Padmini has been working for my family for 15 years and has helped to raise my four children. She has truly become a part of our family and it is with great sadness that we see her move on. She will be a hardworking and trusted addition to your family. Throughout the time that Padmini worked for me she was a dedicated and dependable individual. Padmini started working with our family when my oldest daughter was just 3 months old and she is now a sophomore in high school. Padmini also helped to raise my other three children from birth. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to be flexible, yet maintain discipline with children of all ages. Padmini has been responsible for all aspects of our children’s care and we work together to plan meals which she will prepare for the children. She also handled all of the children’s laundry and kept their rooms in order. She has great communication skills and coordinates playdates and can manage a very complex schedule of activities for multiple children very well. She has been an amazing caregiver for both infants and older children and truly understands how to keep children engaged in play both indoors and outside rather than having them use electronics. I have received so much great feedback from other parents about how attentive and caring Padmini is with my children and I know that she would a welcome addition to your family.

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

Dianna is the most caring and loving person and a true member of our family. She has a tremendous amount of experience as a baby nurse and nanny. She was a live-in baby nurse for my son when he was born, caring for him overnight and literally teaching me all that there is to know about caring for a baby. Ten years later, she is still with us, having helped me to raise my son, who is now in the 5th grade and caring for my four year old daughter as well. She takes a lot of pride in the children's cleanliness, meal times, safety and has an active social life. Both of my children tell Dianna that they love her every single day and that love is mutual. When we're not together, we facetime. The number one thing that I can say about Dianna is that she is always smiling. That kind of energy permeates through the household. As an employee, she is loyal, trustworthy and reliable. I would love to place Dianna with a new loving family.

Parent Reference

Vicky is a whole family caregiver and has many years of experience with children and families. We had the pleasure of working with her at a critical time, when I started a new job and at a time when my son needed her most, post-pandemic. After months of isolation, my son was withdrawn, anxious and delayed in areas like speech and motor skills. Vicky’s calm, patient, reliable, loving and attentive presence transformed his reality and our home. She implemented a steady routine, built his trust, attentively played with him, explored art, song and dance, cooked for him, lovingly communicated with him, traveled to kid-friendly parks, and set up playdates. Socially and emotionally, my son is a different person. He asks for Vicky daily and we both consider her family. As a first- time single mom, Vicky has also been a beacon of light to me. While I worked from home, with a new and demanding job, Vicky cooked for me in addition to my son and offered advice to ensure I also felt supported throughout the transition. Vicky is always on time, pleasant and positive when she arrives, and she immediately takes over. She is always very organized, prepares healthy food, organizes play dates and gathers my son’s clothes, snacks and toys to keep him entertained, cared for and stimulated during the day (screen-free). Vicky has helped us with laundry, organizing toys, light cleaning and cooking. I love to overhear her chatting and playing with my son. Her kind and fun demeanor results in laughter and thoughtful conversations. She also made my son’s birthday extra special this year. She helped to create one of the most memorable experiences of his 3 years of life! Spanish Is Vicky’s first language and she's open to working with a family where one or both parents speak Spanish as well as parents who speak English-only. Her English is fine for work. If needed, her daughter, who is also an outstanding person, can help with more complicated discussions. Vicky is also vaccinated and open to boosters. When I had to work late (sometimes last minute), Vicky was always flexible with timing. She was my saving grace in potty-training and she is currently playing a crucial role in my son’s transition into preschool. If my son was not in school full-time, we would work with Vicky forever. She works with us part-time now, but I’d like to help her find full-time work with a great family. She has been indispensable to us, and will be to future families. I’m happy to recommend Vicky and answer any questions.

She is one of the best nannies I know. She has more than 17 years of experience. When she got home, she treated my baby with a lot of love and I felt that my baby was in good hands from day one. Unfortunately we have to move out of the city and she cannot come with us. She has taught my son very good Spanish and is very patient with him in all his activities, she takes him to the park, libraries, games and private classes that he has during the day, she also prepares food for him with great affection and my son loves it. I feel very lucky that I found her because she has helped me a lot with my first child, she has also traveled with me locally, she always tries to be available when I need her to work overtime or on weekends that I have needed her. Apart from the letters of recommendation that she has that are excellent, when we meet her we realized that she is a great person. I think anyone who hires her will be very happy to have her in her family.

Parent Reference

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

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

Our daughter is starting daycare and we’re hoping to find a new family for our beloved nanny, Hazel. Hazel is energetic, flexible, reliable (she's never once been late!), organized, very trustworthy, and loves being out in all weather. Hazel keeps our daughter busy during the day with songs, music, reading, and lots of outdoor activities. Our daughter loves the park and Hazel makes sure to go early in the morning so they have the park to themselves to be safe. She constantly sends me pictures and updates while they’re out which I love and makes me feel so included in our daughter’s day. Hazel has good ideas when I ask for input and will also follow directions loyally if you have a specific way you want things done. We’ve tried to keep our daughter on a consistent schedule and Hazel does a great job of following our wishes which makes the evenings and weekends so much easier for us. Hazel goes above and beyond around our home to help my husband and I keep our house organized. She does the family’s laundry (including ours!), loads and unloads the dishwasher, and keeps all the bottles and pumping parts clean. I can’t express how amazing it has been to have help with my pump parts! My husband and I are both working from home and Hazel is very conscientious of our work schedule when we’re on calls or in meetings. She also goes above and beyond to encourage us to take time for just the two of us and helped us have our first date night in many months! Hazel takes Covid safety very seriously. She’s vaccinated and always wears a mask while she’s in public. Hazel still avoids large groups in an effort to keep herself healthy and protect our daughter. Overall Hazel treats her daughter as her own and her upmost concern is our daughter’s safety.

