Parent Reference

Marclyn has been with our family for ten years, joining us when my son was two. In that time she has never been late for work and has taken so few sick days I can't even recall her being out. She and my son share a birthday and from day one they have had a special bond that is genuine and visible. In the days when my son hung out in the playground I always had parents commenting on their relationship and her focus and attention on the kids. She is highly responsible, smart and capable and I trust her explicitly. I am a single parent and travel extensively for work so Marclyn is my wingman. She keeps our household running, maintaining a spotless home and stocked fridge. But most importantly she has helped me nurture a caring, thoughtful child and for that I am very grateful. When I was hiring Marclyn and spoke with her references one family with whom she had worked for many years told me how she had taught their child with learning disabilities to read and to become a passionate reader. Not sure what her magic is but my son is a consumptive reader who can sit for hours lost in a book. Now that I have a middle schooler our needs have changed. I have posted this looking for part or full time. I would love to keep her on a reduced schedule but realize that may not work for everyone. If part time works for you, great, we can share, but I realize I may have to let go and allow her to raise more incredible beings.

Parent Reference

Anita has been with us for over 11 wonderful years. Our four children are now all in school, so we unfortunately no longer need a nanny. It can be so stressful to find someone loving, engaging and trustworthy to care for your child, but we always had peace of mind knowing our children were with Anita. Anita’s previous employer provided a glowing reference, and from the very first day with us, Anita has been warm, happy and upbeat, devoted, and incredibly responsible. She is fantastic with children of all ages. With our newborns Anita was attentive, engaging and loving, and helped to get them adjusted to a schedule. As our kids grew Anita actively played with them, teaching numbers, colors, and the alphabet, and creating fun crafts. Anita often took them to the library and to play in parks around the neighborhood, fostering their curiosity and learning, and helping our children to create long-lasting friendships with other kids in our community. Our children have a deep bond with Anita, and our oldest even exchanged letters with Anita when she was away at summer camp, because they missed each other. Many parents in the neighborhood have gone out of their way over the years to tell me how terrific Anita is. She has strong values, is a devoted wife and mother to her three older children, and is always very respectful. Anita is happy to stay for the occasional late night or come work on a weekend. My husband is a child psychologist, and we had very high standards when searching for the person who would help care for our children. Anita exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly sad to part with her, as she has become an integral part of our lives. But Anita is now looking for another family to grow with, and I wholeheartedly believe that family will be lucky to have her. Please reach out to me with any questions via email or phone.

Parent Reference

My former nanny is looking for her next family. Due to the pandemic, her current family needed to relocate. She’s open to live-in or live-out. Thought she would prefer M-F live-in as she would like to minimize COVID risk from back and forth commuting due to the pandemic. She was part of our family for almost 5 years and has been a nanny for over 18 years. She started with us when my daughter was 4 months old. In fact, my daughter called her Nisha Aunty She has two grown children. Her daughter is a doctor in a residency program and her son/daughter-in-law owns their own businesses. Because of her family situation she has also demonstrated great flexibility with my family’s crazy (pre-pandemic) work schedules either coming early or staying late when needed. She has lived in the US for over 30 years and is a US citizen. I did not run a background check, but I did speak with one of her previous families as a reference. We lived in near City Hall/Brooklyn Bridge, so she is familiar with downtown Manhattan but she’s open to anywhere in the city. We can’t say enough good things about our nanny. She adored our daughter and they have an incredibly tight bond so much so that people often ask if she’s her grandmother. We love her and consider her part of our family. She is fluent in Hindi and Gujarati, so our daughter has gotten immense exposure to our culture and language. Her English is good but not great (verbal is good/written ok.) I spoke with her in Gujarati to get some practice. That said, she gets along with my daughter’s friends’ nannies and communicates with them in English. Aunty has great common sense and if she doesn’t know something once you show her once she gets it. She is a great cook—my daughter eats Indian food almost every night which she makes for her a few times per week and will cook fresh roti’s for after school. When we hired her, Aunty was responsible for the baby and bathing/cleaning bottles/doing my daughter’s laundry/general tidiness for my daughter. (My cleaning lady handled our laundry and deep cleaning.) As the years have progressed and when my daughter is in school, she picked up a few more responsibilities. She occasionally cooks Indian food for us—it’s delicious. However, her primary focus has been my daughter. She is looking for a warm, caring family who is interested in a warm, caring, loving full-time nanny. Please let us know if you\\\'re interested or know of anyone who would be interested. She will be a great addition to your family.

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, we are deeply saddened to lose our truly amazing nanny, Maimouna. For the last two years, she has brought such incredible warmth and spirit into our home and brings out the very best of our four-year-old daughter each day. She is loved and adored by the children and teachers at our preschool, the doormen in our building, and the other nannies in the neighborhood. She has the warmest smile and the biggest heart! Maimouna has worked with children of all ages in both a home and academic setting. She speaks to our daughter in both French and English. They go to classes, museums, parks, and libraries in our neighborhood on the UWS. She is highly energetic, and radiates genuine warmth. She has made so many friends and sets up regular playdates, sending us photos and videos of their adventures every day. She is trustworthy, devoted and selfless, but also has a great no-nonsense approach to discipline that we love. She cooks healthy, delicious meals for our daughter, has mastered potty training, and has encouraged confidence while also reinforcing manners. We are heartbroken to lose such a vital, trustworthy part of the family, but we want to make sure that she finds the right next one!

She takes great pride in her work, is always on time, is flexible to come early/stay late and has rarely taken a sick day. She has made our time working manageable because we know our son is in safe hands.??I'm happy to discuss any details further, but she's a hidden gem!

