Exceptional Nanny Available We’ve known Lupe for nearly 10 years—since our eldest was a baby. It’s impossible to describe how great she is and how much better she made our lives. Our parent friends always pointed out that we were lucky to have her. We know. Lupe is: -Loving. Refers to our kids as “my babies.” -Motivated to get the kids out of the house. Pre-COVID that meant trips to the library, museum. During the pandemic, it meant trips to the playground and walks around the neighborhood. -Fun. She draws, plays hide-and-seek, creates with playdough. -So hard working. We rarely saw her sit down and she’s never on her phone. -Thoughtful and easy going. -Great with kids of all ages. We have 3 kids and she’s one of the only people who can handle them all at once. (And will even welcome an additional child if someone wants to bring a friend on an adventure.) -Punctual, reliable. Never late. -A great mom herself. She has two lovely, grown daughters. Lupe takes her job really seriously and we hope to connect her with another family who will value her the way we do.

We are currently in the process of moving and will love to help her find a new family .We have a 1 year old and a 3-year-old who truly adores her . We admire her creative ideas and ability to think outside the box . She’s hands-on and helps the kids achieve their milestones. She's very experienced with newborns/toddlers and helped a lot with creating nap schedules, baby-led weaning and potty training. I always felt comfortable leaving the kids with her - sometimes she would even look after them overnight if my husband and I had to travel for work. She keeps the kids busy with books, artwork ideas, trips to the library, zoo and museums. Her duties included the following: During the week, she was responsible for: Kids laundry, Cooking fresh meals for the kids (cooks very well), cleaning and tidying their rooms, (anything else related to the kids), organizing play dates, bath time and winding them down for the day. She is always up for staying extra hours and is very calm and composed. We recommend her to any family and I'm sure she will be an amazing nanny!!

Socorro Alzate has been with us for over 7 years. She started when our first child was 1 month old. Both our children are now in full time school and given our situation, we begrudgingly decided it is time to move on. I cannot say enough good things about Socorro Alzate but I will mention some in order of importance. I have received multiple emails and chats from other parents saying how lucky I was to have found Socorro. Multiple parents from my kids’ schools have chatted or emailed me saying how lucky I was to have her mainly given her amazing and loving nature with my children. She holds our children’s safety as her number 1 priority. She is much more conservative than I am in every aspect and I feel much safer with her with my kids than nearly anyone else. She cooks great healthy Colombian meals for our children that my kids actually eat. She is very clean and organized and kept our apartment looking quite nice. She is extremely reliable. Over 7 years, I think she has been late only once and that was due to her being stuck on the subway. She is overall a good person with a great heart and we will miss her dearly.

If Liz lived in NJ, I would hire her to watch my 3 boys in a heartbeat. I am posting here to help her find a nice family. Trustworthy and extremely reliable. Liz managed my son’s needs from meals, playground outings, naps, ensuring his safety and cleanliness. They enjoyed spending much of the day outside and kept in contact throughout the day with photographs and texts. Liz created a community around my son by organising playdates, meet ups and classes. Liz is very organized, she keeps everything clean. My son had a lot health issues when he was younger and we trusted her above and beyond to care for our son. I highly recommend Liz.

Parent Reference

Pauline Gooden-Christie began working with our family as a nanny in Spring 2016, shortly after the birth of our son. In Winter 2018, we welcomed our daughter. Until Summer 2022, when our children were old enough to attend full day programs, Pauline cared for both of our children and was a part of our family. Our priorities in looking for a nanny were someone who would, above all, keep our children safe and provide them with love. Pauline absolutely excelled at both objectives during her time with us. In addition, she brought a unique warmth and zest for life that helped create a daily environment of joy and vibrancy for our children. Whether she was teaching our son the words to a classic song, or helping our daughter make new friends in the playground, Pauline consistently infused positivity into our kids’ daily routines. In her six years with us, Pauline was never late and rarely, if ever, missed work. She was beyond dependable, often available for babysitting beyond scheduled hours, sometimes with very short notice. She regularly went above and beyond duties. Perhaps most emblematic of this was her continuous support through the pandemic. Pauline also has recently updated CPR AED/first aid certifications. For a family looking for someone who will prioritize their children, providing them with safety, and bringing copious positive energy and enthusiasm to their lives, we would wholeheartedly recommend Pauline as a nanny. We would be more than happy to speak to the above and answer any questions regarding Pauline.

