Parent Reference

Shalini has been a wonderful asset to our family since day 1. She started part-time with us when my daughter was 3 months old. She has over 15 years of experience in caring for newborns, toddlers, elementary and beyond. As first time parents, we had a hard time finding the right fit for our family - we interviewed 10+ nannies, but as soon as we spoke with Shalini we knew she would be a great fit. Shalini is calm, patient, and very knowledgable - which is exactly what we needed. She is very flexible and adapts easily to change, she was wiling to stay late if needed and also will do overnights. She is very open to discuss routines but does not over step boundaries and offers great advice. She is responsible and very organized. From day one, our LO's room/closet was always spotless and organized better than any other part of our apartment. She cares deeply for children and you can truly see that in her interactions. She is energetic, bright and would bee a wonderful asset to any family. Please contact Shalini at 845-287-1709. I am also more than happy to tell you more as well.

Valerie has been our full-time nanny for over six years. Our kids are now both in camp/school full time and we no longer need full-time care. This is sad for all of us because Valerie has been an amazing partner in raising our two kids (7 and 4) since they were infants. Valerie is the very definition of “in good hands,” and has been an ideal caretaker. She brings warmth and calm to our kids’ lives (and ours, too!). She gets down on the floor with the kids, sings and plays -- and never loses her cool. Her affection for the kids is so genuine, I know they can feel it—and they return it in kind. Valerie is a calm, unflappable, steady presence and her even-tempered vibe never seems to crack. She knows when to hover and when to let go—our kids are independent and play well on their own. She is endlessly punctual, responsible, and considerate. Also worthy of note: the Park Slope family she worked for before ours employed her for 10 years. I think that speaks to Valerie’s gifts – her reliability, her connection with kids, and her flexibility. Once she’s in your orbit, you won’t want to let her go!

Luz (Lucy) is an absolutely wonderful addition to our family. We recently relocated away from New York and miss her dearly. Lucy is very experienced with all age groups of children, she watched my now 3 year old daughter from 8 weeks until we moved as well as my newborn son from the time we brought him home from the hospital. Lucy approaches things with a very calming presence which was very welcoming to a new mom. The best way to describe Lucy is invested. She loved our children and was invested in their growth. She helped with teaching them necessary skills as well as sleep training and potty training. Lucy was wonderful with our children and also for our family. She understood the big picture of running a household and brought sanity during a very busy time. I cannot recommend Lucy enough. Lucy is currently looking to work ~4days/week preferably in Brooklyn, Queens or Long Island.

Our wonderful nanny of 3 years, Maggie, is seeking a new full-time position. She is beyond trustworthy and honest and is loved by our girls. Maggie has been caring for our 3-year-old twins full time since they were 4 months old. We will be sending them to pre-school in the fall. Maggie has worked with newborns and toddlers, but her preference is to start with newborn/baby(ies). Maggie made twins look easy. She heroically managed to get our girls outside almost every day, despite being in a second floor walkup. Through infancy, she kept to all our requested schedules by the minute and as they got older, explored parks and classes, made new playdate friends, reads to the girls, does arts & crafts, etc. Maggie occasionally babysits on evenings and weekends. She lives in Brooklyn, and is ALWAYS early. She has been incredibly safe during the pandemic and is vaccinated (vaccine information included with her permission). I can't say enough good things about Maggie and would be happy to talk to anyone who is interested

It is my pleasure to recommend Urila Weekes. 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 any family and her love and dedication for children will shine through. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Our beloved nanny of four years, Roslyn "Roz" Campbell, is available to start working for another family immediately, ideally in Brooklyn, live in or live out. Roz cared for our son since he was 2 months old, first in NYC and then in Westchester. We would've kept her forever, but our needs unfortunately changed. Roz is, hands down, the COOLEST, calmest, most caring and adaptable nanny around. She's soulful, eternally optimistic and so, so, SO...SOCIAL. We attribute Roz with our son's confidence and ability to make friends. She showed him how it's done! I called her my parental "Yoda" because she always seemed to have the answers to everything...without being judgmental or pushy. Oh, and did I mention she sings? There's constant music in the house when Roz is around! If you want your child to be well-adjusted, confident, friendly and just plain 'ole HAPPY every day: ROZ. If you want to ensure your child is safe, loved and well cared for every day: ROZ. If you want a nanny you can trust, a nanny who's never late or misses a day...a nanny who's adaptable to all situations no matter what: ROZ. Roz is extremely special to us, and we want the very best for her!

