After 14 incredible years with our family, our beloved nanny will be moving on as our children are now older and more independent. She is now looking for a part-time position (1:00–7:00 PM) starting in October 2025.
She is honest, loyal, dependable, and has been a true partner in raising our children. She brings warmth, structure, and a calm, caring presence to any household. Please note: she is highly allergic to pets, so she is only available for pet-free homes.
We are happy to speak with any families considering her—we truly can’t recommend her enough.

THE WORLD’S BEST NANNY AVAILABLE NOW: I am writing to highly recommend my son’s former nanny Claudette. She is truly amazing. She is loving, bright, caring, assertive, and careful. This really is no exaggeration. Whoever gets to work with Claudette will have the very best caretaker and has zero to worry about. If I could have kept Claudette as my son’s nanny, I would in a heartbeat. For reference, she was with my son from when he was 5-months-old to 16-months and has continued to take care of him sometimes on evenings and weekends. I can’t express enough what a miracle she has been in his life, and mine, as a first-time parent. When I first met her through the recommendation of another nanny in the neighborhood, I didn’t know what to expect, but from day one she has been really great to work with. She’s dependable and no nonsense. She’s both extremely responsible and also fun-spirited, energetic, and wise. She puts a high value on children meeting their milestones and learning and is very interactive. Claudette has became like family to us. Through her attentive care, my son has reached all of his milestones, most of them early. At first she worked with him one-on-one on the floor and now she takes my son to different activities. She actually gets in the river with my son in the splash area for children at Brooklyn Bridge Park. She’s always so hands on and involved. She’s a mom and a young grandmother herself. As a single mom, Claudette has helped me so many times along the way with a variety of obstacles from administering medicine to all the initially perplexing behavioral changes that come with each developmental leap. I truly am so grateful to have found her. Having her care for my son was one of the best and most important things that happened in my son’s early life. I will be forever grateful for the time and effort that she put into his development. He loves her so much and smiles and gets excited when she arrives in the morning. And I know that she genuinely loves him.
Claudette is available now for a full-time nanny position in Brooklyn or Manhattan with one incredibly lucky family. She would like to work with a child in the age range from a newborn to age 2, but she said she would work with two children as well if they are both under the age of 3. She has many years of experience as a nanny (decades) and is CPR certified. I have no doubt that she would know exactly what to do in any situation. Claudette really is exceptional!
Our beloved nanny, Yaelis, who has been with us since our daughter was 6 weeks old and quickly became part of our family is looking for a new family. (My daughter is starting full time preschool mid-October)
She is bilingual (Spanish and English) and brings years of loving, steady experience with infants through toddlers—helping with everything from newborn care and sleep routines to preschool transitions. She is warm and nurturing, while also being incredibly reliable and proactive: always on time, communicates clearly, and maintains a calm, steady presence, no matter the day. (And, this says a lot, because my daughter is incredibly opinionated and high energy)!
She’s now looking for a new full-time family, ideally 30-35 hours per week in Manhattan.
She would love a schedule that starts earlier, and includes a half-day Friday (or Fridays off) though she’s flexible for the right fit/knows that’s hard to come by.
We cannot recommend her highly enough. She has truly helped shape our daughter’s early years and will bring the same care and love to another family.
Please reach out, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions and connect you.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce our wonderful nanny. She is a professional from Colombia who is not only loving, dedicated, and low-maintenance, but also incredibly attentive to every detail of our children’s care. Our kids are full of energy, and she handles them with patience, joy, and creativity—always suggesting activities that spark their imagination and encourage exploration, especially outdoors at nearby parks. She cooks delicious meals, keeps their closets organized, and is deeply invested in their development.
She is remarkably reliable, always mindful of schedules (often reminding us of things we forget), and goes above and beyond in every way. Beyond childcare, she is also available for house and pet sitting when needed.
We are truly sad to see her go, but we are committed to helping her find the best possible family—because she absolutely deserves it. She has been an incredible support for our family, and we recommend her wholeheartedly.
She will be available to start with a new family by the end of November or early August.
Our former nanny, Afyia, is looking for her next family. She cared for our daughters for 6.5 wonderful years (2009-2015). She joined us when our girls were newborns and was with us through every stage until they entered school, supporting their physical, social, and cognitive milestones.
Afyia took care of everything related to our children’s daily lives — from laundry, meals, bath and bedtime routines, to school pickups, playdates, and classes. She was always punctual, dependable, and covered the occasional date night. With experience across multiple families, infants, toddlers, and even nanny shares, she brings a wealth of knowledge and calm energy to her work.
Afyia became a part of our family and was a steady, nurturing presence to our household. We continue to recommend her all these years later and know she’ll be an incredible partner to another family. She will be available to start from October. . If interested, please contact me directly or reach out to her at (917-543-1287).
Thanks,
Lisa
(Mom to Sophie and Lilah)
Tina has been with our family for almost 2 years, starting when my daughter was just 3 months old. She has truly become a part of our family and we are sad to lose her when we move out of state in October. She is high energy clean, and reliable, and most importantly, my daughter absolutely adores her. She was with her previous family for 27 years on the UWS, and is looking for a family she can grow with. Any family would be lucky to have her!