Our wonderful nanny, Genelia, is looking for a new family. We feel so lucky to have found Miss G to take care of our daughter, and wish she could stay with us forever, but our daughter is now in school. She joined us when our baby was only 10 months old and taught us virtually everything we know as parents, from basics like feeding, bathing and grooming to early-childhood development goals for speech, motor skills and socialization. She is certified in early childhood education, and she has taught Emma so much— from crawling to walking, shapes, colors, numbers, letters, hand washing—you name it. She never uses screens with Emma—just engages her in enriching arts and crafts, make-believe activities, reading, music, dancing, and outdoor exploration. Above all she has helped Emma to become an independent, responsible child who feeds herself, loves to help around and house, and tidies up after herself! She has also fostered such empathy and kindness in Emma. Emma shares so easily and often tries to comfort crying children she doesn’t even know—all behavior she learnt from Miss G. Miss G. did an amazing job socializing Emma during the pandemic while still keeping her completely safe—building a big network of nannies in the neighborhood so that Emma would have lots of wonderful friends to play with nearby. No ask is too big—Miss G has worked nights and weekends with little notice, and is so punctual and reliable. She is also a wonderful cook who lovingly prepares beautiful, nutritious meals for Emma every day. We’re so sad to be losing her and would recommend her without reservation. If you’re looking for someone who will fill your child with confidence, teach them how to make wonderful friends, foster kindness and a sense of responsibility in your child—you really can’t do better than Genelia. Any family would be SO lucky to have her.

We've had the pleasure of having Lanna work with our 13mo old son for the last month while our family has been in transition ahead of travelling for the upcoming two months. Lanna began caring for our son without hesitation - managing his meals, playground outings, naps, ensuring his safety and cleanliness. They enjoyed spending much of the day outside in the warm November weather and kept in contact throughout the day with photographs and texts. Lanna was early to work each day, quick to take on tasks around the house - laundry for our son, cleaning toys, dishes, etc. and got along with our dog who is forever underfoot. Her kindness, patience and care were evident from her first day! Lanna has much expertise and in our short time together helped transition our son from formula to milk and is willing to provide ideas to anything we asked as first time parents. Ideally, Lanna would like to find another family in and around Brooklyn Heights, but is also quite familiar with Park Slope. If you would like to contact Lanna, please do so directly and you're welcome to reach me as a reference.

Amazing, loving, unique, and exceptional Nanny We are searching for a new home for our incredible bilingual (English and Spanish) nanny, Vanessa. She is unique and differentiated from other nannies that we've worked with. She has prior experience as an au pair (she went thru an Au Pair Program back in 2015 in California where she took care of several kids of various ages and backgrounds), and she’s been nannying since then. She has a college degree in Public Relations and Journalism, so apart from being amazing with kids, she is also educated and intelligent. She has First Aid, CPR, and swim training certifications. Vanessa has been caring for our son since he was 9 months old. She speaks to him in both English and Spanish. We love that she's so energetic, fun, warm-hearted, and loving. We ask her to take lots of photos and videos of our son (which she does). She's enrolled him in different classes on her own. She is very independent and is mindful of milestones he should be meeting. She keeps to a tight schedule, cooks healthy meals, cleans, and does his laundry while he naps. She is basically his surrogate mother as we both work long hours. She even stayed over our apartment and took care of our son while we were out of the country for two consecutive weeks. Our son got sick with croop while we were away, and she immediately knew what to do to keep his condition from worsening, and she put our mind at ease despite how far away we were. Vanessa is very self-motivated, and although she has some job offers already, she is really looking for someone that will treat her as part of their family rather than as an employee. For this, she will go above and beyond to make sure you and your child are very happy. We often ask her to stay over for dinner because she's just truly a pleasant person to have around our home, and we trust her above and beyond to care for our son. While we only have one child, she does have experience with caring for more than one child. She is looking for full-time work ONLY.