Marcy is a kind and loving caregiver. She joined our family when our son was 4 months old (he's now 4) and was with us through the birth of our daughter (now 1)--we couldn't have imagined these last few years without her. She is dependable, trustworthy, and an all-around lovely person--ask anyone in our building. From our doormen to other parents to other children, everyone loves Marcy. In fact, my son met his best friend through playdates Marcy organized with other nannies in our building. Marcy is never late, never calls in sick and almost never asks for time off. She timed her vacation with ours and was always willing to come early, stay late or come in on her day off if we needed her too. Her flexibility and reliability is something I've always valued. Marcy has an extremely calm and gentle way about her and an incredible amount of patience. Toddler tantrums and screaming babies never seem to bother her. In fact, she manages trying moments like these with grace. Marcy has always taken great care of our children and I have never once worried about their well-being when they are with her. It has given me such peace of mind knowing they are in her safe hands. When we were looking for a caregiver for our children, I wanted someone who would love my children and show them what it was like to be a good, kind person. We found this in Marcy tenfold. My daughter's big smile and reaching arms when Marcy walked through the door in the morning reminded me of that everyday. We are so sad to be saying goodbye to Marcy but are leaving NYC. If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me. We will miss Marcy very much and would love nothing more than to help her find a new family.

It is a pleasure to recommend Glenis as a caregiver. She has been caring for our daughter for the past year beginning around age 8-9 months. Glenis is reliable, warm, and energetic. She actively engages with our daughter, and I always felt at ease knowing Evelyn was under her care. Glenis has encouraged a level of independence which has enabled Evelyn to blossom into an adventurous, fun loving, social butterfly. Glenis has been able to set boundaries with our spirited toddler while also providing a safe, loving environment. She is outgoing and formed relationships with other nannies in the area, often scheduling play dates and seeking out new places to explore. She is open minded, punctual, and was very flexible with our work schedules willing to help on days she was not scheduled to work or stay late when needed. She has helped me through the many transitions of new parenthood. Our daughter absolutely adores her, and I'm eternally grateful for her guidance and support. We are parting ways due to relocation across the country and hope to help Glenis find a wonderful family.

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

Parent Reference

Nathalee has been an incredible nanny to our children for the past 6.5 years. She began with us when my son was a baby and transitioned with us to caring for two children when my daughter was born. The kids are now 6 and 4 years old and will both be in full time school in the fall. We are hoping to help her find a family who will appreciate her like we do. I have spent a lot of time with other nannies and I can say with utmost certainty that she is exceptional. After interviewing 15+ nannies in 2015, 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 nurturing person. I have had the same positive experiences with her. I will detail some of her best qualities. Nathalee is 100% reliable. In six years she has never been sick/ never called in to work. She has only taken off work VERY rarely in advance for scheduled 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. This has provided peace of mind that is invaluable for working parents. 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 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 little ones safe and happy. Nathalee is so easy to be around. She has a calm and quiet presence. I have worked from home countless days even before covid, and have lived with her 3 days/week during the pandemic. Nathalee is always even-keeled, is easy to talk to, and communicates effectively about the children; however, she is a true professional in that she lets you have space, keeps appropriate boundaries, and does not interrupt your work. Most importantly, Nathalee has the kindest heart and loves to be with children. She and my children have a wonderful relationship I could never have anticipated before we hired someone to help us. 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. She \\\"gets\\\" each of their personalities and what they need from her. She is mindful of developmental milestones and engages in appropriate play. She worked on school readiness with both of my kids. 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. I would be happy to answer any questions and share more about my experiences with her. Best of luck in your search.

