Parent Reference

I don't know what we would have done this year without Toya. She is bright, hardworking and wonderful with our boys. In the midst of such a challenging year, she jumped in to watch our kids and has been incredible - here are some examples: 1) She academically inclined and supported our kids hybrid + remote learning - including enrichment activities 2) She's energetic - which is particularly great with our two little guys who have energy to burn - and thinks of creative and fun ways to engage them physically, inside and outside our home 3) She's social and connected - she's instigated new friendships and playdates for the kids, and been particularly good at figuring out who the kids will "click" with 4) She's incredibly reliable and a good communicator - it's been a tremendous load off our minds to know that she's a steady, supportive presence, an essential in a caretaker 5) She's got a wonderful personality, is unflappable, and bonded with our guys quickly Our family is aging out of needing full time care and we are committed to helping Toya find other great families. I really can't recommend her highly enough. She's worked for us full time this year - and has been a steadying, reliable and warm presence in our household.

I am here posting on behalf of my nanny, Yolanda. Yolanda has over 20 years of experience and multiple references from the families she has helped over the years. She has been with my family for two years ever since our daughter Ana was born, but we are leaving NY and unfortunately cannot take her with us. I believe that it is easy to find a nanny that will look after a child but extremely hard to find one that will engage with them and develop them. Yolanda's engagement with Ana includes potty training her before age 2, teaching her about letters, colors, and numbers, and keeping her happy and healthy. She is always punctual, available when needed, and has a great disposition and attitude. As first-time parents, we benefited from a nanny that has all of her experience and took the lead from her in more than one occasion. I honestly think that she is a large part of why our daughter is so advanced. She also has a strong network in Brooklyn and helped introduce Ana to many new friends in the area. I would most definitely encourage you to chat with her and see if she is a good fit.

Parent Reference

Marcy is a wonderful and loving caregiver and all around lovely person (ask anyone in our building--doormen, other children, other parents). She joined our family when our son was 4 months old (he's now 4) and was with us through the birth of our daughter, now 1. We couldn't have imagined these last 4 years without her. We have always been able to count on her 100%--she is never late, never calls in sick, works her vacation time around ours and has always been incredibly flexible if we need her to come early or stay late. She has a calm and peaceful way about her, is excellent with babies and has incredible patience. Toddler tantrums never rattle her. It has given me incredible peace of mind these past 4 years knowing my children are in Marcy's safe hands. We couldn't have asked for a more kind and nurturing person to look after our children and are so sad to be saying goodbye to her (we are moving out of NYC). We would like nothing more than to help her find a new family.

Parent Reference

Tenzin has been with us for over 3.5 years, since my daughter was 4 months old. Tenzin has done a wonderful job caring for my daughter from the early infant stages through the toddler years. I’ve always appreciated Tenzin’s good judgement, calm demeanor and ability to keep my daughter safe at home, while going to classes or in the park. From the beginning, Tenzin understood the importance of reading to my child at a very early age, and has played an important role in advancing her development throughout the years (including fixing her nap schedule, potty training and teaching her how to properly hold a pen to write letters). Tenzin is an excellent chef and knows how to prepare fresh, healthy and delicious food throughout the baby/toddler years, which has been incredibly helpful. My daughter loves her and will miss her dearly (especially all of the good times they had playing together!) but we have moved out of NYC and Tenzin is understandably looking to be closer to her family. She is fully COVID-19 vaccinated. We highly recommend Tenzin and know that she will be a wonderful addition to your family, as she was to ours. Please feel free to reach out to Tenzin directly.

Availability: Full time, Desired start 2021-07-12

Cook: Yes, for kids only
Laundry: Yes, for kids only
Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only

Parent Reference

Sinovya has been with us for almost 5 years, since my first daughter was 3 months old. Our children love her, and they are always happy to hear that it's a "Sisi" day. She has many strengths, and we are so sad that she won't be in our daily lives anymore. Initially, we hired her because of how easy going and calm she was. She is never fazed by a meltdown, or a baby having a particularly fussy day. She never raises her voice or loses her patience. As our children got older, she was amazing at finding playdates. She creates a consistent schedule that involves time outside, but also prevents the girls from being overstimulated or exhausted at the end of the day. She always allows time for unstructured play, and follows their lead to play blocks or restaurants or color. She cares so much about our girls. She makes the best and most elaborate snacks that I will never live up to, and always brings special treats that they totally adore. Even the books that she would choose to bring home reflect how well she knows their interests and what will make them happy, and she reads to them constantly. She is reliable and prompt. She has been working with children her whole career, and all of her references gave glowing reviews. She is very COVID careful, and fully vaccinated. She will work early and late as needed, (she’s been extremely accommodating whenever we need a helping hand) just prefers not to on a regular basis.

