Manhattan Nannies

We recently relocated out of state and sadly had to leave our nanny, Kaysher, behind. She was with us for over 3 years and is incredibly loving, attentive, and reliable. She treated our girls (ages 4 and 2) like family. She has fantastic instincts, and I trust her judgment 100%, but at the same time she is excellent at following very specific instructions when I provide them (like with baby feeding and sleep schedule). Moms who see her at classes and the playground go out of their way to tell me how wonderful she is. I can’t recommend Kaysher enough, and it pains me that she couldn’t join us when we moved! She is looking for full-time work starting ASAP.

Dear family , Waveeta has worked for us over the years full time and a few years part time. She is simple and the most exceptional child caregiver we’ve ever had. We are looking to place Waveeta with the perfect family as a full time nanny. Her ability to relate to and engage children is magical. Her ability to capture their attention and mitigate meltdowns and “it’s not fair” moments with intelligence, kindness, fairness and unwavering patience is beyond impressive. Waveeta can multi-task better than most professional I’ve worked with. Whether picking up or dropping off my daughter at school, after school, or play dates, creative art projects and even prepare incredible healthy and delicious meals. She keeps our family and home running incredible smoothly and has made such a positive impact on all our lives. She is truly a gift. Waveeta was born to work with children. I interviewed over 10 nannies and Waveeta was the only one to get down on the floor and actively play with the baby. She is incredible, respectful, honest, polite and has a great sense of humor. We know the next family to employ her will quickly see how having Waveeta in their lives will have such a positive impact.Please feel free to contact me anytime at 3479904330. Akash Singh.

Ps Waveeta is currently working with us on Fridays and Saturdays and we would love to keep her on but willing to let her decide what’s best for her, we have placed waveeta with a new born in Brooklyn hights area as a full time nanny for two years, Unfortunately that family just moved recently and she currently with us working as our daughter loves her. We are focusing on a Monday -Thursday any hours but she’s flexible as well.

🌟 Incredible Nanny With 16 Years of Experience Available 🌟

I’m so happy to share a truly heartfelt recommendation for our nanny, who has been nothing short of amazing for our family. With 16 years of childcare experience, she brings a level of professionalism, warmth, and intuition that is rare to find.

She is the only reason I was able to return to work when my baby was just 3 months old. That was such an emotional and difficult time for me, but she made it so much easier. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and every time I walked in after work, I could see that my infant was happy, thriving, and genuinely loved. He was always living his best little life with her.

She’s also incredible with my older kids (9 and 13). She connects beautifully with every age—infants, toddlers, school-aged kids, teens. I actually met her when she was caring for a toddler, so I’ve seen her work her magic across multiple stages of childhood.

Some of the things that make her exceptional:

✨ Thoughtful planning – She created daily routines that worked perfectly for the kids and for me.
✨ Organized & dependable – Always punctual, always prepared, always reliable.
✨ Social and developmental support – She planned playdates, kept the kids engaged with age-appropriate activities, and handled all extracurricular drop-offs and pick-ups without missing a beat.
✨ Values & manners – She is very intentional about teaching respect, kindness, and good manners, which I truly appreciated.
✨ Truly nurturing – She treats children with patience, love, and genuine care.

If you are looking for a super nanny—someone who is great with infants, toddlers, older kids, all ages—you can stop searching. You’ve found her.

Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. I’m happy to answer any questions or share more.

We are pleased to provide a reference for Alma P. Rocha, our exceptional full-time live-out nanny. We began working with Alma when our son was 10 months old; he is now almost 4.5 years old.

Alma is a kind, compassionate, and patient caregiver who has been a deeply positive presence in our son’s life and in our family more broadly. She is a source of comfort, joy, support, and love for our son, and has played an important role in his social and cognitive development. Before he started Pre-K in September 2025, Alma thoughtfully arranged playdates, ensured he had a healthy balance of indoor and outdoor activities, and regularly took him to the playground, the Children’s Museum, and the American Museum of Natural History. She was also an active participant in his daily gym classes at Elliott’s. Alma encouraged our son’s creativity by helping him take pride in his artwork and by joining him to color, cut, and create–she is a talented artist herself.