Our family truly hit the jackpot the day we hired Pat to be our sons' nanny. For 5 years, we never had to worry about our boys while my husband and I worked. Pat is the most loving, kind, responsible, trustworthy, and cheerful presence. She made herself a part of our family. She cared for our boys as if they were her own, and they love her for it. Our sons were 4 years old and 5 months old when we hired her, and the only reason that she needs a new family is that we moved to an afterschool sitter when my little one headed to kindergarten, and we are heartbroken to lose her. Pat always arrives on time, with a smile and a hug for the boys. She is always completely focused on them and playing with them - I never have to worry about their safety or that they are being ignored. She's extremely friendly and social with everyone in our building, school, and neighborhood (Upper East Side) and befriends other families and sets up playdates. She keeps our apartment in order, does everyone's laundry, and cooks dinner. She makes sure my older son gets his homework done and play games and reads books with my younger son. She's amazingly flexible, always willing to stay late or come early if we need her to. She's also been flexible over the years in how she cares for our boys - making sure she changed how she cared for them as they grew. I can't count the number of times strangers have stopped me in the street to tell me how amazing our nanny is because they have seen her with my boys. Any family would be lucky to have her. I'm happy to provide any more information or you can contact Pat directly.

She is the most responsible, hardworking, loyal and decent person imaginable, and she loves children. Having been through several other nannies & babysitters before finding her, I know the immense difference it makes when you find someone you can truly trust with your children; someone who will treat and care for them in the way you would yourself care for them. Fernanda is highly experienced and very practical in every way too. She was immensely helpful with housework and other chores, and is a flexible and dependable employee.

We truly believe that her gentle, caring, positive and honest nature contributed in a super positive way to our boys' education. Anna is very social and excellent at organizing playdates. She is reliable and flexible (her 2 kids are young adults). She is happy to help out around the house as well. She became a member of our family and we recommend her without hesitation.

Barbara is an exceptional nanny and person. She came to us in the height of the pandemic, and made our lives so much easier. My youngest was just 2 weeks old at the time. Barbara was able to seamlessly jump in, creating order where needed. She not only assisted my older children (5, 8 & 13) with their newly appointed on line schooling, but also cooked dinner for my family of 6 on most evenings. Barbara, who is a former elementary school teacher was able to juggle caring for a newborn while monitoring our pre-K and 3rd grader. In fact, both children ended the school year making the honor roll! She is very engaged, always having new ways to keep them entertained and occupied, during the long stay at home days. She did light cleaning when possible. Barbara is gentle but firm, loving, and understanding. She has the know-how, and it is evident that she has done this a time or two. Barbara is punctual, and is flexible. She had no problems being available for a few occasional date nights. My family is relocating to San Antonio, TX, and this is the only reason why she is no longer with us. However, trust me if taking her with us was an option we most definitely would.

