Find a Brooklyn Nanny

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Ana, who worked as a nanny in our home for three years.
Ana was far more than a caregiver—she became a deeply trusted, joyful, and steady presence in our family’s daily life.
From the very beginning, Ana brought a rare combination of warmth, intuition, and professionalism. She has a natural
gift with children-meeting them with patience, genuine affection, and a calm confidence
that immediately puts them at ease and we always felt complete peace of mind.
Ana is exceptionally reliable, thoughtful, and proactive. She consistently anticipated our needs,
maintained structure and routines with ease, and communicated clearly about schedules, milestones, her knowledge about everything a baby and toddler needs about motor skills, speech, sensory stimulation my baby always was so happy + a great night sleeper. I never was worry about anything. Any family will be lucky to have her.
I will be glad to talk to you more about her, but please reach her first after could you please text to me then set time to talk;
Ana’s phone # 9176082677

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

✨ Our Amazing Nanny Is Looking for Her Next Family ❤️ ✨

As we’re moving full-time to Long Island and our son starts school later this September, our wonderful nanny will be looking for a new full-time position, ideally starting early October.

She has been with us since our son was just 3 months old, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. We don’t have family nearby, and she became such an important part of our family. As a first-time mom, she taught me so much and has been one of my biggest supports over the last two years.

She is one of those unicorn nannies everyone hopes to find. She’s incredibly loving, reliable, proactive, and truly invested in helping children learn and grow. She is always engaging them through play, encouraging independence, reading, singing, planning fun activities, and making every day a learning opportunity.

She is also fully bilingual in English and Spanish, which was incredibly important to us. I’m a native Spanish speaker, and thanks to her consistency and encouragement, our son speaks both languages.

This transition is incredibly bittersweet because she has truly become part of our family. I would absolutely love for her to find another wonderful family who will appreciate her as much as we have.

If you’re looking for someone truly special, please send me a message. I’d be happy to answer any questions and share more about our experience.

I am recommending our prior Nanny who we’ve love to help find a family to grow with. Brenda was our nanny for nearly two years, beginning when our daughter was 6 months old. She was reliable, flexible, and a great support to our family during a busy time while my husband and I were both in residency. She took our daughter to classes, planned activities, and built friendships with other nannies and children in the neighborhood—many of whom remain friends today. She was attentive to our daughter’s routines and helped her navigate the many transitions from infancy to toddlerhood. Brenda is a passionate and caring person who becomes deeply invested in the families she works with. She is looking for a family with one child, ideally an infant, that she can grow with over the years, and I know she would bring dedication and support to the right family.

It is with tremendous gratitude and without any hesitation that I write this letter to recommend Valda as a nanny and caregiver. Valda worked with our family for two and a half years in New York City, and she was, quite simply, one of the best things that ever happened to our children.
Valda joined our family when our daughter, Leila, was just three months old, and the timing could not have been more critical. Leila had recently undergone open heart surgery, and our family was coming home after a full month in the ICU. We were exhausted, frightened, and still learning how to care for a medically fragile infant. From her very first day with us, Valda treated Leila with the tenderness and vigilance of her own child. Her calm, loving presence gave us something we desperately needed at that moment: the ability to trust that our daughter was safe. I never once worried about Leila when she was in Valda’s care.
As Leila grew, she faced some developmental delays, and Valda navigated this with remarkable patience, intuition, and love. She always seemed to know exactly what Leila needed, often before Leila could tell her, and she faithfully accompanied her to therapy appointments across the city, week after week. Valda’s consistency and warmth made a real difference in Leila’s progress and confidence. To this day, Valda is Leila’s favorite person in the world; she lights up at the mere sound of her voice.
When we welcomed our son four months ago, Valda seamlessly extended that same devotion to him, caring for both children with equal patience and affection, and helping our family adjust to life with a newborn and a toddler at once.
Beyond her exceptional caregiving, Valda brought an incredible work ethic and sense of responsibility to everything she did. She kept our home tidy without ever being asked, handled the children’s laundry and folding, kept their rooms organized, and changed their sheets twice a week. She was also generous enough to help with our own laundry whenever we needed it. She prepared our daughter’s meals with great care and always seemed to know exactly what she wanted. She was wonderful with our dog as well, happily taking him out for walks whenever our schedules got too hectic.
Valda’s flexibility and dependability were invaluable to us. She was consistently available on short notice and never hesitated to stay late when we needed her. As two full-time working parents, with my husband and I both maintaining demanding careers, I honestly do not know how I would have finished my dermatology residency without her. She gave us the peace of mind to focus on our work, knowing our children were in the most loving hands.
Valda brings a wealth of experience to her work, having previously cared for a set of twins and having worked as a night nurse. She is intelligent, independent, and endlessly resourceful. Whatever the challenge, she always found a solution, calmly and confidently.
I recommend Valda wholeheartedly and without reservation. Any family fortunate enough to have her will gain not just an exceptional caregiver, but someone who will love their children as her own. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss Valda’s work with our family further.