Parent Reference

Luz Elena Morales worked for my family as my children’s nanny from early January 2016 until we moved to California earlier this year. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a nanny for their children. My oldest son was 4 months old when Elena started working for us. She was able to get him smiling and laughing within the first hours of starting to care for him, and I never had to worry going back to work as a new mom, knowing that he was being well cared for and loved by Elena. Elena continued to work with us through the birth of my daughter 19 months later, and cared for both children alone when I went back to work, and through the birth of my youngest son in late 2019. Elena gives her undivided attention to the children when she is with them. She is always focused on their needs and engaging with them. She always noticed right away if they showed symptoms of illness and raised any concerns with us. She truly cares for them and they for her. They would run to greet her every morning when she arrived with big hugs and smiles. Elena is an expert in caring for newborn and infant children. She knows strategies for getting them to stay calm, sleep, and take bottles. She is also wonderful in caring for young children. She is proactive about getting them out to the park, to age appropriate activities, or scheduling playdates. She is knowledgeable about toys, products, and medicines, and often recommended items to me I had not heard about. She also worked with my children on educational activities, such as practicing writing letters and numbers, in an organic and fun way. Moreover, she instills in them manners and respect, such as cleaning up their toys and sharing with other children. She does so with positive energy and rewards rather than punishment. Elena is bilingual and spoke Spanish with our children at our request. Additionally, she has taken covid very seriously, recently tested negative on a covid test, and will take any precautions requested by her next employer. Elena was very helpful around the house, including with cooking and light cleaning. She is a great cook and prepares healthy meals for the kids, such as lentil stews and grilled chicken with veggies. She also helps with grocery shopping. She maintains the kitchen and children’s clothing and areas clean and neat. She was accommodating with requests to stay late or come in on the weekend, and responsive to after-hours questions. If we had not moved out-of-state, we would have planned to employ Elena as our nanny for years to come. We still miss her terribly and know that whoever she works for next will be very lucky to have her. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

She proactively worked with the boys to learn their letters, colors and numbers, took the boys to all sorts of classes, the library and was great at setting up playdates with other nannies. She does the boys laundry, light cleaning and everything for the boys. We’re very sad to have to part with her, any family would be lucky to have her.

RECOMMENDATION FROM 2020 (AFTER BABY #2): We are happy to provide our sincerest recommendation for Hadiata Sakho for nanny services. We were delighted to bring Hadiata back for our second child - and she has been a key part of our family. However, we are dealing with new circumstances as of 2020 current events. She is currently with us part time until she secures a full time opportunity. We are also flexible with our schedule if you are looking for PT hours/splitting the week. Since day 1 - Hadiata has a natural chemistry with the children. Her positive attitude coupled with her confidence makes her always in control of the situation. Hadiata excels at managing a family without conflicts seeming to occur. The chemistry in our home has always been terrific with her present. Secondly, Hadiata truly makes life easy with her reliability and ability to be consistently punctual. Over 3 years - she was never known to be late. Her communication and timeliness have always meant we do not have to stress about child care. Third, Hadiata manages the overall home with ease. Everything was always kept well together, with organization / cleanliness and picking up - but more importantly, making life easier for us in that the apartment was always better coming home than it was when we left in the morning. Lastly, Hadiata respected and reinforced our family desires, especially as related to phone time and screen time. Hadiata has always focused on the situation at hand and not distracted while working. We truly feel that Hadiata is a key reason that our children are as bright, curious, and kind as they are... in that I mean that Hadiata as part of our family has left a terrific contribution on our kids well being. Her daily disposition, punctuality, control and clear management of the children and home have been a true pleasure to have in our daily life. RECOMMENDATION FROM 2018 (AFTER BABY #1) RECOMMENDATION: Hadiata came into our lives when our daughter was 4 months old. Hadiata was our first (of 15!) interviews and through the process I knew she was “the one”. Hadiata is a special person and wonderful caretaker. Childcare is a true passion and profession for Hadiata, it’s obvious from the way she carries herself to her punctuality to the long-standing relationships she has with other parents, caregivers, music instructors, teachers, librarians in Park Slope. She does her job with purpose and intent. With Hadiata, your child is her #1 priority. Not her phone, not socializing, not her schedule. Hadiata treated our daughter with respect, and exposed her to the world through music, dance, culture, nature, language, and many many good laughs. She kept a very detailed journal of my daughter’s days – what/when she ate, when she napped, where she played/who she played with. Hadiata is very active and has experience with children of all ages. From early on my daughter was on a regular schedule, and well socialized. She took her to gardening classes, music, yoga, the zoo, arranged fun playdates but most importantly instilled lifelong values along the way. I cannot tell you how many parents have come to me because they recognize my daughter at the playground or other and say “your nanny is wonderful; your daughter responds to her so well!” When looking for a nanny it was important to not only find someone who would love and keep our daughter safe but we wanted someone who could infuse culture into our lives. Hadiata brought new traditions and new perspective to our home. She spoke and read to my daughter exclusively in French. She struck the perfect balance of respect and play. Another thing to note…Hadiata had my daughter potty trained by 19.5 months. Wow, just wow. We have to say goodbye to Hadiata because my daughter will be entering a 2s program this fall. We believe Hadiata is the reason why our daughter is ready for this next step. We’re so thankful for Hadiata and we hope to find her another loving family where she will be loved as much as we love her!

