated to be parting ways. We want to make sure she finds a family who will love her as much as we do!

Parent Reference

Charlene Joseph is just the best nanny and she is available this month! You couldn’t hope for a kinder and more capable caregiver. She took care of my son for 6 years until he was in his early teens. He is now grown but they continue to talk, often phoning one another or conversing through texts. One couldn’t hope for a better outcome. Charlene taught him how to trust, how to forge friendships and how to care for others. From our son’s point of view Charlene is an extension of our family - he says three people raised him, and he says, still have his back thru our continued love and care. From my side, I am so grateful to have had such an insightful and compassionate individual to help raise my son. To this day I listen carefully to Charlene as she imparts wisdom and observations. I can only hope that another family can have the same care and love that she gave ours. Charlene is a special person – warm, insightful and capable. Charlene has taken care of babies, toddlers and school-aged kids with four different families over the last 20 years. In our case she started when my son was six. He was a shy child so Charlene helped him make close friends, organizing play dates and arranging activities that fostered camaraderie. She taught Cole and his friends to cook (she makes a mean fried chicken); she helped build forts - cutting boxes into towns and masterminded zoos using his stuffed animals. Soon there were a slew of friends in his life and the house was full of art and projects. As he started school she helped him develop his primary academic skills. She was critical in elementary school; particularly supporting his math and writing skills – but she also understood that sports were important to Cole’s sense of success. She took him to games and the park on a daily basis – cheering on the sidelines. From my husband and my point of view Charlene did so much to make our lives less hectic. In addition to fostering the well being of our child, she was a punctual, dedicated, and an intelligent caregiver. When we came home in the evening, the house was tidy and all was calm. Her cooking is good and she always pitched in with light housekeeping and laundry. As a US citizen English is her native language and she is able to travel as needed. Most importantly she is unendingly trustworthy and capable. When Cole was left with Charlene we knew he was as well cared for, as if we were there ourselves. She is smart and resourceful, a plus in all aspects of child rearing. With the inevitable accidents, (at least if you have a boy who likes sports), she made the right decisions. When he was ill she was patient and unfailing, when he craved a supporter she assisted with kindness. Whatever the task, Charlene was always available for us - often beyond the call of duty. At age sixteen Cole was ill for an extended period of time. During that year he wanted only three people around him, his father, Charlene and myself. It is a testament to her character, and to her relationship with him that she was there for him even though she no longer worked for our family. Charlene, and her sister Sharon, played cards with him, told him stories, recounted tall tales until a very sick child laughed and forgot his illness. Her love for him made all the difference. It is our great pleasure to recommend Charlene, we love her dearly and anyone who hires her will be fortunate. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. We are at home in the evenings (917-364-0072) or daytime (212-334-8011). Best Leslie

Posting for our wonderful nanny! We have relocated across the country and had to say goodbye to our beloved do-it-all nanny, Sandra. Sandra was with our family for almost four years, in which time she helped raise our now 4 year-old son and 7 year-old daughter with love, compassion, and care. We miss her dearly and speak to her regularly from afar! Sandra is a wonderful cook, keeps a tidy home, and has tons of energy! She is a self-starter both as it relates to the children and to our home -- I would frequently come home to bowls of sliced fruit or my daughter's closet cleaned up and organized -- just because she had a few minutes while the children were busy. She managed our kids' schedules with ease and enthusiastically took our children to different activities and neighborhoods. Always reliable, Sandra was never late to work in four years with our family. She usually arrived early and jumped right in -- and never ran out the door upon our arrival home. Finally for now, Sandra is flexible and willing to stay late or arrive obscenely early. Sandra is looking for a full-time position with the right family to grow with -- please give her a call and let me know if you have any questions. Sandra: 347-528-5199.

My 3yr old daughter, who is quite spunky, has benefited from Diana's consistent and loving reminders to have good manners and be kind to others. Diana is very flexible with adding hours in the evening and on the weekends, does the kids laundry and feeds them lunch and dinner. She is very principled and always early or on time (amazingly).

When she started I had a 19 months and a 3 month old baby, had two more kids and she was with me through it all. She was the baby nurse for my 3 months old at the time, and she was so good with the babies that I just couldn't let her leave. So for my two other pregnancies she reverted back to baby nurse for 3 months, and after that back to being their nanny because I did not trust anyone else with my children. Throughout the years Sieana has helped the kids with their homework, school projects, kept them entrained when they where home from school or having a sick day. My oldest is now 13 and youngest 6. She will be missed at home, but I am happy that she is moving forward with her life, she would be a valuable attribute to any family.

We have been just so fortunate to have had Stephanie for our nanny for four years. She was WONDERFUL. From the time that I went back to work, when my TWINS were just 2 months old, I never had a moments worry about child care. As I work long hours in a very demanding job, that made my very hectic life so much easier. I always knew that my babies were being carried for by a warm and loving person who is very responsible and reliable. She has been like a second mother to the two of them and they love her. When they started school full time they no longer need a nanny. It is our hope that we can help her find another family that will appreciate her as much as we have. Stephanie can take care of babies and children of all ages and she has taken care of several sets of twins and is extremely good at it. She has done a great job with my twin boys and has taught them to share and love each other and to be respectful and independent. She has always enjoyed taking the children out for activities, the playground, museum, library, music class, swimming lessons. She took them to school and accompanied them to doctor and dentist appointments. She provided complete care for the children, making their food, doing their laundry, bathing them and most important playing with them, making them laugh, reading to them and teaching them their colors, numbers and alphabet. When I would come home from work my house was tidy and my laundry was done. If you need a great nanny or know of someone who does, please reach out. I would be very happy to tell you more about the great experience we had with her for 4 years or contact Stephanie directly at 718 406 2176.