We are moving out of the city and cannot recommend highly enough our nanny, Jenny. She has been with us for a year and came to us when my daughter was 2.5 years old. She was with her prior family for 14 years before joining us.

Jenny stepped in and immediately gained the trust of our daughter who was navigating separation anxiety and difficulty with routine changes. She helped us through potty training and the start of pre-school, and then a few months later, when my son was born, she helped our whole family adjust to a new dynamic. Since then, Jenny has taken care of both of my children, handling various tasks including school pickup/drop-off, organizing playdates, meal prep, following a feeding/nap schedule for my son, and other related responsibilities.

Jenny demonstrates patience, dedication and remarkable reliability. In the year she worked for our family, Jenny took no sick days. She displays a love for children and creates nurturing and safe environments for their development. She has excellent judgment, communicates clearly and handles situations professionally. Beyond childcare, meal prep, and household management, she brings warmth, creativity, and natural ability to connect with all ages. She also became beloved by our daughter’s pre-school staff.

Jenny is looking for a full time position ideally in Brooklyn or Manhattan. She is available beginning the first week of August.

I am pleased to provide recommendation for Erika, who has worked as our nanny.
Erika joined our family when our daughter was 2.5 years old and our son was just 4 months old. Caring for children at such different developmental stages requires patience, flexibility, and skill, and Erika navigated those ages seamlessly. Throughout her time with us, she proved herself to be attentive, dependable, and deeply committed to our children’s well-being. Most importantly, I trusted Erika completely with our children. As a parent, there is no higher endorsement than knowing your children are safe, loved, and well cared for in someone’s hands. Erika consistently demonstrated sound judgment, responsibility, and genuine care for both of our kids.
Reason for leaving, my kids are in the school, Erika needs full time.
Please reach out to Erika first at (631) 455-2242 to get to know her. If you match please feel free to contact me, I’d be happy to talk with you. She has verified references.

We are so excited to recommend our beloved nanny, Patricia, who has been with our family for nine years and is available for a new family after the first week of September.

Patricia joined us in 2017, caring for our son from the time he was one, and then for our twin daughters from the day they were born — so she’s wonderful with everything from infants to school-age children, including multiples.

Her greatest strength is early childhood education: every day she runs a structured learning session with the kids, teaching reading, writing, early math, and more, and she makes sure they get outside daily for walks, the park, and the library. She also prepares the children’s meals, keeps their rooms and laundry in order, and communicates openly and warmly every single day.

The clearest sign of our trust: this past year, my wife and I traveled abroad for a full week and left all three children in Patricia’s sole care — the first time we’d ever left them with anyone outside our immediate family. Everything went perfectly, and the kids were disappointed when we came home.

Our only reason for the change is that our daughters are starting school and no longer need full-time care. Patricia is seeking a full-time, live-out position. She lives in Far Rockaway and commutes by public transit, so she’s well-suited to families in Queens, the Five Towns, transit-accessible Nassau, or NYC. We would hire her again without hesitation and are glad to speak with any interested family as a personal reference.

We are heartbroken to be writing this because we truly never wanted to lose Sattie. She has been with our family for almost two years, but with our son starting preschool in September, our childcare needs are changing, and we are sadly no longer able to offer her a full-time position.

