Parent Reference

Carolina Nino de Guzman was our full-time caregiver providing invaluable support during our family’s transition as we prepared to move abroad. Carolina stepped in to care for our 10-month-old daughter, 3-year-old son, and 7-year-old daughter, while also managing household tasks like dishes, laundry, and tidying up. Carolina quickly bonded with our baby, even during a time when she was wary of new people, engaging her with warmth and helping her transition to solid foods and maintain a consistent nap schedule. She also took the children on outings around Midtown Manhattan, including trips to the park and library, and prepared healthy snacks. Carolina is a self-starter with a positive attitude, energy, and clear love for children. She communicated regularly and kept us informed about the children’s days. She is now looking for a live out/in position in NYC or a live in position in the surrounding area. She is also a qualified baby nurse who can transition to nanny. We highly recommend Carolina for her dedication, experience, and care. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions. Katie Dayton.

Parent Reference

Mary is a wonderful caregiver for children! She has many years of experience! She worked for me on a part-time basis over the summer in 2024. Before that, she was the caregiver for my son's very best friend. She and my nanny spent every day together for 3 years, and she was a delight to be around. When my nanny needed to travel to be with family, she was willing to travel with us to NC over the summer and took great care of my almost 3 year old at the time. I couldn't recommend her more -- she's organized, loving, outgoing, low maintenance, cautious, polite, responsible and always put your child first. Mary has been doing this since 2002. She was with one family (with three children) from 2002-2017. She then moved to two other families only leaving them when they chose to leave the city for the suburbs. She's extremely devoted to the safety and well-being of your children at all times. She is hoping to start in early January 2025. Ideally she would like to be employed 4 out of 5 working days a week but is flexible to the needs of the family if needed and open for discussion. I am more than happy to vouch for her and speak directly to any interested family. She became a part of our family very quickly -- her easy going demeanor and likable personality make her an excellent choice to have in your every day life. Nothing is challenging with Mary. She has an extremely positive attitude, always sees the bright side and wants to put into action whatever you see best for your child. She's a true partner in the process and never tries to overshadow or dominate a situation.

I found our nanny Glenda, 13 year ago, on Mommybites and she has been our trusted caregiver ever since. Glenda had previously worked for her last two families for ~10 years each as well. I think that says it all...once you work with Glenda you stick with her! She is a terrific nanny and wonderful person. Glenda started with us when our daughter was 1 year old and she is anow freshman in high school. We are sad to say goodbye to Glenda, but know she will always be a part of our family. Glenda is an experienced, conscientious nanny. She is professional, kind, hard working and very responsible. Glenda puts your child first. She was always attentive to our daughter, making sure she was well looked after and always safe and secure. Glenda developed a deep bond with our daughter. She took her to classes, arranged play dates and was a happy companion and playmate. As our daughter has grown, Glenda has taught her responsibility and helped her become a polite and gracious young woman. We have traveled with Glenda and she is a great companion. Glenda is seeking her next family. She would like a live out role, 5 days a week. I really want to make sure Glenda finds a kind and considerate family who will value her like we have. She deserves it! I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Glenda has my highest recommendation.

Parent Reference

If you’re looking for a nanny for a baby, I cannot recommend our former nanny, Linda Nerissa, highly enough. She worked with our family for 3.5 years, starting from the time our son was three months. We interviewed at least ten people and knew Nerissa was the right fit for us because of her warmth and easy going demeanor, extensive experience with children and - of course - stellar recommendations. Nerissa adored our kids (our second child came when my son was 2.5) and still tells them how much she misses and loves them when we speak on FaceTime now. She was always reliable and effortless to communicate with. A former Kindergarten teacher, she constantly sang and read to the children and I have no doubt she helped cultivate their love of stories and books. Perhaps as importantly as how well she cared for my children she helped me to feel calm and confident as a new parent. Nerissa shared her thoughts when she felt it was important while always also supporting and never judging me. If you are interested in connecting with Nerissa, please contact her directly at [email protected]. Also of course happy to share more about her/answer any questions. Nerissa is specifically looking to work with a baby and flexible on location. She worked with us in midtown but has also worked on UWS and in Brooklyn.