Parent Reference

I’m re-posting my unequivocal recommendation for our former nanny. She has been handling the pandemic circumstances with great care, but her current family just completed an out-of-town move so she is looking for another loving family to fold into: To the family considering Isidora Avalos (our beloved Isi): I’m tempted to be selfish, to not inform you of how truly wonderful Isi is – this way we could keep her nannying gifts all to ourselves. But, unfortunately, our child has become so busy with 1st Grade, after-school activities, and play dates that we’ve outgrown the need for a nanny. For over 5 years Isi has been an integral part of the family raising my daughter, Bayla, to be the happy, active, caring kid she is thus far. Since Bayla was 6 months old Isi has been providing loving, educational, adventurous, reliable care. Come to think of it, not just for Bayla, but for our whole extended family. Including tender care for our aging dog through his passing 2 years ago. Isi is the type of caregiver who doesn’t just read to Bayla, she creates a cozy, interactive, learning time with books. Doing voices, teaching words in English and in Spanish while still giving Bayla room to identify pictures, letters and numbers for herself. Isi doesn’t hesitate to roll around on the floor playing “sick” when Bayla is imagining she’s a doctor for the umpteenth time. The relaxed, fun reading with Isi has become even more important because as Bayla grows-up we’re discovering that she has a language arts-based learning disability. Isi’s unconditional support has helped Bayla confront her special learning needs with confidence, not fear. Isi is the type of caregiver who can orchestrate long, joyful days with Bayla assuming the responsibility of full-time parent while I’m am on shift. Her day with us typically lasts 15 hours. During that time Isi independently navigates Bayla’s playdates, playground romps, in-home time with dolls, trucks, kitchen and other toys, artsy projects, meals, light housework, laundry, personal hygiene and bedtime. Always punctual, often early, Isi also stays late without a peep of complaint (as often happens since I work in a Pediatric ER.) She asks for help when she needs it and takes instruction well, though she rarely needs that - keeping Bayla on a more consistent playing, learning, eating, bathing, etc. schedule than I (her mother) have ever managed to. She is a loving and fun addition to our family and always professional and handling infection control during the pandemic well. If our family schedule hadn’t shifted to eliminate the need for additional care we'd be moving forward with Isi without reservation. Don’t hesitate to call or write me if you want to know more or need specific questions answered.

Leaving the city and want to find a fantastic family for our nanny. Rosemary “Rosie” Francis, joined our family two years ago, when our son was 8 weeks old, and he absolutely adores her. Rosie is nurturing, has a calming presence and is extremely reliable. She has been great with our son at every stage of his development from a newborn to an energetic toddler. When our son was a newborn Rosie was good about making sure he got tummy time at home and kept him on a regular schedule. Now that our son is a toddler, Rosie is always happy to get down on the floor and play trains or dance around the apartment with him. She takes him to the park whenever the weather is nice and has been very proactive about finding activities for him, like story time at our neighborhood library branch or a gym class at our local community center. Rosie is great about making me feel connected with my son even when I am not around. She constantly sends us pictures of him and lets us know how his day is going. In addition to taking wonderful care of our son, Rosie is great about cleaning up, cooking nutritious meals, making sure the dishes are done and his laundry is taken care of. Each morning our son runs to the door to greet Rosie with lots of hugs and kisses. Rosie came to us with almost 18 years worth of childcare experience. Rosie was with her previous family for almost eight years and they spoke incredibly highly of her. We will miss Rosie terribly. Do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions.

Parent Reference

We are leaving NYC in October and my heart is breaking to see my kids (2 and 4 months) parted with Yolande. Our criteria on our nanny search was that we find someone loving and kind - sounds easy but it was much harder than you think. Not all nannies have that innate love for children that you think they should possess. Yolande has it in spades. I was honestly shocked at how fast she fell in love with my kids and vice versa. If you're interested in hearing more, here are some topline bullets about her to note: 1) She is loyal. She's only been with 2 families (us and one other) for the past 10 years. 2) She never raises her voice. She's the only person my rambunctious 2 year old listens to without fail. She is firm (in the softest voice) when she needs to be and it works like magic. 3) Since my oldest could walk, she has run and jumped into Yolande's arms to give her a huge goodbye every single day. This could not have been more reassuring to come home 4) I have a newborn and trust her completely to be Covid safe. Yolande has an immunocompromised kid herself and is very careful. We have had her take the subway and I'm happy to talk to you about how that's going (very well!) 5) She will parent in your absence in the exact way you would like. This is hard to find as well. She never wants to overstep but will offer her experienced opinion when asked. 6) The children always come first and she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. She runs around the park for hours with my 2 year old and is down on her hands and knees with my newborn. 7) We know the above to be true even out of our presence, as my mom friends and I spy on each other's nannies to make sure how they act out of the house is the same as in the house! We found a treasured nanny with Yolande and would like to see her settled before we leave the city. Please reach out to me for more information (Heather - (646) 460.7757) - the above is just an overview. You can also reach her directly if you prefer at (347) 853-3541. We will be flexible with her start date.

Marlene has been a wonderful nanny for the last 2 years for our very energetic son. Unfortunately we are moving away and I want to make sure she finds a great family to work with! She cared for him since he was 5 months old, and is very seasoned at care-giving, having been with a few families long term before us. She's been so great, like family to us. Our son's face lit up every day when she walked in the door. She has a great attitude and is upbeat. She was so helpful and knowledgeable when we were clueless first time parents, and then helped him through all milestones always reading and playing (and is not afraid to get down on the floor!) She knows Manhattan well (Upper West & East) and took our son to classes and of course the park. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Noemi was a wonderful fit for our family and we would have kept her forever if we hadn't ended up leaving the city due to COVID-19. She started watching our daughter when she was 6 months old and I went back to work and I had so much peace of mind from the first day on. Noemi is reliable, patient, flexible, respectful and thorough. She always checked with us before introducing something new to our daughter but I never felt like I had to micromanage her care. She is a great communicator and would check in and send pictures of the baby throughout the day. Noemi was working on Spanish with our daughter, took her to the library for music/story time and for outside play so I never worried that she was under-stimulated. We are pretty easy going parents ad I felt like Noemi met us on our level. She respected schedules and boundaries we set for the baby but also provided us with great suggestions on toys, gear and activities from her own mom and nanny experience. She helped out with the baby's laundry and made sure her dishes and toys were tidy at the end of the day. She was also great with our dog which was a must for us. Our daughter lit up when she saw Noemi and as a working mom I was so grateful to leave each day knowing my baby was happy. I couldn't recommend Noemi any more highly and we are so sad to lose her.