Sattie has become part of our family, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their children. Our son absolutely adores her, and the feeling is mutual. She is endlessly patient, kind, energetic, and genuinely loves being with children.

She goes above and beyond every single day. Whether she’s running around playing soccer,  taking him to the playground or classes, reading books, or coming up with creative games, she is always fully engaged. She has a wonderful way of making learning fun and naturally incorporates educational activities into everyday play. Thanks to her, our son has learned so much while having the best time, including a plethora of Spanish words as she is fluent in both English and Spanish.

Beyond how wonderful she is with children, Sattie is dependable, trustworthy, communicative, and has cared for our son with so much love. Knowing he was with her gave us complete peace of mind every day.

We are devastated to be saying goodbye and would keep her forever if our circumstances allowed. We are happy to provide an enthusiastic reference and answer any questions. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to welcome Sattie into their home.

I’m happy to provide a reference for our nanny, who was with our family for the past eight months. During her time with us, she was consistently reliable, always arriving on time and maintaining a dependable schedule, which we truly appreciated.

As a first-time mom returning to work, it was very important for me to feel comfortable leaving my son in someone else’s care. She helped make that transition easier, and I always felt that my son was safe and well cared for while I was away.

She was also very consistent with household support, including keeping up with our laundry and helping with day-to-day tasks around the home. She always cleaned up after our son and kept his spaces organized, which made a big difference in our daily routine.

In addition, she regularly attended classes and activities both within our building and in the community. Through this, she helped our son socialize and build connections, creating a small circle of familiar friends for him, which we really valued.

Over time, she became a steady and familiar presence in our home and a part of our family’s routine. She was responsible, trustworthy, and maintained a consistent level of care throughout her employment.

We’re grateful for the support she provided our family and would recommend her to another family seeking a reliable and dependable caregiver.

Dolly has been with us for five years, since our eldest was four months old. In that time, she has helped with everything with the children—from our daughters learning to speak, crawl, walk, learn letters, learn numbers, learn how to play nicely with other children, potty training—the list goes on and on.

Dolly is patient and kind with our children. She is never late. She is never on her phone (except to take pictures to send to us or to arrange playdates). She is willing to come in early or stay late to help with our work schedules and work travel and even our infrequent date nights. She prepares meals for the children, does their laundry, helps organize clothes, toys, and helps keep the kitchen and apartment tidy. She takes the kids on adventures both big and small: the zoo, the natural history museum, parks, playgrounds, Roosevelt island… the list goes on.

She has smoothly covered pickup for our older child at her school thirty blocks from our apartment all while taking care of our young toddler. She brings the children to classes, other activities, pediatrician and doctor’s appointments – she has even picked up prescriptions for our younger daughter in a pinch. Moreover, she constantly helps to arrange playdates and make friendships with other children that have translated to meaningful relationships for our entire family.
Over the last year she has been asked by our younger daughter’s teacher to help chaperone field trips for their two’s program. She is a wonder woman.

If we could, we would keep her forever, but she loves babies and young children and would like to find a new family to work with as our kids are now getting older and in school much of the day. She is specifically looking for a family with a baby to grow with.

We cannot recommend Dolly highly enough. Any family would be lucky to have her.

She is looking for a full-time, on the books role starting in September. For the right fit we will figure out something else to allow her to start earlier if needed.

Our nanny, Sabrina, joined our family when I returned to work after maternity leave with our first child. After interviewing many potential nannies, Sabrina not only had the most experience, but she was also the easiest to talk to. By the end of our very first phone call, I already felt she was someone I could trust with my 4-month-old daughter.

My daughter is now nearly two years old, and Sabrina has been with us every step of the way. We are only parting ways because our family is moving out of the area, and we’ve decided to enroll our daughter in daycare as she’s becoming increasingly social and ready to thrive in a classroom environment.

Sabrina is incredibly attentive, patient, and nurturing. She is always tuned in to my daughter’s needs, communicates proactively about anything that comes up, and consistently goes above and beyond. She has cared for our daughter both while I worked from home and while my husband and I were in the office, giving us complete peace of mind no matter where we were.