Parent Reference

Sade has been with our family for the past 4 years, she came when the world was upside down in the midst of Covid. She first came to help us care for our 2 yr old when I was pregnant waiting for our second child to arrive. She is great with newborns taking care to be there for this crucial developmental stage in a warm and caring manner. She has been with us since. During that time she has helped nurture our three little ones with such patience and understanding. I have complete trust in her, knowing that she always has the best interests of our children at heart and handles every situation with integrity and responsibility. The true test came when we had our third child who is autistic and non-verbal, she has been instrumental in helping him thrive and works alongside with his therapists really well. She takes him to all his therapy sessions and he has been her main focus for the past 2 years and my other two kids are older and more independent. It can get quite chaotic in our home when Sade is not around, she seems to anticipate the kids' needs even before they are in need of anything. She has the perfect balance of patience and energy, always ready to engage with the children in fun and educational activities, reading is one of her strong suits and she has a way of making the stories come alive. Her creativity shines through in the imaginative games and crafts she comes up with, making every day an adventure. She is always on the go, from tummy time to swimming and gymnastics, play dates to park and museum visits she is always ready for an adventure. Her loving and caring nature ensures that the children feel safe, cherished, stimulated and happy. She is great at keeping with our hectic schedule while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. I can always count on her to be on time and reliable. She understands the importance of consistency and is always there when you need her. A family vacation is more stressful when she isn’t around. Sade is an amazing Nanny and a wonderful person, any family would be lucky to have her, I know I have been blessed. Reach out if you feel she is the right fit for your family, I’m happy to answer any question about her. I am dedicated to finding her a new family as we will be relocating at the end of the year and she will be available this upcoming January.

WONDERFUL full-time nanny available. I am writing to recommend our longtime nanny, Joania, to anyone looking for a full-time nanny. Joania has been with our family for seven years and is a warm, kind, trustworthy, responsible and loving caregiver who has been a true partner in helping us raise our two daughters since they were newborns. With both of our children in school full-time, our childcare needs have sadly changed. Joania began with our family when our eldest was three months old. After having interviewed MANY nannies, I liked and trusted Joania immediately. While at our apartment and meeting us for the first time, Joania took charge, and I was immediately at ease. When the baby was crying, Joania stepped right in and knew just what to do to comfort her. Since then, she has kept our daughters’ days busy but organized, taking them to the library, museums and the playground and shuttling them to school, playdates and afterschool activities. Our daughters have made many of their closest friends through Joania, and we have often received unsolicited feedback from neighbors and fellow parents about how wonderful Joania was with our children. In seven years, Joania has never once been late to work (she regularly arrives half an hour early) and has never called in sick. She is incredibly flexible, always willing to work late when asked and has spent time with our family outside of the city and even moved in with us during Covid. Before us, Joania was with a family for 14 years and another one for over four years—she is still in close touch with both families and regularly sees the kids. Joania is looking for another full-time position in Manhattan or Brooklyn, with a family that she can grow with. She is a wonderful person and nanny, and we are committed to helping her find a new position with the right family, who will be lucky to have her. Please message me if interested.

Andrea is truly a gem – she is completely trustworthy, caring and willing to help in any way including cooking meals and keeping the house very tidy. Our kids always adored Andrea because she genuinely cared about them and engaged with them doing activities, taking them to the park or classes, reading with them, playing games or helping with homework. Our son had health issues as a baby which was very difficult - if it weren’t for Andrea’s patience with him and gentle ways I don’t know how we would have managed. Andrea is also highly responsible – always on time and flexible if needed to work additional hours. She takes pride in her work and how the children in her care are doing. Our kids are now 19, 16 and 11 and consider Andrea an honorary family member so much so that she was recently at our daughter’s high school graduation! I highly recommend Andrea and could think of no better person to care for children of any age!