Jasmine has worked for us for the past 13 years, since my oldest was a newborn. She has been an absolute blessing to our family, caring for both our kids over the many years and providing them with a very safe, positive and enriching environment. As our kids are older (13yr old son and 10yr old daughter), and we are able to work from home more regularly, we really no longer need full-time help and would like to see her find another family that could benefit greatly from all that she offers. Jasmine is incredibly hard working, caring, knowledgeable, reliable and professional. She is very experienced with kids of all ages adapting to their needs and the situation. When our kids were babies she helped us develop a routine including getting them on a more consistent sleep and feeding schedule, which was priceless. She was also excellent with all the key areas of care (diapering, feeding, bathing, etc.), often giving me suggestions or insight in a very appropriate and respectful way. She also always sought to get the kids outside and involved in various activities – when they were little she took them to the playground, library, museums, music classes and play dates. She also engaged them in things like learning numbers, letters and reading books at various times during the day. Once they started going to school she has also been amazing at helping them with their homework – both in terms of getting them to complete it right after school (per our request) and also in the work itself as she is very intelligent and equipped to help across subjects. Jasmine also has been great at playing with the kids in their areas of interest – playing wiffleball with my son or doing art projects with my daughter. She has always supported our values in terms of prioritizing education, enrichment, responsibility and respect which is one of the many reasons she has been with us for so long in addition to the great care she provides. Jasmine also stands out for her food preparation, cleaning skills and attention to detail. She is always tidying up around the house and ensures things are in order. She does a great job with the kids laundry – she works out spots and stains and is even able to get my son’s heavily soiled baseball pants sparkling white! And then puts all the laundry away in a really organized way, setting aside items that they’ve outgrown in the process. She also does well with age-appropriate food prep, sometimes even cooking for the whole family which was great for us. Jasmine has been incredibly reliable – she is always on time and has never called in sick in 13+ years! She has always been willing to stay late and work overtime when needed including overnights. This has been really helpful as we are two working parents with demanding jobs. She also communicates well with us – she is proactive and thoughtful. She is a native English speaker and is a very good writer as well. Lastly, she knows CPR, has a clean driver’s license and is vaccinated against Covid. It is hard for us to say goodbye to Jasmine given how long she has worked for us and how strong of a connection she has with our kids. I cannot recommend her more highly and really hope she can find a wonderful family. Please feel free to contact Jasmine directly at 646-761-2164 or you can contact me for any information or questions.

Our wonderful nanny, Kerrie, will be available to work for a new family beginning 9/1. The only reason she is leaving us is because my family is relocating to Michigan (we would bring her with us if that was possible!!). Kerrie has taken care of our son, who is now 3 and a half, for over the past 2 years. Prior to working with us as a nanny, she worked in a preschool/daycare and has extensive experience with young kids, including raising 3 beautiful children of her own. Kerrie has been extremely reliable and trustworthy. She has taken great care of our son who adores her. She knows the UWS well, is constantly setting up play dates, taking Carter to book stores, music classes, museums, the zoo, playgrounds, etc. She is consistently teaching me about what’s going on in the area. In addition to external activities, she’s also great at sitting in our apartment reading books, doing arts and crafts (together with my son they have created an entire alphabet of animals that are hanging on his wall), putting on puppet plays and sings new songs. She continues to adapt as he grows and I really can’t say enough good things about our time together. In addition, she keeps our home/life running smoothly and helps by keeping our apartment neat, does our son's laundry, and cooks nearly all of his meals. I would love to help her find another great position for after we leave. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to reach out and I can put you in contact.

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 expecially 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 her 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.

I recognize that choosing a new nanny for your family is an important decision and I wholeheartedly recommend Lorraine. She is a nanny with more than 20 years of experience. Lorraine joined our family when our son was 3 months old, was there for the birth of our daughter, and has been an important part of our family ever since. When our children were very young, Lorraine established a comforting routine for them and taught them how to be responsible and independent. She established a network of nannies in the neighborhood with kids the same age, which led to new friendships. She organized play dates and took our children to the playground. She proposed music and gym classes in the area and always got them to classes on time. When I left for work each day, I was confident that my children would be safe, happy and well cared for. As our children have grown older through these many years, Lorraine has developed a bond with them and earned their love and trust. She picked them up from school every day, made countless trips to sports practices and other appointments. She took on more responsibilities like errands, cooking and cleaning for the whole family, always ready to do anything we asked. She has been very flexible, adapting her hours and schedule sometimes at a moment’s notice. Lorraine is responsible, professional and trustworthy. She is patient, calm and fun. Most importantly, she cares for our children like her own. We wish Lorraine could be our nanny forever, but now our children have grown older and our childcare needs have changed. But I have no doubt she will continue to be a part our lives. I would love for Lorraine to join a great new family who would be fortunate to have her to care for their child/children. She has plenty of energy for babies and toddlers, and the knowledge of how to care for them well. Please contact Lorraine directly at (347) 683-3343 if you would like to learn how wonderful she is. I would also be happy to tell you more about her.