Ms. Mary Joseph has been with our family from August 2010 until December 2018. For eight years, she devoted all her attention to the care of our daughter. She has provided quality care for our family: helping Annabelle become an independent child, helping her out with her homework when she started school, arranging for play dates and taking our daughter to her various afterschool activities. Ms. Joseph would also take Annabelle to medical appointments when needed and was always available if we needed her to help in an unexpected or urgent situation (for instance, picking up our daughter from school when called by the nurse office or stay later when both of us would have to work late). Besides being very organized, neat and a good cook, Ms. Joseph has an outgoing personality which made her very popular amongst our daughter’s friends and nannies. In addition to taking care of our daughter, Ms. Joseph would take care of Annabelle’s laundry, food shop and prepare her meals and lunch bags. In addition, she also did light house work for our family, tidying up the kitchen, our daughter’s room and bathroom and would cook for us, providing a tremendous help to me. A very responsible person, she would take her vacation while we were away and very rarely missed work, except when hit with the flu for instance. Our daughter and Ms. Joseph have a special bond; we were sorry to see her go and hope you will consider seriously her application as she is a very responsible nanny. She is a person of trust and is able to connect with children of all ages.

Arkita is an incredible nanny -- loving, positive, conscientious, organized, energetic, social, and flexible. Our needs are changing as I am switching to working part-time so we are very sad to part ways with Arkita but care deeply about ensuring that she finds a wonderful new family to work with. We have truly felt like Arkita is part of our family as she has cared for our two children (now 2 and 6 months) for the past 2 years. She takes great pride in her work and we credit her with ensuring that our son (with whom she spent the most time) is well-adjusted, plays nicely with other kids, and generally positive and cheerful. I would frequently work from home and hear Arkita and our son laughing together with their jolly inside jokes. She is energetic and proactive about setting up playdates, so that the kids have had many friends and always a playdate to keep them busy on a cold or rainy day. This was particularly helpful when I was home in between meetings but needed to get things done around the apartment. In fact, she helped set up a wonderful playgroup of similarly-aged kids, a very sweet group that plans and organizes holiday parties and the nannies care so much about the kids that they give toys to the other kids in the group on their birthdays. She also organized several adventures such as museum and zoo trips and has a great sense of humor -- things are always fun with Arkita! I have always appreciated Arkita's thoughtfulness as they went about their day -- she is a truly kind and loving person who treats everybody with genuine respect. She kept me sane by often preempting what I needed to do or reminding me about something we had on the calendar. She was proactive about suggesting gear and things that we would need for upcoming milestones (e.g., potty training, certain toys). Arkita is college-educated and was focused on our kids' learning and development, teaching them things that I hadn't thought of yet and gently ensuring that they have manners and are increasingly independent. Of course she took care of the basics, such as laundry for the kids twice a week, provided meals, gave baths, kept things clean, and organized the kids' clothes. But most importantly, the love she has for the kids she works with is genuine and strong, and certainly mutual. Our home has been filled with laughter because of Arkita. She is a very special person and we are more than happy to answer any questions you might have! You can also reach her directly at 347-545-9026.

She worked for us since my now-6th and 9th grade daughters were babies. She has extensive experience with babies (originally a baby nurse) and was a great resource for us through every age and stage! Carol is great at setting schedules, making friends and play dates in the neighborhood, and later on, making sure homework is done! She does light cleaning and cooking too. Occasional weekends ok.

I’m writing to recommend our exceedingly exceptional and truly stellar former full-time nanny, Rosalyn Thomas. Rosalyn (Rosie) has been a nanny for over 20+ years, has excellent and deep references, lives in Brooklyn, and is loving, gentle, unflappable, wise, hardworking, resourceful, responsible, and respectful. If you are looking for a nanny, you are so very lucky and look no further :) We have had Rosie for in our lives for almost 9 years. Before she became our full-time nanny, we knew her as the caregiver for the best friend of our son, K. When we had our daughter, V, Rosie was available, and we jumped at the chance to have Rosie become our full-time nanny. She has been with us for the past 4.5 years and it has been a tremendous experience. We are so happy with the influence she has had on our daughter, our son and really our whole family. Rosie is everything that you could want in a caregiver. She is calm, wise, nurturing, thoughtful, resourceful, and incredibly responsible. She was there for us at a very difficult time -- our daughter was only a few months old, our son was just starting kindergarten, I had to travel for work and, shortly after I left, my wife became ill. Rosie showed up on a moment’s notice and took care of both me and the kids. Suddenly everything was okay. From the start, Rosie created a consistent routine for the baby, helped our oldest navigate all of the challenges of a new school and gave us parents the peace-of-mind we needed to go back to work knowing that all would be taken care of at home. Rosie was able to set and maintain a consistent nap schedule - something we hadn’t really been able to do consistently on our own. She also was able to transition our daughter to easily falling asleep in her own crib from having to fall asleep in our arms. Rosie is fantastic with children of all ages and not just infants. I remember a few nights in particular when our eldest, frustrated from a hard day at Kindergarten, was rapidly approaching meltdown mode. Everything I did seemed to make things worse and it seemed like a tantrum was imminent. With expert experience, magic thoughtfulness, and emanating calm Rosie was able to defuse the situation and help turn things around for our son when no one else could. Since then, she has been able to care for two children with a 4 and a half age gap seamlessly balancing their different needs. Rosie is amazingly calm, thoughtful, trustworthy, gentle and hardworking. Over the years, Rosie helped make home-life happy and easy -- she did laundry, straightened up, helped to manage the kitchen/meals, school bus pickup, as well as other errands. Both of our children have grown and flourished into amazing, vibrant, joyful, young people under Rosie’s diligent care. Rosie has worked in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill for years and knows all of the great activities for kids, babies and toddlers. She is looking for a long-term, full-time position. We have learned so much from Rosie. You are in for a huge treat.

