Manhattan Nannies

Our amazing nanny, who has been with us for over a year since our son was 5 months old, is looking for a new family to join as soon as possible. She was recently set to start with another family who pulled out at the last minute, so she’s available right away.

She is truly wonderful — warm, nurturing, and incredibly reliable. Our son absolutely adores her. She’s also extremely punctual — she arrives at our home every day at 6:45 a.m. without fail — and brings such a calm, positive energy to our mornings. On top of caring for our son, she helps with cooking and light cleaning, which makes a huge difference in keeping our home running smoothly.

We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our family and can’t recommend her highly enough. Any family would be so fortunate to have her!

Avis was with our family for the last 5 years. She worked with our family and helped us take care of our newborn up to this point. My husband and I are relocating the reason why she is looking for a new opportunity. She is kind, patient and caring, Avis takes care of our kids as if she is taking care of her own kids, which she has raised 2 kids of her own and helped her daughter raise 2 grandkids. Avis takes it seriously how she treats the kids, she reads with the kids and takes them to the park. Avis was a good addition to our family and will be a great addition to your family also.

Since early September 2024, Crystal has been taking care of our two daughters who are 2 and 5 years old. During the school year Crystal was with our younger daughter for most of the day but would also pick up our older daughter from Pre-K and spend a few hours with both of them everyday. Although Crystal has been with us only a year, it feels like longer because she has become a part of our family.

Crystal has a background in early childhood education and is a caring, responsible caregiver to our daughters. She takes our younger daughter on outings every day to places like children’s museums, storytime at local libraries, neighborhood parks, and playgrounds. She’s introduced our 2 year old to interactive exhibits, supported her interest in animals and nature at the zoo and botanical gardens, and takes her to music class and the library to help with her language and motor development. Crystal is always on time, rarely takes a day off, and is a trusted part of our family life.

She is available to begin with a new family immediately and I encourage anyone looking for a responsible, caring, reliable, and experienced nanny to reach out to her!

I’m writing to share news about the most incredible nanny who will be looking for a new family beginning January 2026. Sabrina has been with us since my son came home from the NICU in 2020, and she has truly become a member of our family.

During those early, overwhelming days, Sabrina didn’t just help us—she saved us. I often tell people that Sabrina has renewed my faith in humanity. She’s a constant reminder that there are genuinely amazing, loving people in this world, and it has been an absolute privilege to have her help raise my boys.
We always knew we’d eventually need to part ways when we moved to the suburbs for my work commute. But watching the incredible bond Sabrina formed with our son, and then his younger brother, motivated us to stay in the city longer than planned. We simply couldn’t imagine separating them.

Sabrina is everything you could want in a caregiver: punctual, responsible, generous, and genuinely passionate about working with children. She loves to play and constantly creates fun, enriching activities for the boys. Her social skills are remarkable—she organizes playdates and has helped my children make friends throughout our neighborhood.

The testament to Sabrina’s character? When I mention to anyone that we’re moving, the first question is always “Do the boys know about Sabrina?” Without my even asking, people volunteer to serve as references and sing her praises.
Beyond being an exceptional caregiver, Sabrina is simply a wonderful person and incredibly hard worker. She plans nutritious meals, and during any downtime, she helps around the house. Despite managing two energetic boys, our apartment is always clean and organized. Whenever we’ve needed last-minute help, she’s available without hesitation.

If I could take Sabrina with us, I would in a heartbeat. However, as my boys transition to full-day school, it makes sense for her to begin fresh with a new family who can fully utilize everything she has to offer.

Please contact me or Sabrina directly. Sabrina is truly a gift, and while it breaks my heart to say goodbye, I’m committed to helping her find the perfect next family.

Our nanny, Verilene Roberts (Vee), has been an integral part of our family for the past (almost) 15 years.

From the moment Vee joined us when our son was 3 months old, she brought warmth, patience, and reliability into our home. She cared for our son and then our daughter and kept our house running. She has always been proactive, reliable, and thoughtful, often going above and beyond her duties without being asked. When they were little, Vee made sure the kids were well occupied taking them to the the playground, library, 14th St. Y and various classes and activities over the years.