Mimi is an incredible Nanny, she is gifted at knowing and understanding the needs of all children of any age. She has worked for me since my son was 8 weeks old and has been with us for almost 14 years!. She is trustworthy, loyal and truly cares about the children and their needs. My son had special needs and developmental delays but recently graduated from a normal private school, a part of that credit goes to Mimi who was phenomenal as an advocate for him particularly during his younger years. She also has helped raise my 10 year old daughter and during a time when I was traveling heavily for work she really stepped in, ensuring that there was a positive maternal figure available to my children. She also drives and is a careful and considerate driver who has never had an accident. Mimi has energy to play with the kids, supervise arts and craft activities, help with basic homework as well as facilitate any other key activities or ideas needed for your kids. She is also fully vaccinated against COVID and has previously completed a certified nursing assistant course and keeps her CPR training up to date. During our time living in NYC (first 6 years of working for us) Mimi also volunteered regularly at the burn unit in NY presbyterian hospital. Prior to working for us Mimi had a continuous work history with no interruptions and extremely positive references.

Yana is an extremely caring and capable caregiver who has extensive background in caring for multiple children -- especially twins. 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 and 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.

Our needs have changed and our wonderful nanny of 2 years is now available to join a new family. Vashni joined us with our second daughter was 2+ years old and our oldest was 5 years old. She has taken care of our two girls as her own. To name a few feats, she potty trained our youngest, remote schooled Pre-K, K and 1st grades, watched two active children at once, managed different daily pick-up drop off schedules at different locations, made sure they ate healthy snacks/foods, took them to lots of fun field trips via the subway, and was just wonderfully carefree/playful with them. Vashni’s strengths include her patience (especially in handling a toddler), her warmheartedness, ability to play with young children, being reliable/trustworthy/punctual, openness to a parent’s suggestion/request and flexibility. Vashni is in amazing shape and can chase down any toddler for hours. With two young children home schooling and two working parents at home, Vashni was a treasure to have in a small apartment. Vashni has more than 12+ years of experience caring for children between the ages of 6 weeks to 12 years old in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Vashni also attended college, studying Biology. Vashni is fully vaccinated and was extremely careful throughout the pandemic. She is also comfortable with dogs.

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, 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 more adventurous 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 now following separation due to Covid) says it all. Irene has been very cautious throughout the last year, and will follow any Covid precautions your family is taking. She is available immediately.

