Nannies in Queens

Daniela is truly so caring and enthusiastic. She has been caring for our almost one year old since he was four months old. I have watched her adapt to his development and needs. She has found wonderful daytime activities at the libraries and also spends a lot of time at the park. She is incredible with him, flexible with his every mood and communicative with us.

Daniela knows how to properly handle breast milk and formula. She is happy to prepare meals now that he is eating solids.

Daniela always tidies up, doing any dishes used during the day and making sure toys are put away when done being used.

Daniela is also wonderful with our cats, including one who is quite temperamental.

I cannot recommend her highly enough

Yvonne was our nanny from the time our daughter was a few months old until she was 11 and she is an absolutely wonderful nanny. She is a very responsible, caring, gentle and encouraging person. I particularly appreciated how engaged she was with our daughter when at home or on regular trips to the parks, museums and around the neighborhood. She was a dream come true for our family. I frequently received compliments from other parents about how great Yvonne was with our daughter and I always felt completely secure with leaving our daughter in Yvonne’s care. We had such a great experience with her! Yvonne also has experience with newborns, including working as a baby nurse. Happy to do reference calls.

I highly recommend Tasha as a caregiver and nanny. She has worked with my three children, ages 1, 3, (from birth) and 13, and has consistently demonstrated exceptional patience, professionalism, and dedication.

She holds a master’s degree in special education and general education with certifications for grades 5–9 and 7–12 and has over 10 years of successful experience teaching math and science. Her educational background has been invaluable in helping my children academically. She regularly assisted my 13-year-old with homework and test preparation, including support for state exams, and found creative, age-appropriate ways to help my 3-year-old develop early learning skills.

Beyond academics, she easily builds strong relationships with children of all ages. She is attentive to each child’s individual needs and does an excellent job balancing learning, fun, and structure. She enjoys taking children to parks, museums, aquariums, zoos, libraries, and other local activities that encourage exploration and learning.

In addition to childcare, she has also been willing to help occasionally with household tasks such as children’s laundry and organizing when needed. The kids are her priority, and she ensures that they are in a well-functioning environment. One of her greatest strengths is her flexibility—she adapts well to changing schedules and family needs and is always dependable and accommodating with proper communication.

She has been a tremendous support to our family, and I would confidently recommend her to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable, reliable, and engaging nanny. Her combination of educational expertise, childcare experience, and genuine love for children makes her an outstanding caregiver.

This is a reference for Anita Rock. Anita has been our family’s nanny for our three children (who are now 9, 8, and 5) over the past three years. She has been a “super nanny” – in every sense of the phrase.

Prior to coming to us, Anita had worked over the course of nearly 30 years with two other families, both (obviously) for extended periods of time. When we spoke to them, they truly raved about her, about her commitment, her communications, and the degree to which she became a critical part of their families.

Anita has every bit lived up to this in her work with us and our children. She is genuinely a third parent – takes deep ownership over her job; has (almost unbelievably) not taken a day off in three years; is open to working when sick, when the family needs it; is genuinely and remarkably always on time, and in fact early much of the time.

For us, Anita arrives for us at 7:30 in the morning, makes our three kids breakfast (she loves to cook), gets them packed up and ready for school, helps get them out the door, and then brings 1 or 2 of them to school. During the time that they are at school, she makes beds, organizes the house, gets groceries, runs errands (indeed sometimes suggests errands that need to be run, then does them), and does any pre-work required for dinner prep. She then manages school pick-ups and shuttling our eldest two around Brooklyn for after school activities, play-dates, etc.

Our three kids are now nine, eight, and five – and Anita has been with us for three years, so since they were six, five, and two. Throughout, she has been impeccable in terms of parent-level communications – and also has simply brought a tremendous amount of love to the household. She worked deeply with our children to get to know them, to understand them. When she started, our oldest wasn’t super happy about having a new nanny – as he had spent several years with a prior nanny – and he showed up with some attitude. We were impressed at how Anita was able to work with him to win his trust and forge a strong relationship, despite his initial reticence. Our daughter got really into knitting, as an after school activity over the past year, so Anita decided to take it up with her – and now they knit together at home. And for our youngest, she has effectively raised him from when he was an early toddler – with non-stop love and affection throughout.