We are moving out of the city and sadly no longer need our wonderful nanny Sharon. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sharon as her love, care and work ethic are unparalleled. Sharon started taking care of our son at 3 months old and has been a wonderful member of our family for over a year. She has many years of childcare experience and worked for two families prior to ours for 4 and 8 years. Both mothers spoke extremely highly of Sharon and similar to us moved out of the city. She is also the mother of 4 grown children. I was hesitant to return to work at 3 months pp. I instantly felt more comfortable after meeting Sharon and seeing her interact with our son. She not only provided excellent care for our baby, but helped ease my transition and provided the support I needed. We interviewed multiple nannies prior to finding Sharon and within a few minutes, knew she was a special individual. The genuine love and care she gives our son is overwhelming. I love hearing him giggle as she sings to him in the morning during breakfast. They have a special bond that warms my heart and allows me to focus on work during the day. Sharon seamlessly transitioned our son to a healthy sleep and play schedule. He was a very difficult sleeper and fought naps constantly. Sharon worked with him patiently until he was on an age appropriate nap pattern. She structures their days with classes, socializes him with similarly aged babies at the park and arranges playdates. She keeps him busy with age appropriate activities and makes sure he gets enough exercise/playtime. Sharon sends me pictures and updates throughout the day and has promptly alerted me of any sickness or concerns (colds etc). During naptime, Sharon goes out of her way to help us with household tasks, without being asked. She keeps the apartment clean and orderly and there is never a toy out of place when we get home from work. Her diligence was especially appreciated during the sale of our apartment with frequent showings. Sharon always arrives early for work and has never called in sick or abused time off. She is extremely respectful of our schedule and always accommodates any flexibility when needed. She is a loving woman, who offers input and direction (sleep, eating etc) when asked. She always follows our guidance and is truly a member of our family and valued partner. Other mothers, our neighbors and class instructors (kidville & 92nd St Y) have gone out of their way to tell me how wonderful she is with our son. Sharon lives in Brooklyn and traveled to us on the UES. Ideally, we would like to help her find a position in Brooklyn. We are moving September 27th. I am happy to speak to you further and answer any questions you may have.

Tessa is an energetic, thoughtful and knowledgeable caregiver with more than 14 years of experience. She has worked with newborns, siblings, twins, nanny shares, and overnight care. In our two years with Tessa we have come to know an unwaveringly warm, capable, and attentive person. At the same time, she is steadfastly serious about her role as an instructor and her responsibility to keep our child safe. She is patient, kind, calm, and also firm and clear about important boundaries. She offers full reports of each day and sends many hilarious, charming pictures and videos. She helped us to create and maintain schedules for naps and meals, and she cooks nutritious food for the whole family to enjoy. She does light housework (emptying the dishwasher, folding baby clothes, emptying the diaper pail, even cleaning up the occasional dog accident) without being asked, and our homes are always tidy when we return. Despite a long commute, she is never late and often a few minutes early. Our child rushes to the door when she Tessa arrives in the morning and always wants a hug before she leaves at night. She talks about her on weekends and vacations, and she wants to sing songs or play games that Tessa has taught her. She sees her as part of our family. This transition is made easier only by the certainty that another family will be so happy and lucky to have Tessa’s kindness, expertise, and unflappable good nature in their lives.

Nadine has been our nanny and part of our family for the past 8 years from the time our oldest child was 3 months old. During that time we had two more children. Nadine has always taken care of our children with genuine love, compassion and kindness. We and our children really love Nadine! She is a great nanny in every way, skilled at handling all matters relating to babies and active young children – naps, feeding, bathing, playing, coordinating their busy schedules, drop off / pick up times from school, playdates and after school activities, keeping their toys and rooms tidy and organized and their clothing laundered. She respects our children as little people and really takes great care of them. She never raises her voice but creates boundaries and will follow your guidance on child appropriate discipline and rules. Nadine is always very responsive and communicative by phone, text, Whats App etc. and proactively sends photos and videos during the day so that we get to see what the kids are up to. She is reliable and always on time even on those days when there is bad weather and difficult to travel to the city from where she lives. When we get home from work the kids are always fed and bathed and ready to interact with us. Now that our kids are older and out in school and various all day programs, unfortunately we are unable to offer Nadine her usual full time hours. We would love to see Nadine join and work with another loving family.

This is a letter of recommendation for our nanny, Cecilia, who needs to find a good family to work with full time. My daughter Clara is going to boarding school, and Cecilia has been with us since Clara was a baby - and I can vouch for her character and values. Cecilia worked with us for 14 years, helping me with Clara full time as she was a baby as I went back to full-time work. My daughter was born at 26 weeks and thus needed particular care and attention - a special diet, nebulizers when she got a cold. Cecilia was not only completely prepared by her experience with babies, but she also made sure Clara attended scheduled doctor's visits and ate a healthy and nutritious diet as well. Cecilia has always been respectful and friendly - as well as an extremely hard worker, and a pleasure to be around. She has become part of our family, and I'd love to be able to assure she finds a good family to work with. Cecilia - who is a US Resident - was born in Perú, and feels more comfortable working with a family that speaks her native language, Spanish. She has worked with us in Tribeca for 14 years, and runs errands, takes Clara to appointments and classes, and has no difficulty with her working knowledge of English. My daughter 's second language is Spanish, in large part thanks to being with Cecilia. You can hire her without any apprehensions regarding her character and consider this reference as unbiased and fair.