Parent Reference

Keita is the nanny you want to snatch up! It was serendipitous the day we found our nanny. Our doorman told me, "you have to grab Keita. She is the best and her family is moving to Philly. She will be needing a new job soon". It was so easy and I never looked back. Keita was with us for about 6 years, starting 3 months after my older son was born. As new parents, she was perfect for us. Her confidence and delicacy with which she took care of our newborn was reassuring and mind-blowing to us. She really showed us the way. She home made all his first foods - all the purées. She is a great cook! Like any parent, I hated going back to work and leaving my child at that age. She sent me pictures every day of my smiling, happy boy. The bonus with Keita - she speaks French. We asked her to only speak to our kids in French so they would get that added benefit. She loves the idea that she can help teach a native English speaking child French. I went out and got French books and it was great having that added influence. I loved to hear my little one say "sil vous plait"! On this note, I suggest if you are interested in speaking with Keita and doing an informal screening interview over the phone first you will miss out on getting to know Keita. Her strong suit is her personality which, with the language barrier of her accent and that she’s not a native English speaker, things definitely get lost in translation over the phone. You must meet her to know how wonderful she is. Please interview in person to get the true Keita! One of my biggest nanny pet peeves- I HATE when I see nannies walking their child with headphones on- or gabbing on the phone. You would never see Keita doing this. She doesn't watch tv - and so the tv was never on in our home while she was taking care of our 2 kids. She engaged all the time and her #1 priority is focusing on our kids and making sure they are happy. She has so much love and care in her heart; you can rest assured your children will be loved and cared for as close to a parent's love as possible. When the kids were playing off by themselves or napping she looked for ways to be helpful to the family. She really went above and beyond. She has an incredible work ethic. She is very social and makes connections with other nannies at the playground with ease. She helped our children make friends with other kids at the playground and planned playdates often and easily (I gave her permission to do this!). During classes she would get on the floor with our kids and particpate in the 'mommy and me' classes as though my children were her own. My kids took karate classes and I received the most amazing email from the receptionist there- out of no where - at the time. I have to share an excerpt from it it to exemplify what is so special about her: "I am taking a chance to offer some unsolicited opinion. I do not do this often. In fact, this is the second time. So here goes...I have had a few occasions to observe [S] and [J's] child care provider (babysitter) thus far. I don't recall her name. I have to say she is so good with your children. Her smile of pride and approval for their accomplishments here is beautiful...Trust me, I see nannies that are not attentive to their children. Good choice in hiring her". This was not the first time I had been told how wonderful Keita was by random people over the years. She is extremely trustworthy. I can say without a doubt she would never lie- never do anything that wasn't honest. She has very high moral standards. When we hired her to work with us on the Upper West Side we told her we were planning a move to Brooklyn within the year. She told us "as hard as it is to find a good nanny, it's hard to find a good family." I will go with you. She traveled from the Bronx to Brooklyn, getting to us by 8am, every week for over 4 years. Keita had had 2 prior nanny experiences and those references were also excellent. She's been doing this job now for nearly 26 years. We continue to use Keita as our babysitter when we need. Win-win. Our kids are SO excited to be with her. She is like a second mom to them. And she continues to be as awesome as she was when she worked for us full-time. Keita is scheduled to receive her second Covid vaccination shot Friday, 7/1. If you are interested in speaking further about Keita please do not hesitate to contact me off-line, 917-363-2154 or [email protected]

I'm posting to help our part-time nanny Normie find full-time work. She's a warm, loving, dependable, and experienced nanny who we love. Normie started working with our family part-time during the pandemic when our previous nanny was having trouble coming in 5 days a week. Normie then worked with us full-time for the past 4 months while our other nanny took a leave. She is an amazing and loving caretaker with 10+ years of experience caring for children. She started taking care of our son B when he was less than two and he immediately fell in love with her. She cares for him like she would care for her own child or grandchild, and takes pride in getting our picky eater to eat a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A few months after she started working with us, our daughter E was born. Normie has been taking care of both of them by herself for the past 3 months after I returned to work for maternity leave. She is unflappable in caring for both of our children, and it has made returning to work much easier knowing that I don't have to worry about my children when they are under her care. Both B and E love Normie. She is an amazing nanny and we feel so fortunate to have found her. I can't recommend her more highly. In addition to being a wonderful caregiver to our children, she is always timely (usually early!), dependable, respectful, and is a good communicator who is responsive to our direction. Any family would be lucky to have her.

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 fully vaccinated, and is lightly supporting us now, but understandably wants to have a deeper level of engagement, 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 across the city/boroughs. She is extremely safe and conscientious about COVID, masking (even though she is fully vaccinated), 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.