Beyond providing exceptional childcare, Sabrina prepares meals for our family, helps with light housekeeping and laundry, and is always willing to lend a hand wherever it’s needed. She is dependable, hardworking, and genuinely cares about the families she works with.

There is no one I would trust more to care for my child. Sabrina has become such an important part of our family, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for us over the past two years. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation.

Aylin is a very affectionate, respectful, responsible, and empathetic nanny or babysitter. She has experience with newborns and young children. She took charge of the daily routine for my 4 month old baby and my young daughter. She is a great help in my children’s development and gives me great peace of mind. I recommend her with complete confidence.

We are extremely sad to part ways with our wonderful nanny of almost two years, Mayda, as our son will be starting school in the fall so our childcare needs have changed.

Mayda was with us from when our son was 4 months old until he turned two. She is extremely loving and caring and she developed a special bond with our son very quickly. She managed his schedule, his meals (including transition to solids), took him to classes and activities, helped him reach developmental milestones and more. She also taught him Spanish and many people comment on his proficiency in the language at such a young age. She was also attentive and nurturing, creating a warm environment for our son to learn, play and grow every day.

Mayda is trustworthy, kind and thoughtful and we feel lucky to have had her work with our family. She has over a decade of experience as a nanny and her references are all terrific. Please reach out with any questions or if you’d like to discuss further.

Sharon is an experienced, warm, and highly dependable caregiver currently working with an 8-month-old infant in New York City. In her time with our family, she has proven herself to be engaging and communicative — always keeping us informed and involved — while bringing genuine enthusiasm for our son’s growth and development.

Sharon approaches infant care with both attentiveness and intention. She understands that the early months are a critical window for development, and she actively engages with our son in ways that support his physical and cognitive milestones. She has become a true part of our family, and we trust her completely to look out for our son’s wellbeing in every situation.

Families looking for a caregiver who treats the role as more than a job — someone who shows up reliably, communicates openly, and genuinely invests in a child’s wellbeing — will find exactly that in Sharon.

She is available Mondays and Tuesdays and would be a wonderful addition to any family. Please reach out with any questions!

During her time with our family, Marion was responsible for our daughter’s daily routines, from the essentials like diaper changes, getting dressed, tidying up, feedings, and bathing to the enriching time spent singing songs, playing games, reading books, and providing emotional comfort, Marion did it all. She was consistently punctual and reliable as well as flexible when our schedules deviated from the usual routine.

On a daily basis, Marion brought a wonderful balance of structure and adventure to our daughter’s life. She ensured every day was active and engaging, whether they were exploring the local library, running around the playground, or meeting new toddler friends in the neighborhood. What we appreciated most was her natural initiative; she never needed a “to-do” list. Marion simply took it upon herself to get out into the community, constantly finding creative ways to help our daughter learn, socialize, and explore the world around her.

I am deeply grateful for the knowledge and caring Marion displayed. As a first time parent, I often looked to her for guidance and was met with a calming presence and caring demeanor. Marion displayed a genuine bond with our daughter, which transcends the daily checklist of duties or sticking to the nap schedule. It created a feeling of connection and love in our home that is cherished.

Nicole, our amazing nanny of 5+ years, is available to start with a new family in Aug/Sept! Perfect fit for families in Brooklyn with newborn/baby age looking for a quiet, calm, and safety-oriented caregiver in the home.

Nicole has worked with our family for the past five years and has more than 30 years of experience as a full-time nanny in Brooklyn. She has been with us since the birth of our first child (now 5) and helped care for our second (now 3) as well. With both of our kids starting school full-time this fall, our childcare needs are changing. So, with both sadness and enormous gratitude, we are helping her find a wonderful new family.

A few highlights of Nicole’s qualifications:

She is health- and safety-conscious. Her consistent, conscientious approach gave us real peace of mind that our children were safe, very well cared for, and deeply loved. We especially appreciated her experience in establishing and maintaining regular routines and nap schedules, from our children’s first months. I once found her checking the eye “buttons” on a stuffy to ensure they were fully secure — she is careful to watch for dangers and get ahead of them!