Alma was the primary person guiding our son through potty learning, beginning just before he turned two. She approached this milestone with patience and consistency, maintaining open communication, never rushing him, and handling the inevitable accidents with grace (and plenty of laundry along the way).

After he started Pre-K, Alma picked him up from school and regularly gathered with other nannies and children from his class at the playground or local museums. She also maintained connections with parents and caregivers of his friends outside of school so he could continue seeing familiar faces. In addition, she took him to a local jiu-jitsu class three days a week.

Alma is attentive, respectful of our son’s feelings and needs, and deeply attuned to his well-being. When he is under the weather, she administers medication as instructed, follows directions carefully, asks thoughtful questions, and always keeps us informed if anything seems off or if he has had a challenging day. Alma has also been consistently flexible and dependable, willingly coming in early, staying late when needed, and providing babysitting support in the evenings, which has been invaluable to our family.

Mid last year, we welcomed a baby girl and Alma began helping care for her part-time. Alma supported her early development through mobility and midline coordination exercises, played music for her, ensured she napped well, and fed her breastmilk when I was not available to nurse. When weather permitted, she took her to the playground to enjoy the swings.

Alma regularly prepares our son’s meals, including making him eggs for breakfast and thoughtfully preparing his snacks and lunches each day. Around the house, Alma makes his bed, tidies his room, and helps keep our living room, kitchen, and dining areas organized. She loads and unloads the dishwasher; handles the children’s laundry, and vacuums. Alma will kindly fold my laundry if it’s left in the dryer and I haven’t had a chance to get to it.

Alma speaks and reads to our son in Spanish, which has been incredibly beneficial to his language development. He is already very proficient in Spanish, which is remarkable at his age.

Alma prioritizes ongoing childcare training and professional development, with a focus on RIE methods, which we greatly appreciate. She respects a child’s independence and autonomy, and as a result, he has complete trust in her. Alma has a wonderful ability to calm and uplift our son when he is upset or frustrated–through a favorite book, toy, or gentle distraction. She occasionally surprises him with a small gift or museum trinket, and after holidays or long breaks, she often arrives with balloons or flowers. We especially cherish the photos Alma sends each evening, giving us a window into our son’s enriching, joyful days.

Alma is knowledgeable, warm, and energetic, and she has been invaluable to our family. We are deeply grateful for the role she has played in our son’s development and for the loving care she has provided to our daughter. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

Kaysher is a trustworthy and loving nanny seeking a full-time, 40 hour per week minimum, long term nanny family as soon as possible. We hired Kaysher following a recent posting here on mommybites; we knew immediately we were lucky to meet her. We instantly knew she was a blessing to our family, and especially to our 4 month old (who smiled and laughed when they met). We hired her on the spot. Sadly we are parting ways simply because I’ve realized I need part-time support rather than full-time. Kaysher is a jubilant, calming, and confident force. She treats our infant as family. Kaysher easily and quickly helped us create a consistent nap schedule, which was hard for me because our infant fights sleep. She plays on the mat at baby’s level throughout the day, takes baby to the playground, brings baby to library storytime, sends pictures when they are out and about, and most importantly keeps baby happy. It’s a blessing postpartum to feel relieved my baby is safe and in great hands as I re-enter work life. I can’t recommend Kaysher enough. We are so sad to lose her, and want to support her in finding a wonderful fit.

Pearl worked with my family for five years; she is one of the most extraordinary women I have ever met. She was always on time, loved my son as her own, never missed a day, cleaned up after us even though I didn’t ask her to, kept my son calm and happy, kept me calm and happy, traveled the world with us, and became an essential part of our family. She still babysits for us often, and my son still adores her and giggles and bounces when she arrives.

We only parted ways because my son started kindergarten and we no longer needed the hours, but we remain close and I would like to help her find a new job. She is currently working with a family (she’s been with them for two years) but they have not given her a paid sick day or a paid vacation day in that whole time and she deserves better.

