I am pleased to recommend Claudia Arrieta for full time employment in babysitting and housekeeping. Claudia has worked for over 3,5 years with us caring for our first son who was 2 years old until he was 5 and half. She took maternity leave break and then took care of our second son from birth until he was 5 years old . She left as she was having her second child.
Claudia is fluent in Spanish and speaks English as a second language. Claudia is reliable, caring, thoughtful, and very resourceful. She was always punctual, fully present with the children, and attentive to their needs. She brought warmth, creativity, and structure to their days — organizing arts and crafts, cooking activities, playground outings, and other engaging activities . She is loving and fun, while also being firm and consistent when needed. In the kitchen, Claudia was always ready to try a new recipe, and used to cook delicious meals for the family.
Claudia is particularly skilled in:
– Supervising children and caring for their needs
– Planning, preparing and serving meals to children
– Bathing, dressing and feeding children
– Motivating children with innovative playing including arts and crafts
-Performing housekeeping duties including thorough house cleaning, cooking and shopping
Claudia has a number of strengths but her main strength – according to my observation – is her talent to motivate children. She always seemed genuinely interested in having our two sons learn and play with new things. She continuously prepared arts and crafts activities that were fun and innovative.
Claudia is very reliable, trustworthy, motivated, and able to make herself tune-up with the requirements of family and children. In summary, Claudia possesses all qualities that make a nanny successful.
I highly recommend her for a nanny position.
Our beloved nanny of more than 5.5 years will be available beginning in October as our family’s needs are changing with our daughter starting first grade. While we are excited for this next chapter, we are incredibly sad to see her go after such an important role in our lives.
She joined our family when our daughter was just six months old and has been a constant source of love, care, and support ever since. She is kind, nurturing, patient, and genuinely devoted to the children she cares for. From singing songs and reading stories when our daughter was little to being a trusted confidante and companion as she has grown, she has built a truly special bond with her. She helped her find her confidence in the park meeting new friends, standing up for herself and growing into the incredible young girl she is.
Beyond childcare, she has been a tremendous support to our entire family. She takes pride in keeping a well-organized household, whether that means helping with groceries, keeping children’s spaces tidy, organizing toys and clothes, or simply making sure things run smoothly day to day. Her warmth, positive attitude, and willingness to help have made a tremendous difference in our lives.
Most importantly, she has loved our daughter as if she were her own. Our daughter considers her one of her closest friends and an important part of her world. Few people have the opportunity to make such a lasting impact on a child’s life, and we will be forever grateful for the love, guidance, and care she has provided over the years.
We cannot recommend her highly enough to a family looking for a caring, experienced, and devoted nanny. She will be a wonderful addition to her next home.
Please feel free to reach out to her directly or contact me if you would like a personal reference.
I would highly recommend Andrea as a nanny. She was wonderful with our children—caring, patient, reliable, and very hands-on. She quickly became someone we trusted and could depend on. Andrea was great at keeping the children engaged with age-appropriate activities while maintaining their daily routines. She was also helpful with child-related tasks and always brought a warm, positive energy into our home. We would gladly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving nanny.
Wonderful Full-Time Nanny Available
Our former nanny, Latoya, is looking for a new full-time family, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Latoya was with our family for six years, starting when our oldest daughter was 2 and our second daughter was about to be born. She ultimately cared for all three of our children, including our youngest son from infancy.
Latoya is smart, kind, loving, hardworking, incredibly even-keeled, and simply an upstanding human being. She loved and cared for our children as if they were her own, and we always had 100% confidence that they were safe and well cared for with her.
She is wonderful with infants and older children alike and is very capable managing a busy household and multiple children. She cooked for the kids (and often for us!), handled their laundry, managed multiple school/activity pick-ups and drop-offs, and is extremely comfortable navigating all forms of transportation around NYC.
The only reason we parted ways is that our family’s needs shifted to part-time, while Latoya is looking for a full-time position. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our family and would be thrilled to see her find another wonderful family.
If interested, please contact Latoya directly. I am also very happy to provide a personal reference.