Parent Reference

I’m posting on behalf of our former nanny, Veronica, who is fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and is seeking a position to begin this fall. Veronica often described us as a team working together to raise our children into amazing, good humans. If this was true (and it was), she was 100 percent our MVP. I had no way of understanding when we hired her the ways in which she would transform our home for the better. She is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I have had the benefit of knowing. When caring for our two children, we could really feel her love and concern for them, and she was fantastic with them at every stage from infancy through early elementary school. Veronica joined us as I exited my second maternity leave, when our older child was two years old and our younger child was just three and half months old. As most working moms know, it is no easy task to return to work. With that said, there is nothing in the world worth more than the immense peace of mind provided by knowing that your children are in excellent hands in your absence, and it is even better knowing that they are with someone inserting fun, learning, and affection into their days. You will not find a more intelligent, poised, mature, reliable, fun, observant, hard-working, and loving nanny out there. She is loaded with wisdom on all things child rearing (and, honestly, in general), and I trusted her and her judgment totally and completely when she was with our family. She also knew exactly what I needed and longed for as a working mom, sending me plenty of photos/videos and even keeping a leather-bound book of sweet and funny anecdotes from their days (in addition to the typical log of eating/sleeping/diaper changes). She connected not only our children—but us as parents—to other families in the area with whom I believe we will be lifelong family friends. I was astounded at how quickly she transcended the nanny cliques that can exist here and became instantly friendly with nannies across all cultures and age groups. In addition to taking our children on consistent play dates with other children of like ages, she constantly came up with fun activities to take them to and to engage them in. She was a complete expert in all the playgrounds and activities for babies/children across the city. She was also great at guiding our children through developmental milestones. It was also not uncommon for us to return after work to our apartment, with it in an impossibly clean state and her playing with one of the boys on the floor. At times we relied on her to take the children to the pediatrician and to countless other appointments across the city. As a bonus, she is an excellent cook, who knows how to make delicious yet healthy meals for your kids that they will actually eat. She has First Aid and infant CPR training (I updated my certification alongside her), and she has substantial experience as a nanny. She was with the family previous to us for 9 years (in Tribeca and Murray Hill), and the mother in that family spoke only glowingly of her when we talked. As mentioned, she is fully vaccinated and has taken the COVID-19 protocols very seriously. She would prefer to find a family with an infant and to work Monday through Friday as early as you need but until 6/6:30 p.m. (barring special circumstances). We are excited for the next family who gets to benefit from the great enthusiasm and warmth that she puts into looking after the children under her care. She is a truly special person whom you won’t regret bringing into your life if you hire her, and I’m happy to speak in further detail about her qualifications and wonderful attributes should you desire.

Jennifer was such a wonderful addition to our family. She has over 20 years experience working in New York as a full-time care giver/nanny. As a first-time, anxious new Mom, I was nervous about each milestone and her calm, professional demeanor was so valuable in navigating parenthood. She straddles the line between giving advice, but only implementing what you as the parent are comfortable with. My daughter also has severe food allergies, so trusting someone to keep her safe was extremely important to us. Jennifer has experience working with many babies/children that have had various health concerns so she was quite comfortable and understood how to keep our daughter away from foods that could harm her. She is also very adamant about your child reaching their milestones. She knows what cues to look for to see when they are ready. For example, when she noticed our daughter was developing her 'pincer grab' she suggested we try foods that would help develop this skill, and now my daughter is a great eater and feeds herself! I know she will be a warm, caring support in another family, just as she was in our family.

Dolma Tshering has been the nanny for our family since January 2016 – 5+ years! She has become a trusted member of our household, and it will be a big loss for us when she moves on. She kept our entire family sane during the roughest parts of the baby and toddler years and through the pandemic. I highly recommend Dolma to her new family. Personally, Dolma was an excellent guide to me during new motherhood. I could not have continued my job as a lawyer or functioned at the same high level without her steady hand, consistent approach, and obvious love and devotion to my son. I never worried about him when he was with her, even if I was traveling. She is a professional, who does her job at a high level. Dolma is easy to work with and will be a big asset to any family that she cares for. It is only because our son is going to school full time this fall that she is not staying on with us. She goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for our son. She makes sure that he eats well at all meals, and that he naps every day. Our son is an excellent napper - which we attribute to Dolma. He still takes a nap at age 5! She cooks for our son when necessary. She has been excellent at getting him on and sticking to a schedule. This has made his life and ours easier and more peaceful. She also makes sure that he gets outside and is very good at finding and setting up play dates with other kids in the neighborhood. Dolma is prompt and has been flexible with her schedule on the occasions when we have asked her to come earlier or leave later. She is not on her phone when she is on duty. I have come to appreciate this aspect of her care more and more as time has gone on. She only uses her phone during nap time or when she is setting up play dates or taking an occasional call from her family. Our son does not watch television when she is taking care of him. She does an excellent job of keeping the house tidy and ensures that the toys are picked up when we get home. Dolma is hyper-vigilant when it comes to mask wearing and any other risky situations. Our son wears a mask outside the house, including outdoors, whenever he is with her. I also appreciate her focus on safety at street crossings, on the playground, and around strangers. It is emotional for me to think that she won’t be around. But it is with the highest regard that I recommend her to her next family.