We are looking to help our amazing French-speaking nanny of two years to find another full-time position. Our family is re-locating back to Canada (we would take Julie with us if we could!!) and would like to find another family who she can have such a great impact on. Julie has over 20 years of long-term experience with families in Park Slope (can provide other references on request), caring for both 1 and 2 children. She has also worked as a baby nurse, so is extremely capable with infants. Julie started with our family when my daughter was 6 months old. After letting go of our first two nannies, we were nervous, however, Julie came in and within minutes built strong trust and showed that she was extremely good at her job. Julie has a very calm and caring demeanor that makes you feel at ease. With both my husband and I being from other countries, we don’t have any family nearby. Julie filled this gap and was an integral part of our “village”. Our daughter is completely in love with Julie and whenever we are away or Julie is on vacation, she always asks for her. Since Julie has worked in Park Slope for so long, she has an amazing network of great nannies which she scheduled playdates with all the time. She also recommended various classes that she had been to before that our daughter loves. Another amazing thing (and one of our must haves) is that Julie speaks French, which is very difficult to come by. She speaks exclusively French to our daughter. At 2 years old, our daughter fully understands what Julie says to her and can speak a lot of words in French. Julie makes sure to read a lot of books to her in French as well. Both my husband and I are very type A and have a lot of rules to follow, however, Julie never batted an eye and always followed through with anything we asked. She helped with all my daughter’s meal prep, laundry and did a lot of extras around the house that we never asked her to do. We also live on the third floor of a walk up and Julie manages the stairs with ease. After the birth of my son, Julie was the only person I trusted to leave him alone with in those first few months. Even though I am on maternity leave, Julie always offers to watch both my daughter and son so that I can run errands. Julie treats our daughter like her own and now with the birth of my son, she has taken him in the same way. She reads to him and helps our daughter and son play together, making sure they both feel like they are getting attention. My daughter is starting preschool next week until we move, however, we are keeping Julie on until the end of September, but if a family needs her more urgently, as I am on maternity leave, we can be flexible with the start date (though I will be very very sad to see her go).

She did not walk down the street, talking on the phone while with my daughter; instead, she always kept her attention on my daughter.

This reference is for a nanny (full-time or part-time) Mon-Fri 8am-6pm; as well as newborn night nurse 7pm-7am. Jenine is the consummate professional baby nurse, bringing a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in caring for newborns alike. You don’t to need to bother with reading up on baby books. Just hire Jenine and she’ll coach you on everything from increasing milk production to swaddling. I call her the Baby Whisperer because she knows what the baby wants just by listening to the crying. She was a godsend for us as first-time parents; I couldn’t bear to let her go even when our first was sleeping through the night (and all thanks to her sleep training!). She is warm and funny, and she truly cares for the parents just as much as her tiny charges. After my second was born, I was struggling with managing both a toddler and a newborn at home. Jenine stayed beyond her night nurse hours and duties to take care of both of my children (both under 2 years of age) during the day. She basically kicked me out of the apartment so that I do something for myself. My 2 kids were in great hands with Jenine: she spent 7 years as a full-time nanny for another NYC-based family. She can potty train, sleep train toddlers, taught the children to read, arranged playdates, escorted the children to all of their appointments, cooked meals and did the children’s laundry.

We look forward to continuing to have her in our lives and want to ensure that she lands in a new place with a wonderful family. She would prefer to work in Manhattan with a newborn.

She sends pictures and videos throughout the day and checks in on the weekend to see how the kids are doing. She helped our family through a challenging year and was very accommodating in caring for our kids.

Irene came into our lives in the Summer of 2016, when we were returning to work after the birth of our youngest daughter, Mavis. Not ready for daycare, we felt like hosting a nanny in our home would be the right fit for our family and importantly, for our baby who was 5 months old at the time. Little did we know, Irene would become a part of our family, and in the process 3 years have sailed by! Irene has seen it all - fussiness during the newborn/infant period, navigating challenges associated with returning to work, including breastfeeding, portioning pumped milk, bottle feeding, separation anxiety, navigating changing nap schedules (or no schedule at all!), introducing solids, toddlerhood, play dates, potty training... you name it! The spirit of calm and generosity she brings to our home every day leaves the entire family feeling happy, secure, and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives. If you're on a tight schedule in the mornings - she's got you! - there's no one more punctual. If you're stumped on new foods to introduce - she's got you again! - her knack for cooking with kid friendly but adventurous flavors has my 3 year old celebrating when she hears the words plantains, swordfish, tomatoes, mangoes, peppers, ham, curry... If your little one has challenges with sharing or making friends or the usual toddler stuff that brings working parents stress (and sometimes guilt), have no fear. Irene goes out of her way to make friends, set play dates, and introduce my little one to new neighborhood experiences and enrichment. We're moving on to nursery school with a combination of excitement and melancholy, because while Mavis is ready for the next big step (thanks in so many ways to Irene!), we're going to miss seeing a member of our family every day.