Pearl has been a nanny for decades; she came to us with exemplary references. She began with us when our son was four months. She is infinitely loving and I never worried for a minute when I went back to work. She never uses her phone while she’s working, which I gather is rare. She turned everything into a game with our son, from meals to laundry time. He was always wildly happy to see her (and still is). I cannot recommend her more highly – her work ethic is incredible and her warmth irresistible. Her next family will be extremely lucky to have her.

My nanny is truly wonderful, loving, patient, and deeply caring. She has a gentle nature and a warm heart, and she always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel safe, happy, and supported. Her dedication, kindness and positive spirit make a meaningful difference every day, and we are incredibly grateful for her.

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. We will be moving soon 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. The 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 son for preschool by practicing letters, and numbers, reading to him every day, doing arts and crafts and teaching him some Spanish. She speaks Spanish to the baby as well and reads to him every day, structuring his day around learning and fun. With both kids, 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.

We cannot recommend Andrea highly enough. She is truly incredible! Thoughtful, dependable, and endlessly helpful. From the very beginning, she quickly became part of our family, and our children are deeply attached to her. She is wonderful with the kids: attentive, loving, patient, and genuinely invested in their happiness and well-being.

Communication was always open and easy, there was never an issue or concern, and she was consistently on time and reliable. She is generous, kind, and professional in every way. If it were possible, we would keep her forever, but we recently moved and the commute has become too far. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Kiki is amazing. She has 30+ years of experience and is the kindest and most incredible nanny. We wish she would come to Philadelphia with us! Kiki is from Brazil and has lived in New York for 40 years.

She is looking for a full time role (40+ hours) with a new family. She likes to start when the children are young and help them as they grow. She is great with all stages – newborn, toddler and has even worked with two children until they were teens. She was with us until we moved to a new city and my sons were 21 months and 7 months old.

She prefers Manhattan as she lives in Astoria and strongly prefers to be on the books. Please reach out with any questions –

She is happy to share her resume and references.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Lucy, who worked with our family as a caregiver for our children ages 2 and 4 from April 2025 to January 2026. During this time, she became a trusted and steady presence in our home, and we feel fortunate to have had her support.

Lucy is responsible, patient, and consistently professional. She created a safe, calm, and well-structured environment for our children and approached her work with care and thoughtfulness. She supported them through daily routines, school pickups, activities, and play in a way that encouraged good habits and independence. Lucy is very social and became fast friends with the nannies from our son school and would be playdates etc.

Lucy is highly reliable and organized. She was always punctual, communicated clearly with us, and handled both everyday responsibilities and unexpected situations with good judgment. We always felt confident leaving our children in her care.

Her demeanor is warm and kind, while also being appropriately boundaried and composed. She was attentive without being overly sentimental, and she interacted with our children in a respectful, supportive way that they responded very well to.

We are transitioning to a live-in arrangement only because we are expecting our third child and our family’s needs are changing. This decision is in no way a reflection of Lucy’s performance, which has been excellent. We would gladly work with her again and recommend her without reservation to any family seeking a capable, trustworthy caregiver.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information.

We are saying goodbye to our awesome nanny, Yvonne, at the end of January. She is looking for a full-time job, preferably in the city. She is experienced with babies and big kids, flexible, loving, always early and a hard worker. Happy to answer any questions.

Elizabeth Stewart helped my husband and I raise our 3 kids from birth for over a decade. She continues to be an integral part of our family as my kids are full grown and stays connected in touch with all of us. And I’m confident all the families she’s cared for and kids who are now full grown would attest to the same. She is incredible with kids of all ages. Her routine, her approach full of love, her smarts, and warmth with a splash of dry humor meets kids (and parents 🙂 at their level. She is loving, trustworthy, loyal and endlessly dependable and also loves music and to sing kids songs. Her experience and wisdom from caring for newborns through kids’ development from nursery through middle school, her calming energy is not only inspiring with kids, it’s equally a huge support, partnership for parents through all the stages. She is myopic about keeping things in order, neat and clean kids rooms, toys, clothes, laundry and healthy meals. She likes fresh air walks, parks and playgrounds. She supports playdates and connects with other nannies with kids of the same ages at school, after school programs and playground. I could gush about her forever. Elizabeth is a special beautiful person that every family, every child should be so lucky to have in their lives.

