Parent Reference

Claudia has been a member of our household since my first daughter was born (7 years). We are so sad to be parting ways with her as she is truly part of the family. I am sure she will always remain in touch because she has been such a wonderful addition to our two children's lives. However, as we no longer require a full time nanny, I'm happy to give another family the opportunity to be blessed with such a responsible, loving and nurturing caretaker. Claudia puts a great deal of detail, compassion, and responsibility into everything that she does. She is highly organized and vigilant about keeping a clean and safe environment for children that are in her care. She is bilingual and will teach your kids Spanish as she is originally from Columbia and it is her primary language. My kids have total comprehension of the Spanish language, as Claudia has always made a point to speak to them in Spanish and teach them new words and phrases. As a nanny, Claudia always went the extra distance. She was willing to stay late if we were running behind or needed a babysitter for after working hours. She also took the initiative to go above and beyond with completing extra little cleaning and tidying tasks without even having to be asked. She even served as a PreK teacher during the pandemic when my 4 year old was attempting to learn virtually! Claudia is extremely capable and organized and would make a great addition to anyone's home life and day to day routine. She has vacationed with us and my kids have even stayed with her (or she has stayed at our house) when we've needed weekend care. She has lots of experience working with kids of all different abilities, learning styles, and ages. A mother herself, her empathy and patience will be a great asset. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Pam is fantastic. She's been taking care of our son from 3 months to 1 year and 4 months. He loves her - and we're upset that we're moving as a result! Pam is always on time, and able to come early or stay late on short notice. She's extremely responsible. She's never on her phone, and always with our son. She's taught him so much - it's amazing! She cooks for our son, feeds him 3 meals a day, puts him down from naps, takes him out for long walks and his classes at Central Park, and more.

Parent Reference

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 more active work, 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 fully vaccinated, and is extremely safe and conscientious about COVID in general - 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.

Parent Reference

I’m posting on behalf of our former nanny, Veronica, who is fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and is seeking a position to begin this fall. Veronica often described us as a team working together to raise our children into amazing, good humans. If this was true (and it was), she was 100 percent our MVP. I had no way of understanding when we hired her the ways in which she would transform our home for the better. She is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I have had the benefit of knowing. When caring for our two children, we could really feel her love and concern for them, and she was fantastic with them at every stage from infancy through early elementary school. Veronica joined us as I exited my second maternity leave, when our older child was two years old and our younger child was just three and half months old. As most working moms know, it is no easy task to return to work. With that said, there is nothing in the world worth more than the immense peace of mind provided by knowing that your children are in excellent hands in your absence, and it is even better knowing that they are with someone inserting fun, learning, and affection into their days. You will not find a more intelligent, poised, mature, reliable, fun, observant, hard-working, and loving nanny out there. She is loaded with wisdom on all things child rearing (and, honestly, in general), and I trusted her and her judgment totally and completely when she was with our family. She also knew exactly what I needed and longed for as a working mom, sending me plenty of photos/videos and even keeping a leather-bound book of sweet and funny anecdotes from their days (in addition to the typical log of eating/sleeping/diaper changes). She connected not only our children—but us as parents—to other families in the area with whom I believe we will be lifelong family friends. I was astounded at how quickly she transcended the nanny cliques that can exist here and became instantly friendly with nannies across all cultures and age groups. In addition to taking our children on consistent play dates with other children of like ages, she constantly came up with fun activities to take them to and to engage them in. She was a complete expert in all the playgrounds and activities for babies/children across the city. She was also great at guiding our children through developmental milestones. It was also not uncommon for us to return after work to our apartment, with it in an impossibly clean state and her playing with one of the boys on the floor. At times we relied on her to take the children to the pediatrician and to countless other appointments across the city. As a bonus, she is an excellent cook, who knows how to make delicious yet healthy meals for your kids that they will actually eat. She has First Aid and infant CPR training (I updated my certification alongside her), and she has substantial experience as a nanny. She was with the family previous to us for 9 years (in Tribeca and Murray Hill), and the mother in that family spoke only glowingly of her when we talked. As mentioned, she is fully vaccinated and has taken the COVID-19 protocols very seriously. She would prefer to find a family with an infant and to work Monday through Friday as early as you need but until 6/6:30 p.m. (barring special circumstances). We are excited for the next family who gets to benefit from the great enthusiasm and warmth that she puts into looking after the children under her care. She is a truly special person whom you won’t regret bringing into your life if you hire her, and I’m happy to speak in further detail about her qualifications and wonderful attributes should you desire.