Babita is a wonderful nanny and we were fortunate to have her help with the growth and development of our two children. Our children adored and respected her, it is a very natural relationship. Babita worked with us for a few years but unfortunately due to Covid, we are not consistently in the NYC area. Babita has continued to stay in touch and be a part of the family's memories. She is kind, calm and very supportive of the children and their needs while respectful and understanding of the parent's preferences. She is flexible with helping the family throughout the day (i.e. grocery shop, meal prep, and misc. errands that help the children and family). We highly recommend Babita for any families looking for a kind, calm, honest and kind extension to their children's overall care.

Parent Reference

Experience: Full time care of two girls from birth to present (15 plus years with us) Professional Responsibilities: full range of care of the girls from infants to teenagers including maintaining sleep schedules, girls’ laundry, light cleaning, shopping/preparing meals, planning playdates, school drop off and pick up, supervising after school activities, doctor and dentist appointments, and anything else the girls need Personal Qualities: Loving, responsible, honest, creative, practical, curious, intelligent, fun, calm, punctual, neat, active, flexible, social, attentive, patient, excellent communication and listening skills, organized, independent, energetic, kind, moral, team player Qualifications: CPR/First Aid certified, Clean background check, Fully vaccinated for COVID Asha has been employed by my family for over 15 years, and indeed is really a part of the family. Both of the girls are now teenagers and can move around the city independently after school and we no longer need full time help with them. I would (and do) trust her with anything regarding my children. Both my husband and I work full time so having Asha fully in charge was essential. She is great with children of all ages: Babies: With multiple children and grandchildren of her own, as well as 20 plus years as a professional nanny, Asha knows more about babies than I have forgotten. She has amazing instincts for soothing them and is able to work closely in partnership with parents as she did with us to work out feeding routines, sleeping schedules, play time etc. She has lots of energy, and is gentle and loving yet firm. She is incredibly focused on safety, health and cleanliness at all times. Toddlers/Preschoolers: As the girls and their friends grew up, Asha always had ideas for activities to entertain them. She read to them, sang, played games, did art project and baked with them. They were able to take full advantage of the neighborhood with trips to the children’s museum, Museum of Natural History, Central Park zoo and park and playgrounds. She prepared nutritious/delicious food for them and always was prepared with snacks, band aids and hugs for any contingency. She gained the respect of other parents and teachers at the girls’ preschool through her excellent care and guidance of the girls. Kindergarten/Elementary/Middle School/High School: this is a wide range, but through all these years, Asha has been supportive of the girls’ academic studies (at Metropolitan Montessori and now Brearley), athletic extracurriculars, and other activities. They love and trust her judgment, as do I. She knows children throughout all their growth stages, celebrates their successes and is unsurprised by the challenges. She is happy to take direction from us as parents but also to take initiative to get things done and has more common sense than most people I know. She would be a wonderful addition to any family. Your child(ren) will be healthy, safe, flourishing and loved in her care. Please text to set up a call with any questions or contact Asha directly. Best, Anne