Our very loving nanny Carrie is available for a full time position. She took care of my 16 month old, who is transitioning to daycare. She also shuttled my 5 year old from Greenpoint to preschool in Williamsburg both directions every day, which was no easy feat. She is warm, affectionate, and patient, and kind. She was also very helpful around the house – washing dishes, tidying the kitchen, resetting the living room and kids bedroom without us ever asking her to do this! She is available to start immediately.
Yvonne was our nanny from the time our daughter was a few months old until she was 11 and she is an absolutely wonderful nanny. She is a very responsible, caring, gentle and encouraging person. I particularly appreciated how engaged she was with our daughter when at home or on regular trips to the parks, museums and around the neighborhood. She was a dream come true for our family. I frequently received compliments from other parents about how great Yvonne was with our daughter and I always felt completely secure with leaving our daughter in Yvonne’s care. We had such a great experience with her! Yvonne also has experience with newborns, including working as a baby nurse. Happy to do reference calls.
Our wonderful nanny Mel with was us for seven years and raised both our son and our daughter from the time they were born. She has experience as a baby nurse so is great and knowledgeable with infants and then was great with both of our kids until they were both in full time school. She was an incredible support to our family with two working parents until both of our kids. When they were older she took them all around the city comfortably to school and activities. She is funny, fun, kind, knowledgeable about kids, and extremely reliable and consistent.
Helping our amazing nanny find a new family 💜
Hi moms and dads! We’re helping our nanny, Ingrid (GG), find her next family as our childcare needs have changed. She is looking for a full-time nanny position (40–50 hours/week).
GG has been incredibly reliable and dependable. She was always on time, usually arriving at least 10 minutes early and waiting in the lobby. She was also very flexible with our schedule. Whenever we needed her earlier, later, or had a schedule change, she was always willing to help and never said no.
Since GG started with us, she has become so much more than her nanny. They truly became best friends. They’ve shared so many special moments together, from playing in the snow and swimming in the lake to going to playgrounds and the library and helping our daughter make new friends.
One of my favorite things was their morning hair routine before school. They would put on their favorite music, GG would do her hair while our daughter did her dolls’ hair, and when GG finished, she would look in the mirror and proudly say, “I look beautiful!” 🥹💜
GG introduced her to Disney and My Little Pony, which she is now obsessed with! Wherever they went, there was always a pony or a whole bag of them! 🦄 She also helped her learn to share and make friends. It was really hard at first, but eventually she would leave the house already planning which toys she wanted to bring for a specific friend.
GG has also been wonderful with potty training, routines, manners, and encouraging independence. She even helped us transition from using the stroller to walking, which made such a difference. We can now take the subway with her without any problems!
We are so grateful for all the love, patience, creativity, and fun GG has brought into our daughter’s life. We are sad our childcare needs have changed, but we know another family will be very lucky to have her. 💜
If you’re looking for a loving, reliable, and experienced nanny, feel free to DM me or my husband. We’d be happy to connect you with GG!
P.S. Here’s her Care.com profile with more details and reviews from other parents:https://www.care.com/p/ingridg729/cc
Julie has worked with our family for over 3 years. She started working with us when our younger son was only 2 months old, and we are only now parting ways as our son is moving into full day school and we can no longer offer full time work. Julie recently moved to New Jersey to be closer to her kids and while she commutes to us in Boerum Hill every day, she would love to have a shorter commute and would prefer to work in Brooklyn Heights, Manhattan and New Jersey.
Julie has been a calm and consistent presence in our home. She has a wonderful bond with my boys, and we have felt so lucky to have her as part of our child raising team. It has been such a weight off of us knowing that our kids are happy, safe and well cared for when they’re with her. She has been a life saver for us time and again from working over-time when we need evening care and staying overnight when my partner and I both had to be out of town, to helping us take care of kids home sick from school so my partner and I didn’t have to miss work.
Since she has been caring for our younger son from 2 months to 3.5 years, she has been crucial in helping with all of his developmental milestones, from feeding him, helping with gross motor development, potty training, and lots more. We regularly have people complimenting my son’s good manners and it’s all thanks to Julie. She encourages polite manners and has patiently and compassionately taught our younger son so many great behaviours. Everytime they come home he takes off his shoes and coat, puts them away, and washes his hands calmly and independently thanks to Julie’s encouragement and consistency. My son also has severe eczema which meant we were very strict with how we introduced foods early on as we monitored for allergies, and she followed our lead and supported us well in that process.