Our lovely, amazing nanny, Priscilla, is available since our almost-4-year-old daughter, E, will be going to pre-K full time. Priscilla has been working with us since 2017 when E was ten weeks old. The first time she came to visit, our colicky little constant crier fell asleep in her arms. It was a small miracle. Of course, I could write a novel of great anecdotes about Priscilla, but instead, here are some key highlights about her as a nanny: 1. Priscilla is unflappable, flexible, reliable, warm, loving, self-motivated, hard-working, good-humored, a baby-whisperer. 2. Priscilla has created a truly special bond with our daughter. She understands her moods, anticipates her needs, makes every day fun and engaging, and models grace under pressure, levity, and positive social interactions. 3. Priscilla does so much! She cleans our home (better than I do!), cooks and meal preps for E, does laundry, arranges play-dates, and takes E to museums, the zoo, music/dance classes, parks, story-time, etc.; just overall gets it. She makes it so that I never worry about E during the workday and come home to a more serene home than I left. 4. Because of Priscilla, E has close friends whom she loves and sees regularly. Priscilla has reinforced E’s manners and social skills, taught her ABCs, to count, and been instrumental in potty training. 5. Priscilla is just the best, most competent nanny. She just gets it! We are going to miss her terribly, and hope that she finds a position with an amazing family.

Latoya is extremely reliable (never late once in 3 years) and has done a fantastic job taking care of our two children during these extremely important years of their lives.

Sunita is not only a fabulous nanny, she is a fabulous addition to your home. We first met Sunita when our oldest was 6 weeks old and she stayed with us for years, adapting her style as they grew older. She draws on her professional experience and also on her experience as a mom of two successful adult children of her own. She has boundless energy, a quick laugh and an attractiveness to her personality that people are drawn to. Sunita’s professional skills are second to none. She handled every baby and child situation and taught us what we didn’t know. She is never late (to anything!) and is 100% reliable, and very flexible, even for last minute requests. Sunita exudes confidence and good judgment, which was critical to our relationship. I was a full time working mother and I quickly came to the conclusion that for my life to work, I needed to empower our nanny to make decisions. I wanted the children to be active and social, so I needed someone who I could trust and not need to check in every time plans were made. The friends Sunita made herself and for our children, in multiple cases, introduced us to families with whom we are life-long friends. I literally never once, not one time, felt uncomfortable with a decision Sunita made regarding how she handled our children. And she made thousands of decisions from when they were newborns through school age. I’ve continued to rely on her for advice during the teenage years. Of almost equal importance, Sunita exudes a warmth not only with the children but with our whole family. Grandparents on both sides know her well and are very fond of her. To this day, my kids sometimes need a “Sunita chat”. She just folds into situations very easily and has a lot of love to give. I’m so happy for the next family who will work with Sunita—both your family and Sunita will be starting a wonderful relationship.

We are posting a recommendation for our wonderful nanny of six years, Gabi. Gabi is the most caring, kind, hardworking, immaculate and reliable nanny but with both of our kids in school full-time this Fall we are helping her find a great full-time job in the Brooklyn/Manhattan area, and think her next family will be lucky to have her. She has been with our family for 6 years, since my daughter was 3 months old, and we could not have made it through that time without her. Here are a few of the things we love. - 100% reliable: Gabi is always right on time, rarely takes sick days, can be trusted to make sure the kids make it to all their activities on time, and always has all of their things organized and packed. In addition, she is completely honest and trustworthy. She is a true professional and when you ask Gabi to do something, you know it will get done. Great balance of kindness and firmness: She has a great sense of humor (and can have the kids hysterically laughing) while also knowing when to be stern and help them learn from their mistakes. Our kids have loved spending time with her and run to give her hugs and kisses when she leaves at the end of the day. Gabi is an animal lover, she is active and can keep up with incredibly high energy kids (as our daughter has proven to be). And it’s not just us, we have been told by multiple parents and teachers that she is wonderful with the kids when we aren’t there which is one of the reasons, she has been a part of our family for so long. - Great communication: Gabi is college educated; she is a clear and frequent communicator and is good at keeping us informed of everything that’s happening during the day. Even when the inevitable bad things happen (kids fall and hurt themselves on the playground), she tells us right away. -Tidiness: Our apartment looks immaculate at the end of every day. Toys are picked up, beds are made, kids' clothing is cleaned and put away, backpacks are emptied, stroller is clean, etc.