She is looking for a role with a newborn on the UES or UWS for 45-47 hrs a week, plus has always been available for date nights and weekend nights if we needed her! A true gem!
Our former nanny Tracy is available now after our baby got off the waitlist at daycare and after a very difficult consideration, we decided to take the spot.
She is a fantastic, professional and loving caregiver, with a lot of experience with babies and children. She has worked in New York for many years – we are based in UES and she knew all the great parks, playgrounds and all things to do for a kid in any weather, and how to keep the child safe. She was very nurturing and loving to our child an they had a great time together.
She is also very good with parents and communication around the child’s needs and her best advice. She offered us a lot of flexibility with extra hours to help accommodate our demanding work schedules, and was open to coming in early, staying late.
She is looking for a full-time nanny job also open to providing backup care, babysitting, etc. while she is looking for her next full-time role.
Paula Cabrera was my children’s nanny from 2023 through part of 2025. During this time, she was responsible for the care of my three children. She was excellent in her role, consistently demonstrating professionalism and dedication.
I am more than happy to recommend Paula for a nanny position. She has been an invaluable part of our family for 2 years.
What sets Paula apart is her proactive approach and genuine love for children. She doesn’t just watch the kids; she actively engages them in fun and educational activities. She is also incredibly responsible and always puts the children’s safety first.
Beyond the day-to-day care, Paula has been a positive influence on our children, teaching them valuable life lessons and helping them develop important social skills. She is reliable, punctual, and always willing to go the extra mile. Any family would be lucky to have her.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Jill is the best nanny in the world. Our family truly feels this way.
Jill was us in Brooklyn for 6 years from 2011-2017. She has been with her current employer for the past 7.5 years. We are working together to try and find her a new loving family to join.
Jill is a total professional. I can’t remember a day she was late or had to leave early. Which is saying a lot because that the time she had two small children herself. She is warm and caring and still makes it a point to call both of my children on their birthday’s all these years later. She and my 14 year old daughter still chat from time to time just to check in.
She got both of my colicky babies on a feeding and sleeping schedule as well as potty trained. She kept them outside in the fresh air and their schedules full of playdates. Never on a screen.
Please contact myself Jaclyn JRinkCrowley@gmail.com or her current employer
lauren.kelley1@gmail.com
Thank you!
Caro is a good nanny. She is considered part of our family. She is a loving, responsible, and proactive person who can meet the children’s needs by caring for them at home. She is studying English and has taught my son many Spanish words. She oversees his meals and helps with homework and activities. She is very patient, cheerful, and communicates well with parents and children. She shows empathy toward the children and the family. She also establishes a safe and supportive environment for their development. She builds strong bonds with the children. She will always be welcome in our family.
She is very responsible and cares for them inside and outside the home, supervises activities, and plays with them.
We always prepare meals, and she is in charge of feeding them. We take walks in the park and helps with hygiene and sleep, and meets the children’s social and emotional needs. She often helped us take the children to and from school and after-school activities, and kept the playgrounds tidy. She always informs you about the children’s routines and behavior. We were always completely safe when they were in her care. She has a wealth of experience, plus she’s a mother, and her son is the most well-behaved child I’ve ever met.
Since we’re moving to a new city, we won’t be able to stay with her anymore, but we hope she finds a loving and caring family that will make her feel at home.
Jasmin is a one-of-a-kind amazing caregiver and truly the best partner two working parents could dream of.
She comes early every day to help with the morning chaos and when I come home, it’s “wind down” time, the kids are in their pajamas — and the house spotless. Between taking care of my three kids (twin girls and an older brother) to juggling various schedules to setting up a new bed, to potty training, there is really nothing Jasmin cannot do. She is always outside with the kids, whether it’s taking them to the library story hour or running around in the sprinklers at the playground. My kids run into her arms when she comes home and the love she has for them is amazing. She’s an extremely hard worker. Not only does she make all meals and snacks for three kids, do their laundry, bathe them all, trim their nails, etc. But she also finds time to organize their clothes, sort everything they’ve outgrown, etc. And when my youngest kids nap, she’s doing workbooks with my 4 year old.
Jasmin has her diploma in early childhood education and is CPR, First Aid certified and COVID vaccinated.
Jasmin is a gem and we love her so much!
Super experienced, kind, fun, active… truly the best! She was my son’s, who has profound special needs, Nanny. And I got her from a great friend who loved her as well. She really is wonderful.
Gladys is extremely attentive, professional, reliable and caring. You can clearly see the genuine love she has for our son as they have such a special bond. She sent so many pictures and videos of him throughout the day. She checks up on him over the weekends, in the evenings or when she has time off. She took him to the library, to classes and to the playground and along the way, has built a small group of friends for him. She has taught him some Spanish words and has even taught him some baby sign language. He learned and developed so much under her care it is really amazing to see.
When we were working from home, she did a great job finding ways to keep him busy, allowing us to get our work done. She’ll sing with him, read books with him and make up games to entertain him.