Laura is currently seeking a full-time, long-term position as a nanny, and it is with great pleasure that I write this letter of reference for her. With over a decade of experience in childcare, Laura’s professionalism, dedication, and warmth make her an exceptional caregiver. She has extensive experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers, which is evident in her ability to adapt to the unique needs of children at each stage of development. Laura joined our family when our son was just four months old, and she has been an integral part of his growth and development for almost 3 years. As first-time parents, we learned so much from Laura’s wealth of experience and her generosity in sharing her knowledge. She guided us with practical advice and reassurance, which helped us navigate those early and often overwhelming stages of parenthood. From the very beginning, it was evident that Laura has a genuine love and respect for children. She not only cares for them but also supports their growth and education with patience, kindness, and unwavering dedication. During our son’s first year, when he had a challenging relationship with food, Laura took the initiative to research and prepare healthy, creative recipes to encourage his eating habits. She managed the food and resources we provided with remarkable efficiency and independence, ensuring that every aspect of her work was carried out seamlessly. Laura is highly proactive and organized. She consistently maintained a harmonious routine for our child and ensured a safe, stimulating, and loving environment. Her ability to work as a team with us as parents was invaluable. She communicated openly and sincerely, always prioritizing our child’s needs while respecting our values and parenting style. One of Laura’s most remarkable qualities is her calm and gentle demeanor. Her education and extensive experience shine through in her approach to childcare, as she combines creativity and dynamism with structure and care. Laura has been a steady source of support, not only for our son but also for us as parents. It is with deep sadness that we had to part ways with Laura as our son has now started school. She has become a cherished member of our family, and her departure feels like a significant loss. Both we and our son love her dearly, and her influence will remain a positive and lasting part of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura as a nanny to any family seeking someone trustworthy, capable, and compassionate. She is a rare and invaluable asset to any home.

Wonderful baby nurse available to provide the highest quality support and experience for your family. Our one-of-a-kind former nanny, Veronica, has transitioned from nannying to being a night nurse and is looking for families to work with. Veronica is a mother of two boys and has countless years of experience taking care of children, including many newborns. She joined our family when our younger daughter was a baby and cared for my kids for two amazing years until they began attending school full time. After taking a short break to spend time with her boys, Veronica is looking to help families with their newborn(s) at night. You cannot find a better caregiver than Veronica. She is warm yet firm, responsible and reliable, takes excellent direction while also acting resourcefully and independently and prioritizes the well being of your child and family over the “easy route”. Veronica came highly recommended to me from her prior family, who described her as smart with excellent judgment and a true professional. At the time of my search, those traits stood out to me as rare yet so valuable, and I can't emphasize enough how much agree with and benefited from them (in addition to all of her other amazing qualities). Veronica was a blessing to our family and will undoubtedly be one for your family too. If you have a need for a night nurse or know anyone who does, please reach out.

We’re sharing this on behalf of our former nanny, Aggie, as her current family prepares for their little ones to start school. We are helping them find her next wonderful family. Aggie, who was an outstanding nanny for our daughter from the age of 4 months to nearly 2 years, is seeking a full-time position. She is a certified newborn care specialist with extensive experience caring for infants and young children. She holds pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications. Aggie far exceeded our already high expectations as both a guardian and a companion for our daughter. She was incredibly reliable and consistently prioritized safety. Whether waiting quietly outside the nursery during naptime or tidying up when our daughter was sleeping, Aggie’s dedication was unmatched. At the playground, she was always attentive, ensuring our daughter’s safety while letting her explore and play. One of the many ways Aggie went above and beyond was in organizing playdates. Despite being new to the neighborhood, she quickly established a network, creating a group of friends for our daughter. The joy on our daughter’s face after these get-togethers was priceless, and we were so grateful for Aggie’s thoughtfulness in planning them. Aggie became a true part of our family during her time with us, and we are deeply invested in helping her find her next opportunity. She came to us highly recommended by her previous employer, a family with several children, including one with special needs. Her extensive childcare experience, patience, problem-solving skills, and initiative made her a trusted advisor as we navigated the early years of parenting. She was also flexible with scheduling, often accommodating our needs with a few days’ notice. We cannot recommend Aggie highly enough for her next role with a loving family. Please feel free to call/text/email ([email protected] or 347-514-3303) or reach out to Aggie directly (646-286-4104).