Parent Reference

Diani is the best nanny and child educator out there. The only reason we aren't working with her now is because our daughter is going to school full-time now. Diani started helping our family three years ago when our daughter was three weeks old. Throughout that time then we have seen our daughter blossom with Diani's care. We have seen countless other nannies who merely watch the child or transport them to an activity. Diani is 100% of the time actively engaged. She teaches and explains. Our daughter, at the age of two, was asking questions with intellectual curiosity well past her age, that was in large part thanks to Diani's style. We think three things set Diani apart: - She is a connector. Within a month, Diani had met half a dozen wonderful nannies in the neighborhood who were caregivers for really great children the same age as our daughter (within 3 months). Our daughter has had the same core group of friends for the first three years of her life, plus a few extras. AND most of them also were Francophone, so the kids were learning French with each other too. - She is an educator. We chose a couple of classes, but Diani also had recommendations that fit our daughter's schedule and needs. Also, Diani had weekly "lesson plans" that included in-home arts and crafts and other activities. Throughout the year, our walls began to be covered with season-appropriate artwork. Diani reinforced with our daughter manners and how to put toys and crafts away after they were finished using them. - She is part of the family. She found her place within our home, traveled with us, and cared for all of us in the way that only family does. She had glowing reviews from two past families, and every word was 100% true.

She’s wonderful with newborns and helped two nervous first time parents. She is very good with feeding and changing little ones. Very patient and calming. She’s also great with nap time and has no problem getting difficult nappers (our daughter) down for a nap. As our kids began enrolling in classes, Mayda was very helpful. She took them to everything and was very engaging with the kids. She’s also great with in home activities, especially arts and crafts. My daughter and Mayda would spend hours drawing/painting. Twice a week she did the kids laundry which was very helpful. If we needed her to prep meals or snacks, she would do that as well. I should also mention that she was recommended to us by our neighbors who used her for 7+ years with their two boys.

I’m writing to recommend our wonderful former nanny to a new family. Youdon was with my family for two years, 1.5 years full time and .5 years part-time. Since her departure from our family, due to covid- related transitions, Youdon has been abroad and has recently returned and is looking for full-time work. She started with us a few months before the birth of my daughter to watch over my two older kids, 11 and 9, then, following the birth of my daughter, became my newborn’s full-time caregiver. I don’t think there’s a stronger affirmation about how much you trust someone than having them care for your newborn. That’s exactly how I feel about Youdon, I trust her unequivocally. She transitioned seamlessly as my daughter passed the newborn phase to a very active toddler phase. She has such a gentle nature that it’s a real joy to see her interact with my daughter. Youdon is caring, diligent, patient, attentive and has a strong work ethic. Most importantly, I see the joy in my daughter’s eyes when she sees Youdon – my kids adore her. While caring for my toddler is her primary responsibility, in the free time she has when the baby is sleeping or I’m spending time with the baby, she’s more than will to help with any household chores. She’s also very flexible, willing to work late or on weekends, which has been a huge asset to my family. As just one example, weeks before the birth of my daughter I was hospitalized for preterm labor issues, and with no other family around, Youdon stepped in and stayed with my older kids overnight with no notice. It’s also important to note that she was very diligent with COVID restrictions during the pandemic and remains very cautious given that my younger kids are not yet eligible for vaccines. I highly recommend Youdon - any family would be lucky to have her as part of their team. I am more than happy to answer to answer any questions. 9175495255

Our wonderful nanny needs a new job! She has been with us for 4 years and my son loves her. We all love her! I wish we could keep her with us forever, but my son is starting Kindergarten next week so we no longer need help during the day. Patricia has a great spirit and always keeps my son laughing and smiling. She arrives in the morning, packs him up for the day, and they are off! She always finds something for them to do. In addition to lunch and naps, you can often find them in the park, the library, the river for music, at a playground, the museum, the zoo, at a class, or on a play date. What I loved most was how Patricia made friends with lots of other nannies, so my son had a very vibrant social life with all of their kids! When they arrived home after a fun-packed day, she would bath him, feed him and I would find them on the floor playing a game when I walked in from work. Both giggling and wearing huge smiles. Patricia is great with both babies and toddlers. She taught my son so many things. One of my favorites was how he learned to walk down the sidewalk with one hand on the stroller. She also taught him to stop on command anywhere outside. To this day, if I shout out “red light” he will stop wherever he is and wait for further instructions thanks to Patricia! What else can I tell you about Patricia…she is dependable, responsible, always shows up on time and has that “nanny magic”. Ya know…how they can get them to eat, listen and try new things when you can't? He knows she’s the boss and he loves her for it. She definitely has those nanny super powers ? One more important thing to mention. My son has severe nut allergies. We carry an epipen for him. Patricia is always aware of this and makes sure he is never in a dangerous situation. She also always makes sure to tell me if there is an event coming up (like a birthday party) where they will be serving cake or something he can't eat. That way I can send her out with a replacement item to eat so he won't feel left out when everyone else is eating birthday cake. It’s so sweet. We love Patricia and I can’t recommend her enough. The next family that welcomes her into their lives will be as lucky as we were! If you have any questions or want more info, please reach out to me directly.

