Describe Your Nanny

Our exceptional nanny has cared for our daughter from 6 months to nearly 4 years old and truly has become an integral part of our family. As first-time parents, we were nervous about everything from sleep schedules and introducing solids to dealing with temper tantrums and potty training, but Anne has guided us through each milestone with incredible patience, expertise, and genuine care. She hasn’t just cared for our daughter; she mentored us as parents, helped us build confidence, and taught us so much about child development along the way.

With 18 years’ professional experience, Anne has brought a deep understanding of newborn care, developmental play, and early childhood needs that shows in everything she does. She established consistent sleep and feeding schedules that completely transformed our daily lives, and her ability to adapt her approach as our daughter grew from infant to confident preschooler is remarkable. From tummy time and sensory play as an infant to creative arts, counting, and ABC’s as a toddler, she always seems to know exactly what our daughter needed to thrive at each stage. She prepares nutritious, delicious meals that our daughter actually eats, has maintained our daughter’s health with vigilant care during illnesses, and keeps everything beautifully organized from toys to clothes to supplies. Anne also has helped integrate our daughter into our community, building relationships throughout the neighborhood, and arranging playdates to facilitate growing our daughter’s social skills. She handles transportation to and from classes and activities with such care, establishing communication with teachers and providers to update us on our daughter’s progress. Her ability to manage not just childcare but also child-related household tasks like laundry and maintaining tidy common areas has been such a gift to our busy family. She even taught my husband how to cook, sharing recipes and techniques that have become family favorites! 

Anne has strong communication skills and provides regular written daily updates, but also brightens our work days with photos and videos of our daughter. She is consistently respectful of household boundaries, and her reliability over the years has been unwavering, barely taking any sick days at all. Another quality that truly sets Anne apart is her passion for continued growth and professional development; through Cornell University’s ILR Worker Institute, she completed in-person workshop series on Nanny Training & Professional Development as well as Newborn Care Nanny Training in 2024, simply to make sure she continues to practice at the top of her profession. Anne is also current with AHA Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED certification and has specialized certificates in Infant Brain Development, Positive Discipline, and Creative Play from My Nanny Circle.

Any family would be fortunate to have someone so experienced, professionally trained, reliable, warm, and naturally gifted with children. We no longer need Anne’s assistance since our daughter is going to school full time. This will be a challenging transition for us but we know she will continue to enrich the lives of the children in her care. She truly loves all the children she cares for and always keeps in touch with her prior families. We’d be happy to provide more detailed insight into her exceptional work and the positive impact she had on us. We truly cannot recommend her enough, and the family that hires her will be incredibly lucky to have her.

Describe Your Nanny

We highly recommend our nanny, Arlene, who has been with us since our son was 3 months old. She’s reliable, always on time, and brings a fun, attentive energy that our son absolutely loved.

She has strong experience with both infants and toddlers and was a consistent, caring presence throughout our son’s early years. Taught us a lot!

She always found the best classes / fun events to attend and kept us updated with lots of pictures.

We are transitioning because our son is starting a 2K/3K program — otherwise, we would have happily kept her on.

She is available to work across the boroughs starting September 1st. A great fit for any family seeking dependable and engaging childcare for one or more children.

Please contact her on t: 347-779-6314

Describe Your Nanny

We recently said goodbye to our beloved nanny, Nadine, as we moved, and we’re still hoping to help her find the amazing family she deserves. She has experience working with all age groups.

Nadine is so much more than a nanny-she’s loving, proactive, and incredibly skilled at fostering a child’s growth.
She helped raise our daughter into a confident, bilingual (French/English) little girl, all while filling her days with adventure, learning, joy., and lots of outdoor time.

She sets thoughtful boundaries with patience, cooks incredible meals, and brings warmth and structure into the home. Any family would be lucky to have her—we know we were

Describe Your Nanny

Our wonderful nanny will be available when my daughter starts school this fall. Yvonne has been with us for a year and has become so close with my daughter, we are sad to lose her. We have lived in 2 different neighborhoods while Yvonne has been with us and she’s learned both area so well, found friends to plan play dates with, and found great parks and activities for my daughter. My 2 year old is very verbal (and counts to 10, knows alphabet, shapes, and colors) and I credit Yvonne with helping her develop. She also brings my daughter in the subway to meet me at work sometimes and I always feel safe with her in Yvonne’s care. She’s extremely reliable, flexible on schedule and will stay late when needed. Happy to discuss further or you can contact her directly!

Describe Your Nanny

Our superstar nanny, Leona, is looking for her next long-term position following our recent relocation and after five incredible years with our family. Leona is so much more than a caregiver, she is a partner in raising our daughters and a loving, steady presence in our home.

About Leona:

• 5 years of experience with our family (two girls, from birth to age 5)
• Never late! Her reliability is unmatched
• High character professional who emphasizes manners, respect, and inclusion, while also being warm, patient, and deeply nurturing
• Brings structure and routine to every stage (sleep schedules, transitioning to solids, potty training, etc.)
• Helps with housekeeping, laundry, meal prep for the kids, and maintaining a tidy home
• Does not get distracted by her phone at the playground or when outside

Leona has been our constant as two busy working parents. She has been with us through every stage, and her support has been invaluable – as an example, we could not imagine transitioning without her, so she even came with us to Connecticut to help the girls get settled. Saying goodbye before the move was too emotional for all of us.