In addition she would read him stories, do laundry, and lite housekeeping. She made friends with the other nannies and arranged play dates so Joshua would interact with other children his age. In July 2021, although it wasn’t an easy decision we had to let Marie go when Joshua started going to school. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call or email.

Parent Reference

Claudia has worked with my two children for six years, since my eldest child was five months old -- her skill, care, and professionalism are unmatched! Claudia quickly made herself indispensable when she started working with my family in 2016. She stepped in and created order out of our new family chaos—manifesting a nap schedule where there was none, taking over bottle feeding with ease, and setting up music classes and playdates with new “friends” who my son counts among his closest today. When my husband started traveling for work, she voluntarily stayed longer at the end of the day to make sure my son was bathed and in pajamas so that I could spend some unhurried time with him when I got home from work. When my daughter was born in 2018, Claudia took on watching both kids—ensuring that my son could feel stimulated and validated in a tough transition for him, and that my daughter could still get the naps and snuggles she needed (and make some friends of her own). And when the pandemic upended all of our lives in 2020, Claudia came back to work months into the lockdown and made it work with two parents working from a very small home, packing the kids up each morning and finding the least occupied corners of Brooklyn Bridge Park so the kids (and their parents) could have some freedom. We have also moved three times since she started with us, and she has been patient and flexible with the many changes. She is an adaptable problem solver through and through. Claudia has over twenty years of experience as a nanny for children across nine families, which shows in the quality of care she provides and sound judgment she demonstrates. She is extremely clean and tidy to a fault, and has helped my children to be conscientious about their own hygiene (critical in a pandemic!). She gently reminds us about seasons changing and new clothes, supplies, books or toys needed. She shares the good and bad about our children’s days with us, making clear that she values transparency and honesty even where it may lead to difficult conversations. But what stands out most about Claudia is the deep understanding and connection she has with the kids themselves. Through each stage of my kids’ lives, she has strived to meet all of their needs—physical, social, academic, and emotional. She reads to them and encourages their academic learning without making it feel like work. She takes them on adventures to explore the city with their friends and makes sure they get outside each day unless the weather is truly horrendous. She encourages their interests, even the ones we all hope will be fleeting. She has high expectations for their behavior but understands kids’ developmental limits and knows, for example, that a cranky kid just needs a snack, nap, hug, or all of the above. She encourages them to stand up for themselves, while also teaching them that it’s important to give grace to others having a hard time. For me, Claudia has provided a peace of mind that I would not have thought possible as a new parent. I know that when my kids are with her they are safe and loved and will be ably taken care of if the unexpected occurs. She takes this job seriously and makes sure she gets our attention as needed to make sure we are all on the same page. And she is a pleasure to be around! As someone who works outside the home in a high stress job, hiring Claudia was the best and most important decision I have made as a parent.

From the beginning, she has taken an active interest in helping our sons grow and learn. She is always suggesting classes, engaging with other nannies at the playground so our sons could have play dates with other kids and teaching our sons basic learning and development skills for their age. She's always on the go, rain or shine, even when our sons were infants, she's always coming up with creative ideas to keep our boys entertained. We credit our boy's skillet and confidence largely to her. Erin always kept us up to date through-out the day, sending pictures and videos or calling with silly stories. In addition to caring for our sons, she would offer to make purees for them when they were a baby as my sons got a little older, she would prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner if needed or directed. She does light housework, children's laundry, potty training and more. She is patient, easygoing, reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy and very flexible. Things ran smoothly because we had a great and clear communication which we admired and respected. She is available to start January 9th 2023. Additional references can be provided if necessary.