It’s hard to put into words just how much Vee has meant to us. While we are excited for what lies ahead for her, we are truly sad to see her go. Any family fortunate enough to have Vee in their lives will quickly realize they’ve found someone special.

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, its 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 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.

Verona is an experienced nanny who connects well to children and helps family life flow for both new and experienced parents. She worked for us for 7 years and had long-term jobs before and after that, a testament to her versatility and commitment. Verona was a calm and steady presence, receiving unsolicited praise from teachers and pediatricians. She helped not only our kids grow but our family function. Verona worked with our family in both Washington Heights and the Upper West Side, and in both places she made strong connections with other children and nannies, and took advantage of activities, museums, and parks to keep our kids engaged. She is also familiar with kosher kitchens. Verona can work on the books.

Amazing Nanny Available!
Our former nanny, Shellyann, is warm, dependable, and wonderful with children of all ages (especially infants and toddlers). She has 10+ years of childcare experience, a background as a nurse’s assistant, and a talent for creating fun, educational days.

If you or someone you know is looking for a loving, experienced nanny, message me (Danielle) or contact Shellyann directly at (646) 464-1548.

Lisa is exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, demonstrating both smarts and practical savvy in her approach to childcare. She takes pride in maintaining a clean and organized environment, ensuring that the spaces where children play and learn are always tidy and welcoming. Her ability to connect with children of all ages is truly remarkable, as she adapts her care and communication style to meet each child’s unique needs.

She worked for us for 13 years, starting when my first born was an infant, and my children and I love her like she is our family.

Beyond her relationship with the children, Lisa also interacts seamlessly with every member of the family. She fosters positive relationships not just with the kids, but also with grandparents and other relatives, making her an integral part of the household dynamic. Her friendly and respectful demeanor helps cultivate a harmonious atmosphere within the family, further highlighting her exceptional interpersonal skills.

When both of my kids were babies, she maintained an organized feeding and nap schedule. It totally helped me manage breastfeeding SO MUCH better and I got my life and my boobs back! She also regularly read to them and as most parents know, kids have a favorite book. Lisa holds the record for reading Max the Minnow to my son I think 37 times IN ONE NIGHT. The max I did was 22. He loved that book so much that it fell apart and had to get another one. That speaks to her level of dedication and she knew reading was most important to my ex-husband and I. She also took them for walks in the stroller, and accompanied them to music and tumbling classes. As they progressed in age, she ensured their safe transit riding with them to and from nursery school in an uber. She prepared meals and snacks for them, and as they got older assisted with kumon homework.

She demonstrates exceptional diligence and planning skills, consistently ensuring punctuality for the children’s appointments. Her efficiency is notable—she manages cleaning, dressing, and bathing tasks swiftly and thoroughly.

Her culinary abilities are outstanding; the children highly appreciate her traditional dishes. However, she can follow a recipe and can prepare a wide variety of meals for the kids. I will just say that feeding them food from her background and our background really helped develop their palates. My kids eat spicy food now and are willing to try foods from all cultures. I can’t say they always LIKE them but they at least try.

So I was a new mom and man oh man did I need help but I didn’t know it. I mean I have a Masters! Yeah I did NOT have on in MOM’ing. I will NEVER forget her first morning with us she arranged my son’s room in a more sensible fashion, found clothes I didn’t know he had and got him on a more rational feeding schedule that allowed me more time between breast feedings. With her support, I felt fully assured returning to work, knowing my children were in capable hands.

Her guidance helped me develop organizational skills and improved my approach to parenting. I will always be a working Mom. Just like I have colleagues at work who are experts in their field. I regard her as a “childcare colleague” who continuously demonstrated best practices rather than simply completing assigned tasks. I confidently recommend her to any family, as she is capable of managing multiple children, including infants. New mothers in particular will benefit from her extensive experience.

I also got a wonderful new friend who I will always respect and adore. If we weren’t in to process of leaving NY for my job, I would not be posting on MommyBites.