We are looking to place her into a full-time position with a loving family. Any household would be incredibly lucky to have her. She is one in a million!!!

Please reach out if you’d like more information or would like to speak with Leona directly.

Describe Your Nanny

Yeny is a true gem. She cared for my son from the time he was 3 months old until he was 20 months old. The only reason we have parted ways is that our family relocated to the West Coast. Otherwise, we would have continued working with her for many years to come. She’s a fantastic nanny and a marvelous person. She cared for our son with tenderness, sensitivity, and focus, regularly taking him out to the park, museum, library, and to mingle with other children. I have nothing but deep gratitude for her presence in our lives. Her support was crucial in helping me and my partner navigate the transition to parenthood and then back to work.

Yeny is fully fluent in Spanish and worked with two families for several years prior to working with us, with children ranging from newborns to elementary school age. She has since also worked with another family. She helped us with everything from our son’s laundry to preparing meals when he started solids. She’s extremely proactive and kind, with a calm and stabilizing demeanor that’s comforting to kids and parents alike. We miss her so much!

Yeny is looking to work with a family in Manhattan, West New York, Jersey City, Hoboken, and possibly Long Island City or Astoria or other areas in NJ. She is initially seeking a part-time position, with availability to transition to full-time starting at the end of October. Please feel free to contact Yeny directly or to contact me here for more information.

We are sadly parting ways with our wonderful nanny of 6 years, Rosa, as our kids are getting older and looking to do more after-school classes. She will make a new family very happy, as she has ours for so long.

Rosa speaks primarily Spanish (she’s from Peru), with some English too, and is especially wonderful with babies and smaller kids. She is thoughtful and purposeful in her interactions with kids, and always organizes appropriate and exciting activities and play. She is happy to do some light cleaning and laundry, and keeps the main parts of the home in pristine condition, but isn’t looking to be a full-time housekeeper.

She is primarily looking for part-time work, approximately 30 hours a week ideally. You really can’t go wrong with Rosa, she’s a dream!

Describe Your Nanny

Our wonderful nanny Nicole is looking for her next family to love and support. Nicole has been with our family for two years, and we are now moving away and have to say goodbye. Nicole is professional, reliable, loving, experienced, and wise. She has a calm vibe and is easy to be around. She combines firm and effective boundaries with a silly playfulness that has made our children adore her. In addition to caring for our children (now ages 2 and 5), Nicole helps with their laundry, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, and preparing meals for the children. She is a good communicator, flexible with tasks, and was willing to do the needful. Nicole taught our kids independence and routines, and delighted in facilitating playdates. She is comfortable with a wide range of ages from infant through elementary. She kept our youngest safe from injury despite his adventurous tendencies, and helped teach our older child to read and write. Friends who observed Nicole with our children at the park frequently commented on how great she is with the kids. She would be a valuable addition to any household. For us, she was a tremendous source of stability, support, fun, and love.

Describe Your Nanny

The lottery win of nannies is available! Due to a cross country move, Nora – the true angel of a nanny that has cared for our kids for the past 15 years since they were babies – is available for a lucky new family in NYC. Nora is from Ecuador and speaks Spanish fluently and English very well. There is no one more hard working or devoted or decent than Nora — I pinch myself that she got to shower our family with the love and grace she has thus far. She is 53 years old and has three grown kids and several grandkids whom she loves and cares for beautifully – thus she values weekday nanny work and prefers not to travel often for work. Nora would like to work with just one baby and nurture that baby as they grow. She is able to help with light cleaning and washing clothes and cooking as related to the baby. I’m wanting to carefully select this next family with her because she deserves the very very best. If you or someone you know in NYC is seeking a nanny for their baby, please send me text: 310 560 6539 or reply here.

Beloved Long-Term Nanny Available – 11 Years with One Family (Including Twins from Birth!)

We are sadly parting ways with our incredible nanny of 11 years due to changing family needs, and we are thrilled to recommend her to another lucky family.

She began caring for our oldest child as a newborn and then lovingly cared for our twins from birth as well. She has been with us through every stage—infancy, toddlerhood, preschool, and into the school years—and has been an extraordinary presence in our children’s lives.

What sets her apart:
• 11+ years of experience with one family
• Skilled with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children
• Experienced with multiples (twins!)
• Reliable, warm, patient, and completely trustworthy
• Manages routines, meals, naps, and activities with ease
• Brings calm, joy, and structure to the household

She is truly part of our family, and we are so grateful for the love and stability she’s provided. We’d be more than happy to speak with any interested families and provide a glowing reference.

Describe Your Nanny

After nearly three years as an incredible support for our family, we are sad to be wrapping up with our nanny, Nadia, as both of our kids move into full-time school. She started with us when our son was just six months old and also cared for our daughter in the afternoons after nursery school. From the beginning, she has been a calm, loving, and steady presence in our home and has become a part of the family.