I am delighted to recommend our truly wonderful Nanny (for twelve years!) who is now available, but very sad that Carrie Cornelius will no longer be with our family on a daily basis. Her time with us has been a blessing valuable far beyond our initial expectations as new parents years ago. Carrie is the only Nanny our daughters have ever had, and she is the epitome of a caring, professional, and ethical caretaker of children. She knows the Manhattan independent school world and its routines very well. Carrie has done light housework, some cooking, and plenty of additional babysitting for us over the years; but first and foremost we have cherished her genuine warmth and stewardship of our daughters when we could not be with them. My wife and I both recommend her without reservation, and would love to see her find another good match. She is dependable, flexible about staying late most nights (Carrie leads a peer group at her Church a couple of nights each week), exceptionally capable, and a self-starter. Carrie became a US citizen while working for us and would like to continue working full time and on the books.

Congratulations - you've just found the perfect nanny! DiDi was our nanny and a member of our family. I cannot imagine how I would have survived becoming a new mom and managing a busy career without her. She is a beautiful person, inside and out, and an ultimate professional. She did an outstanding job caring for our daughters from birth to now ages 3 and 2. Managing 2 little ones is a very difficult job, but she did it with grace and love. I never worried about the girls while they were with Didi as she was extremely safe and cautious. She is very social and helped the girls to make lots of friends, schedule many playdates, and took advantage of all the free and fun places to entertain children in NYC. She is very creative and led fantastic art projects, cooking activities and more! She spoke to the girls in Spanish so they learned another language which was very fun to see and learn from her as well! DiDi is the most organized person and taught me how to be prepared for anything that can happen on the playground, a playdate, or even at home! She is absolutely amazing and I cannot express how much we currently miss her. Our family relocated out of state due to the pandemic which is why she is available - though we tried to convince her to join us. ? Call DiDi immediately!

Parent Reference

Hello parents, I'd like to recommend my incredible nanny and baby nurse, Joan Toney. She worked with us primarily as a baby nurse, but she stayed with us long enough to be considered a nanny! We hired Joan for both our kids, who are 4 years apart. She stayed with us for about 3 months, full time, live in with both kids. I can't recommend Joan enough. She is a kind hearted person who truly loves babies and kids. Our experience with her was nothing but positive and value add. Joan is a trained nurse and mother of older children, with decades of experience. She has all the technical knowledge regarding infant care, but also knows all the "tricks" and secrets of how to handle all sorts of newborn issues in the first few months of life (cradle cap, sleeping habits, diaper rash, burping and reflux, congestion and breathing issues, feeding issues, etc). She remains gentle and patient in everything she does. I trusted her 110% with my baby, and she taught me everything I know about infant and baby care. She was as patient with me as she was with a newborn, and trust me, I had endless questions and anxieties. She's all about getting your baby on a schedule, and assisting with establishing positive sleep habits. I really appreciated this knowledge and experience as I would have never known how to do this in practice, despite books and family guidance. It's just not the same as when you have a trusted person who has seen so many infants and families go through the process. She anticipates your needs and plans accordingly. She made sure to inform me when supplies were running out or if I needed to buy something different for the baby. My daughter was born very small, and had some breathing and choking issues while feeding. This of course was very scary and there was an instance where she had to go to the hospital for inability to breathe while feeding. Joan knew exactly what to do to save her life, keep her breathing until the paramedics arrived, and knew when to call 911. I am 100% indebted to her for this. Joan was a pleasure to have around our family as well. She was incredibly un-intrusive and kept to herself throughout the day or when the baby was sleeping. I never had to ask her to do anything. She took care of cleaning bottles, doing laundry, and if we didn't explicitly invite her to eat, she was very self sufficient in the kitchen. She never nagged me or made me do anything, I felt like I could step out or nap as needed, with no guilt. I knew my baby was in good hands. Joan has a quiet and shy demeanor, but underneath all that she is actually super funny. She loves silly comedies and dressing up to go out. We chatted about dresses and truly, she was lovely to have around. I never felt judged by her (for my lack of experience as a mom with kiddo #1), and she was only helpful, positive, and supportive. I can't thank her enough for the wonderful attitude. When it came to baby #2, my older child was 4, and I saw Joan interact with him. She was delightful. She entertained his silly 4 year old jokes and play, and didn't mind that he was rambunctious around her. She shared many stories about being a live-in nanny to 3 children prior to working with us, and many of stories were sweet and heartfelt. I knew they were true based on her interactions with my children, which were incredibly caring, and with my 4 year old, jocular and silly. I would recommend Joan to any family. She will not only make your life easier, but provide value to your day to day family life and to your kids. She is a pleasure to be around, and her experience and technical expertise is second to none. If you're expecting or have kids already, call her!

I always felt that the care, love and attention my two sons got from her over the years was every bit as good as what they got from me. They might as well have been her sons. In addition to being excellent at childcare, she is also very willing to help around the house - cleaning, cooking, tidying. Since my sons have grown up, she has stopped working full-time for us and has taken on various other childcare roles, but she comes to visit us regularly and sometimes cleans for us. Having tried out many other nannies before we eventually found Fernanda, I can guarantee that she is a true find - solid gold.

Sonia is warm, loving, and fun, and was also great about keeping the kids on a consistent schedule and making sure they ate their meals. When our daughter was an infant, Sonia was excellent at putting her on a regular feeding and nap schedule and making sure she was stimulated with play groups and activities throughout the day. Sonia was very proactive about arranging play dates in the neighborhood, taking our kids to classes and activities, and loved reading and playing board games with them. She was also extremely reliable, punctual, safety-conscious, and very flexible and accommodating when we asked her to come in early or stay late. Sonia also helped us with light housekeeping, laundry, and cooking for the kids and left our home spotless at the end of the day. Sonia has a Green Card and is able to work on the books.