Our amazing nanny Dato is looking for a new full-time role ideally with a new baby. Dato was with our family from the time our first born was 3months old and lovingly cared for both of our boys over the last 3 years.

Dato is incredibly nurturing and treats the kids like her own. She is always singing songs and playing games. She handles all the meals and feeding, both milk/formula and moving into solids. She’s also extremely clean and organized, both with the kids and around the house, which has been such a bonus. She sets up play dates and fun activities.

Dato is very flexible —always willing to stay late when needed and even does overnights when we travel.

We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our family, and any new family would be lucky to have her.

Our amazing nanny, Stacy, will be available as I have decided to stay home full-time after we had our second child. She started with us when our daughter was 4 months and has been with us for >2 years. She is tremendous at all of the standard nanny responsibilities (helping child reach milestones, arranging play dates, keeping to a schedule, keeping our daughters things clean and organized, etc. etc.).

One thing I love about her is that she is resourceful and proactive. She will not ask you a million questions about how to do this / where to put that. She is very observant and will learn how you like things done and do them that way! For example, if she notices we’re running low on our daughter’s snacks, she’ll pick something up at the store without asking. She can sense when I’m having a busy week and will go above and beyond to help where she can.

Lastly, she will be a joyful presence in your home. I genuinely look forward to her arrival each morning and getting to catch up quickly before starting work. She has a very healthy home and family life which allows her to be fully present at work. She will love your child like they are her own!

She is prefers 40-45 hours on UES but is open to UWS and Gramercy. Please feel free to reach out to her directly (917-698-0206) or myself (404-219-4820) if you have any questions!

She is reliable and can be counted on to be consistent and responsible. She creates a fun, balanced environment that will keep your child(ren) learning and happy. She is skilled and professional.

She lovingly cared for our two boys for two years, from infancy to toddlerhood. She is communicative, reliable, patient, joyful and respectful.

Hi parents! I wanted to share a strong recommendation for our amazing nanny, Esthela, who will be available November 1st.

She’s been extremely reliable, responsible, and flexible with our family, as well as warm, patient, and loving with our 7-month-old son, Finn. She’s handled everything from daily care and meal prep to keeping his routine consistent and happy. Her background in early childhood education really shined — she played a big role in helping Finn start crawling and supporting his language and communication development.

Some things that really make her stand out:

⁃ Always punctual and dependable
⁃ Engaged with Finn creatively and patiently (reading books, speaking to him in Spanish, engaging toys and games)
⁃ Kept things organized – bottles, laundry, toys, etc
⁃ Flexible with our schedules and environment
⁃ CPR certified and holds various childhood education certifications (Neurodivergent childhood care, Newborn care, etc.)

We are sadly parting ways but we’re committed to helping find another wonderful family.

If you are looking for someone trustworthy, kind, experienced and committed to providing the best care and loving environment, we highly recommend Esthela. Please feel free to message us if you’re interested and would like to chat. Her contact info is: 917-889-0182 and esthelaortiz123@gmail.com.

Thank you!

It is without reservation that I offer this endorsement for Irene Amendola.

Irene was employed by our family as a full-time nanny for our two daughters for over four years (January 2019 – March 2023). She took care of our oldest from the time she was 5 months old until she was 4.5 years old, and my younger daughter from when she was a newborn until she was 1.5 years old. Irene left us to care for her own family – a decision we naturally understood, but one that still left us heartbroken.

Irene is one of the finest caregivers we have known. Her demeanor is calm and gentle, creating an atmosphere of security and warmth in our home. She was boundlessly loving and sweet with the children, offering them endless patience and affection. Even once she was no longer working with us, she would come to visit, bearing gifts for the children, who could not have been more excited to see her. What sets Irene apart is her truly rare combination of warmth and professionalism. She is the gold standard of trustworthiness; we had unwavering, implicit faith in her character and judgment. Beyond her deep emotional connection with the children, she was meticulously cautious and proactive regarding safety, approaching her duties with a vigilant attention to detail that gave us immense peace of mind. She exhibited a dedication rarely seen today: she maintained an absolutely singular focus on the children and was never distracted by her phone while working.