So many moms have told me how lucky I am to have found Val. She is always making friends for my girls (and mom friends for me). Kids are naturally drawn to her. She is brilliant with newborns and knows a million ways to engage toddlers. She has many years of experience as a full time caregiver, all with long time families with whom she still keeps in touch. She is a true gold standard in her profession. We moved out of the City, and it breaks our hearts to say goodbye to Val. But for a very lucky family, she will be available in November.

She is trustworthy and reliable with sound judgment and a strong moral character. Merle is an exceptionally experienced childcare specialist who is loving, kind, compassionate and possesses a reserve of patience. She is extremely safety conscious and has sound judgment and great sense. She started her career as a baby nurse over 40 years ago and has been a caregiver/FT nanny (all long-term positions) for the past 30 years. Having a strong understanding of child development, Merle also possesses the ability to turn every moment into a teaching moment for our daughter. She is respectful of how we want to do things while communicative with us if she feels something can be done differently or better. I can unequivocally say that without Merle, Hazel would not be as well-mannered, well-behaved, or well-adjusted as she is today! She has truly changed our family’s lives for the better.

Parent Reference

Diani is the best nanny and child educator out there. The only reason we aren't working with her now is because our daughter is going to school full-time now. Diani started helping our family three years ago when our daughter was three weeks old. Throughout that time then we have seen our daughter blossom with Diani's care. We have seen countless other nannies who merely watch the child or transport them to an activity. Diani is 100% of the time actively engaged. She teaches and explains. Our daughter, at the age of two, was asking questions with intellectual curiosity well past her age, that was in large part thanks to Diani's style. We think three things set Diani apart: - She is a connector. Within a month, Diani had met half a dozen wonderful nannies in the neighborhood who were caregivers for really great children the same age as our daughter (within 3 months). Our daughter has had the same core group of friends for the first three years of her life, plus a few extras. AND most of them also were Francophone, so the kids were learning French with each other too. - She is an educator. We chose a couple of classes, but Diani also had recommendations that fit our daughter's schedule and needs. Also, Diani had weekly "lesson plans" that included in-home arts and crafts and other activities. Throughout the year, our walls began to be covered with season-appropriate artwork. Diani reinforced with our daughter manners and how to put toys and crafts away after they were finished using them. - She is part of the family. She found her place within our home, traveled with us, and cared for all of us in the way that only family does. She had glowing reviews from two past families, and every word was 100% true.

Have you ever questioned if your nanny was sent by God? I am in no way a religious person, but after my second daughter was born it crossed my mind more than a few times. In her 30 years of experience, Gillian has worked with only three families, as no one wants to let her go. Three words: gentleness, kindness, and patience. If you are looking for someone you can trust unconditionally, you just found her. As a new mother I could hand my infant to Gillian with the knowledge she would be well cared for and LOVED. As the kids grew she instinctively got on the floor to play with them. A former teacher in her native St. Vincent, she was instrumental in helping my daughters learn to read, write, and count very early. Gillian smiles and laughs easily (and we all need someone like that around!) She was wonderful at teaching manners in a gentle way. Additionally, Gillian recently became an accredited BABY NURSE. My daughters are now 13 and 16. We are still close with Gillian. She was a loving, warm presence throughout their childhoods.

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

Our wonderful nanny needs a new job! She has been with us for 4 years and my son loves her. We all love her! I wish we could keep her with us forever, but my son is starting Kindergarten next week so we no longer need help during the day. Patricia has a great spirit and always keeps my son laughing and smiling. She arrives in the morning, packs him up for the day, and they are off! She always finds something for them to do. In addition to lunch and naps, you can often find them in the park, the library, the river for music, at a playground, the museum, the zoo, at a class, or on a play date. What I loved most was how Patricia made friends with lots of other nannies, so my son had a very vibrant social life with all of their kids! When they arrived home after a fun-packed day, she would bath him, feed him and I would find them on the floor playing a game when I walked in from work. Both giggling and wearing huge smiles. Patricia is great with both babies and toddlers. She taught my son so many things. One of my favorites was how he learned to walk down the sidewalk with one hand on the stroller. She also taught him to stop on command anywhere outside. To this day, if I shout out “red light” he will stop wherever he is and wait for further instructions thanks to Patricia! What else can I tell you about Patricia…she is dependable, responsible, always shows up on time and has that “nanny magic”. Ya know…how they can get them to eat, listen and try new things when you can't? He knows she’s the boss and he loves her for it. She definitely has those nanny super powers ? One more important thing to mention. My son has severe nut allergies. We carry an epipen for him. Patricia is always aware of this and makes sure he is never in a dangerous situation. She also always makes sure to tell me if there is an event coming up (like a birthday party) where they will be serving cake or something he can't eat. That way I can send her out with a replacement item to eat so he won't feel left out when everyone else is eating birthday cake. It’s so sweet. We love Patricia and I can’t recommend her enough. The next family that welcomes her into their lives will be as lucky as we were! If you have any questions or want more info, please reach out to me directly.