Winnie (Winsome) is a superb Nanny. Truly, she is among the most competent, capable, intelligent, and emotionally sensitive and in-tune Nanny's one could ask for. After my wife delivered, we called her and she met us in East Hampton the very same day. From day one, we knew we were in good hands. As a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience in working with children, I felt 100% comfortable with Winnie taking care of our newborn. Her cooking is fabulous. She is more than careful in terms of making sure everything is disinfected, safe, and healthy for a newborn. She has an immense amount of knowledge that she is willing to share and really goes beyond the call of duty in connection to caring and loving the child. She sings, reads, and is capable of forming a meaningful emotional bond with the child. We would have kept if not for moving to a smaller apartment in Manhattan. One would be hard pressed to find a more competent, trustworthy, dedicated, and hardworking Nanny or baby-nurse, depending on the needs of the family. We hired her as a baby nurse and was available 24/7 overnight and so helpful in facilitating breastfeeding and in teaching us how to care for a newborn like changing diapers, bathing, burping, dressing, and soothing an infant. Winnie has an incredible understanding of newborns and their needs. She is devoted to what is best for their healthy development, and she is untiring in making sure their needs are met in the most sensitive, nonintrusive way. As an added bonus, she has the most beautiful singing voice as she helped our little one transition from wake to sleep. In addition, she provided the same sensitive, non-intrusive care to my wife and myself, particularly my wife, as she cooked wonderful food, had the highest standards of cleanliness, kept us organized and able to be the best parents possible. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 917 -822-8476 or email me at [email protected] I recommend her without reservation.

Due to a change in our work circumstances, our nanny for the past year has been available since the end of August. Ivette started when our son was 6 months old. Pre-COVID, she was always on the go with him, taking him to the playground and the library every day. He is happy to see her in the mornings, and he is always well fed and clean. Ivette diligently cleans his toys and does his laundry every week. Ivette is amazingly flexible with her schedule, occasionally staying late or coming early if needed. She even worked a couple weekends when we asked, and she is always on time. During COVID, she worked when absolutely necessary (I'm an essential worker), but she takes all necessary precautions (wears a mask, stays home when not working). Before us, Ivette worked with one family for 1 year, and for over 8 years each with the two families before that. She prefers a full-time position, and she would like to be paid on the books. She's a U.S. citizen. She would prefer to start with a newborn. She lives in Brooklyn but is happy to commute anywhere in the city. Ivette was such a great help in our transition to parenthood; we hope she can help another family, too!

My husband and I want to share an enthusiastic recommendation for our wonderful nanny, Debbie, who is available to start immediately. She has been with us for over a year now starting from when our daughter was 5 months old. We are parting ways only because our family will be moving out of Brooklyn, and we want to make sure she finds a great family. Please see our note for Debbie below. --------- Debra Evans has 29 years of experience working as a nanny, and it showed the first time we met her. My husband spoke on the phone with over 10 different nannies before asking Debbie to meet our family, and we knew immediately that Debbie was going to be our nanny. Her confidence and knowledge of taking care of babies was very obvious from the start. She made gentle suggestions to us about things to try with Noa that were so valuable as first time parents. Our daughter has thrived with Debbie, learning to clap, crawl, and walk all with Debbie's encouragement. She captured all of these moments through pictures and video and shared them with us. As Noa grew older, Debbie sought out other nannies taking care of similarly-aged babies and ended up with a lovely playgroup. Without our prompting, she found classes and storytime in the neighborhood for her and made sure she was engaged in a lot of activities throughout the day. Her love for our daughter and her energetic nature shows as she even threw her a birthday party with her playgroup, complete with flowers, balloons, and party favors. She took great care of Noa over the last year, and we are very grateful for her becoming a part of our family. Debbie is CPR/first aid certified, has worked with her last three families for 18 months (family moved upstate), 7 years, and 8.5 years (who she still keeps in touch with via phone calls + meeting up in person), and has previous experience working as a home health aide for 2.5 years and as a night nurse. Debbie is looking for full-time work, preferably with an infant/baby, but she has worked with a family with 3 kids in the past. She is also open to being paid on the books like with us. Debbie has been sheltering in place responsibly for the last four months. If her prospective family feels uncomfortable with her taking public transit, she may be able to get to your home via a car.

Our child has multiple, serious food allergies, and Jojo has been able to keep her safe (and trained on EpiPens and cross-contamination). We keep a semi kosher home, so she knows all about dietary restrictions. She came highly recommended with excellent references as a nanny for a family with several kids many years ago when she started sitting for our daughter, also has kids of her own, and sometimes works as a sitter for a synagogue. So she's got tons of experience with children. Happy to give any additional info. In her words: "Jojo is looking for a full-time nanny position in Manhattan.

She started when our son was 3 months old and she truly allowed me to go back to work with as little stress as possible, as I quickly felt confident he was in great hands. She has made friends with other nannies in the area with babies our sons age (that I am now friends with the parents) and always is great at keeping our son on a schedule and setting up play dates to ensure he is stimulated outside of the home. We will truly miss her as we relocate and know our son will too- definitely have plans to keep her part of our sons life. Please feel free to message me for any questions and I can happily pass on Dolly’s info. Hopeful to find her a new home by late September and hope we can find another nanny we can rely and trust as much as Dolly.

Words do not do justice for how much our nanny, Chanie, has meant to us. We had the pleasure of having Chanie work for us full time for over two years, caring for our daughter since she was an infant. Chanie is kind, caring, gentle, and holds a loving and motherly disposition. She shared a special bond with my daughter that was so sweet - I often overheard her singing to her while I was getting ready in the morning or the noise of joy and laughter through the door when I came home from work. She was constantly coming up with creative songs, games, and activities for them to play together as well as daily reading. We have never once seen her not fully engaged and focused on our daughter’s well-being. In many ways, Chanie helped us to become stronger parents, giving helpful guidance without pushing and always taking our lead on decisions. Chanie is extremely safe and careful with children. She was able to actively keep up with my busy daughter on the playground while helping for her to make friends with other young children. She helped me as a working Mom by meeting me at various doctors appointments as needed for my daughter throughout the city. At a young age by daughter needed to have physical therapy, and Chanie was able to take her several times per week to the appointments and meet with the therapists. I trusted her to do this and the doctors there all had wonderful things to say to me about Chanie. Chanie is extremely responsible and dependable – she was never late in the 2 years she worked for us. She is neat, tidy and professional. Chanie is also an excellent cook and was dedicated to preparing nutritious meals for our daughter (who is quite a picky eater!). We feel forever grateful that she was able to help our family during this point in our lives as we raised our first baby. If we were able to bring Chanie with us when we moved to the suburbs, we would have happily done so!