We were very lucky to find Virna, she has taken care of our 2 and 4 year old boys for the last two years and made our lives so much better. She is a professional and takes her job of 23 years very seriously. Our children will be going to school full time in September and we are greatly saddened to have to give her up. Virna is not just a nanny but she is part of the family she is a kind loving, patient and a nurturing person who wants the best for our children. She treats them as if they are her own. Virna is reliable and punctual because she shows up 30 minutes early every single day, so even if the trains are late, she is still on time. She built relationships with other nannies, teachers, mothers and people who work in our building so everywhere we go our kids had friends and people looking out for them. We were always at ease knowing they could not be safer. She also sends us pictures throughout the day so we always know what they are doing. Our kids had an instant connection with her, she started when our youngest was 7 weeks old and we always felt very relaxed when she was taking care of him and our other son. Now they are both rambunctious boys and she has no problem keeping up with them and creating great activities for them. In the mornings she reads with them, sings with them and teaching them how to speak in complete sentences. Our children make beautiful art projects with her, she always finds creative things to do. She is always setting up playdates that are Covid Friendly. Virna is also our eyes and ears for what our oldest does in school. She has a great report with the teachers and will tell you what is happening daily. Virna gave me excellent parenting advice and has helped me to become a better parent. Please let us know if you are interested in a nanny I would love to talk with you.

I am writing this letter with the highest level of emphatic recommendation for our former nanny, Martha Pachon. We have known Martha and her son Sebastian for over fifteen years, and we have always known her to be diligent, compassionate, hardworking, kind and caring. When our daughter Emilie was born in 2015, there was no question in our mind that Martha would make the ideal nanny to assist us in raising our daughter while we both worked full time. Through nearly six years with us, Martha was exemplary in every way and was really a member of our family. From a parent’s perspective Martha was everything one could hope for - she was unfailingly punctual (literally always), she never missed work, her bilingual skills enabled her to provide our daughter with a firm grounding in Spanish, she went above and beyond to assist in every way, she was kind and responsible, but above all she truly loved Emilie. From Emilie’s perspective Martha was also perfect - she was fun and fair, she was constantly engaged, she always took Emilie for wonderful experiences throughout the city and she was there for Emilie in every way. Not a day would pass that Emilie and Martha weren’t at the zoo, the Natural History Museum, the playground, the bookstore, etc. I remember that I would sometimes get off of work early and go to the nearby playground to find Emilie and Martha. All of the other nannies were unfailingly on their phones or huddled together gossiping. Only Martha and sometimes a handful of others would actually be engaging with the children they were caring for. It was always true no matter the day or time. We know well that the search for a nanny to raise a newborn or young child can be daunting. Trusting someone with the most precious person in your world is a leap of faith. Martha is not, however, an unproven experiment. She was truly the most wonderful nanny in every way and she has helped raise our daughter into a curious, polite, confident, appreciative and fully engaged child. Perhaps more importantly, Martha has a full grown son, Sebastian, who is a further testament to Martha’s caregiving. Sebastian is a wonderful man who has also become so engaged in our family’s life and who has himself done so much for Emilie. Martha raised him incredibly well and was equally passionate about caring for our daughter. We have no doubt she would do the same with your child and recommend her wholeheartedly without any reservation. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspect of our six years working with Martha, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, James and Virginie Franklin

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.

Parent Reference

My family is preparing to move out of the city next month and would like to help our wonderful nanny Sally find a new family. She's been taking care of our 15 mo son for the past year with utmost kindness, grace, and a firm but loving attitude. It's not been easy to parent or become a new parent during the pandemic, but having Sally around eased our minds in so many ways. She is very careful with covid precautions and is fully vaccinated. Sally has 21 years of experience caring for kids in NY, most recently before us with another family in Williamsburg. Prior to that, she worked with a family on the UWS for ten (!) years. Sally knows the city inside and out in terms of children's amenities and always knows where the good playgrounds, sprinklers, classes, and activities are. A typical day involves active mornings and afternoons, snack and lunch preparation, and prioritizing a consistent sleep schedule. Sally is development and health oriented--she has goals in mind for our son's physical and verbal development, and cooks him healthy and balanced meals. She also goes above and beyond with cleaning, and was very respectful as we've spent the past year working from home. She's always engaged with our child and does a great job preparing us for upcoming milestones and transitions. Sally's a true member of the parenting team, and we will miss working with her. Please contact me for me for more details.

Our amazing nanny, Diana, has been with our family for the past four years, helped raise our son, and most recently cared for our newborn daughter. We would keep her forever if we could, but we've recently moved to New Jersey and need to find someone who is local and can drive. She is the most loving, attentive nanny who will go above and beyond for your family. She is incredible with newborns and young children and very good at engaging, interacting, and helping them develop all skills. She frequently reads to the children, coordinates activities/playdates, and does light cleaning/organizing in the household. She has the calmest, steady demeanor. She has become a part of our family, and we want to make sure she finds a wonderful new family. Prior to our family, she worked with another family for 16+ years. She is a gem, and any family would be so lucky to have her! Diana is ideally looking for a family with a newborn and a long-term position. Please message me if interested. Thanks!