Anita, as a third parent, is able to lean into structure and discipline where needed. She ensures our kids show up with good manners and take ownership for different parts of their lives. This includes piano lessons, homework, chores – but also instilling good values, etc. This also very much jives with what we heard from prior families. When we were considering working with her, two of the kids she previously worked with, then in college, wrote us the sweetest letters about the many ways in which Anita shaped them as people.

We’re super super sad to be losing Anita, but we needed to shift to a part-time arrangement, which didn’t work for her, so we are now really motivated to help her find an amazing new family. She truly is a gem and will be an incredible fit for some lucky home. Anita lives in NYC, so this would be for a live-out position. We would be more than happy to jump on a phone call and share more details or answer questions!!

Gloria has been an incredible part of our family and has cared for our children with the same love, attention, and dedication as if they were her own. At times, it feels like she is taking care of all of us, not just the kids. She is exceptionally caring, attentive, patient, and engaged every single day.

She is constantly reading with the children, planning activities, taking them outdoors, and keeping them active and stimulated. She takes them to the library multiple times a week and genuinely enjoys helping them learn, explore, and grow. Everywhere we go, people in town recognize her and often stop us to compliment how attentive and interactive she is with the children.

She starts and ends every day with our kids with a big hug and a smile. Not once has she ever come in with a “bad mood” — she consistently brings warmth, positivity, and energy into our home every single day.

She has been with our oldest son since he was just 3 months old and has played a massive role in helping both children become happy, emotionally intelligent, creative, and confident. She is also incredibly dependable and always willing to stay extra time when needed to help us transition from work or handle last-minute responsibilities.

Our lives truly would not be the same without her. The impact she has had on our family and especially on our children has been immeasurable. We are incredibly invested in finding her a wonderful new family!

We are moving out of New York this summer, and losing Tashi is the hardest part of leaving. She has been the cornerstone of our household for the last four years, caring for our daughter Anya from age 1 to 5 and our son Savan from infancy to age 3. If we were staying, we would keep her forever.
Every recommendation says similar things: reliable, loving, great with kids. Tashi is all of those things, but that does not come close to covering it.

1. She handles emergencies better than we do.
When our toddler took a serious fall and cut his tongue, Tashi assessed the situation and insisted he needed to see a doctor right away. While we got the emergency dentist appointment set up, she took him there herself and managed the entire situation calmly. She handled it entirely, and better than we would have.

When both my husband and I had our flights canceled and were stranded out of town at the same time, Tashi stayed overnight without being asked. She managed bedtime, handled the morning, and kept everything completely normal. By the time we got home, the kids had not even registered that anything unusual had happened.

2. She thinks about the whole child, not just the hours.
Without anyone asking her to, Tashi makes sure our kids video call their grandparents regularly during the day.

She taught Anya the alphabet at two years and three months. By three, she was weaving math into ordinary moments throughout the day. Handing her blueberries, she would ask, “If I give you two more, how many will you have?”

Her discipline is worth calling out as well. She holds high standards for behavior but is never harsh. She is firm and calm in a way that makes the kids feel safe rather than managed. Because of her, both kids know how to communicate their feelings and practice emotional self-regulation, which is not easy to teach.

Both their favorite birthday gifts are always the ones that Tashi gets. She knows both their interests so deeply, and the connection they have is incredibly special. Anya loves school, but she still occasionally asks to skip just so she can spend the day with Tashi instead.

3. She builds their world with total initiative
Tashi does not wait to be told what to do. She completely takes the initiative to plan their days, keeping them physically active and entirely screen-free. She is constantly organizing trips to Governors Island, the zoo, and all over New York because she is always thinking about what will enrich their lives. Savan is obsessed with transit, and she regularly plans ferry boat rides, bus rides, and train rides just for him to explore.

She has also made many fellow nanny friends in the neighborhood and constantly has different playdates and activities organized for the kids. Because of her proactive nature, our children have a wonderful social life.