I am recommending our nanny, Sangay, to help her find her next family.

Sangay is a complete and total gem – she has been caring for our 3.5 yr old daughter with such love and care. She came into our lives as we were potty training and having a lot of intense emotions. Sangay helped her communicate and complete potty training so effortlessly. She cares for our daughter as her own and needs no direction – she takes a lot of initiative on her own to entertain and play with our daughter, knowing what she likes and doesn’t like.

Sangay is very sweet-tempered and calm – she keeps our house feeling peaceful and puts everyone at ease. In the mornings, she jumps into activities and gets our daughter out the door to play with no fussing. Our daughter is always so happy to see her and gives her a big hug and kiss at the end of each day!

Sangay has made friends with other nannies and kids in the area allowing our daughter to have play dates and plenty of social activity.

I truly cannot recommend her enough – we have worked with a few childcare providers now, and Sangay is such a treasure. If we weren’t moving to LA, we would keep her forever! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Our amazing nanny who we worked with for two years is available full-time. She has worked with us until we outgrew the need to have a full-time nanny when my son entered school full-time.

Timea is energetic, fun, kind, loving, patient, responsible, and trustworthy. My son has bonded with her quickly, and I always hear them laughing and enjoying each other’s company. His energy is limitless, and she has no problem keeping up with him both inside and outside the house. When she needs to be, she can be firm, yet patient to teach him what is right and wrong. She openly communicates with me and is attentive to my needs and preferences, so that we are reinforcing the same things with my son. She is very personable and has made friends with other nannies and proactively arranges playdates and activities. She was also flexible with her hours and responsibilities as our needs and schedules evolved.

She has worked with several families before us with children of various ages, including infants. All the families I talked to highly recommended her, and I would also recommend her as well. She will be deeply missed, and I would be happy to talk to any families who are interested.

Sylvie was an invaluable part of our family for 13 years and truly helped us raise our four daughters. She was with us from their newborn days through their early teenage years, and her presence shaped so much of their childhood. Sylvie is incredibly reliable, loving, and kind. With both parents working outside the home, we always had complete peace of mind knowing our girls were in her care. She was consistently dependable, making sure they were fed, dressed, and where they needed to be—whether that was school, activities, or playdates.

Sylvie filled their days with fun and meaningful experiences, from walks to the playground to outings and time with friends. She always had healthy snacks waiting when they came home from school and lovingly took care of dinner, baths, and bedtime when needed. Most importantly, she loved our girls as if they were her own. They adore her and truly consider Sylvie another parent, and we will always be grateful for the care, love, and stability she brought into our family.

Amazing and highly experienced nanny available immediately!

Gale joined our family when our two daughters were 2 and 3 years old. She immediately won our girls over with her calm, kind and caring demeanor. She managed day to day activities and preschool schedules effortlessly. She is extremely organized and always on time. Gale planned playdates for the girls with ease given her warm and welcoming personality. She prepared healthy meals and always stayed on top of the girls’ laundry. Most importantly, Gale has good judgement and can be trusted wholeheartedly.

We would have held on to Gale forever if it weren’t for our daughters aging into longer days at ongoing school. Any family who has Gale as their Nanny is a lucky one!!!

Zulma took care of our daughter from six months until almost three. She developed a very good relationship with the whole family including grandparents and was wonderful with our daughter. She was also great with making friends with other nannies and kids in the building and the neighborhood so that our daughter was getting socialization. She also will speak mostly Spanish so your child which helps with bilingual skills.

We are looking to help our daughter’s nanny, Nickey, find a new position. She has been a vital part of our household, and her qualities speak for themselves:

Deeply Caring: She has a natural, warm soul that children gravitate toward.

Reliable: Always on time and extremely dependable.

Attentive: She listens carefully to instructions and carries them out perfectly.

She is a true professional with a heart of gold. Please reach out if you’d like to hear more about our experience with her.