Looking for a kind, experienced, reliable, flexible and engaged caregiver? Then keep reading! Our beloved and incredible Ms. Patti - our partner, childcare provider, and adopted family member of 8 years - is ready to join a new family. With both my children in school full time we know it is time for another family to be as genuinely lucky as we have been to have her in their life. (My husband and I frequently comment to each other that we hit the nanny lottery). Ms. Patti joined us eight years ago just after my son was born and has been with us ever since - supporting us following the birth of our daughter four years ago, through the crazy COVID years with my husband being a “front line worker”, and then our move to the ‘burbs three years ago. Since we left NYC, Ms. Patti has lived with us during the week returning home to Queens on the weekend. I interviewed many, many nannies but I knew right away after meeting Ms. Patti that she was “the one”. I was right. Ms. Patti has decades of experience and came to us after having worked for multiple families long term (eight years, seven years, four years, etc.). Her long tenure with families speaks volumes about her work ethic and abilities. As a further testament to the bond she has with her charges she has stayed in touch with her previous families seeing her once babies go on to college and even get married! Ms. Patti’s energy and enthusiasm are seemingly boundless. She is reliable, punctual, and honestly, I can’t think of a sick day she has taken in 8 years. There is nothing Ms. Patti wouldn’t do to ensure my children’s safety, happiness, growth, and development. She’s not glued to a phone, she’s glued to our kids. Other mothers, grandparents, educators and the like regularly share with us how special she is and attest to the tender and attentive care she provides. For the past +2,500 days, I have returned home to happy children and a tidy living space. She is not just a babysitter – she is our rock. I know my children wouldn’t be as well adjusted, smart, engaged, and kind if not for her. She even taught my son how to play chess and now he routinely competes and places in chess tournaments! As a family with two busy working parents with no family support anywhere near by, Ms. Patti has been the glue that keeps everything together and the oil that keeps the machine running. She carries the day in every way by getting ahead of things and routinely going above and beyond. If the situation allowed, Ms. Patti would stay with our family until my youngest is 18. No really, she would. We love her so and as such, are committed to finding her a new family to support. Ms. Patti is looking for a warm, welcoming family ideally with a baby/infant to forge another long-term relationship with. She would consider a part time position with the right family. She is open to anywhere in Manhattan though she has spent the most time on the Upper East Side and midtown/Gramercy. She lives in Queens and would consider positions in Queens and Brooklyn as well.

Our nanny of four years, Angine "Nene", is be available for a new family due to our departure from New York. She is open to full-time with one family as well as a nanny share. "Nene" joined us when our daughter was 4 months old as part of a nanny share with another 4-month old. She loved those two babies with all her heart and handled the challenges of a nanny share with ease. She stayed with our family after it ended. Since then, we have had another baby so she now takes care of our 4 year old and 1.5 year old. Nene has been a nanny for over 20 years, and she is an absolute pro. Our kids run for the door when she arrives in the morning and like to escort her to the elevator at night when she leaves. She is loving, patient, punctual and reliable. We love how she adores our children like her own, makes them feel loved and cared for but also they respect and listen to her. We know she'd do anything for our kids. She has been our partner in parenting for the last 4 years. She does school drop-off/pick-up, after school activities, organizes playdates, plays constantly, does laundry for the kids, prepares their food, washes bottles/cups/dishes, grocery shops and keeps the house tidy. She potty trained our older daughter. As a bonus, she loves to bring us food from home as well. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Our amazing nanny is looking for a new family! She is incredibly responsible and I could not have continued working so confidently without her. My twins are now older and she has been a babysitter long after we needed a full-time nanny. Shonnalee is everything you could ask for: kind, caring, loyal, energetic, attentive and able to handle all ages of children from newborn on up. There is no situation she cannot manage. She took a true interest in both of my kids, and still is their champion! Shonnalee loved to take them to the park, the gym, and any activities you needed. She is neat, clean, always on time and an incredible cook (total bonus!). Once you try her meatballs or chicken you will think she should open a restaurant. Shonnalee will cook for us on occasion because we miss her food so much! Shonnalee is like family to us and always will be a part of our lives. Aside from me, she has multiple additional excellent references. Her number is 347-968-1352. Call her and you are all set. Elyse

Our amazing nanny, Danielle, is looking for a new family! We would love to continue working with her, but we’ve decided to put our son in daycare so that he gets more social time with other kids. Danielle joined us last fall, when our son was 7 months old, after our daycare unexpectedly closed. A friend of ours who previously worked with Danielle for several years strongly recommended that we reach out to her. So we did, and she really saved us from a stressful situation! Danielle immediately bonded with our son and helped us navigate various transitions during his first year — eating solids, drinking from a cup, walking, you name it. She’s warm and caring, while at the same time fiercely protective of our son, which immediately put me, a first-time mom, at ease. Danielle also believes in talking to kids clearly and directly, which has helped our son develop his language skills. It has always been clear that Danielle views her role, in part, as being our son’s biggest advocate. That has meant helping him build his confidence at the play gym — and even telling us when we should consider buying different toys, cups, etc. It’s one of the many things that I’ve loved about working with her. I can’t recommend Danielle highly enough!