Allison is a wonderful, responsible, loving nanny, and she comes with our absolute highest recommendation! We met Allison through very close friends of ours who had hired her as their nanny and who gave her their highest recommendation. Allison has been with us for the last eight years, starting with us on day three of our daughter's life. Allison is loving, kind, reliable, flexible, 100% trustworthy, straightforward, social and active (in terms of organizing playdates and activities for our daughter at all stages of her life throughout the last eight years). She happily takes responsibility for all cooking and laundry/ironing as it relates to our daughter. Our daughter loves Allison dearly, as do we, and we consider her a member of our family. Allison's personality is very warm and engaging - this was important to us as we looked for a nanny. We wanted to be sure our daughter felt safe, loved and happy when with her nanny, and Allison created an environment in which our daughter felt that way. Allison also knows how to maintain boundaries for children (she will take your lead as the parents in terms of how you want to draw those boundaries) - and she is very good about being appropriately firm yet calm and gentle at the same time. Allison is very engaged - for example, when our daughter was very young, Allison was always taking her out for stroller walks and later to parks. Allison would meet other nannies/young children and proactively schedule play dates for our daughter. Allison always enjoyed taking our daughter to her various activities and classes (as a baby and toddler), and then was extremely reliable with schedules and timeliness as our daughter entered preschool and elementary school. At each stage of our daughter's life and as our daughter entered new schools, Allison adapted and helped foster the new friendships our daughter was building. We consistently receive positive feedback about Allison from other adults (teachers, coaches) regarding how engaged and attentive she is with our daughter (i.e. she is a caregiver who is focused on the child, not on her phone or distracted in some other way etc.) We cannot say enough positive things about Allison, and we feel so fortunate and blessed that she has been a member of our family for the past eight years. We would welcome the opportunity to speak further about Allison and her many wonderful qualities! Please feel free to contact us directly.

We were very lucky to find Virna, she has taken care of our 2 and 4 year old boys for the last two years and made our lives so much better. She is a professional and takes her job of 23 years very seriously. Our children will be going to school full time in September and we are greatly saddened to have to give her up. Virna is not just a nanny but she is part of the family she is a kind loving, patient and a nurturing person who wants the best for our children. She treats them as if they are her own. Virna is reliable and punctual because she shows up 30 minutes early every single day, so even if the trains are late, she is still on time. She built relationships with other nannies, teachers, mothers and people who work in our building so everywhere we go our kids had friends and people looking out for them. We were always at ease knowing they could not be safer. She also sends us pictures throughout the day so we always know what they are doing. Our kids had an instant connection with her, she started when our youngest was 7 weeks old and we always felt very relaxed when she was taking care of him and our other son. Now they are both rambunctious boys and she has no problem keeping up with them and creating great activities for them. In the mornings she reads with them, sings with them and teaching them how to speak in complete sentences. Our children make beautiful art projects with her, she always finds creative things to do. She is always setting up playdates that are Covid Friendly. Virna is also our eyes and ears for what our oldest does in school. She has a great report with the teachers and will tell you what is happening daily. Virna gave me excellent parenting advice and has helped me to become a better parent. Please let us know if you are interested in a nanny I would love to talk with you.

Wonderful nanny available mid-September! Karlene has been with my daughter Lilah since she was 10 weeks old. The only reason we are parting is that at 3 years and 3 months, Lilah will be going to nursery school. When we had a trial day with Karlene, she made it clear her number one priority with a baby is to keep the baby safe, and also make sure the baby feels loved. She did both and more. Karlene has years of experience with newborns and toddlers and is a consummate professional. -She values clear communication -has never been late to work and often is early -has developed warm relationships with our neighbors -has literally never taken an uncalled for sick day (just to get her Covid vaccines) and only timed her vacations with ours -established and maintained a schedule for Lilah from ten weeks on -offered enriching activities and as Lilah aged, found opportunities for meaningful interactions through local classes and (outside during the pandemic) play time with local kids -gladly wore a mask at all times pre vaccine and continues to outside while with Lilah, who also always wears a mask -gladly follows our directives on specific care for Lilah -prepared Lilah’s meals (light cooking, mostly serving what we had cooked) and does her laundry Ideally Karlene is looking for a family of a baby to continue with her next journey developing a new relationship with the child she cares for. Minimum hours per week 40 and closer to 50 preferred. Karlene lives in Brooklyn and worked there for decades but was happy to have a change of scenery (and a much longer commute) up to northern Manhattan. So she is flexible about neighborhood. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Please send me a text if you’d like more information or to set up a time to speak. 917-439-2152. Karlene can be reached at 917-337-2483.

I am posting on behalf of our beloved nanny, Jade Fernandez, who has worked with our family helping us raise our two sons now 4 and 1.5 years old. We met Jade when she worked at our oldest son’s daycare and hired her permanently when we went into lockdown in March 2020. She is very flexible and she cared for our son on very short notice while I gave birth at the height of the pandemic in April ‘20. She’s also flexed her schedule when school closed for holidays, quarantine or one of the kids got sick. Jade is well versed in childcare ranging from infants to elementary school age children, and is certified in CPR. She is extremely professional, reliable, patient and calm, nurturing and respectful. The boys run to greet her every morning and shower her with kisses and hugs when she leaves. She formed great relationships with other nannies in the neighborhood and also arranged playdates with a small, trusted group of friends that adhered to our COVID protocols. Things we love about Jade: • nurturing and energetic — takes children outside frequently, organizes other activities within walking distance, feeds baby, prepares/cleans bottles, soothes, sets down for naps • proactive — prepares to get newborn baby on a routine, nap schedule, knows developmental milestones • reliable — on-time, recaps each day to ease handoff to parents • conscious of safety — our home is not baby-proofed • helpful — picks up toys, runs dishwasher, notices when the house needs to replenish essentials (milk, diapers, etc) and makes note for parents