Julie has been working in Brooklyn for over 20 years and has built a wonderful community. A few weeks into working with us she realized a friend of hers worked with the family across the street and now the kids are best friends. She is always out of the house with my son either on play dates with the many friends she has found for him or is taking him to various playgrounds, museums, the zoo, the aquarium, our local fire station (he’s on a first name basis with all of the fire fighters), and more. I never have to come up with activities for them as she’s already planned a fun day for my son before she even arrives. Though of course whenever I set something up, I can trust they will be there ready to go on time if not 15 minutes early.
She provided full time child care for our younger son, occasional care for both kids when our older son was out of school. Julie handled school and camp pick up, took the kids to after school activities, handled lunch prep, kids laundry, general cleaning, occasional errands, and set up play dates. While she will assemble a lunch or dinner, she does not cook extensively. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Please feel free to reach out to myself or her directly if you are interested or know anyone who is.
Eve has been our nanny and a cherished member of our family for more than 2 years. She embodies all the qualities one could hope for in someone caring for your children.
She is a loving, caring, energetic and spirited person who brought an incredible sense of joy and positivity into our home. I will never forget her opening the door every day (always on time!) with a wonderful, “Good morning, good morning!”
Eve’s genuine love for children is evident in everything she does. She has cared for our son since he was 2 (he’s now 4), and for our daughter since she was four months old (she’s now almost 1), and we credit much of their development to her nurturing presence. She was always looking for new ways to excite them and teach them — whether it was buying foam alphabet letters for the bathtub, reading to them (endlessly!), or planning museum activities.
She also knows how to have fun! She consistently planned exciting adventures and educational experiences for them, fostering our son’s curiosity. She and the kids were out of the house for hours at a time, exploring parks, visiting the zoo, taking ferry rides, and trying new things. Eve found a way to make many special and memorable moments with our children.
She quickly formed strong relationships with other caregivers she met in the park and our building’s staff.
My husband and I like to go away alone together a few times a year, and we were so grateful that Eve would stay overnight at our apartment and take care of the kids while we traveled.
She’s also a certified baby nurse and CPR certified.
Eve is an outstanding caregiver, compassionate and deeply invested in the well-being of the children under her care. We are immensely grateful for her impact on our family and our children’s development. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her as part of their family.
Our wonderful nanny, Ria, will be available for a new full-time position in November. She has been with our family for 6½ years and has truly helped us raise both of our kids. We are only parting ways because our kids will now both be in elementary school and our jobs have recently gotten more flexible.
Ria is warm, smart, incredibly good with children, and hyper-organized. She is exceptionally capable: the kids are so relaxed and well behaved with her, thanks to her kind yet sturdy way of interacting with them. She gets them to eat healthy food, packs them when we go out of town, and can swiftly get them anywhere they need to be across NYC. She easily makes friends and is always organizing playdates. She also keeps our house immaculately clean, both on day-to-day housekeeping and also organizing all of their clothes and toys as they outgrow them. As the kids have started school, Ria has begun handling all of our laundry and house cleaning while the kids are out of the house. Not to mention fully planning the best birthday parties ever as an added perk (happy to share pics of her balloon creations!)
We are hoping to help her find her next family, ideally with a new baby, as she is looking to do it all again. Let me know if you want to chat!
I am looking to find our beloved nanny Esther a new family. Esther is the most loving, hard-working nanny who was with us until we moved out of the city… and before that, cared for two daughters of a friend of ours for more than 10 years. She loves to be on the go and keep the kids active. She knows her way around the city and even when she comes back from a long day out with them, never sits down. She’s always cleaning or preparing something. Esther is reliable and loyal and trustworthy and you’d be lucky to have her be a part of your family. Please get in touch and I’d love to tell you more! She is available immediately.
Sattie has been working for our family for almost 2 years – initially looking after my second son (full time) until he started preschool and then looking after my youngest (part time) from when he was 6 weeks old. My youngest has now also started preschool which is why I would love to find Sattie a new family to join who will love her as we have.