Incredible, full-time nanny with over 20 years of experience is now available! We are aging out of full-time care with our youngest in pre-school, and are helping our wonderful nanny, Sharon, find her next family. Sharon has been part of our family for the last 3.5 years when our youngest was a few months old and our boys immediately took to her. She came with glowing recommendations from her previous two families, both of whom she worked for over the course of many years. She is phenomenal with babies and toddlers and loves to get them out and about, socializing in our neighborhood and beyond. What makes Sharon so special: • She truly loves our boys, and they love her. We are just her third family in 20 years, and she has had similar bonds will all the children she has cared for. The oldest is 19 and off to college and he still often text her to check in. • We often get complimented on how social and well-behaved our boys are and, in large part, this has everything to do with Sharon. Never once, have we heard of Sharon raising her voice or losing her patience with them (and, believe me, we would hear from the boys if she did). She has a magical way of being both stern and loving where they truly listen to what she says. • Sharon is an amazing mother, which is exemplified in her daughter who graduated top of her class a Beacon HS and is a junior on an academic scholarship at Syracuse. • Above all else, we were never stressed about our kids when they were with Sharon and that is worth everything! We knew they were safe and taken care of. She is comfortable keeping up with medication as needed (asthma, food allergies here) and has kept up with our kids’ appointments and activities throughout the years. She loves birthdays and wants to make them special for each boy. She goes out of her way to celebrate each one with all our kids’ friends invited. Sharon is adored by everyone- our boys’ friends, their parents and nannies, our teachers, our building staff, etc. It’s incredible how often we overhear “There are Sharon’s boys!” as we are walking around our neighborhood. She has a preference for babies and UWS. Open to part-time (mornings) and full-time opportunities. No pets please.

Grace is looking for a short or long term position with a family! Grace worked for us for a few weeks as a night nurse right when our son William was born in early 2019. We found her through an agency at the time, via Bright Horizons. Grace was life-changing for us. To meet Grace is to love Grace. She is incredibly warm, full of vitality, yet deeply calming and comforting. She is enormously knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to babies and toddlers. She taught us so much in those first few weeks about infant health, sleep, safety, feeding and nutrition. As a new mother, she was incredibly supportive of me personally, something I since came to appreciate as a rare quality. She always respected and supported what was important to me in parenting baby William. Our family has kept in touch over the past few years, and consider her a loving family friend. I know from speaking with her that she has deep experience in short and long-term childcare positions, and that she is available now to start work with a new family. We could not recommend Grace more highly. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to hear more about our experience with Grace.

Parent Reference

Our children’s nanny, Xochitl, is looking for a new family to start with this fall. Xochitl has been with us since our son Walker was just six months old (he is now very much in the terrible twos). She is warm, caring and has a wealth of experience caring for children of all ages. From the moment we met her, we trusted her immediately and implicitly with our son. She quickly became an invaluable member of the family, lovingly caring for Walker and (eventually) his baby sister Charlotte (now 3 months old) – while also keeping an eye on our oldest Lucy (12 years old). Unfortunately, now that Walker is in nursery school five days a week and our work schedules have changed, we realize we only need part time care going forward, but have been putting off that decision because we didn’t want to lose Xochitl – who is looking for (and very much deserves) something closer to a full-time position. It’s hard to describe the amazing care Xochitl provides for our children. She arrives on time for work each and every day full of boundless cheer and energy. She quickly made friends with other nannies in the building and neighborhood, meaning that Walker has always had plenty of playdates, including with a little girl who has become one of his best friends. Xochitl has helped so much with Walker – she helped to get him onto a sleep and bottle schedule when she first started and establish a comfortable and thoughtful routine through as he grew into a toddler. She helped to introduce solid foods and expand his palate, established and enforced basic manners, sung him songs and read him stories, and taught him about animals, letters, colors, and even a fair amount of Spanish. Xochitl is great at logistics and had Walker’s days beautifully planned, taking him out to play every morning and every afternoon after his naps, rain or shine. She organized dozens of outings to the Zoo, the Met, the Natural History Museum, and the local library, as well as playgrounds all over the city. She takes care of everything related to the children, preparing meals, washing bottles, doing their laundry, tidying their room, and even finds time to help keep the apartment tidy – including the occasional load of our laundry – even when not asked. She was also flexible and able to stay late or come as early as needed, most notably when Missie went into labor with baby Charlotte. I’m not sure what we would have done without her! Xochitl is very much a part of our family and our children absolutely love her. She loves them like they are her own. We are heartbroken to see her go and more than a little worried that we will be lost without her. She is fun loving and gentle with the children and goes above and beyond for them. She is truly a gem and you would be lucky to have her.