Parent Reference

I simply cannot say enough about Colleen and what she has meant to our two children and our entire family. My children, ages 5 and 6 months, have both have grown-up in her care over the last 18 months. Colleen looked after my older son in the afternoons, collecting him from school every afternoon and taking care of him through the evening until just before his bedtime. She also looked after the younger child, now 6 months, since he was just 3 months old. Colleen helped us with our boys in a very difficult time - during the COVID-19 pandemic that shook the world to its core and destabilized nearly every system we have come to rely on as New Yorkers. Colleen’s support during and immediately after the worst of the pandemic was critical. Even when Colleen could not physically be with us, she read to my older son via FaceTime every weekday to give him a slice of consistency and normalcy in an otherwise hectic and scary situation. Before the pandemic upended our lives, Colleen helped my son with school and homework, scheduled playdates, and kept my son active and engaged. She often took him to museums and out to dinner. Long walks, picnics and dance parties completed their fun-filled afternoons. When school transitioned to remote learning, Colleen helped him use new technology and adapt to a new way of learning. Colleen is kind, warm, patient, playful, spirited, responsible, aware, and intelligent. All these qualities made her a perfect fit for our family. She has had a transformative effect on my older son who struggled with impulse control and anger during his Pre-K years. Colleen helped him channel his anger and use words to express his feelings. In addition to the childcare she provided, Colleen prepared meals for our children in the afternoons and encouraged my older son to try new foods. She helped transition my younger son from breastmilk and formula to solid foods. She also helped the baby learn how to roll over by giving him ample tummy time each day. We deeply regret that we are losing Colleen as our caregiver. Our demanding work schedules mean that me need someone to look after our two children from the early morning until the evening, which means a 10-hour day at minimum. Unfortunately, Colleen’s schedule does not align with our needs, which is the only reason we decided to part ways. And, if our schedule changed, we would hire her back immediately! I highly recommend Colleen Farrell. I know that your children would love her as much as mine have and that you would never be disappointed as long as she is with your family.

Parent Reference

Our nanny Ornela Perez is looking for additional work late afternoons, evenings, and occasional weekends, outside of her normal schedule with us. (She works for us in Westchester from 8am-4pm three days a week, and 10am-4pm two days a week). I enthusiastically recommend Ornela as an exceptional caregiver. She has worked with our family for over three years. She has taken care of our oldest son since he was about 5 months old, and our youngest since birth. From the first day we left our son with her until now, I have not worried about our kids for one minute when they have been with her. I’ve always had complete confidence that they are safe and well-cared for when she is with them. As first-time parents, Orenal has been a wonderful resource to have for advice about everything from feeding and nap schedules to potty training. She has experience with all ages from twin newborns to teenagers, and this shows in her broad knowledge base. She always respected our decisions as parents, but would also tactfully note things like when it seemed our son may be ready to start potty training (and how to do this!), the best way to calm our colicky newborn, etc. One of the reasons I always felt so confident leaving my kids with her is that it seemed there was no situation she had not encountered before. We also really appreciated the initiative Ornela took to find interesting things for our son to do. She herself is energetic and always on the lookout for ways to get him out and about to experience new things. She found a music class she could take him to (which he loved), introduced him to the playroom at the library, and found a couple of indoor play spaces she could take him to in the winter. She also helped him form some of his first friendships by setting up regular playdates with a small group of kids near his age. In the summer they are always out at a different playground. We’ve never felt like our kids are just a job to Ornela. She truly cares for them and has genuinely invested in them with her whole heart. Since we are transplants to New York and live far from our family, it’s been reassuring to know that if we were ever in a tough situation and needed help with our children, she would go out of her way to make sure they were taken care of even outside of her normal schedule. (Such as when my youngest son was born unexpectedly a couple weeks early.) I can’t recommend Ornela highly enough. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly with any questions you have.

Incredible nanny available- extensive experience with multiples and nanny shares. Our amazing nanny, Georgia, is looking for her next family. We’ve had the privilege of working with Georgia on two separate occasions, first as part of a nanny share in Brooklyn (Feb 2017-July 2018) and more recently, Georgia has been living with my family for the summer helping to care for my three children (4, 2, and 2M). We would love to have her stay with our family but unfortunately shes not available as a live-in past September -let our loss be your gain. Georgia originally joined our family when my son was 3 months old and as a first time mom, was an indispensable resource as I transitioned back to work- helping to get my son on a schedule and working with him on all of his milestones. She is proactive about recommending new classes or educational toys and easily navigates around Brooklyn’s best playgrounds. She is incredibly kind and loving towards “her babies” while also being incredibly nurturing towards her families. Having Georgia come back this summer has been such a blessing and after working with several other nannies over the past two years, I can honestly say that Georgia is a total gem. She’s a partner in parenting and my children absolutely adore her. She also seamlessly transitioned to the suburbs and caring for three children. Georgia has over 20 years of nanny experience working with infants, babies and toddlers- in many instances for multiples or as part of a nanny share. She is also incredibly cautious and has been taking the necessary Covid precautions since February. She is available to start In mid-September but for the right family, she is willing to wait to start until late October. She is ideally looking for full time(either for one family or as part of a nanny share) but is willing to explore part time opportunities as well. Please message me if you are interested in speaking with Georgia.