Parent Reference

There isn't one word that could be used to describe our nanny, Alicia. Alicia started caring for our daughter Ella in January, 2021 when Ella was 2 1/2 months old. Upon interviewing Alicia, we knew that she would be the perfect nanny for Ella, and for us. We are in challenging times right now, I was (and still) am working from home, my husband is a paramedic in Harlem and Alicia handled all of this with grace and confidence. Alicia makes and sterilizes Ella's bottles, her solids, finger foods, washes and folds Ella's laundry, cleans up after playtime, organizes the diapers and wipes. Alicia reads to Ella, takes her outside every single day (weather permitting), and teaches her new skills. Ella's wake windows are something my husband and I pay close attention to and handles naptime, etc. with a breeze. The very few times that I have gone into the office, Alicia writes notes for us explaining how Ella's day was. We trust her entirely. It has been so fun to watch Ella's (who is now 10 months) relationship with Alicia grow. The minute Alicia walks through the door, Ella gets incredibly excited (and waves- which Alicia taught her how to do). We are first time parents, and it did take some adjusting for everyone, but eventually it all worked itself out. Alicia sets up everything so that we do not have to rush in the evening or the morning- it is all just ready to go. With COVID, there aren't any playdates or playgroups for Ella right now, but Alicia always finds new ways to teach new skills, and learn while they are together. While I could go on forever about our loving, patient, caring, kind, skilled nanny I will stop here. We are relocating to Florida in October, and unfortunately cannot take Alicia with us. Anyone who is able to have Alicia work for them will be very very lucky. Please reach out with any questions!

Alice was a member of our family for the past year. From the time she starts in the morning she focuses on my two loving girls. Alice has been the back bone of our family. My husband and I are working full time and don't have time to do anything when we get home however Alice has been doing an exceptional job in my home. When we are at work we never think or worry about our kids or our home. She makes the best banana muffins which my kids love so much and she also cooks amazing Caribbean dishes that my family can't get enough of. Alice was a joy, a blessing to have in my family. She alway helps take care of all my kids needs, laundry, food, walks to park, cleaning up after kids, pick up from school, etc name it . She is extremely trustworthy, helpful, responsible, caring, respectful, very energetic, loving, happy and well mannered. Wish we could have brought her with us to leave in Orlando. I highly recommend her

If you and your family are searching for a kindhearted, compassionate, one of kind, very special nanny who will love your child/children unconditionally, please keep reading. There really aren’t enough adjectives to articulate how wonderful Toyonie is and how lucky my husband and I feel to have had her take care of our daughter for the past 6 years. Like so many other families, our needs have simply changed due to the pandemic. Only a move from New York City could have taken her away from our daughter. She started working with us when my daughter was 4 years old. She has become my daughter’s best friend. She has loved my daughter like her own. She’s cared for my daughter from pre-K through third grade and has adapted to the needs of each age. She’s been instrumental in my daughter’s development. She is reliable and flexible. She has never called out sick and was on time every single day. She is incredibly honest, trustworthy and has always had my daughter’s best interests at heart. She will be your child’s advocate and will never take her eyes off your child/children when they are out and about. She doesn’t look at her phone when she’s working and her attention has always been 100% on my daughter. I’ve received so many compliments over the years from friends, teachers, doormen and other moms about how wonderful she is and the positive interactions they witnessed. She is smart and seemed to find no school assignment too challenging to help my daughter understand and complete it. She read to my daughter every day. She has always kept our apartment clean and tidy and my daughter’s room/clothes/laundry were always meticulously organized. She’s patient, fun, creative and proactive. She will be great at taking care of children of all ages. She really loves children.

It is my pleasure to recommend Urila. Urila worked for me for almost six years in the role of a nanny. She cared for my three children starting when my oldest child was three months old. During her time with my family, Urila went above and beyond. She is motivated and took initiative to plan activities and play dates for my children ensuring that they were constantly engaged. Urila is highly motivated and works well independently with little direction needed. Urila relates to children of all ages. She seamlessly cared for my children through their different stages from infancy to elementary school age. She taught my children material in an age appropriate manner and captured their attention. She has a love of all children and often other moms would ask me if Urila would be able to supervise their children as well. Urila is reliable and trustworthy and hardly took any days off in almost 6 years. I could always count on her to be there. Additionally, I knew that my children were in great hands and was always at ease knowing that my kids were in Urila’s care. In summary, I believe that Urila Weekes would be an asset to your family and her love and dedication for children will shine through. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions/