Our wonderful nanny of nearly 7 years is now looking to help another family! Nirmala has over 15 years of prior experience with children of various ages. She is loving, punctual, communicative, safety-conscious, and a hard worker. I think in nearly 7 years she may have been 5 minutes late less than 5 times! She also was flexible in scheduling days off, and she was on-call during the births of all children after my first, available at an hour’s notice. Two of my children were due right around Christmas time and she didn’t travel so she could be there to help during and after the birth! She has first aid and CPR certifications, as well as a Covid, flu vaccine, and tdap vaccine. She helped my children meet their developmental milestones. She also potty trained 2 of my children (and one was very difficult!) She keeps to a tight schedule, cooks (she loves to cook and she’s good!), cleans up after them, and does their laundry. She even took care of my children while we took couples trips. She is a great communicator and we met regularly to discuss my children and how things were going. She followed our personal parenting style but was also confident making day to day decisions regarding my children. My children consider her part of our family, and we frequently received compliments from other families about her. Nirmala certainly made our lives easier, and we felt confident leaving our children in her care. We are only saying goodbye because I decided to quit my job and we no longer need full-time help. Nirmala is looking for a full-time, live out, Monday to Friday job, preferably in Manhattan, Queens, Long Island, or Brooklyn. She would like to work 45-55 hours with competitive compensation. She can do one late night (date night) per week. She prefers to start with babies or younger children and grow with a family, as she did with mine. She could possibly start as a newborn care specialist and then transition to nannying. She is looking to start no later than January but is available immediately for the right family.

Amazing, loving, unique, and exceptional Nanny We are searching for a new home for our incredible bilingual (English and Spanish) nanny, Vanessa. She is unique and differentiated from other nannies that we've worked with. She has prior experience as an au pair (she went thru an Au Pair Program back in 2015 in California where she took care of several kids of various ages and backgrounds), and she’s been nannying since then. She has a college degree in Public Relations and Journalism, so apart from being amazing with kids, she is also educated and intelligent. She has First Aid, CPR, and swim training certifications. Vanessa has been caring for our son since he was 9 months old. She speaks to him in both English and Spanish. We love that she's so energetic, fun, warm-hearted, and loving. We ask her to take lots of photos and videos of our son (which she does). She's enrolled him in different classes on her own. She is very independent and is mindful of milestones he should be meeting. She keeps to a tight schedule, cooks healthy meals, cleans, and does his laundry while he naps. She is basically his surrogate mother as we both work long hours. She even stayed over our apartment and took care of our son while we were out of the country for two consecutive weeks. Our son got sick with croop while we were away, and she immediately knew what to do to keep his condition from worsening, and she put our mind at ease despite how far away we were. Vanessa is very self-motivated, and although she has some job offers already, she is really looking for someone that will treat her as part of their family rather than as an employee. For this, she will go above and beyond to make sure you and your child are very happy. We often ask her to stay over for dinner because she's just truly a pleasant person to have around our home, and we trust her above and beyond to care for our son. While we only have one child, she does have experience with caring for more than one child.