Not ready for daycare, we felt like hosting a nanny in our home would be the right fit for our family and importantly, for our baby who was 5 months old at the time. Little did we know, Irene would become a part of our family, and in the process 3 years have sailed by! Irene has seen it all - fussiness during the newborn/infant period, navigating challenges associated with returning to work, including breastfeeding, portioning pumped milk, bottle feeding, separation anxiety, navigating changing nap schedules (or no schedule at all!), introducing solids, toddlerhood, play dates, potty training... you name it! The spirit of calm and generosity she brings to our home every day leaves the entire family feeling happy, secure, and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives. If you're on a tight schedule in the mornings - she's got you! - there's no one more punctual. If you're stumped on new foods to introduce - she's got you again! - her knack for cooking with kid friendly but adventurous flavors has my 3 year old celebrating when she hears the words plantains, swordfish, tomatoes, mangoes, peppers, ham, curry... If your little one has challenges with sharing or making friends or the usual toddler stuff that brings working parents stress (and sometimes guilt), have no fear. Irene goes out of her way to make friends, set play dates, and introduce my little one to new neighborhood experiences and enrichment. We're moving on to nursery school with a combination of excitement and melancholy, because while Mavis is ready for the next big step (thanks in so many ways to Irene!), we're going to miss seeing a member of our family every day.

Our AMAZING nanny will be available for full-time work starting September - free from the hours of 8:30am through 6:30pm Monday-Friday (flexible). Griselda has been a nanny for many years and has experience with infants and kids. She is truly amazing: loving, responsible, fun, and a wonderful addition to any family. She is incredibly active and never sits down! Always playing with our son, going outside to playgrounds, music classes, anything kid related, and while our son is napping, she would (deeply) clean the house, cook his meals. She truly loves our son (28 months) and takes care of him as if he was her own. We have the utmost trust in her... Being from France, we have no family here but she has become part of our family over the past few months. We know we can count on her 200%, ANYTIME. She is absolutely a no-brainer for any family looking for full-time childcare. She understands English and is a Spanish speaker. We are so happy our son speaks Spanish and will be soon a trilingual toddler. We were living in Brooklyn and just moved outside of the city so commute is definitively too long for her now as she lives in Brooklyn. Message me for Griselda’s contact info or any additional info you’d like from me! I’m more than happy to chat on the phone with anyone interested, too, to serve as a formal reference for Griselda (who my son lovingly calls \"Dada\").

It is with a very heavy heart that I am posting for my nanny who is looking for a new family as our needs have changed. She is looking for up to 50 hours a week, ideally 8 AM - 6 PM but is flexible. Rachel has been with our family for the last three years, and cared for my two children from the time they were an infant and a toddler (5 months and 2 years). She is a loving nanny with a calm demeanor with experience from infants to elementary school age. From the time I spoke with Rachel on the phone I knew that she would be a great fit for us. I didn't have to do any training with her at all - she came in and immediately stepped into her role with a seamless handoff. She has worked both in schools and with other famlies prior to ours. She is amazing at creating routine for the children and instilling structure and discipine as needed. Saftey is number one for her. She always makes sure the children are eating properly, maintaining good manners and being responsible by having them help out and pick up after themselves. She is amazing at connecting with other nannies for play dates and activities and keeping the house neat and clean. Rachel transitioned with us through multiple moves and life changes and we are very sad to see her move on. She will always be part of ours and any family would be lucky to have her.

DD looked after my now 13.5 month daughter from November of last year, when I went back to work 4 months PP, until last week. Going through the nanny search last year, I was really overwhelmed. I’d interview nannies who, one by one, seemed unenthusiastic and were more concerned to confirm that I’d pay for their metro card than talk about my daughter. But then came DD, who said, essentially, “Your daughter will be loved and looked after in my care. Don’t worry about a thing.” For an exhausted mom concerned about transitioning back to a demanding job, this is just what I needed to hear. And my daughter was loved and well looked after. DD worked long hours for us but seemed to have endless energy. Her kids are grown, so she has flexibility to stay late and stay over if you need her to. I’d come home every day to a clean apartment – DD is a very clean person and considers it her responsibility not only to clean up after my daughter and take care of her things (putting her toys away, laundry, vacuuming and cleaning the floor of her room, etc.), but keep common areas/floors not just tidy but clean, something I really appreciated when my daughter was crawling and putting everything in her mouth. Also, this is not anything we asked for, but she’d leave the kitchen spotless, take out the trash and recycling, randomly clean our microwave while my daughter napped, etc. DD has a large network of nanny friends in the 86th/Carnegie Hill area, which meant my daughter immediately had a group of friends to hang out with. For a while, it seemed like she was attending a first birthday every few weeks. But we live in Upper Carnegie Hill, so a little further away from her “home turf,” so DD also made new friends for my daughter in the neighborhood, closer to home/easier for playdates in our building, at a variety of playgrounds and at the 96th St library. My daughter has a long list of food allergies, and DD was really vigilant about ensuring my daughter did not come into contact with any food/liquid that did not come from our kitchen. DD would inform every nanny in the area of my daughter’s allergies and make sure they knew to keep their kids’ food away. She is CPR/first aid trained and knows how to use an EPI pen. (She also is fully vaccinated, gets a flu shot, regularly visits the doctor/dentist, etc.). DD is appreciative of ongoing feedback. She kept us well informed every day about my daughter’s activities, sending us lots of photos and videos, and genuinely delighted in the little details of my daughter’s day, which she shared with us in the evening. Although her time with us was relatively short, she spent several years with her prior two families, both of which had multiple kids, who gave her glowing recommendations. She is still especially close to the last family she worked with, and I know they will happily provide additional feedback (with only one kid, I can’t speak about the transition to two kids, etc. from personal experience – I just know that her previous family loved her). DD is a US citizen. DD (Delose) can be reached at (347) 995-0288. (She doesn’t check her email that often, definitely call or text). We ended up heading out of town for the end of summer, which accelerated our transition, so she is available ASAP. She is looking for full time, M-F in Manhattan or Brooklyn.