4. The fundamentals are flawless.
She plans and prepares three fresh, wholesome, and nutritious meals for the children every day. She keeps the kids’ spaces tidy and manages their laundry. When it came to potty training, she was an incredible partner; she even devised a sticker chart system entirely on her own that motivated both children and helped immensely. Logistically, she is an exceptional communicator and is always punctual, professional, and reliable.
Other parents from Anya’s school have tracked me down independently just to tell me how amazing Tashi is and how different she is from other nannies they see at pickup and drop-off.

We are completely devastated to lose her. She is a rare gem who will become a loved extension of your family. Please reach out if you want to talk; I would happily discuss of this on the phone/text.

Our amazing nanny, Danielle, is looking for a new family!

Danielle took care of our older son two years ago, and then (thankfully!) agreed to work with us again this year for a four-month stint before our baby starts daycare in mid-May.

Danielle immediately bonded with both of our kids, and helped us navigate various transitions during their infancy — eating solids, drinking from a cup, transitioning nap schedules, you name it. She’s warm and caring, while at the same time fiercely protective, which has always made me feel at ease when I’m gone for the day. Danielle also believes in talking to kids clearly and directly, which has helped our sons develop their language skills.

It has always been clear that Danielle views her role, in part, as being our sons’ biggest advocate. For both of them, that’s meant helping them build confidence at the play gym or park — 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 her.

I can’t recommend her highly enough!

It is with both gratitude and sadness that I write this reference for our incredible nanny, who has been with our family for the past 2.5 years. She has been such a meaningful part of our lives, and it is only due to my recent job relocation to another state that we are parting ways.
From the very beginning, she brought warmth, reliability, and genuine care into our home. She consistently created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our children, always going above and beyond to support their growth and happiness. Her patience, attentiveness, and ability to connect with them on their level made a lasting impact not just on them, but on our entire family.
She always made sure the kids had meaningful interaction throughout the day by organizing playdates and taking them to classes, keeping them active, social, and engaged.
She is dependable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Whether it was managing daily routines, planning activities, or simply being a steady and comforting presence, she handled everything with professionalism and heart. I always felt completely at ease knowing my children were in her care.
Beyond her role as a caregiver, she truly became part of our family. Her kindness, positivity, and strong work ethic are qualities that any household would be lucky to have.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy, dedicated, and loving nanny. She will be deeply missed, and any family would be fortunate to have her.
Please feel free to reach out at 929-232-4297 if you have any questions.

Natasha has been the nanny for our three children, but spending more of her time caring for our son over the past year, starting when he was 9 months old. She is incredible patient and loving with him, taking him outside to parks morning and evening to meet his friends.

Natasha prepares all of his food and snacks, and picks up my older children from school, taking them to the park, ensuring their home work is done. At home she also helps keep our apartment tidy (which is no small feat for a family of 5) and helps me with the kids laundry. She is also flexible to come early and stay late when I need her to.

We really want to help her find her next family!

Our beloved former nanny of nine years, Anita O’Reilly, is looking for full-time employment. Anita was hard working, conscientious, affectionate, and a true partner in raising our children. She managed both kids’ school and activity schedules, and she easily handled both children at home, out at playgrounds, at indoor facilities when the weather is bad, and getting to and from all of these places. She was always punctual and is a reliable employee. Most of all, it was a blessing to be able to leave the house every morning knowing that our children would be with someone who will treat them as her own children. My son said all the time that he wanted Anita to stay at our house and spend the night; he thought of her as part of the family and couldn’t understand why she had to go somewhere else once I got home each day. He even coined the term “mommynita” to refer to the two of us. When my husband arrived home before I did, he always commented to me later that evening how happy he was with the way Anita interacted with the kids. Both sets of grandparents made similar comments, as did our neighbors.

I am happy to speak by phone with anyone who is considering hiring Anita to care for their child or children. We want to do whatever we can to help her find a new family to work for! She can be reached at (917) 405-9842.

Rebecca

Our incredible nanny, Crystal, is looking for a new family to work with full time starting in June! Official start date is flexible.

She has experience in childcare for over 10 years and has cared and managed the schedules for babies 3 months to 10 years old. She has been very engaged and involved in caring for our baby boy  since he was 3 months old, has planned light activities, and taken him to nearby classes and playgrounds.