Gloria is a truly unique and special caregiver. There is no one like her!!! She is a professional who takes her job very seriously. When you meet Gloria, you will know exactly what I mean when you experience her love, care, trust, and heart. As soon as I heard Gloria’s voice over the phone, I knew she was the right person to care for our son who was only 4 months old at the start of her employment. Her voice radiated warmth, love, joy, and security. When we first met in person, I could feel and see right away how quickly she and my son bonded within their first five minutes of meeting. From the very beginning of Gloria’s time with our family, I have met and spent time with Gloria’s entire family, her husband, her two adult children, and grandson. Her children are just like her—warm, loving, and gentle. Witnessing Gloria firsthand with her own children and seeing how wonderful people they are gave me so much assurance as a first time mother. I only have tremendous respect and love for Gloria and feel so grateful that my son could be loved and cared for by someone so special. Gloria is like family. Gloria knows exactly what to do and will happily and willingly do whatever you ask of her regarding the care of your child or children. She is experienced with all ages. With newborns and babies she is very experienced when it comes to acid reflux, teething, introduction of foods, and developmental learning. Gloria would bring age appropriate learning toys and games to help in my son’s development. She is also very generous and not only gave our son beautiful and meaningful gifts at his birthday and the holidays but would surprise my son with age appropriate toys that matched his interest at the time. Gloria is also a professional and has a nursing and Montessori teaching background. She is extremely attentive, nurturing, and knows how to listen to the natural rhythms and needs of my son. She is structured but not rigid, which is very important to me. Gloria is very strong and active. She can easily lift car seats, strollers, and baby bags. We lived in a walk up and that was not an issue for Gloria. She is extremely timely and getting to work on time is very important to her. She is also flexible and adaptable when it comes to scheduling. It is with extreme sadness that we have to end our time with Gloria. My husband and I relocated due to a job opportunity outside of New York state. It was unexpected. It is very heartbreaking because we are all so bonded with Gloria. My son at the time was 2 and half years old. It was only a few months ago that he began saying Gloria’s name! I can say with confidence and from experience that Gloria is the right person for our family, and I know she will be the right person for your family. Although Gloria does not speak much English, she understands exactly what to do. She understands much more than she can speak. She is extremely smart and perceptive. Gloria always sent pictures of my son and their activities throughout the day so we felt connected to what they were doing. Gloria is a one of a kind, a true giver of care. She is responsible, trustworthy, creative, intelligent, and loving. I highly and without hesitation recommend her. She will become a part of your family the way she became a part of our family. I am happy to speak with you at any time if you have any questions. Please do not hesitate to call, text, or email me.

Our wonderful, previous nanny, Allison, is available for employment starting immediately. Allison joined us in 2018 when our daughter was turning 5 months old and stayed with us through the early days of the pandemic. We remain in very close touch with her and she has grown to be a treasured member of our family. She is currently looking for FT employment ideally in the BK area Monday through Friday. Below we have outlined the core aspects of her role, her key qualifications and a few qualities that make her so fantastic (we had to edit!). Her day-to-day responsibilities included: General love, care, safety for our daughter Setting up and coordinating play dates and daily activities Maintaining a routine and schedule General clean up around the house Running local errands (i.e. groceries, etc.) Preparing meals for our daughter Qualifications that make her so valuable: Experienced: Allison has over 20+ years experience in childcare with different families throughout Brooklyn. It is worth mentioning that her two previous employers moved out of the city prompting her to find a new position. They both adore her as well and told us as much when we were hiring. Knowledgeable: Allison has an extensive community of nanny colleagues throughout BK who share resources and provide opportunities for learning and socializing. What makes her unique is her ability and preference to be selective in who she spends time with and how that time is spent. Characteristics that make her so special: Kind and Calm: Her natural disposition is to be even keeled and empathetic. The only exception being when situations called for an appropriate level of protectiveness over our daughter. Reliable and Consistent: She has a strong work ethic and sense of integrity which resulted in her arriving early regularly, staying late when needed, and communicating throughout the day. Additionally, she always took the initiative to take on extra household tasks to keep our home organized and well stocked. Principled and Trustworthy: She has a strong moral compass that guides her day-to-day decision making and was unwavering in her honest communication with us. Loving and Nurturing: She has shown our family so much love and care and we all adore her. If interested, please reach out to Allison directly. I would also be happy to provide further information on her behalf.