If you need a nanny, you should call Lucille! She has been with our family for 5 years - since my first born daughter was 3 months old. Lucille also helped us welcome the additions of our middle daughter (now 3) and our infant twins. Yes that is right — she excellently handled the care of FOUR under five! We have decided to move out of the city and therefore Lucille is now available (and our hearts miss her so much). Lucille provided excellent, nurturing care for our children. She ensured they ate well, stuck to sleep schedules, and had daily activities. Keeping them safe and healthy was her upmost concern. She has a very caring and nurturing nature about her but can be firm when she needs to be (but somehow she has this way of getting children to do what she needs them to do with this graceful encouragement — she certainly taught me a few tricks!). She is particularly great with infants/young toddlers. Beyond the care for your children, Lucille is an excellent partner for parents. She is pretty flexible about time (staying late when necessary) and she does children’s laundry every week. She also is excellent about sprucing up the children’s bedrooms and the family room. I literally looked forward to her coming each Monday so my house could be organized again. I cannot more highly recommend Lucille. She is a true joy! My children miss her so much. If you need a nanny, please consider Lucille...you’ll be so glad that you did!

She is principled and never missed a day of work in 9 years! She is fun and playful with the kids- she related well to all 4 of my kids at all different ages. She excelled at managing multiple kids at once , even my first two who are 14 months apart. I got multiple compliments from all sorts of people through her years with us about how great she was with the kids in various settings (preschool staff, neighbors who witnessed her in action when I was not home.) She would take my kids to fun places and arranged play dates. my kids loved playing games with her, coloring with her, etc. My 6 year old daughter still draws pictures for her and calls her!

Liza is like family to our little boy, whose face lights up each morning when Liza walks in the door. She’s incredibly warm, loving, and has such a sweet way with him. As a new mom, I've learned a lot from watching her with him and by seeing them together and his reaction to her gave me great comfort when I went back to work knowing how he was with someone who loves him and has a true natural way with children. She has been with us since he was 3 months old (now almost two years old), and the hardest part about moving out of the area has been knowing how much my son (and we), will miss her. She gives him her full attention (our son has a lot of energy, and she keeps up and then some), takes him to the park, to the library for story time, and is constantly reading and singing to him and looking for ways to engage him. She teaches him songs and dances and challenges him intellectually. We have been approached by multiple families in our building over our time here asking about our son and Liza because he's doing well and is very well adjusted and I think Liza is a huge part of who he is today. We have peace of mind when we go to work as we know our son is with someone who truly loves and cares for him, who we trust completely. We are sad that our move won’t allow us to keep her, but hope that our loss will be another’s gain. Available early September. Please don't hesitate to reach out me if you'd like to speak further.

Ini has been caring for my 2 year old boy (Nav) full time for a few months only, but it seems like she has been with us for ages! We adore her and she is incredible with our son. She has so much energy (and we needed someone to be able to keep up with Nav), and will make good use of the time he is napping by cleaning up our apartment and prepping his lunchtime meal. She will cook his breakfast/lunch (veggie heavy and kid friendly), make fresh juices, and pack up snacks while out and about. We really appreciated the fact that she planned out Nav's day, packed with playdates with other nannies in our area, music classes, etc. Ini was always punctual with time (that was important to us since my husband and I both require being out of the house by a certain time in the morning) and is very flexible if you need to stay late at work, etc. She is especially great for parents who are busy and can use that little extra help. Lastly, she has had 5 years of nanny experience. Overall, we highly recommend Ini and were very lucky to have found her!!

She clearly cares a lot about them and their development. She cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner for them, and provides a balanced meal for them consistently, with little direction from us. Wendy takes care of everything the boys need when she's with them: doing their laundry, light tidying, some errands, taking them to classes, etc. She makes really helpful observations, and has been a great partner. She is flexible about staying late on evenings when you need her to, and willing to stay late or work on weekends when we have asked - which hasn't been frequently. We are all really sad to see her go and want to her to find a warm and caring family.

This is one of the toughest posts, but we want to help our wonderful nanny, Neema, find a new family. Our kids (4 and 7) will be in school full time this fall, so we won’t need a full time nanny anymore. Neema has been with us since our son was only 8 months old. She is an amazing person, warm, caring and affectionate. She’s also fiercely protective of the kids and has become a member of our family. Neema is great with the kids. She organizes play dates, takes the kids to the park and classes. She generally cooks lunch and dinner for the kids, gives them a bath and does their laundry. She is also very flexible. If we need her to stay late, or come early, or come on the weekend, she is almost always able to accommodate. She is also a self-starter. She took it upon herself to tidy the kids’ room and do their laundry. We have a wonderful open and honest relationship with her. If the kids are sick, she will constantly update us, administer the medicine, and make their favorite food. She respected the boundaries we set regarding screen time. From the beginning we felt at ease with her and she has exceeded our expectations. Before we hired Neema, we had a bad experience with a nanny and consequently interviewed more than 20 nannies. So, we met a lot of nannies. And no one comes close to Neema.

Maria Lopez worked for our family from December 2018 through June 2019. She was originally brought on as a part-time nanny for our then three-month-old daughter, and we transitioned her to full-time after about six weeks. From day one, Maria was a calming and loving presence in our household, and our daughter took to her immediately. She clearly loves what she does, and our child's days were soon filled with enriching playtime, outings to parks and classes and a close eye on sleeping and eating schedules. She worked with our family to improve our daughter's napping and eating abilities and would give us a daily recap of schedule times to help assuage any anxieties we had. Maria was eager to help around the house when needed, and would help prepare food for the baby once we introduced solids. She was rarely (if ever) on her cellphone, except to take pictures of our child. When she arrived at the job, she was 100% committed and her level of attention was truly unwavering. She was consistently punctual and did not once miss a day of work. While I provided Maria with information on local classes, story times and other activities, Maria soon made friends with local nannies and arranged playdates with other kids in the neighborhood. We really couldn't have asked for a better experience with a caretaker, and we were very lucky to have Maria in our lives.