I am writing this letter with the highest level of emphatic recommendation for our former nanny, Martha Pachon. We have known Martha and her son Sebastian for over fifteen years, and we have always known her to be diligent, compassionate, hardworking, kind and caring. When our daughter Emilie was born in 2015, there was no question in our mind that Martha would make the ideal nanny to assist us in raising our daughter while we both worked full time. Through nearly six years with us, Martha was exemplary in every way and was really a member of our family. From a parent’s perspective Martha was everything one could hope for - she was unfailingly punctual (literally always), she never missed work, her bilingual skills enabled her to provide our daughter with a firm grounding in Spanish, she went above and beyond to assist in every way, she was kind and responsible, but above all she truly loved Emilie. From Emilie’s perspective Martha was also perfect - she was fun and fair, she was constantly engaged, she always took Emilie for wonderful experiences throughout the city and she was there for Emilie in every way. Not a day would pass that Emilie and Martha weren’t at the zoo, the Natural History Museum, the playground, the bookstore, etc. I remember that I would sometimes get off of work early and go to the nearby playground to find Emilie and Martha. All of the other nannies were unfailingly on their phones or huddled together gossiping. Only Martha and sometimes a handful of others would actually be engaging with the children they were caring for. It was always true no matter the day or time. We know well that the search for a nanny to raise a newborn or young child can be daunting. Trusting someone with the most precious person in your world is a leap of faith. Martha is not, however, an unproven experiment. She was truly the most wonderful nanny in every way and she has helped raise our daughter into a curious, polite, confident, appreciative and fully engaged child. Perhaps more importantly, Martha has a full grown son, Sebastian, who is a further testament to Martha’s caregiving. Sebastian is a wonderful man who has also become so engaged in our family’s life and who has himself done so much for Emilie. Martha raised him incredibly well and was equally passionate about caring for our daughter. We have no doubt she would do the same with your child and recommend her wholeheartedly without any reservation. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspect of our six years working with Martha, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, James and Virginie Franklin

Both of the girls are now teenagers and can move around the city independently after school and we no longer need full time help with them. I would (and do) trust her with anything regarding my children. Both my husband and I work full time so having Asha fully in charge was essential. She is great with children of all ages: Babies: With multiple children and grandchildren of her own, as well as 20 plus years as a professional nanny, Asha knows more about babies than I have forgotten. She has amazing instincts for soothing them and is able to work closely in partnership with parents as she did with us to work out feeding routines, sleeping schedules, play time etc. She has lots of energy, and is gentle and loving yet firm. She is incredibly focused on safety, health and cleanliness at all times. Toddlers/Preschoolers: As the girls and their friends grew up, Asha always had ideas for activities to entertain them. She read to them, sang, played games, did art project and baked with them. They were able to take full advantage of the neighborhood with trips to the children’s museum, Museum of Natural History, Central Park zoo and park and playgrounds. She prepared nutritious/delicious food for them and always was prepared with snacks, band aids and hugs for any contingency. She gained the respect of other parents and teachers at the girls’ preschool through her excellent care and guidance of the girls. Kindergarten/Elementary/Middle School/High School: this is a wide range, but through all these years, Asha has been supportive of the girls’ academic studies (at Metropolitan Montessori and now Brearley), athletic extracurriculars, and other activities. They love and trust her judgment, as do I. She knows children throughout all their growth stages, celebrates their successes and is unsurprised by the challenges. She is happy to take direction from us as parents but also to take initiative to get things done and has more common sense than most people I know. She would be a wonderful addition to any family. Your child(ren) will be healthy, safe, flourishing and loved in her care. Please text to set up a call with any questions or contact Asha directly.

My family is preparing to move out of the city next month and would like to help our wonderful nanny Sally find a new family. She's been taking care of our 15 mo son for the past year with utmost kindness, grace, and a firm but loving attitude. It's not been easy to parent or become a new parent during the pandemic, but having Sally around eased our minds in so many ways. She is very careful with covid precautions and is fully vaccinated. Sally has 21 years of experience caring for kids in NY, most recently before us with another family in Williamsburg. Prior to that, she worked with a family on the UWS for ten (!) years. Sally knows the city inside and out in terms of children's amenities and always knows where the good playgrounds, sprinklers, classes, and activities are. A typical day involves active mornings and afternoons, snack and lunch preparation, and prioritizing a consistent sleep schedule. Sally is development and health oriented--she has goals in mind for our son's physical and verbal development, and cooks him healthy and balanced meals. She also goes above and beyond with cleaning, and was very respectful as we've spent the past year working from home. She's always engaged with our child and does a great job preparing us for upcoming milestones and transitions. Sally's a true member of the parenting team, and we will miss working with her. Please contact me for me for more details.

Parent Reference

There isn't one word that could be used to describe our nanny, Alicia. Alicia started caring for our daughter Ella in January, 2021 when Ella was 2 1/2 months old. Upon interviewing Alicia, we knew that she would be the perfect nanny for Ella, and for us. We are in challenging times right now, I was (and still) am working from home, my husband is a paramedic in Harlem and Alicia handled all of this with grace and confidence. Alicia makes and sterilizes Ella's bottles, her solids, finger foods, washes and folds Ella's laundry, cleans up after playtime, organizes the diapers and wipes. Alicia reads to Ella, takes her outside every single day (weather permitting), and teaches her new skills. Ella's wake windows are something my husband and I pay close attention to and handles naptime, etc. with a breeze. The very few times that I have gone into the office, Alicia writes notes for us explaining how Ella's day was. We trust her entirely. It has been so fun to watch Ella's (who is now 10 months) relationship with Alicia grow. The minute Alicia walks through the door, Ella gets incredibly excited (and waves- which Alicia taught her how to do). We are first time parents, and it did take some adjusting for everyone, but eventually it all worked itself out. Alicia sets up everything so that we do not have to rush in the evening or the morning- it is all just ready to go. With COVID, there aren't any playdates or playgroups for Ella right now, but Alicia always finds new ways to teach new skills, and learn while they are together. While I could go on forever about our loving, patient, caring, kind, skilled nanny I will stop here. We are relocating to Florida in October, and unfortunately cannot take Alicia with us. Anyone who is able to have Alicia work for them will be very very lucky. Please reach out with any questions!