Savi has been with our family 1.5 years and has been a career nanny for over 20 years and truly take prides in the children she cares for, and is invested in their development in a way few other nannies are. She taught my child everything he knows- from his ABC's, basic greetings, body parts, and more. Because of her he LOVES reading, since she makes an effort to read to him as often as possible. She is proactive and told me about all of the places nearby for storytime and classes (pre-COVID), which has been wonderful for his development. She gives my son great independence and loves him with sincerity. In addition, she is probably one of the most energetic women I've ever met, always leaves our home with clean dishes and countertops (and will leave a little late to make sure it's done before she heads home)-- all without prompting. She would be ideal for a small baby, toddler, or even pre-school family with one child.

Parent Reference

Are you a new mom or dad looking for a nanny who will love your children and give you peace of mind that everything with them is taken care of when you're not there? I have your nanny! My children (7 and 4) adore our amazing nanny Catherine. Catherine was with our family for nearly six years since my son Tate was 3 months old and transitioned to a regular babysitter since our kids have been in school. My children love her so much. They run to the window every night after she leaves to shout their \"I love yous\" from the 8th floor down to her on the sidewalk below. I was so heavy-hearted when it was time for her to move on, and now it turns out that her latest family no longer needs her due to job loss during this pandemic, so she is looking for a new lucky family. At first, she can appear a bit shy with adults, but Catherine instantly connects and bonds with children. It was clear from her first interview with us that Catherine was so focused on our son, and her deep love for him was evident very early on. My mother, an early childhood educator, picked up on all of these things that Catherine was doing to engage with Tate that I didn't even notice. She has a gift. Catherine remains focused on our children, never distracted by her phone. She is always singing and reading books to them. She made a point of meeting other nannies in our neighborhood, so our kids had playdates and social outlets with peers during the day. We always would run into kids in the neighborhood who our kids knew well from their park time and playdates with Catherine. She had our kids outside as much as she could, running around the park, in sprinklers, being kids. Which brings me to the next of Catherine's attributes: she is incredibly responsible and always exhibits good judgment. If the kids got wet or dirty playing the park (which I love!), she would always have them bathed and clean by the end of the day. She left our home more spotless than we left it for her. She was always on time and never took sick days - maybe two total in the six years with our family. Somehow she maintains this perfect balance of love, activity, and order. She makes it look effortless. We would be happy to recommend Catherine and just want her to spend the next 6+ years with a great family who would be happy to appreciate all of her gifts. (willing to commute by train wearing mask and gloves, or follow any other safety protocol that meets your needs)

?To One Lucky Family, Our former nanny, Narima Singh, is looking for her next family. To say Narima is amazing, loving, caring, “part of our family”... all the things people say when describing their nanny… simply doesn’t tell her whole story. While she is all of those things, there is some X-factor that I can’t really put into words. You have to meet her… spend a little time with her... to understand her way with babies/toddlers. We somehow, with luck, timing, and little help from our doorman, we were fortunate to hire Narima as our nanny. We had no idea that things would work out so well… and we believe Narima is a huge part of the reason we have such a joy-filled daughter. I could go on and on about Narima but here are a few bullet points: 20 plus years as a nanny. 13 years and EIGHT consecutive families at 70 Washington Condo in DUMBO. "Fit as a fiddle”, spry, energetic, and always eager to the kids outside. Next level prompt. To our apartment in the AM and always early to your child’s pre-school, music, ballet, etc. If memory serves…one sick day in 4.5 years that she worked for us. So much knowledge of babies/toddlers she relayed to us as new parents. She's raised so many kids… including her own 25-year old son. Stable, Happily Married, Home-Owner. US Citizen. Again, I could go on and on. And while I don’t claim to know every nanny in Brooklyn, I’ve certainly observed many. Some casually in passing, some through our close friends, and some (second hand) through the many stories of the DUMBO gossip mill. Never have I seen anyone who even comes close to Narima’s overall ability as a nanny. She is a consummate professional who shows and shares so much love for and with children. We were, though a stroke of luck, fortunate enough to have Narima help raise our daughter. Please feel free to reach out to me directly via e-mail ([email protected]) or cell (917.371.9944) or you can reach Narima directly @ 347.893.3473. Kind Regards, Brian & Wendy

Shanta worked for our family for over 8 months, including during the hardest months of the COVID lockdown. We have 3 children spanning from preschooler to middle schooler. Shanta was responsible for childcare for our youngest child, as well as for cooking, laundry and light housekeeping. She got our child ready for school, picked him up, and took him to afterschool activities, the playground etc. She also took responsibility for meals and laundry for all our kids, as well as shopping for groceries while our kids were at school. A few months into her work with us, NYC went into lockdown, and Shanta transitioned into full-time childcare for our youngest. As both parents transitioned to work from home, Shanta had primary responsibility for supporting our youngest through remote learning. This was not easy, and Shanta worked to support him and encourage him to participate in online classes. She worked with him on assignments provided by his teachers, and helped him learn his letters and numbers. When going outdoors was impossible, she played games with him indoors, found ways for him to get his exercise indoors, and kept him entertained and engaged. She also baked delicious treats for the whole family like banana bread and gingerbread men. Shanta has over 2 decades of childcare experience for children of all ages and came to us recommended by families she worked with for many years. We are relocating temporarily from the city and cannot keep Shanta and are hoping she finds a caring family to work with.