Before joining our family she worked with her previous family for almost six years, and she has been a dedicated nanny for 25 years. Her experience with infants and toddlers is exceptional—she is attentive, creative, and always engaging with the children through crafts and play. It’s not uncommon to come home and hear her laughing with our daughters, a sound that always brought joy and peace to our home. Savitri’s loving, patient, and kind nature has been a constant source of comfort for my husband and me, especially with our demanding jobs. We always knew our children were safe, happy, and well cared for. She is also punctual, reliable, and a great cook which was a big help, especially with our picky eaters! Our home was always calm, neat, and organized, making our return from work something to look forward to. As our children are now older and more independent, we no longer need a full-time nanny, but saying goodbye to Savitri is going to be a difficult transition for us all. If you are looking for a nanny who will provide a safe, supportive home and build a deep, loving connection with your children, you should definitely give Savitri a call. She has truly been a part of our family, and any family would be lucky to have her as part of theirs.

Now that our children are in middle school and no longer need full-time care, we want to help her transition to a new role where she can share her warmth and expertise with another family. Laxmi is an exceptional nanny who has a special gift for working with children, especially babies. She is patient, loving, and calm, even in the midst of the chaos that comes with raising twins. Our girls are kind, happy, and well-mannered, thanks in no small part to Laxmi's guidance and care. She never loses her patience and always finds gentle ways to teach manners and positive behavior. At every stage, she has looked for ways to help support their learning and development. She is also a great and healthy cook—our daughters swear the secret ingredient in her cooking is "love." I credit her with them not being picky eaters because she introduced them to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables from the moment they could eat solids. Laxmi goes above and beyond, taking the initiative to help around the house and always consulting us on how to approach new situations with our girls. Her dedication and commitment is so apparent; other parents frequently compliment us on how incredible she is with our girls and mention how lucky we are (and we are lucky!) Laxmi will be available starting January or February 2025, and we are happy to accommodate your schedule if you want to do a trial period in advance to ensure a good fit. We would love to see her find a family who will appreciate her as much as we do. If you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, and experienced nanny to care for your children, please reach out to Laxmi. We would also be happy to chat with you as well during this process.

I am pleased to provide this reference for Lucretia (Pat) Jackman, whom our family has been lucky to know since 2018. I met Pat originally through a Mommybites reference years ago, for whom she worked for 5+ years. Currently Pat can be flexible, can live out and is open to live in positions. She is well equipped for either baby nurse or full time nanny positions. Pat is a true professional, dependable, intelligent, and genuine. She is everything we could have wanted for our kids and family for six years, starting from day one supporting the needs of two working parents in demanding jobs requiring travel. She was a committed, stable constant through the various stages, COVID, and multiple moves. Pat formed warm relationships with our friends and the grandparents too! On several occasions, parents and observers would find me to tell me what an incredibly proactive and attentive nanny Pat is. She inspires confidence and is personable, often a key person in bringing others together. She initiated meet ups, connected families, and put together events to make our kids feel special. Pat has exceptional skills in childcare, including creating and keeping to schedules, preparing meals, maintaining a hygienic, neat, and safe environment, and going above and beyond what is required to show she cares. She is an expert in the baby stage, such as establishing a sleep and feeding rhythm (including sleep training when ready), helping parents with nursing, pumping, formula and bottle feedings, bathing the baby, and the ever challenging task of cutting baby nails. She has a natural ability to engage with children as they grow, fostering a warm, creative, and educational environment. She helps children to develop new skills with confidence and navigate evolving, social dynamics. Led by a keen and genuine interest in enrichment, Pat provides strong scaffolding for kids to explore. When my son was learning how to walk, for example, she quickly established a routine of exercises for him at home, unprompted. When he later showed an initial interest in math, she was first to create worksheets to elevate his knowledge. Most importantly, she is trustworthy, honest, and fiercely protective. There is no doubt in my mind that our children were safe when in her care. Her punctuality and reliability are invaluable. She always arrived with at least 15 minutes to spare. Pat approaches every day with a positive attitude and joy, while taking her job very seriously. She is hardworking, proactive, efficient, and always thinks 5 steps ahead. She, for instance, would pack the kid's bags well in advance for our weekend getaways without being asked. Pat completes tasks methodically and quickly and takes feedback and direction well. Especially important in working in such a personal setting, she knew when to give us space, but was present and proactive when she could provide guidance. She offers flexibility in terms of schedule on nights and weekends and can travel domestically and internationally. She travelled with us often. When she had spare time as my son grew older, she cooked for the family and loved sharing delicious cuisine from Trinidad. She is a rare gem, and I would welcome any conversation to tell you more about her.