Parent Reference

Sandy is an amazing caregiver! She has worked with our family for about three and a half years, taking care of our 4yo and 2yo daughters. For the first 2 1/2 of those years, Sandy also took care of another girl about the same age as our oldest as part of a share. She was extremely caring and understanding of each girl's individual personalities and needs. We were especially impressed with Sandy's ability to handle three girls, all very close in age, even getting them on the same nap/rest schedule starting the first week. She also potty-trained the two oldest girls simultaneously. Sandy enjoys being outside year round which was important to our families because the girls are happiest when they are outside and on the go. Sandy is an expert at exploring neighborhood parks, libraries, and classes. When they are inside, Sandy engages the girls with activities like books, puzzles, games, and building things. All of our girls love books and we attribute much of that to their time reading together and at the library. Throughout the pandemic, we were impressed with how Sandy communicated with us about comfort levels, minimizing risk, and the precautions she was taking with her family and ours. She received her vaccines as soon as she was eligible. Both families have had outstanding experiences with Sandy. She is the ultimate professional - reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated - and comes with our highest recommendations. Our girls are transitioning to full time preschool and we are all so sad that we'll no longer be able to work with Sandy. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested, we can also share a recommendation letter and contact info from the other family in the share. — Thank you! Jess and Matt

Hello parents I am highly recommending our nanny of 9 years, unfortunately our needs have changed and we can no longer keep her. Shin is seeking a long term, full-time position. She is mature, highly reliable and a very active person. My kids love spending time with her playing at the park or at home. She will provide much love and support and teach them independence and self-confidence. She is always in a great mood and a pleasure to be around. Shin is always on time and ready to help out with anything. She quickly got my kids into a routine and handled all the typical responsibilities of the day. These would include (schedule play dates, classes for activities, pick up the kids from school, tidying up the kids and their laundry). Shin is also very cautious about Covid and fully vaccinated and is willing to follow any covid precautions the family is taking. Shin has been a great role model for our children and we believe she would be a great addition to any family.

She alway helps take care of all my kids needs, laundry, food, walks to park, cleaning up after kids, pick up from school, etc name it . She is extremely trustworthy, helpful, responsible, caring, respectful, very energetic, loving, happy and well mannered. Wish we could have brought her with us to leave in Orlando.

Parent Reference

This post is made on behalf of our beloved nanny, Lucilla, who has cared for our two daughters (ages 4 and 7) for nearly seven years. We are transitioning from her care because both of our girls will be enrolled in school full time and our childcare needs have changed. We strongly recommend Lucilla as a nanny and want to help connect her with a new family in a full-time position. Her ideal next job would be to care for an infant full time for a family looking for a long-term nanny. Lucilla is kind, patient, dedicated, and reliable. She is honest and trustworthy and exercises excellent judgment. She pays attention to details. She is always on time. She always focuses on safety and alerts us to any concerns (our younger daughter has a food allergy). Our girls would recommend Lucilla for a million more reasons. She plays with them, jokes with them, dances with them, and laughs with them. She prepares their meals, and they love what she makes. All told, they adore her and will miss her tremendously. As parents, we could not imagine a better person to take care of them the past many years. We will deeply miss her presence in our home, and the comfort of knowing she is watching the girls while we are away. Lucilla has decades of experience with newborns/babies and young children. She has been working with families in NYC for over 18 years and on the Upper West Side for the last 6+ years. She's extremely COVID safe/cautious and is fully vaccinated. She is documented and legal to work.

If you and your family are searching for a kindhearted, compassionate, one of kind, very special nanny who will love your child/children unconditionally, please keep reading. There really aren’t enough adjectives to articulate how wonderful Toyonie is and how lucky my husband and I feel to have had her take care of our daughter for the past 6 years. Like so many other families, our needs have simply changed due to the pandemic. Only a move from New York City could have taken her away from our daughter. She started working with us when my daughter was 4 years old. She has become my daughter’s best friend. She has loved my daughter like her own. She’s cared for my daughter from pre-K through third grade and has adapted to the needs of each age. She’s been instrumental in my daughter’s development. She is reliable and flexible. She has never called out sick and was on time every single day. She is incredibly honest, trustworthy and has always had my daughter’s best interests at heart. She will be your child’s advocate and will never take her eyes off your child/children when they are out and about. She doesn’t look at her phone when she’s working and her attention has always been 100% on my daughter. I’ve received so many compliments over the years from friends, teachers, doormen and other moms about how wonderful she is and the positive interactions they witnessed. She is smart and seemed to find no school assignment too challenging to help my daughter understand and complete it. She read to my daughter every day. She has always kept our apartment clean and tidy and my daughter’s room/clothes/laundry were always meticulously organized. She’s patient, fun, creative and proactive. She will be great at taking care of children of all ages. She really loves children.