Monica has been part of our family for almost 4 years; she has been a calming, loving presence in our home since day 1. The saddest part of our move to Florida is parting ways with Monica. She has been watching our daughter since she was a newborn just home from the hospital. Now almost 4, they have built the most incredible bond together, it’s exactly what we wished for in a caregiver. We then had a son whom she has cared for since he was born. Her bond with both kids is deep, honest and true as if they are her own children. She walks in everyday with a smile on her face, and both kids greet her with the same smile and a huge hug in return. Monica is always punctual and very communicative, she clearly loves what she does. She believes in consistency and maintaining a set schedule to keep our kids in a routine. Monica has helped implement healthy eating habits and sleep schedules for both. She sets up play dates almost daily, and does a great job networking with other nannies and families in the area. Everyday we receive pictures and videos of the kids doing activities: educational and fun, adventuring to the park, library, and playgrounds. She constantly keeps them engaged and gives them great experience and exposure to the outside world. Monica also helps out with light cleaning, laundry and prepares the kids lunch (and dinner when asked). She has done many overnight stays including a week long stay while my husband and I travelled overseas. When Monica is with my children I feel beyond confident that they are in the best possible care, and comfortably put all my trust in her. She reads, sings, does arts and crafts, chases and laughs with them, plays games and beyond. Above all else, she’s been so loyal to our family and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Our family needs are changing & unfortunately (for us), we need to let Coleen move on to another family.

Coleen talks to my daughter all the time, reading books, interacting with her - trying to get her to hit all of those milestones! My daughter loves songs & Coleen is often singing to her, which calms her down and makes naptime a breeze! Aside from keeping my baby safe and happy, she is always on time & extremely reliable. She loves to keep active, so she would take my daughter out multiple times a day (rain or shine) to go do activities, make friends or go to classes. She takes care of all her needs & also keeps the apartment extra clean & tidy! Beyond that she is professional, and will always defer to you as being the parent. She has such a gift with babies -- she is ideally looking for a family who has a young baby and is returning to work. Any family would be lucky to have her!

I highly recommend Natasha for a nanny position. Natasha has worked for our family for just over two years—caring for our now two-and-a-half year old daughter since she was five months old. And she quickly became a member of our extended family (and she will continue to be a member of our extended family when we move to the suburbs this summer). There are three qualities that separate Natasha from other nannies: First, she is a professional. Natasha has more than twenty years of experience caring for children, and it shows. She helped us sleep train our daughter and get her on a regular nap schedule, transition to solid foods, handle stuffy noses and high fevers and stomach bugs, and whatever else our daughter threw at us. And while she comes with an unparalleled depth of experience, she always took our lead and did things our way. She is also always punctual and flexible when we need her to stay late or adjust her hours. Second, she is upbeat and outgoing. It was important to us that Natasha keep our daughter active and regularly socialize with other children her age. Natasha effortlessly found a small group of nannies with similarly-aged children, and, to this day, organizes play dates, park meet-ups, and other group outings with these children and their caretakers (who our daughter fondly calls her best friends). Because of Natasha, our daughter has become more social and outgoing. Finally, she genuinely loves our daughter. This is more than a job to her. The fact that Natasha, to this day, has relationships with her former employers and their children (some of whom are now grown) is a testament to the special bond she builds with the families for which she works. Leaving your new baby to return to work is never easy, but, for me, I was comfortable going back to work knowing that my daughter was in Natasha’s safe, loving hands. I couldn’t have transitioned back to work with anyone else, and we are so very sad to lose her when we move to the suburbs later this summer.

NANNY AVAILABLE: Experienced and fun nanny is available full-time for solo baby or nanny share! Hi families, We are posting about our previous nanny's availability to find her a wonderful new family or nanny share with a baby/babies, *full-time and on the books.* We have moved away from Brooklyn, and the other family in our nanny share planned from the onset to try daycare after a year, so Donna has become available. Donna was with our nanny share for over a year and cared for our two babies since they were ~5mo. She is experienced with nanny shares, caring for twins as well as single babies with ease, and balancing the needs and styles of two families with graciousness and flexibility. She’s done nanny shares before ours too. Donna is punctual and reliable and has always been on time — arriving early is her norm — and flexible to help with date nights, weekends, and early mornings. She's capable, fun, energetic and has no problem getting on the floor to play with the babies, easygoing, friendly and sociable. She makes friends for us wherever she goes. She has cared for our babies from the early days of nap training, to starting solids, and now to the wilder days of toddlers zipping around the house, and she's done it all with a great attitude. The babies have a lot of fun with her. Donna has been instrumental in keeping the babies on a schedule as they developed and their needs evolved. She enjoys bringing them out for playground time, classes, visits to the library or our building lounge to socialize with other children. She proactively helped guide them (and us!) through their milestones, learning words and habits, and she has kept us updated on their new developments and sends photos/videos of their day which we appreciate. Most of all, Donna loves our babies and we’ve had the assurance that they are in capable and caring hands. We hope her next family is a good match for her and we would be happy to answer your questions. Note: Donna is looking to work with infants (she was also a baby nurse), as she’s looking for a family she can grow with from babyhood to the toddler years. She’s available to start as soon as the right opportunity comes along and is looking to be located in the Brooklyn Heights / Downtown Brooklyn / Cobble Hill / Dumbo / Lower Manhattan areas but is open to surrounding neighborhoods too. She’s looking for full-time positions only and works *on* the books. For a nanny share, minimal stairs would be preferred given logistics of overseeing the safety of two babies and a double stroller become difficult in a walk-up building. Thanks for reading — we hope the right match will get connected with Donna!