Sattie is kind, loving, generous and adores children. My middle son, who does not naturally take to most people, has loved her from the moment she entered our house and still speaks to people as if Sattie is a member of our family. Our youngest, as a baby would squeal and kick and flap excitedly as soon as he heard the doorbell in the morning. Even my oldest, who is neurodivergent, trusts her and feels safe with her.
Importantly, whenever Sattie walks in the door, it’s like a huge weight is lifted from me. She is such an amazing carer for the kids, but she also looks after me, doing little things to help out whenever she can, just to make my life a bit easier (I have 3 busy boys).
Over the time that Sattie has worked for us, she has been reliable, on time, flexible with our chaotic lives and always happy to take direction. She prepared my boys for preschool by practicing letters, and numbers, reading to them every day, doing arts and crafts and teaching them some Spanish. She has always taken them out every day to let them get fresh air and exercise and find them little friends to meet with regularly at the playground.
Sattie communicates everything clearly about my kids’ day. She is a miracle-worker at getting them to nap in the day (far better than his parents) and helped out with toilet-training my middle son. I would whole-heartedly recommend Sattie as a nannie and would be happy to answer any other questions.
Adama, our former nanny of 10 years, is warm, competent, patient, and an expert in childcare. Adama started with us when our oldest was 6 months old, and was with us for the decade that followed. Our kids are now 12, 10, and 8 (boy, girl, and girl). Adama came to us through a referral from our neighbor, and the two families she worked with before us also saw nearly a decade each with her. Before moving to the US from Senegal, Adama was an educator and school administrator. She is great with kids of all ages, but especially excellent with newborns and toddlers. Adama is endlessly patient, skilled at caring for kids, and always willing to pitch in with any needs we have around the apartment, as well as completely dependable. Adama took care of food for our kids, did our whole family’s laundry, and kept the apartment clean. She picked up and dropped off our kids at school, and brought them on playdates and to after school across the Upper East Side. Before the kids were full-time in school, Adama would seek out creative classes like gymnastics, storytime, and singalongs. She organized many playdates and thrives when leading and coordinating activities for the kids. She was always on time, if not early, and flexible to stay later into the evening or work on the weekends, as needed. We are eager to help her find her next family.
After more than six incredible years with our family, we’re looking for a wonderful new family for our nanny, Yaya. ❤️
This is honestly one of the hardest parts of our move from New York to Europe. Yaya has been with us since our middle daughter was a newborn and has become part of our family. We truly love her like a family member. If we could bring her with us, we would in a heartbeat, but she needs to stay in New York with her family.
I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She is unbelievably reliable, calm, loving, and capable. Over the years she has cared for our three daughters, managed school drop-offs and pick-ups, cooked for the family, organized birthday parties, and helped keep our household running. She somehow always made everything look effortless.
So many parents have stopped me over the years at playgrounds or activities to tell me, “Your nanny is amazing,” after watching her handle all three girls with so much patience, warmth, and confidence. It always made me smile because we already knew how lucky we were.
More than anything, we’re hoping to find a family who will value and appreciate her as much as we have. She deserves a kind family who will treat her well, because she has given our family so much love and care.
She’s looking for a full-time nanny position in the New York area, starting around early-October.
If you think your family might be a good fit, please email me at sophie.kahn@gmail.com with the subject line “Yaya Nanny.” I’ll happily make the introduction and obviously provide a glowing reference.
Wonderful, Loving & Experienced Nanny Available
Our beloved nanny, Alex, is looking for her next family after three and a half wonderful years with ours. She has cared for our two daughters since they were very young and has become such an important part of our family.
Alex is incredibly warm, caring, trustworthy, dependable, and fun, and she has a truly special ability to connect with children. Our girls absolutely adore her and are always excited to spend time with her. She is calm and attentive while also providing the structure and supervision young children need.
She is very engaged and proactive and never simply “watches” the children. She loves planning activities, taking them to the park, arranging playdates, exploring the neighborhood, and helping them build friendships. She has been wonderful for our children’s social development and has also supported their Spanish language development.
Over the past three and a half years, Alex has handled everything from preschool pickups, meals, baths and bedtime to appointments, activities, playdates, and family travel. She is excellent with both toddlers and preschoolers and has always shown wonderful judgment and independence.