It is my pleasure to recommend Urila. Urila worked for me for almost six years in the role of a nanny. She cared for my three children starting when my oldest child was three months old. During her time with my family, Urila went above and beyond. She is motivated and took initiative to plan activities and play dates for my children ensuring that they were constantly engaged. Urila is highly motivated and works well independently with little direction needed. Urila relates to children of all ages. She seamlessly cared for my children through their different stages from infancy to elementary school age. She taught my children material in an age appropriate manner and captured their attention. She has a love of all children and often other moms would ask me if Urila would be able to supervise their children as well. Urila is reliable and trustworthy and hardly took any days off in almost 6 years. I could always count on her to be there. Additionally, I knew that my children were in great hands and was always at ease knowing that my kids were in Urila’s care. In summary, I believe that Urila Weekes would be an asset to your family and her love and dedication for children will shine through. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions/

Yana is an extremely capable caregiver who has extensive background in caring for multiple children -- especially twins, as in our case. She told us that working with children is her calling and our 4+ years with her have borne that out. She’s exceptional with babies and equally flexible in transitioning to care for and support older children as they move on to school. She exudes patience and understanding and is a joy to be around, both for children and parents. We have been stopped countless times on the street by community members singing her praises. She’s inventive and playful - skillful with entertaining children indoors, but also enterprising with finding outdoor activities - which can be invaluable if you’re a parent who is working from home. Yana has traveled with us and worked late, and she’s willing to fill-in on the weekends when needed. She connects with other nannies for playdates, joint plans and outings. She has been with our family since our twins were two months old, and the kids will happily tell you she’s their best friend. We are heartbroken to be moving to NJ and already have plans for visits. Yana is fully vaccinated and takes every precaution we and she believe are warranted to keep our children safe both in terms of Covid and the general hazards of life in a big city. She has over two decades of experience working with children in a variety of settings and we never once worried about our children's safety under her watch. Conscientious and flexible, she's also a mother herself and we highly recommend her especially if you have twins.

Wendy instantly became a part of our family when she started caring for our daughter at two weeks old. She has been a constant source of warmth and support. Wendy was an amazing night nurse and helped our baby sleep through the night by the time she was 3 months old. My daughter absolutely loves her, and I am convinced that she is a healthy, happy toddler because of the amazing care she received. Wendy is incredibly skillful, and has a special magic with babies. Her energy never seems to run out - she is passionate, warm, professional, and above all caring. She has experience working with twins, triplets, and special needs babies, which comes through in the quality of care that she provides. She has always been willing to stay late or work extra days when we have needed her and has also helped with our baby's meals, laundry, and clean up. Beyond all this, Wendy has gone out of her way to expose our daughter to lots of experiences - taking her to the park, lots of outdoor activities, and even making new friends with other babies in the neighborhood! I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are pregnant or have a young baby, then please consider Wendy as a caregiver. We are so sad to lose her but decided to transition our daughter to day care. Wendy is looking to begin work as a baby nurse in September, is ideally looking for hours from 9AM-5PM and is also willing to work nights. Thank you, and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!

Parent Reference

Nathalee has been a wonderful caregiver to our children for the past 6.5 years. She began with us when my youngest was a baby and transitioned with us to caring for two children when my daughter was born. The kids are now 6 and 4 and will both be in full time school in the fall. After interviewing 15+ nannies, we hired Nathalee because she had the most glowing AND consistent references. We spoke with every family she had worked for over 20 years. She had long relationships with each of them and has kept in touch with all of them. They all said the same things-- she is the most kind, honest, reliable and caring person. I have had the same positive experiences with her and our family is quite saddened to end this chapter and hope to help Nathalee find a new family to join who will appreciate her as much as we do. Nathalee is 100% reliable. She has never called in sick and has only been late on occasion due to train trouble and she always texts, even if 5 minutes behind. She has only taken off work VERY rarely for doctor appointments or important family obligations- she never uses her sick days and has never used all of the personal dates we allotted for her each year. She always works to coordinate vacations with ours. This has provided peace of mind that is invaluable for a working mom. Nathalee is completely trustworthy, honest, and always her genuine self. I have never once questioned anything she has told me, or worried that she has held something back from me or exaggerated. Again, peace of mind that I never have to worry about what's going on with my kids and know they are in the hands of a good person. Nathalee is very experienced with babies, toddlers and beyond. She has her own three children who are the absolute kindest kids which, of course, tells you what type of parent and person she is. Nathalee is calm, patient, and knows what to do. She will ask questions, discuss how you as a parent want to approach things and she will take your lead. However, she does not need you to micromanage-- she knows how to take care of babies, toddlers, and young children and her experience was an asset to us. As a child psychologist myself, Nathalee and I were almost always on the same page and even where we may have rarely disagreed, I have never questioned her sound judgment. She will keep your kids safe and happy. She's great with babies! Nathalee is so easy to be around. She has a calm and quiet presence. I have worked from home many days, plus lived with her 3 days/week during the pandemic. I have spent so much time with her over the years and have never once felt uncomfortable or pressured to have a conversation. She is easy to talk to and communicates effectively about the children, but she is a true professional in that she lets you have space. Most importantly, Nathalee has the kindest heart and loves to be with children. She and my kids have a wonderful relationship I could never have anticipated before we hired someone to help us. I know she will stay in touch with them, as she has with every other family she has worked with. Nathalee is on the floor with babies/toddlers, comes up with fun creative games as they get older, does arts/crafts with them, sings to them and she truly enjoys them. I have never seen her get annoyed or frustrated even as my kids have grown older and they often frustrate me! She nurtures them when they are sick, takes them to classes and makes playdates, shows genuine interests in their interests. When I work long days, I don't feel guilty leaving my kids at home because I know they are with Nathalee and she is family. Our needs have changed and Nathalee is looking for a new family to join for full-time live-out in Brooklyn or Manhattan. I would be happy to answer any questions and share more about my experiences with her. Best of luck in your search.