Real-Life Supernanny available!!! We are looking for a new family for Jasmine, our beloved former babysitter. Jasmine has worked for us for almost 7 years (and for 13 years for another family before us) and helped us raise our two kids (8 years and 6 years) in New York. After her employment with us ended last year, we matched her with another family who ended up moving out of NY due to Covid-19. My husband and I being full-time professionals, if it weren’t for Jasmine, we wouldn’t have been able to maintain a good balance between our family life and our professional life, and most importantly, we wouldn’t have had such a fulfilling and enjoyable journey through the first years of parenthood. Jasmine is warm, loving, caring, honest, punctual, responsible, and very dependable. She is never late, braving the worst NY storms and always reporting to work on time. In the course of seven years, she took only ONE sick day! She is very flexible, gracefully accommodating us if we needed her to stay late or occasionally work on weekends. Jasmine displays a character of integrity and honesty; if a kid has a little fall in the playground, she doesn’t wait for us to come home and find out, she calls and tells us what happened in detail. She is very sociable, having this natural ability to connect with people and make friends with other babysitters in the playground. Thus, she has created a vibrant and diverse social circle for our kids, making sure they have playdates whenever they needed to. Being a good judge of character, she becomes friends only with like-minded nannies with integrity, so we never had to worry about who our kids are hanging out with. Jasmine is very professional and can efficiently fulfill children’s needs at different ages. From feeding and potty-training in toddler years, to helping with homework and creating arts and crafts projects in older years, she is always a pro. Whenever needed, she prepares kids meals, does their laundry, and helps with light upkeep work (tidying up kids’ mess). She’s also good at getting kids to do their share in cleaning up. She started reading to our kids when they were babies (thereby instilling in them a love of reading), taught them their alphabet using foam letters while playing in the tub when they were 2 years old, and eventually helped them qualify for the Gifted and Talented school program, scoring in the high nineties. She helps with homework while making sure to nurture autonomy and independence in the kids. She is very involved in all aspects of our kids’ life, always calls on weekends to remind us to sign a field trip paper, or make sure that our daughter practiced properly for her spelling test or finished her writing assignment. For further information, you can contact me (Zeina, former employer, cell: 917-294-6106) or contact Jasmine (cell: 917-861-3929).

She has been our trusted partner in the care of our children and our family as a whole. Bibi has NEVER been a minute late and has only ever taken 1 sick day in 6 years! She is dedicated and the most loyal human being. Bibi is a seasoned career nanny and is not one that is yapping on the phone or on FB or on social media instead of caring for your children. She doesn't even have social media and got her first email address only a month ago! Instead of all that, you will find her having reading books to your children, signing with them and actually engaged!! She is extremely flexible and always able to accommodate our demanding work schedules - even last minute. My kids think that Bibi is the best cook on the planet and no matter where we take them, they always say, this is really good but Bibi is better! She is an amazing individual and any family would be blessed to call her part of theirs.

Lakpa joined our family in 2016 while we lived on the Upper West Side and for a short time in Park Slope during the beginning of 2020 and until COVID hit. We are now moving out of the area and our move is the only reason Lakpa is no longer working with us. We deeply value Lakpa and wholeheartedly recommend her for a number of reasons: 1. Our daughter was about 18 months old when Lakpa joined our family. Our son was born soon after and are now 3 and 5 years old. Lakpa was instrumental during the birth and early days after his birth and is highly adept at providing the support needed during times of transition and change in our lives; 2. Lakpa is the epitome of dependability and we are so grateful for the consistency and stability she brought to our home and children’s lives; 3. Every single parent in the Upper West Side who met Lakpa while caring for our children made a point of telling me what great care she provides and how lucky we are to have such a knowledgeable, respected and kind caregiver for our children; and 4. We have never questioned the safety or well-being of our children under her care. In fact, we entrusted Lakpa with caring for our children overnight in her home while we moved to Brooklyn and knew our children were safe (and having a great time) with Lakpa and her wonderful family. We have offered to serve as a reference at any time for Lakpa and it is a pleasure and honor to do so. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.

Parent Reference

Our incredible nanny Sheila is available - and can begin this summer - as we made the difficult decision to live outside of the city this school year. Sheila is the dream: conscientious, creative, organized, fun, and social. She keeps our household running with meal prep, homework help, and light cleaning. Sheila plugs our kids into fun social activities - play dates & at the park - and takes them to the museums. She brings so much love to our family and makes our whole life work. Her discipline style is very positive and builds self esteem, with clear consistent expectations for our kids. We absolutely LOVE her. Please give Sheila a call if you’re looking for part or full time support. We feel so sad about not having Sheila in our life this year.

I'm writing to recommend Joanne Greene, who we had the privilege of employing as both a baby nurse and full-time nanny for our 2 boys for the past 10 years. Our sons are older now due to my job change, I no longer needed a full-time nanny (Joanne is seeking a full-time position and is available to start immediately). Joanne has been more than a nanny to us, she became part of our family. One of our sons has some special needs (ADD, Spectrum, fine motor issues) and she helped us tremendously to help support him in every way possible. Joanne is loving, kind, responsible, attentive, and compassionate. She always helped with activities, playdates, homework, and overall household organization. She also helped with gentle discipline and always collaborated with us on the best way to handle situations. Additionally, she was our baby nurse for both boys and helped us through every phase of the baby care process. This ranged from feeding and sleep training to circumcision care to helping me with nursing. As the boys grew, she helped with potty training and beyond. Please feel free to email or text me if you'd like to ask me any questions! Joanne is simply amazing and I’d be happy to tell you more about her.

My name is Jackie and I am a mother of 2 boys, Luca (8) and Graham(4). Sonam has been with us for over two years (Graham was 2 and Luca 5). She joined our family after our first Nanny left us after 6 years ( we moved, and the commute was tough). The kids have outgrown a full time nanny, both will be in school FT, but we would love to find her a budding family. Sonam was referred to us via my brothers nanny, who has been with him for 7 years ( and still is with his family). Sonam is a 38 yo Bhutanese women. She has been such a welcome addition to our family. She is very reserved, but commands respect, kind, loving, and my kids are obsessed with her. During the pandemic, Sonam moved in with us and she was such an awesome house guest. She would adventure out with the kids ( in an unfamiliar place), she would do crafts, science projects, homemade board games, you name it. She also cooks for us all and does all our laundry ( which I never asked her to do). If I do not want her to cook ( i love to cook), she will prep, clean and bath the kids. She has been established here for the last 10 years, has her green card and is almost a permanent resident ( US citizen paperwork is in). She hangs out with only her Bhutanese and Tibetan friends who are also awesome, i know and have met most of them. If you need a nurturing soulmate for your child, please reach out!