In addition to their emotional and physical wellbeing, Irene also took their academic / intellectual development seriously. For our older daughter, she was proactive in buying educational materials she thought were helpful for her growth and development, and worked with her through Zoom preschool (IYKYK) during the long days of Covid school closures. Overall, our children flourished under her care.

Her profound gentleness was masterfully balanced by a quiet, effective firmness, allowing her to set clear, loving boundaries that helped guide their behavior and development constructively and respectfully. She could care for the ever changing needs of the children, and was equally comfortable taking care of a newborn as she was dealing with a toddler’s temper tantrum (though admittedly there were only a few of them when the children were in her care!).

Any family would be incredibly fortunate to welcome Irene into their home. She is responsible, highly engaged, and her genuine care for the children in her charge is unparalleled. We considered her departure a genuine loss to our family, and we would welcome her back into our lives without a moment’s hesitation.

Sandra cared for our children from 2016 to 2020.

During her time with our family, Sandra proved to be an exceptionally reliable, kind-hearted, and capable caregiver. She created a warm, structured, and nurturing environment for our children, balancing play and learning while always
maintaining a calm, confident demeanor—even in challenging situations.

One of Sandra’s greatest strengths is her genuine love for children and her ability to connect with them on their level. Whether organizing creative indoor activities or encouraging outdoor exploration, she always brought energy,
attentiveness, and joy to her work. Our children grew to trust her deeply and looked forward to their time with her each day. She was also incredibly dependable—arriving on time, communicating clearly, and taking her responsibilities seriously. She ensured routines were followed, meals were healthy and timely, and the house was left tidy. Her respect for our family’s values and her ability to anticipate needs made her an indispensable part of our household and someone we ultimately considered a member of our family.

It’s difficult to put into words how much Sandra has meant to our family. While we are sad to part ways during the pandemic when we moved from NYC, we wholeheartedly support her in future opportunities and are confident she
will be a tremendous asset to any family. Sandra excels with all ages of children.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to speak further about our experience.

We’re sad to see our wonderful nanny, Suzette, move on after 4.5 years with our family. She has been with our son since he was 2 (now 6.5) and with our daughter (now 3) since the day we brought her home from the hospital.

Suzette is extremely reliable and dependable — she never called out sick, was never late (in fact, she was always early!), and has always been flexible when our schedule changed. She’s stayed late for date nights, covered overnights when needed, and traveled with us. She’s extremely safety- and health-conscious — our children were always in exceptional hands with her. Most importantly, she has been a steady, caring presence in our home.

She’s patient and thoughtful, and she treats her work as both caregiver and educator. She taught our son to read at age 4 (!) and constantly finds creative, age-appropriate ways to engage and challenge our kids. They absolutely adore her, and we truly feel lucky to have had her in our lives.

We will miss her deeply. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Suzette join their home. Please feel free to reach out to her directly at 917-294-6398.

I am writing to strongly recommend our nanny Edith. Edith has been with us for over three years and has become an integral part of our family. She started with us to care for our toddler and infant, and she has seamlessly transitioned from caring for our two young children to nurturing our now three children.

Edith has rarely asked for time away, and when she does, she will try to accommodate our schedule and children’s needs as best as she can. We are sad to part ways with Edith, but we will be moving out of the city, which is too far for her to commute. If she could commute to our future home, we would keep her.

Wonderful nanny available!

My daughter’s nanny, Nadine, is available and looking to start with a new family. We’re relocating overseas and will miss her dearly.
She has years of experience taking care of little ones and helped me so much as a first time mom. She has also been on-time and flexible.

She looked after our little one since she was 4 months old and has been with us for 6 months. She read, sang and played with her every day, supporting her through key development milestones.

Her duties included making formula and purees, washing and ironing baby clothes, bathing, taking our little one out to the park and on play dates, tidying her room and generally anything to make our daughter’s day more enjoyable. Our daughter always came home happy and smiling after a day out with Nadine!

Nadine can be contacted at 917-279-0512.