We warmly recommend Eunice. She has been with us for the past 6 years, and her professionalism and warmth are truly outstanding. Our boys have grown, and we don’t need full time help as we used to. But Eunice remains a part of our family and it really matters to us that she finds a new family who will benefit and value her amazing skills and experience as much as we did! We are a family of 4 living in the Upper West Side, we have 2 boys born respectively in 2013 and 2016. We started to work with Eunice in January 2017, 3 months after the birth of our second son David. He was 2 month premature and it was essential for us to have someone very experienced who could be watching for any issue. Eunice came warmly recommended and it was a fantastic match! We would like to highlight that she is very experienced with infants and extremely professional. She has seen many different issues with the kids she took care of, from physical to mental health. She is very observant, and knows very well when to alert, and when to stay calm and wait. She has always been for us a real parenting partner for us as we would talk, compare notes and align on behaviors so that we would always be one aligned unit for our kids. Needless to say, Eunice is always on time, very respectful and organized. She has a very kind firmness that works beautifully with the small kids. Our sons are very close to her, confiding in her, and going to her for reassurance. And at the same time, she usually has to ask for things only once! (Believe us, that’s extraordinary!). As for her vibrancy, we used to joke that she has much more energy than both of us combined.

Experienced, on the books nanny available! Barbara has been with us for 13 years, and her prior employer for 7, which shows how highly we value her and how integral she was to making our family work. She has been with us since my oldest was a newborn, but with our kids in middle school it is time to help Barbara find a new family to work with. She has helped us raise two very different children, now 10 and thirteen, with kindness, patience, and a sense of humor. She is perhaps the most reliable person I know - I can count on one hand the number of days she was out or late and she always communicated clearly about scheduling. Most importantly, she was a person we could trust to keep our kids happy and safe. Barbara learns all of the neighborhood activities and seamlessly manages activities, school dropoffs and pickups, playdates, homework, dinner, and bedtime. She was able to transition seamlessly from the newborn to toddler and elementary school ages. She has endless energy and was always getting the kids out to the park or something fun, and would get down and play with them, read to them, and do art projects. She has become a trusted person not only for our family but our children’s friends, often pitching in when they needed afterschool or evening care. She is fully vaccinated and has always been very health and safety conscious. Her ideal placement would be a full time placement in Brooklyn or Manhattan, with a family who has younger children, so that she can grow with them. She has always been flexible regarding scheduling (including evenings or the occasional overnight as needed), which was a godsend when juggling two work schedules. She would prefer to work on the books but is open to discussing.

As a caregiver, she put them on a schedule, potty trained them and engaged them with numerous educational and fun activities. She is extremely responsible, attentive, loving, high energy and patient. My boys adore her and her previous families speak wonders about her. I have also received consistent compliments about her from other parents who have spent time with her. We are truly saddened to lose her. Christine lives in Brooklyn and is looking for full time, live-out work. We have some flexibility with the start date and hope she has the opportunity to work with a wonderful family.

Parent Reference

Hadiata is a wonderful nanny who has been working for me while my full time nanny was on extended leave. I highly recommend her. She has experience working with newborns, toddlers and preschool aged children. She previously worked for a baby from 5 months on for several months before the family left NYC. That family is also available for a reference call. Hadiata is warm, social, engaging, and respectful in every interaction with my 14 month old daughter who delights in her presence. My daughter tends to be a bit shy and Hadiata has helped her build her social skills by role modeling her friendliness with people in our building and neighborhood. Hadiata has more than 20 years of experience and excellent references. She is reliable, dependent, and trustworthy. She cleans everything thoroughly and always leaves my daughter's spaces tidy and organized. She doesn't use your/your child's time to deal with personal matters and is actively engaged with your child but also respects when they want independent play. I have found this to be excellent for my daughter's development. She quickly learned all the child friendly venues in our neighborhood and connected with other nannies with children of similar ages. My husband and I often work from home and we have found her presence to be very easy and unassuming. While our daughter is not of potty-training age yet, Hadiata did potty train both of her previous family's children before they turned 2. Hadiata is fluent in French and has taught our daughter a lot in a short time. With her permission I can share that she is also fully vaccinated. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Hadiata would be a wonderful addition to any family!