Over the last three months, we've been fortunate to have Sherrone take care of our young (<6 months) daughter. My wife and I are both working full-time, and without family in the City we needed someone who could help us manage. Without a doubt, Sherrone has been the most present, pleasant, hard-working, capable, kind, gentle caretaker. We were fortunate to benefit from her decades of experience caring for children. She has professional training, having worked at a government daycare in her home country of Barbados. She was always on time; in fact, she was early. She always arrived with a smile and a genuine desire to help, going above and beyond with housework (which we never asked of her). Sherrone would also take our daughter on long walks with the stroller, ensuring that she got to be curious about her surrounding world, returning just in time for feeds and naps. Having worked in the Park Slope area for years, she set up playdates (with our permission) for our daughter, who even went on outings with her new friends. Such as going to the botanical gardens. Sherrone is vaccinated (sharing with her consent) and understood the realities of the pandemic. She was cautious, wearing a mask when out and keeping hygiene front of mind. We always felt confident that she was taking every precaution. She was a wonderful presence to have in the house. Respectful of our work realities, but also curious to learn about our lives (and vice versa). Overall, Sherrone is an outstanding professional. Any family would be lucky to be working with her.

Paola is an exceptional nanny and I can’t recommend her enough!! She’s been with us since our first baby Joy was 4 months and we had no idea about how to take care of a newborn. Based on some of my friends past experiences i was going to consider taking my baby to daycare at a very early age but after we met Paola we realized it was the best and smartest choice to have her taking care of Joy until, at least, old enough to appreciate the interaction with other children. Best choice ever. Paola is exceptionally organized, patient, kind and loving and our baby is in love with her. She’s helped us immensely in sleep training our baby, with patience and expertise. She was also instrumental in implementing a solid diet to Joy, which she now masters. Also, through activities and outdoor play with Paola, our baby was an early walker at 10 months! She calmly took care of our daughter when going through an allergic reaction and stayed with us the whole time until we knew Joy was fine, and i’m so grateful for that! Paola is very organized and she would always leave the apartment immaculate after leaving. She was incredibly punctual and very professional. We are sad to let her go (we would like to keep her forever!) and we are for sure going back to her if we need again a nanny! I’ll be happy to talk, through email or phone, with anybody interested in her services and share my experience. My email is [email protected], and phone 917-855-7103

Ann is currently caregiver to our two kids aged 6 and 5. She is incredibly kind and nurturing; our kids have grown to love her like they do their grandparents. She is highly experienced, having worked in the industry for years and raised her own children who are now almost all adults. She exercises strong judgement to follow instructions but also use her instincts where needed. I grew to rely on her for advice when it comes to the care of the kids especially when they fell ill; she always has great advice on home remedies born from experience. She is so thoughtful and often surprises our kids with kind gestures. Once she baked a cake for one of my kids for his birthday without me asking. She is a superb cook. Her remit included cooking for the kids from time to time and for breakfast, our kids would be sad on her days off because they couldn’t have Ann’s oatmeal or pancake and didn’t like how I make them. She has many wonderful Caribbean recipes and my husband and I are addicted to her fried chicken! Ann would be a wonderful asset to any loving family.

Parent Reference

We are relocating and want to help Marva find a new family to work for. I cannot say enough good things about Marva. She has been with us for over 3 years, since our daughter was a newborn. Our daughter and her have the absolute sweetest relationship. Marva is sweet, soft spoken and considerate. She is very reliable and we have never had any issues with schedules. She is always willing to come early or stay late as needed. I receive frequent unsolicited compliments from neighbors, friends, and other moms about how wonderful Marva is and how lucky we are! Her priority every day is for our daughter to have a great day. I rest easy knowing she is well cared for and happy. She sends pictures all day long updating me on their activities. When people compliment my daughter I often think Marva is really the one to thank! She does an excellent job at reinforcing manners and positive behavior. Marva makes sure our daughter's clothes are always laundered and pressed, her toys are clean, refrigerator is full of prepped food and her room is tidy. Marva is fully vaccinated. She is a certified medical assistant, EKG tech, and CPR certified Please feel free to reach out to her directly 347-563-3083. I am also available to answer any questions Briana 516-353-6550.

Parent Reference

Claudia has been like a family member for the past 12 years. She started working with our family when our oldest was 3 months old (now 12 years old) and stayed with us through the birth of our second child until we moved from New York City. She still nannies for us in Florida a few times a year which is wonderful as we get to see her and she can spend time with the girls. She was wonderful with our girls when they were babies, always helping to take care of everything they needed (laundry, food, trips to the park, classes, cleaning, etc.) and transitioned easily to when they were older (playdates, pick up from school, academic help, etc.) She is always entirely engaged when she is with them, always doing fun activities and keeping them busy (reading books, crafts, long trips to the park, etc... they would always arrive home exhausted!) She loves the girls like they are her family and we have always trusted her completely with them! She has traveled with us many times and we have also left the girls with her for weekends away (again, always knowing she is taking wonderful care of them). Her top traits would be her careful nature (hand washing, sanitizing, always cautious, etc.), punctuality, reliability (literally never called out that I can remember) and overall loving, kind nature. We really can't recommend her enough!