She has helped us navigate so many developmental stages, from nap transitions to potty training to after-school homework. She is especially gifted at meeting each child where they are — equally a calm, soothing presence for an infant and an active, supportive homework buddy for our kindergartner. She and our five-year-old do spelling and math homework every day together, and she cheers her on for weekly spelling tests! (p.s. PS11 is intense! 🙂

She is adaptable and willing to help where needed. Nicole’s responsibilities have included getting our children to and from school, helping them get dressed, preparing healthy snacks and lunches, taking them to activities, and encouraging them to make friends in the neighborhood. Regular music classes and library outings were favorites.

In addition to being a wonderful caregiver, Nicole is an incredibly professional and trustworthy employee. She is a clear communicator and often used WhatsApp to provide updates and ask questions. She is excellent at holding the right boundaries with children — always loving, kind, and supportive, but also firm, clear, and never intrusive. As an example, we both often work from home, and she was a pleasure to share our space with. She is steadfast and tends to be more on reserved / introverted side.

Finally, Nicole is extremely punctual and reliable. We could always count on her to be on time and dependable.

She is especially familiar with the playgrounds, local activities, and community in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene but is open to neighborhoods around Brooklyn.

Nicole has been an incredible part of our children’s lives. She has created a calm, safe, and loving environment where they could explore, be creative, practice their independence, and share their feelings. We are deeply grateful to Nicole for helping us nurture our children, keep them safe, and give them such a confident start in life.

We simply cannot recommend her more highly. She also has previous families who would be happy to provide excellent references upon request.

We’ve trusted Lorena since January 2025, when our youngest son (Flo) was just 4 months old and our older son was 3.5. She has been a steady, loving presence through so many stages, from bottles and naps to preschool prep, and we are endlessly grateful for the care she has given both boys.

Lorena has become a true member of our family. She cares for Flo full-time and has flexed into care for both children whenever we needed extra help due to illness or school breaks. We have said that Lorena is our very own Mary Poppins! She brings genuine warmth and curiosity to every day, and the boys light up when she walks in.

Lorena has made Flo something of a local celebrity. Their Starbucks outings are a beloved ritual, and the two of them are regularly out exploring, grabbing lunch, and visiting parks near and far. When she’s caring for both boys, she takes them on wonderful adventures around the city, from the Central Park Zoo to neighborhood parks and libraries. She’s adept at navigating the subway with kids!

She has a background in preschool education, speaks English and Spanish fluently, and has taught Flo Spanish from infancy. He is entering a Spanish immersion preschool fluent, even though neither of his parents speak the language.

When we learned that Flo has a seizure disorder, Lorena judiciously learned the specifics of how to care for him and prepare for difficult medical situations. We trust her wholeheartedly and have given her medical authorization to make decisions for both children in emergency situations.

Lorena is the one caregiver who brings the excitement that mitigates any stress of parents stepping out for work or a date. Our oldest has had several caregivers, and Lorena stands apart.

Sabina has truly become a part of our family since she started with us when our oldest was just five months old. What makes her so special is her pure, natural instinct with children; she brings immense patience, warmth, and genuine joy to the daily chaos of raising two active little boys. She handles the logistics of managing multiple kids at once with total grace and is incredibly proactive. Instead of just staying in the house, Sabina completely immersed our kids in the community, tracking down local playgroups and building a wonderful network of neighborhood friends so they were always learning and socializing. To show just how much she meant to everyone, Sabina organized a beautiful goodbye party for our boys, and it was clear from the tears that the local nannies and kids were just as heartbroken to say goodbye to her as they were to our sons. She is deeply reliable, trustworthy, and gave us total peace of mind every single day. We love her dearly and cannot recommend her highly enough for a family looking for a wonderful, long-term nanny.

Looking to help our nanny Tricia find a new family starting in August after we move out of state.

Tricia has been with us for the past two years looking after our daughters now 5 and 2yrs old. She is a ray of sunshine and constant source of positivity for our kids. She quickly formed a bond with our kids and became friends with other nannies in the neighborhood, leading us to meet other families nearby.

She is extremely reliable and always on time in the mornings. Tricia is willing to travel within Brooklyn and Manhattan – and bonus, has experience with twins!