Our fabulous nanny, Ava, will be available this summer in June. Our loss is your gain! Ava has taken care of our 2 year old son since the day we brought him home from the hospital. She started as our baby nurse (she has extensive newborn experience) and seamlessly transitioned into our nanny as he grew. She is now also watching our newborn so can handle multiple kids, easily. We are in awe of how much our son has learned in his first years. Ava is a fantastic teacher and is so creative when it comes to activities, especially on those rainy days. She is also incredibly social. During this crazy year, on her own, she formed a fantastic pod for our son who he hangs out with every day and takes classes with. We couldn't have asked for a better crew. Ava cooks delicious meals for my son and does all of his laundry. She is looking for a full time live-out position and is open to location. She is flexible on hours, happily staying for the occasional date night. Ava has never taken a sick day and shows up 5 minutes early every single day. She is extremely COVID-conscious and fully vaccinated. She also has multiple references and keeps in touch with other families she has worked with. My son jumps into Ava's arms every morning, which says it all. Ava will be a fantastic addition to your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Our family is now in the process of moving upstate, but we are truly heartbroken to lose Deb. When we first spoke with Deb, we instantly knew she was the nanny we had been looking for. Deb is a warm, caring, loving, and professional nanny who has a great deal of experience and wisdom. She puts all of her energy into our son – Deb is constantly engaging him – from singing her extensive collection of songs and nursery rhymes to helping him reach the next step in his development in a fun way. She is also very patient and gentle with him, while also anticipating his needs – something that was extremely important to us. Deb’s positive energy and calming presence quickly made her a seamless part of our family. As first-time parents we were so anxious to have someone take care of our six-month-old son. We immediately felt at ease with Deb and she quickly earned our trust. She truly loves and cares for our son like her own. She cares deeply about his wellbeing and genuinely becomes excited and feels proud when he achieves even the smallest of milestones. Deb is very easygoing and approachable to work with, offering reassuring advice and helpful suggestions without forcing them. She is highly experienced and has great insight about childhood development and behaviors. Likewise, Deb is very receptive and open to your preferences, like adopting a specific schedule or routine. In addition, she’s extremely observant and detail-oriented and highlights small changes in his day-to-day behavior. Deb is also proactive and goes the extra mile in our home, whether it’s tidying up in the kitchen or preparing extra meals for our son. At the end of the day, Deb wants to make sure his things are organized and no task is left undone. She once explained that she likes to do as much as she can, so that we can spend quality time with our son. When Deb arrives in the morning, our son lights up and beams with excitement. When she’s heading home, she plays peek-a-boo by popping her head through the crack of the door, which – without fail – makes our son giggle. They truly have so much fun together and their connection is so special. We will miss Deb so much. We hope it’s clear why we care so much about her and want to make sure she finds the right family. It’s been a privilege for our son to be cared for by Deb and any child would benefit from the diligent care and generous attention she provides. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Deb's phone number: 347-601-7312

She adores our children and they adore her. She has a large extended family and is deeply involved with the many children in her life. From the moment she sat down for her interview all those years ago, until now, we realized that someone very special had come in to our lives. We cannot recommend her enough.

We are looking for a new family for our amazing nanny Paulette. She has been taking care of my daughter since she was 3 months old for almost 2 years and I cannot say enough nice things about her. The minute she walks in every morning, she has a smile on her face. She is incredibly reliable & flexible; always willing & able to work late or come in early whenever we are in a pinch & need the help. Beyond that though, she is sweet, caring, loving, attentive & patient. As a first time mom going back to work, leaving my baby was unthinkable until we found Paulette and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my baby in her safe hands. Day-to-day her responsibilities have shifted from when my daughter was a baby to now a toddler. Paulette is wonderful with babies She has 20 years of experience and she know everything. What I appreciated is that if you need advice, she knows what to do but she always respects that mother knows best and will do whatever is asked. I am very particular and she always respected that. Now that my daughter is a toddler she comes up with endless activities for her. She has a huge focus on development and really knows how to keep her having fun while learning. At home, she’s a great help as well, cooking dinner, doing laundry for the kids 2x week and cleaning up when there is down time. Paulette preference is to care for a baby so she can stay with the family as kids grow but she can be flexible. She can do up to 2 kids and no pets. Lastly, while she can always stay over for an evening or sniffy, she doesn’t travel with families. She is looking for a full time job 5x week.

Sharon is a caring, patient knowledgeable nanny who loves our girls deeply and has truly become part of our family over the past 3 years. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state and have to say goodbye to her. Sharon has been our full-time nanny (M-F, 8-6) for the past three years. We hired her when our first daughter was born and she now cares for both our girls (now ages 3 and 1). She has helped our girls grow into the smart, outgoing girls that they are. She loves getting them outside as much as possible and takes the initiative to arrange play dates as well as trips to the zoo, museum and music classes. She has helped us navigate COVID making sure our kids were kept safe, while helping them get social interaction that is important for their development. Sharon has the patience of a saint. She regularly redirects our 3-year-olds temper tantrums. These have been infrequent, likely thanks to Sharon's calm, level-headed demeanor. As a nanny for 20+ years and mom herself, she is amazing with newborns, always knowing what to do even when I did not! She is also very active, regularly walking the girls all over the UWS to different playgrounds. I never have to worry about the girls sleeping well at night :) She is also very reliable. She always on-time and has literally never called out sick. She helps around the house as needed with light cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, etc. Sharon is such a special person and we hope to find her a great home soon.

Hello! I am posting for my gem of a nanny Pooja who has been taking care of my son since he was 3 months old - he is about to turn 2. We have to relocate to Connecticut due to job reasons so she will be available mid June. My husband and I are both physicians and I have not had to worry at all during the day when we are both gone. I felt like with Pooja - a family member was taking care of him during the day. She is educated herself, and reads and sings to him all the time. She cooks fresh healthy organic food for him daily, gave him ayurvedic baby massages, and got him on a healthy regular sleeping and eating schedule. She has kept our apartment clean, does his laundry, and organizes his things effortlessly. We will really miss her so much.