Nadia has a natural way with young kids. She is warm, patient, and genuinely engaged. Our children always looked forward to their time with her, whether they were reading stories, doing crafts, or just playing together. She has been incredibly punctual and reliable, flexible, communicative, and a true joy to have in our home.

We’re so grateful for the care she has given our family and are hoping to help connect her with another great family. Nadia is available to start within the next few weeks, please reach out to her directly if interested or to me if you’d like to speak further!

She is incredibly professional, reliable, flexible and even willing to work weekends or date nights if discussed in advance. We consider our family very lucky for having Leticia in our lives, and want to help her find her next family/position as a full time nanny.

I’m so happy to recommend Ammy, who has taken wonderful care of my two children — a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old. From the start, she was warm, reliable, and incredibly nurturing.

Ammy has a natural way with children. She’s especially great at putting my baby down for naps and keeping a consistent routine. She also makes the most delicious fried rice — my kids always looked forward to mealtimes when she was here!

With my toddler, Ammy went above and beyond. She not only played games and kept her engaged but also helped her learn how to write and draw. I was genuinely surprised and impressed by the beautiful artwork they created together — Ammy’s creativity really shines, and my daughter learned so much from her.

Ammy also helped with laundry and keeping the kids’ clothes sorted, which was a huge help for our household. She took the kids on outings to the library and playground, and I always felt they were in safe, caring hands. My daughter absolutely adores her — every time Ammy leaves, she immediately asks when she’s coming back.

Ammy’s been helping us out on weekends, and we really love having her around. She’s looking for more hours during the week. We really hope she finds a wonderful family to be part of — she truly deserves it.

Describe Your Nanny

Our amazing nanny Winnie is available for a full time position starting in August (if it’s a great fit with a certain family she is open to starting a bit earlier as well). She has been a wonderful presence in our home and has treated our children with kindness, dedication, and affection for over 4 years.

Winnie joined our family when our son was 1. Our daughter was born a year later and Winnie was an excellent addition during the early infant months. We trusted her entirely with the infant and she helped our son transition into big brotherhood.

Winnie has excelled at engaging our children in developmentally appropriate play, music, and reading.

Winnie has gone above and beyond to form connections with nannies in our neighborhood to create opportunities for daily playdates. She is very active with the kids; she takes them out on playdates, to the playground, to classes (soccer in the park, dance classes, swim classes, etc.) , on nature walks and keeps them engaged with books and play. Our children love Winnie! She is a very experienced nanny who has worked with other families long-term.

Winnie has also helped expose the children (and adults) to tasty Jamaican food!

Winnie will bring an abundance of experience, professionalism and love to her next family.

Describe Your Nanny

For two and a half years, Tsering has cared for our almost three-year-old daughter. Come September, our daughter will be in a 3’s program full-time and so we would love to help Tsering find another family to support in her incomparably tender way.

Tsering is a loving, gentle and devoted caregiver. She is unerringly punctual and reliable and has worked as a nanny on the Upper West Side since 2007 so she is more than familiar with the neighborhood. She also cooks delicious Tibetan food (never thought that our toddler’s most requested meal would be “momo”) and always leaves our apartment spotless, which it never is when she arrives! Tsering takes initiative finding fun activities for our daughter – they are usually out and about at museums or in the park, and she has facilitated socializing with a group of children around the same age who have become our daughter’s core group of playmates. Tsering has been an absolutely perfect fit for our family and we will miss her kind, sweet and calm presence in our daily lives.

Happy to answer any questions about Tsering and, of course, will enthusiastically provide her contact info upon request.

Describe Your Nanny

Sattie has been working for our family for a while now – initially looking after my second son until he started preschool and then looking after my youngest since he was 6 weeks old. We are now moving overseas for an extended period 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 squeels and kicks and flaps excitedly as soon as he hears 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 their 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.

Describe Your Nanny

We met Luz through Mommybites, and from the very first interview, she completely blew us away. We knew immediately that she would be an amazing caregiver for our daughter. Luz began her journey with our family as part of a nanny share, simultaneously caring for our five-month-old daughter and another family’s baby of the same age. She made it look effortless, seamlessly managing both infants with warmth, expertise, and care.

Luz is incredibly attentive, always proactively seeking opportunities to enrich our daughter’s days. She consistently introduces new experiences, activities, and educational moments, demonstrating a deep understanding of child development. With years of childcare experience, Luz instinctively knows how to handle any situation calmly and effectively, ensuring our daughter always feels secure, engaged, and loved.

When the other family moved away, we continued having Luz care for our daughter alone, and their bond has only grown deeper and more beautiful. Luz has truly cultivated a wonderful relationship with our daughter, who absolutely adores her. It is clear Luz views caregiving not just as a job, but as a genuine calling. Her warmth, patience, and dedication have made her feel like an integral part of our family.

As we prepare to move at the end of September, we often joke about wanting to take Luz with us—and honestly, we would if we could. She has been such an invaluable presence in our lives, shaping our daughter’s earliest years in the most positive way imaginable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Luz and are certain that any family she works with next will quickly see just how special she truly is.

Note: Luz is available for Brooklyn, Queens and Western Long Island.