Dear Future Family, I am thrilled to recommend Tammy, who was our nanny from 2019 to 2020. Tammy cared for our two young children during a pivotal time in our family’s life, starting when our youngest was just 3 months old and our oldest was 2.5. Her kindness, positivity, and dedication made a world of difference for us, especially as I transitioned back to work after my maternity leave. Tammy brought a unique level of expertise to her role, as she is also a certified doula and a mother herself. She instinctively understood our children’s needs, particularly during those precious, sometimes challenging early months with a newborn. Every day, Tammy arrived with a huge smile and infectious joy, immediately engaging our children. She had a remarkable ability to keep them busy, active, and engaged in meaningful activities. Many days, I’d come home to find the kids laughing in the middle of a craft project, paint on their hands, and smiles all around. Tammy’s warmth and creativity were constants in our children’s lives, and she created such a positive, nurturing environment for them. Tammy truly became a positive and stabilizing force in our lives, and it was a tough day for all of us when she decided to transition out of her role to support her stepdaughter’s adjustment to life in the United States. We missed her so much that we ended up hiring her mother as our next nanny! That’s how much we trusted and valued Tammy and her family’s approach to caregiving. Tammy left a lasting impact on our family, and we still think so fondly of her time with us. She is warm, responsible, and committed to nurturing children in the best possible way. Her experience as a certified doula is a wonderful bonus, and she would be an incredible asset throughout pregnancy and into the early stages of motherhood as well as with older kids, with whom she brings so much FUN! I wholeheartedly recommend Tammy to any family looking for a caring, positive, and knowledgeable nanny. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d be happy to share more about our wonderful experience with her.

Yolande has been a vital part of our family for several years, providing exceptional care for our two children from the time they were newborns. Her warmth, devotion, and fierce protectiveness of our children have made her an essential part of their early development. Yolande is an incredibly patient caregiver; I never saw her flustered even in the face of tantrums or meltdowns. Her calm and nurturing demeanor helped guide our children through difficult moments with understanding and care. She was always hands-on, never hesitating to get down on the floor to play, sing songs, or read books to them. Yolande also played a crucial role in helping our children develop social skills. She took them to the playground and playdates regularly, encouraging them to interact with other children and make friends. She is loyal and committed, going above and beyond in her role. Even during challenging times when our family contracted COVID-19, Yolande did not hesitate to continue caring for the children, ensuring their routine was as unaffected as possible. In addition to her excellent caregiving, Yolande is incredibly tidy and organized. She diligently carried out all her duties, never leaving for the day before completing all responsibilities. She respected all of our parenting preferences, such as no screen time and no sweets, ensuring our rules were followed consistently. Yolande’s love for our children, her commitment to her work, and her ability to create a warm, calm environment make her an extraordinary caregiver. We are incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated nanny.