Our kiddo has food allergies and Gladys pays very close attention to make sure he stays safe and is comfortable treating an outbreak if necessary.
Gladys’ preferences would be a family in Manhattan with one child. No pets and a non-smoking house. She is fully covid vaccinated.
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Amanda, who has worked as a full-time nanny for our family since February 2025 and will continue until July 2025. We moved from NYC to Chicago in August to care for a family member and it is with great regret that we are unable to continue our partnership with Amanda.
Amanda cared for our daughter, Sophia, starting when she was just 7 months old. Amanda is an exceptional nanny whose warmth, experience, and intuitive care made an incredible difference during an important time in our family’s life.
One of Amanda’s many strengths is her thoughtful approach to early childhood development, especially when it came to introducing solids. She did a wonderful job gently and enthusiastically guiding Sophia through this important stage—offering a wide variety of homemade fruits, vegetables, and balanced meals. Her creativity and care made mealtimes enjoyable and stress-free, and we were consistently impressed by her knowledge and patience throughout the process.
Amanda also brought joy and social enrichment to Sophia’s days. She knows the area extremely well and always had a plan for fun, age-appropriate outings—from daily swings at the park to trips to the butterfly exhibit and the Central Park Zoo. Amanda also created meaningful play experiences at home, like dyeing Easter eggs and introducing age-appropriate toys that supported Sophia’s development. Thanks to her, Sophia had a rich blend of learning, exploration, and social interaction.
When Sophia experienced her first illness—a fever and cold—we were naturally nervous as first-time parents. Amanda guided us through it with calm and confidence. She knew exactly which products to buy, how to soothe and comfort Sophia, and when to escalate if necessary. Her support and clear judgment during that time were invaluable and deeply reassuring.
Most importantly, Amanda fosters a loving and joyful environment. From day one, she formed a genuine bond with Sophia. Our home was filled with music, laughter, and warmth, and it was always clear how happy and secure Sophia felt in her presence. Watching Sophia light up when Amanda walked through the door was a daily reminder of the love and trust they shared.
We are so grateful for the time Amanda spent with our family. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their child’s life, and I give her my highest recommendation without reservation.

Our former nanny is looking for a full-time position.
She is always a few minutes early, never late, and flexible. She is energetic, attentive, and fully focused on the child in her care. She keeps the day active and fun, constantly finding engaging things to do.
She takes initiative, handles baby laundry, keeps the apartment tidy after play, and loves to cook. She’s also great at keeping us updated throughout the day, often sending photos and notes about what they’re doing.
She’s well-liked in the nanny community and regularly organized playdates. Our child met some of their best neighborhood friends because of her.
Our wonderful, previous nanny, Allison, is available for employment starting immediately.
Allison served as a steadfast caretaker for our daughter for almost 2 years before we relocated, and remains a close and treasured member of our chosen family.
Some of the things we love and value about Allison:
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.
It is also worth noting that Allison has over 25+ years experience in childcare with different families throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan and has built a vast network of resources that she draws from on a day-to-day basis. From classes to playgrounds to play dates, she is well versed in how to tap into the best options across neighborhoods to create fun and enriching experiences for her kids.
For the past 8 years, we have been incredibly fortunately for have Faye as a part of our family from the time our kids were very young (5 and 2 years). She not only cared for our 2 boys but truly helped raise them into kind and thoughtful young people. She is a safe driver and we were never worried when she took the kids to various appointments or sports practices. In addition to caring for our kids, she also helped with housekeeping. She takes a lot of initiative and many a times cleaned and organized parts of our household before I even got a chance to mention it. What sets Fate apart is her kindness and integrity. She treated our children as if they were her own, and in return, our entire family has come to love her dearly. Over the years, she has become so much more than a nanny to us; she has become family. Unfortunately we were not able to work together more due as our family relocated to a different state. Any family who gets the opportunity to welcome her into their lives will be lucky!
Allison was our daughter’s nanny for over two years. She is kind, gentle, warm, and most importantly, trustworthy. She has years of experience taking care of babies and children, however, she never made me (as a new mom) feel judged or inferior, even during the most trying times. She only sought to help and support us as a family. She is extremely honest and trustworthy and I always knew my daughter would be safe and well taken care of in her presence. She is a hard worker and goes above and beyond. She took on many household chores without being asked to do so. She regularly did laundry, cooking, cleaning for my daughter and even sometimes for the household. She traveled with us a number of times domestically and it was always a positive experience. She is kind-hearted and caring and has truly become part of our family.
AMAZING NANNY AVAILABLE
Tasi was with us since my daughter was 6mos (she’s now 3.5). She is in her mid 50s and very active! She is loving, attentive, playful. She was never on her phone around my daughter. She cooked fresh meals 3x a day, cares about what friends are a good fit for playdates, and paid attention to my daughter’s interests. She also helped around the house during nap time (light tidying etc.). Tasi has helped my daughter become a confident, highly verbal, and polite toddler. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! I’m hoping to find her a new employer that will appreciate how committed a caregiver she is. Tasi can be contacted on +1 (646) 961-9714. I can be contacted for a reference on (Nisa: 612 323 2486).