Crystal is CPR/AED/First Aid certified  and has multiple certificates from the University of Albany in the supervision and caring for babies and children.

Crystal is available after 7:30pm for the occasional date nights and with an uber provided back.

Raissatou is very professional , polite, she is always punctual, reliable and very caring with my kids.

Katharine is a graduate student at NYU with 13 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to adolescents. She is warm, creative, responsible, reliable, and safety-oriented, and creates a caring, engaging environment where children can thrive.

She has extensive experience with homework help, creative play and activities, meal prep, bedtime and nap schedules, bottle feeding, diapers and potty training, bath time, administering medication, coordinating playdates and classes, and navigating NYC with children via public transit and taxis. She also loves reading, the arts, science, cooking, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play.

Nellie has been a responsible, and devoted babysitter for us for the past 15 years, and has helped us raise our twins from infancy thru to becoming mature teenagers. She is reliable, trustworthy, and will work overtime and on short notice to help your family thrive and give the parents much needed time for themselves. She always is eager to help in household tasks and has gone out of her way to make sure our youngster’s feel loved and protected, and so that their needs are well attended to.

We are sadly parting ways with our nanny, Sherieka, who has been with us since March 2025, as we are moving out of the city. She first joined us as our night nurse and transitioned into a full-time position when I returned to work.

Sherieka is truly fantastic and everything you could hope for in a nanny. She is incredibly reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional, and communicative and simply a pure joy to be around. She is highly proactive and takes wonderful initiative in planning my daughter’s days, bringing her to classes, the playground, the park, the library, and outings with peers. They have created such a wonderful bond, and it is evident that my daughter loves her so much.

Sherieka brings such a positive, fun energy while also maintaining a calm and steady presence. She has taught my daughter so much, including sign language, songs, and more, which has been incredibly valuable for her development. Most importantly, I completely trust her judgment and know she always has my daughter’s best interests at heart, especially when I’m at work.

I can’t say enough positive things about her, and we will truly, truly miss her as she has become an incredible part of our family. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Our beloved nanny Olga will be available starting July 1 for a new full-time position (30+ hours/week) as we are finishing medical training and moving out of NY. Olga began caring for my daughter when she was 9 weeks old when I returned to work and has been with us for two years. My partner and I have both been in medical training during this time and her flexibility adjusting her hours to our rotation schedule and her dependability afforded us so much peace of mind. She is fluent in both English and Spanish and is based in Woodside, Queens.

Some highlights:

✔️ 40 years of experience caring for babies and young children
✔️ Committed to screen-free childcare and age-appropriate development (I attribute much of my daughter’s friendliness and language development to her)
✔️ Deeply patient, warm, and nurturing
✔️ Ensured a well-balanced, nutritious diet every single day
✔️ Successfully helped potty train my daughter at 2 years old
✔️ Kept my daughter’s room tidy and managed her laundry
✔️ Flexible with hours, including weekends

She would be an incredible asset to any family and we cannot recommend her highly enough. We wish we could move her with us to our next location but we are moving out of the country.

If you are looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and deeply caring nanny — especially for a newborn — please reach out.

Gloria has been an incredible part of our family and has cared for our children with the same love, attention, and dedication as if they were her own. At times, it feels like she is taking care of all of us, not just the kids. She is exceptionally caring, attentive, patient, and engaged every single day.

She is constantly reading with the children, planning activities, taking them outdoors, and keeping them active and stimulated. She takes them to the library multiple times a week and genuinely enjoys helping them learn, explore, and grow. Everywhere we go, people in town recognize her and often stop us to compliment how attentive and interactive she is with the children.

She starts and ends every day with our kids with a big hug and a smile. Not once has she ever come in with a “bad mood” — she consistently brings warmth, positivity, and energy into our home every single day.

She has been with our oldest son (6) since he was just 3 months old and our daughter since she was born (4). Gloria has played a massive role in helping both children become happy, emotionally intelligent, creative, smart and confident. She is also incredibly dependable and always willing to stay extra time when needed to help us transition from work, handle last-minute responsibilities or squeeze in a date night.

She was so comforting and reassuring when she came into our lives as new parents and has grown to become a part of our family.