Ana stepped in when I was in desperate need of a caregiver for my two children (ages 3 and 1) with short notice, due to a job change. She came with glowing references and was immediately ready to work. She was committed to following our family's routines and was constantly asking questions so she could learn. I think she could be a great fit for a family that has an established routine and wants to give their children lots of structure and consistency. Ana was also able to deal with some of my son's special medical needs with patience and care. Though the job was short-time, I was impressed with her eagerness, warmth, and competence. I would not hesitate to recommend Ana and am confident anyone that hires her would be lucky to have her.

We want to help Janet find the perfect family after almost five years as a crucial part of our own family caring for our daughter since she was six months old. Now that we are splitting time between NYC and Connecticut, Janet is seeking a full time position, preferably in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Janet is professional while at the same time providing lots of love, affection and support to our daughter. She is an experienced caregiver with past experience with twins (including her own twin sons who are now fully grown). Over the years, I have received unsolicited feedback from other parents and teachers about Janet’s attentiveness, care and love for our daughter. She takes her responsibilities as a caregiver seriously. She is always prepared and thinking ahead and is great at setting up play dates - she makes a special effort to schedule play dates with children that will bring out the best in our daughter and help her learn new things. Her next family will be lucky to work with her.

I want to recommend my former nanny Samarah to any parent here looking for a great person to watch over your Little. Samarah demonstrated tremendous responsibility in taking care of our 3.5 year son. She always went above and beyond her scope of work. Never complained and always had a soft and chill attitude. She was kind, trustworthy, considerate and wonderful with our son. She always had some fun activity to do with him. For example, when it was my birthday she took my son to buy balloons to surprise me when I came home from work. She took the time to draw a card with him that was so lovely and touching. It made him feel so proud to do something so great for mommy. It's those little things that made me feel good about having her with my son. It was super clear to us that working as a nanny is something Samarah takes very seriously and is fully engaged. She loves working with children, and I saw this manifest in her communication skills and creative ideas for activities! She kept our very active 3.5 year old son creatively and physically occupied as well as adhering to the boundaries my husband and I had put into place. She's no longer with us because my son is going into pre-k and she needed a full time schedule (30-40hr week). She's only been gone from our place a few weeks and we miss her dearly! I wish I had the hours to give her! It was a joy having Samarah in our home. I know for a fact my son is better for having her in his life. She was awesome. Your family is in great and loving hands!

Keita is the nanny you want to snatch up! It was serendipitous the day we found our nanny. Our doorman told me, "you have to grab Keita. She is the best and her family is moving to Philly. She will be needing a new job soon". It was so easy and I never looked back. Keita was with us for about 6 years, starting 3 months after my older son was born. As new parents, she was perfect for us. Her confidence and delicacy with which she took care of our newborn was reassuring and mind-blowing to us. She really showed us the way. She home made all his first foods - all the purées. She is a great cook! Like any parent, I hated going back to work and leaving my child at that age. She sent me pictures every day of my smiling, happy boy. The bonus with Keita - she speaks French. We asked her to only speak to our kids in French so they would get that added benefit. She loves the idea that she can help teach a native English speaking child French. I went out and got French books and it was great having that added influence. I loved to hear my little one say "sil vous plait"! One of my biggest nanny pet peeves- I HATE when I see nannies walking their child with headphones on- or gabbing on the phone. You would never see Keita doing this. She doesn't watch tv - and so the tv was never on in our home while she was taking care of our 2 kids. She engaged all the time and her #1 priority is focusing on our kids and making sure they are happy. She took the kids wherever they needed to go. She took them to their classes, the playground, she met other nannies and formed relationships and made great friends for my kids. She always asked me if I was OK with all of this and I was because I knew she was very discerning. She has so much love and care in her heart; you can rest assured your children will be loved and cared for as close to a parent's love as possible. When the kids were playing off by themselves or napping she looked for ways to be helpful to the family. She really went above and beyond. She has an incredible work ethic. My kids took karate classes and I received the most amazing email from the receptionist there- out of no where - at the time. I have to share an excerpt from it it to exemplify what is so special about her: "I am taking a chance to offer some unsolicited opinion. I do not do this often. In fact, this is the second time. So here goes...I have had a few occasions to observe [S] and [J's] child care provider (babysitter) thus far. I don't recall her name. I have to say she is so good with your children. Her smile of pride and approval for their accomplishments here is beautiful...Trust me, I see nannies that are not attentive to their children. Good choice in hiring her". This was not the first time I had been told how wonderful Keita was by random people over the years. She is extremely trustworthy. I can say without a doubt she would never lie- never do anything that wasn't honest. She has very high moral standards. When we hired her to work with us on the Upper West Side we told her we were planning a move to Brooklyn within the year. She told us "as hard as it is to find a good nanny, it's hard to find a good family. I will go with you". She traveled from the Bronx to Brooklyn, getting to us by 8am, every week for over 4 years. Keita had had 2 prior nanny experiences and those references were also excellent. She's been doing this job now for nearly 25 years. While we now have a part time nanny we continue to use Keita as a night time babysitter on weekends when we can. Win-win. Our kids are SO excited to be with her. She is like a second mom to them. And she continues to be as awesome as she was when she worked for us full-time. Not long ago we came home and my husband and my bed was beautifully made (not the shoddy job I do!). We had dumped our clean laundry on our bed and while we were out she made our bed! She is incredible.