She is also extremely reliable and communicative, and we have always felt completely comfortable leaving both of our children in her care.
Our need for full-time childcare is simply changing because both of our girls are now in school. If that were not the case, we would absolutely continue with Alex. We would hire her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to another family.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Alex care for our girls and know that she will be a wonderful addition to her next family. ❤️
We are delighted to recommend our nanny, Sandra Scotland to the Mommybites community. Sandra joined our family when our son was 4-months old and has been with us for a little over a year. When you hire Sandra, you are hiring more than a babysitter / nanny that will pass the time with your child, you are also getting an educator and professional partner that will consult with you about your child’s development.
With more than 25+ years of childcare experience, Sandra has experience working with newborns to pre-teens. She is comfortable working with multiple children including twins and has a strong baseline of when and how children should be meeting their development milestones. This past year, Sandra has provided valuable insight for us re: baby-led weaning, first steps, speech development, and potty training.
Sandra consistently holds herself to professional standards. She is punctual and will openly communicate with us about how the day went with our son. She respects our decision to be screen-free and does not use her phone when our son is awake. She is open to doing additional household chores that are connected to our son’s care, such as washing his dishes after his meals or folding his laundry.
While Sandra is staying with us part-time, we would love for her to find another family that she can grow with. Please directly connect with her at (347) 755-2544 or sandrascotland50@gmail.com if you believe she may be a good fit for your family.
We would love to highly recommend our wonderful nanny Allison (goes by Allie) who is now looking for a new family after being with us for the past year until our youngest kid entered pre-K.
Allie has been incredibly reliable, professional, and always punctual. She is very caring and attentive with the children, extremely responsible, and someone we have always been able to fully trust. She has many years of experience as a nanny and is very comfortable managing children’s routines and day-to-day needs. She was full-time with our youngest kid and helped us with school pick up of our 1st grader.
Allie really has taken wonderful care of our children, and we have always felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Just like we would with a real family member.
We wholeheartedly recommend Allie to any family looking for an experienced, dependable, and trustworthy nanny. She has been with several families 5+ years! Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like more information or a personal reference. You can also contact Allie by phone : 718 309 9354.

Semone looked after my son for nearly two years and she performed diligently throughout her tenure. Semone is a loving, energetic and nurturing nanny and a testament to her quality is how my son turned out under her care: Respectful, loving and kind. She was highly motivated to learn as much as she could and performed extremely well utilizing her best capabilities. She frequently devoted herself for long hours to develop lesson plans for my children and monitor their progress. Semone was flexible, reliable and quick to adapt to our rapid-fire pace. Particularly, she is very skilled in: • Supervising children and caring for their needs • She helped our newborn reached each milestone through play • Planning, preparing and serving meals for children • Bathing, dressing and feeding infants and children • Preparing formulas and changing diapers Semone has a number of strengths but her main strength – according to my observation – is her capability to motivate children. She always seemed genuinely interested in children’s mental development and presented new ways of learning that captured their attention. Safety, trust, love, reliability, and common sense are her biggest assets; parents of children in her care never need to worry if their children are safe or well taken care of in the home or outside the home when she is working. Whether feeding and bathing a baby, overseeing playdates, watching on the playground, monitoring an illness, or picking-up/dropping-off at activities, her attention is on the kids at 110%. They are her priority at all times and her eyes and ears (and heart) are never turned off. In summary, Semone possess all qualities that make a nanny successful. She is very reliable, trustworthy, motivated, and able to make herself tune-up with the requirements of family and children. Once again, I highly recommend her for a nanny position
Our amazing nanny Edrice has been with us for over 10 years, and during that time she has been integral to our family, helping raise our two babies into mature, amazing kids. Edrice has seemingly unlimited energy and has an unwavering commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our children.
Over the years she has taken our kids on countless adventures, encouraged friendships on the playground, and cared for them when they were sick. Edrice has many years of experience as a nanny with kids of all ages and is very responsible. We and our kids love her, but we have outgrown the need for a nanny. We live in the Park Slope area and her preference would be to stay in this general area if possible (Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Prospect Heights, etc., but she is flexible to work across Brooklyn). Please reach out with any questions!