Bibi (pronounced BeeBee) has been with us full-time for over 5 years, and she would be with us for another 5 years if we weren’t unexpectedly moving out of Manhattan. We have two boys, currently 5 and 3, and she has been an integral part of our family since our oldest was 3 months old. She is truly one of the best nannies we have ever encountered, and we have gotten used to other parents and family members asking us “Where did you find her? She is amazing.” Bibi is warm, energetic, smart, reliable, highly-experienced and incredibly easy to work with and be around. Her patience, encouragement and engagement with our active boys at every age is admirable and her motivation to do activities, classes, arrange playdates and be outside are unmatched. She has proven to be comfortable and capable in all situations and with the boys at all ages. Over the last five years we have never once worried about the children when they are in her care. I will never forget when my husband and I were out of the country and our youngest developed RSV, requiring daily trips to the pediatrician and a nebulizer. During this scary time, Bibi truly shined, so much so that our pediatrician called me specifically to share how impressed she was at Bibi’s calm demeanor and capabilities. Bibi has been with just a few families for extended amounts of time and keeps in close contact with them. She is invited to their graduations and family events, decades after being in their everyday lives, a testament to how truly special a caregiver she is. Our boys absolutely adore her and love spending time with her. We are so grateful for the time she has been with us and while incredibly sad, we’re also excited that another family will get to experience her.

Pauline is an intelligent, friendly and engaging nanny! She started with our family when our first child was an infant, stayed through the birth of our second child and in total was with us for 6+ years. (We only let her go when I decided to be a stay-at-home parent.) Pauline was fantastic about finding neighborhood activities to do with the kids, always getting them outside and taking part in our community. Pauline is smart with a good sense of humor and a great person to partner with regarding the care of your kids! She read to the kids all the time, doing letters, numbers, singing, imaginative play, etc. - all the early childhood stimulation that they needed to be well-prepared for school. The kids love her and looked forward to her arrival. She was never late and extremely reliable. The apartment was always tidied, she took care of the kids' laundry and meals and would sometimes run helpful errands for us if it worked out with the day's schedule. She handled school drop-off and pick-up and kept us in-the-loop, communicating clearly any messages from teachers, etc. She was very respectful of our preferences or boundaries but also is a problem-solver who can anticipate what needs to be done. We are still in touch with Pauline, our kids adore her, and our neighbors still ask after her.

Wilma was with our family for almost 14 years, since our daughter (J.) was 4 months old, at which point I returned back to work post maternity leave. She is very responsible, always on time, thoughtful, and diligent. Most importantly, she is a very safe, loving, gentle, supportive, and caring person. This was a crucial quality to me, as I felt her calm, patient demeanor would be beneficial to our daughter, which was true. For me the most important thing as a new mother was that J. was safe and loved, particularly as I was away at work - which is exactly what we got with Wilma. She was with J. through every stage: infant, toddlerhood, preschool, childhood and pre-teen years - and J. loves her very much. She is lightly supporting us now, but understandably wants to have a deeper level of engagement, so I want to help Wilma find another nice, loving family. She is happy to start caring for an infant again, or she is also happy to care for children in older stage ages - she is very flexible . We live on the UWS, but she is totally fine with other places in Manhattan and Brooklyn. She is extremely safe and conscientious about COVID, masking, hand sanitizing/wash etc. She is a kind soul, and she is a very important person to us, so I am taking an active role in helping her find a family. If any of you are in need of a nanny, or know someone who might be, please feel free to contact me at the 646# or you may contact her directly at the 917#. Thank you so much.

Our family’s caregiver of 9 years, Denise Bryan, is available immediately for a new full-time position, Monday through Friday. Hire her to watch your baby in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens. We are heartbroken at letting her go, but our kids are now in school full-time. It's a cliché, but Denise took care of our two kids as if they were her own. She is trustworthy and patient and always engaged. She read to them, played games, and sang them to sleep at nap time. She charmed the ornery children's librarian so our kids always had slots at storytime. Everywhere we went around the neighborhood, people would say hello to her and our children. She took our kids to the playground and zoo camp and dance lessons. Our children always felt protected and loved. She respected all our decisions. She is health-conscious, and took precautions with our daughter’s food allergy. Even when she faced a medical emergency, she handled it exactly as we would have done. Denise is certified in infant care, and would love the opportunity to help with a baby again, but is open to all opportunities. She recently updated her CPR certification and has a valid drivers license. We wholeheartedly recommend her. We consider it one of our greatest feats as parents that we were able to keep another family from stealing Denise away from us. Please snap her up now.