Our lives truly would not be the same without her. The impact she has had on our family and especially on our children has been immeasurable.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to highly recommend Lesley Ann Stephenson, who has worked with my family for over five years. She has been an exceptional caregiver and has consistently gone above and beyond in providing outstanding care and support for my children.
Lesley ensures that all of my children’s needs are met each day. She assists with school pickups, makes sure homework is completed, and prepares dinner for the children regularly. By the time I arrive home, the children are clean, settled, and ready for bed, which has been an incredible help to our family.
In addition to caring for the children, Lesley also helps with light housekeeping duties, complementing the work of our weekly housekeeper and helping keep our home organized and running smoothly.
What truly sets Lesley apart is the genuine bond she has built with my children. As they have grown older, they continue to love spending time with her and enjoy her company immensely. She has become a trusted and valued part of our family. We have even invited her to travel with us on vacations because of the trust, reliability, and comfort she brings.
Lesley is truly a treasure, and any family would be fortunate to have her as a caregiver. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Andrea (aka Jackie) highly enough! Words truly fall short, but I will try.

Jackie is, quite simply, the embodiment of the phrase “above and beyond.” From day 1, her presence will bring a level of peace, competence, and grounded confidence into your home that you likely didn’t even realize was missing.

Jackie is a quintessential NYC Nanny, and as such, she is currently seeking a quintessential NYC Nanny position: Long term and full-time, ideally with an infant or toddler. She is open to All of New York City and Northern NJ as well. (Hoboken/Weehawken, Edgewater, Bergen County, etc)

Where should I even begin? She is college-educated with over 20 years of childcare experience, and fluent/bilingual in English and Spanish, which in itself is an incredible gift for your children.

Her approach to childcare is exceptional and deeply rooted in modern, respectful, gentle philosophies. When I first met her, she said with total confidence: “RIE and Montessori, that is simply WHAT I DO!!!” Man oh man she absolutely meant it! She embodies these methods in a way that is both knowledgeable and deeply human/relatable. She understands infant and toddler development intuitively and responds to children with patience, respect, and remarkable skill, especially in tricky toddler moments.

I am a mom of 2 under 2, and during my postpartum period, Jackie quite literally helped bring my entire household back to life. She didn’t just “help.” She jumped right in, restored order, calmness, and warmth to what was an overwhelming season of pure chaos before she stepped in. She instinctively knows how to support every single member of the family, maintains discretion, yet proactively meets every need without being asked. When Jackie rings the bell, it genuinely feels like a weight lifts off your shoulders instantly.

Beyond childcare, which is her specialty, Jackie’s cooking and household skills are also are pristine. Her food is not just nourishing, it is genuinely made with appreciation of culture, love, and care.

Jackie always took the initiative to plan thoughtful neighborhood outings, engaging activities, and enriching experiences for the children, both indoors and outdoors. She moves through the city with the confidence of a “city-slicker” and arrives punctually.

Most importantly, Jackie genuinely LOVES what she does, which unfortunately is rare to find in today’s time. Being a Nanny is not just a paycheck to her, it’s her life’s work and she’s proud to put her name on it every single day.

Your children will be loved, understood, active, and fully immersed in Spanish if Jackie is part of your home. I promise you, the entire household will function better, calmer, and happier because of her presence! I know it’s overwhelming to find a Nanny, so do yourself a favor and stop interviewing others. SHE IS THE ONE!

We are relocating after nearly seven years with the most exceptional nanny our family could have ever hoped for, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

She joined us when our daughter was a newborn and has been a steady, trusted, beloved part of our family ever since. Over those years, she has demonstrated extraordinary skill, intuition, and dedication at every stage of our daughter’s development — from infant care to toddlerhood to the busy, full world of a soon-to-be seven-year-old.

Her strengths are many: she is organized and reliable, communicative and collaborative with parents, imaginative and engaged with our daughter, and unshakably calm in any situation. She has always come to us as a true partner proactively sharing updates, flagging concerns thoughtfully.

Beyond her capabilities, she is simply a wonderful person- kind, trustworthy, and genuinely devoted to the children in her care. Our daughter adores her. We adore her. Letting her go is one of the hardest parts of this move, and we do so only knowing that another family is about to receive something very special.