Our daughter is heading off to preschool and I would love to help find our nanny, Kizzy, a new family starting in Jan/Feb. She started regularly babysitting at 6 weeks, then full time from 4 months- two years (40+ hours per week). We have had a super positive experience. We are based in Brooklyn Heights. Please DM me for more details, but to share a bit! I find her presence nice to have in the house, she was supportive of me continuing to breastfeed for 10 months and working that into the day. She takes our daughter to library every day, met a group of similar aged kids they meet up with, introduces me to their parents, finds classes, story times, new parks, water parks in the summer and warms indoor activities in the winter. When she started to count, she brought home funny little number posters to help her learn, lots of considerate ideas! She is very diligent on safety and has helped us teach as our daughter grows. Communication has been good and she is responsive and collaborative on the approach we are taking to raise our kid. Our daughter is happy to see her everyday. She was calm when the baby was little and has the energy to keep up with a now active two year old. She is happy to stay late and do evenings. If she is ever sick, she has helped find a friend or family member to cover (we know several of his siblings and cousins!) But most importantly she loves our kid and kids in general! Happy to email or text directly for more information. Please keep Kizzy in mind and share with friends/family :) Nanny Info: - Name: Kizzy Baptiste - Dates worked: Jan 2022 - Present - Full Time: 8am-4/5p, MF (regularly stays late when needed) - Email: [email protected] - Phone: 929-454-9786 Responsibilities: - Overall childcare - Meals - Kids room tidying - Keeping kitchen cleaning/Doing dishes

I want to share a recommendation for our amazing nanny, Maria, who is looking for a full-time position. She has been a part of our family for five years but she has been a nanny for over 25 years. With my son attending school full-time, we no longer needed her on a daily basis but she continues to be in our family for occasions. She is hard-working, trustworthy and takes initiative to every child’s needs. In the past, she has helped other families with multiple kids and multiple ages as well. With a background in early childhood development, Maria creates a nurturing, safe, and fun environment every day. She’s patient, incredibly attentive, and her love for children shines through in everything she does. Plus, being bilingual in Spanish and English. She does light housekeeping for the child; cleaning, cooking, and laundry. She loves going to the community; park outings, play-dates, library and classes. Also she is flexible to travel in the USA and abroad. She is also considerate; she would send us picture of our son every day, keeping us updated on his day. If anyone is looking for someone long-term, trustworthy and genuinely dedicated to children’s growth and well-being, I can’t recommend Maria enough. Feel free to message me if you’d like to know more about our experience! Her availability is Monday through Friday and some weekends and can start anytime.

Parent Reference

Shanta was an amazing nanny to our son and is currently looking for a full-time position in New York City. She is warm, professional, and a joy to be around. Shanta has an incredible knack for loving and nurturing children, which we observed firsthand between her and our infant son. Shortly after Shanta joined, we noticed a significant acceleration in our son hitting developmental milestones, especially around his physical and linguistic abilities. Our son loves Shanta and is visibly joyful being around her. They will often play games and read stories together. Shanta consistently fosters his independence by helping him learn to play and read on his own as well. Shanta knows Manhattan very well and easily navigates the city. Immediately after joining us, she seamlessly fit into the Upper East Side. She loved to take our son out of the home and would arrange playdates with others in the area. Prior to Shanta joining us, I spoke with the previous three families Shanta had worked with over the years, and each gave her an exceptionally strong endorsement. Shanta is a fantastic nanny and we deeply value her contributions to our family. We recommend her whole-heartedly.

Parent Reference

I am writing to recommend Semone Prescott as a nanny for your family. 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.

Indira is a perfect combination of nurturing, confident, and professional. I loved that I never worried about my newborn out in New York City, I trust her fully. She was very attentive to me and my needs, and my daughter loved her. She started working with us when my daughter was 4 months old and we worked with her until we moved out of NYC to Maryland. She cleans and did our laundry, and always had fun activities planned. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Looking at Upper East side, full time, live out positions.

Parent Reference

Severiana (Seve for short) is an absolute gem. She took care of our son for over 3 years, from when he was 2 months old until we moved out of the NY area this summer. She is hoping to care for an infant, but is flexible and is excellent with all ages. She is incredibly reliable, responsive, and flexible. She has played a critical role in our son’s development since he was a newborn. He is fluent in Spanish thanks to her! For us, she did light cleaning around the house and occasional (delicious) cooking, but would be open to other arrangements. She has a very gentle and playful manner with kids, and an innate understanding of child development. She was always intentionally working on something with our son (in a natural, not intense way), from his behavior to reading/playing, self care skills, to getting along with other kids. She was very proactive about taking him out to the park or library and setting up playdates with other kids. She is very easy to work with - very receptive to feedback and no drama. We were on the same page about everything in terms of behavioral management, safety, healthy food, screen time, etc... She is looking for another family to grow with and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