It is my pleasure to write in support of Amy Bagayoko as she seeks employment with another family. Amy has been with us for one year. The reason she needs to find a new family is that we are transitioning our two year old to daycare and no longer need a full time nanny. Amy is interested in a full time position. Amy cares for my three active children, now ages eight, five and two years old as if they are her own. They love her. At the end of each day my two year old is sad to see her go. Her responsibilities include preparing meals, bathing and dressing the children, doing their laundry, cleaning up after them and making sure their rooms are tidy. She is responsible for collecting my older son and daughter from school/camps and planning playdates. Amy is responsible, energetic, a team-player and a hard worker. She takes pride in seeing things clean and in order and takes initiative in doing things around the house. She loves being outdoors and taking my children to the playground. My youngest son is very active and Amy is extremely attentive to and was able to keep up with him indoors and outdoors. She is punctual, a great multi-tasker, loving, thoughtful and social. She is the sole reason my 2 year old has age appropriate friends in the neighborhood and regular playdates. My husband and I both work full time and are very busy. We appreciate how flexible Amy is- always willing to come a little earlier or stay a little bit later on short notice Amy has over 10 years experience as a nanny and was highly recommended to us from her previous employers who she was with for over four years. The children from that family still call her regularly and she visits them when she can. Any family will be lucky to have her! Please reach out to her at 347-307-0706 if you are interested.

My wonderful nanny Sue (Susie to our son) is available to start working starting mid July. She is looking for a full time job. Sue was employed as a nanny for my two children from February 2020 until June 2021. During that time, she demonstrated that she is a consummate professional: hard working, responsible, caring and compassionate. She’s also a wonderful person – always coming to work in a cheerful mood with a smile on her face. Sue always performed her job responsibilities at the highest level. She was in charge of cooking and meal preparation, feeding our children, washing their dishes, bathing them, doing their laundry, organizing their clothes, putting away their toys and books, taking them to parks/playgrounds, picking our son up from preschool and arranging playdates. Most importantly, we she created a safe environment to foster the growth and development of our children. Sue and I talked several times about the differences between a babysitter and a nanny. She wasn’t just there to supervise our kids – she understood that her role was to help raise them and she took that responsibility seriously. She was proud to nurture, teach and sometimes even discipline them. Before our son started preschool, she had taught him letters, numbers, colors, foods and more in both English and Spanish. His knowledge is very advanced for his age and I attribute that largely to Sue’s efforts. She also takes great pride in her work – she voluntarily took classes and obtained certifications on her own time so that she’d be informed of the latest childcare guidance. Sue regularly goes above and beyond what is expected of her. She would often take my son to parks and playgrounds that required 30 minute walks when there were other parks within a shorter distance just to give him a change of scenery and sense of adventure. At the playground, many of the other children would flock to her as she danced and played with our son because of her positive energy and warm demeanor. Sue is a talented photographer and we always received tons of amazing pictures of our kids throughout the day. While on maternity leave with my newborn daughter, Sue would offer to take care of the baby during her lunch break so that I could relax even though we had agreed that Sue wouldn’t be responsible for the baby until after I returned to work. Sue was only responsible for cleaning the children’s dishes, but she’d clean mine too if I left some dirty ones in the sink. And Sue was always so thoughtful and generous on holidays and birthday, even remembering to bring a toy for our dog on his birthday. We dealt with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic together and Sue was always flexible with changes to her schedule and job responsibilities. In particular, I’m sure it must have been challenging to have my husband and I constantly around since we spent many days working from home. Sue handled this transition extremely well. Our entire family is devastated that we’re no longer able to employ Sue. The only reason that we let her go was because our needs have changed and Sue’s schedule doesn’t match up with our new requirements. I am supremely confident that she will be an incredible employee for any family, company or organization that chooses to hire her next. Please feel free to reach out to her directly at 347-445-0100 but I am happy to answer any questions as well!
