Debbie also kept us organized by tidying up our home and always suggesting new foods to try and educational toys and books. The next family to work with her will be so fortunate!

Parent Reference

I write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Deborah Francis. She has worked for our family for over 5 years as our beloved nanny and unfortunately we have recently been unable to keep her employed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We initially chose Deborah as our nanny because we could tell she was loving and nurturing – that was our priority in seeking a nanny – and we will always be grateful for the love, warmth, and attention she gave to our children (now 3 and 5). Our kids were well cared for, safe, and happy in Deb’s care. There is nothing more important than that. Deb is a woman with many fine qualities and years of child care experience. She is hardworking, attentive, patient, honest, reliable, and generous. Her depth of experience with newborns to school aged kids has been a gift for our family. As babies, she rocked our kids when they were sick, read them books, sang to them, and brought them to playgroups and sing-a-longs. As they got older she took them to the park, the children’s museum, classes, school drop-off/ pick-up, and playdates. She was always attentive and close to them while out in the neighborhood, keeping a watchful eye. She helped prepare healthy meals and snacks, including fresh pureed foods when they were babies. She has a great work ethic, arriving on time each day, and willing to work any hours as needed when our own work demands arose. In addition, we have always been grateful for and comforted by Deb’s respectful advice and partnership – from breastfeeding tips, to guidance when the kids were sick. In addition, she has always been willing to help out in any way she could from cleaning up the kids’ toys, to laundry, dishes, and more. Beyond the day to day work, Deb has become a cherished part of our lives –we have gotten to know one another’s families and shared in special occasions together. My kids love and miss her already - as do we - and she will always be part of our family. You will be incredibly lucky if she is able to be part of yours too. If you have any additional questions or would like to discuss further, we are available by phone or email.

Parent Reference

Ginna has over twelve years’ experience with newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, up to teenagers. Ginna gave me so much confidence as a first-time mom when I was ready to go back to work. I was so nervous about leaving my son behind, but she helped make the transition so much easier because of her experience and the fact that she is a mother as well. She never made me feel that I was overbearing, and no request was too much for her to fulfill e.g. bringing him to my workplace for me to see him or sending tons of pictures throughout the day. She is very warm, loving, understanding, and very empathetic, she helped us in every way possible with our son. She always found new things to teach him and kept his brain stimulated which is especially important to her. She was always keeping him busy whether it was at the playground or on a playdate. She taught us how to help him play independently and trust me it helped when she was not around. I know the times are different now with this pandemic but Ginna always took the very best care of our son and always put his safety first and I know she will do the same for any family; she will go above and beyond. She will help make remote learning easier for your family and maintain all necessary protocols to keep your family safe. If your family is looking for someone who drives, she has been driving for more than seven years and has a clean driving record. Your family would be incredibly pleased with her because she will make everything easier for you.

Parent Reference

Morine is the best nanny we could have asked for, and we would like to find her a new home (we’ve left NY due to Covid).

A bit about Morine:

-Amazing understanding of child development. As a first time parent, I really value Morine’s understanding of development and milestones. She guided our whole family along in terms of “what comes next.”

-Experienced caregiver. Cared for our daughter from the time she was four months old until just over 3 years old. Morine has over 20 years of experience caring for children.

-Focus on structure and manners. Morine has helped raise our daughter to communicate well (please/thank you), have appropriate table manners, and demonstrate good behavior (eliminating/minimizing tantrums).

-Meticulous detail to cleanliness. Avoided germs and taught our daughter to do the same as well. Morine ensured that our home was left in great condition at the end of each day. She established good behavior with our daughter as well, in terms of washing hands and tidying up her toys.

-Great at networking and ensuring the socialization of our daughter. Morine built up a network of other caregivers in our area and would arrange to play dates with other children.

-Reliable. I could go to the office and have total peace of mind that my child was safe and well cared for and that my home was in order. Morine was totally in command and took her responsibilities very seriously. I didn’t receive calls when I was at the office, except for one occasion, when our daughter was violently ill. Morine exhibited excellent judgment.

-Punctual: In the almost three years she worked for us, I can’t recall Morine ever being late.

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 (8 and 5) 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 in 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.

Laundry: Yes, for kids only

Parent Reference

Our daughter is now in school full-time, so we only need childcare in the late afternoon. Sadly, that means our incredible nanny Zymin needs to find work full-time. She would also be open to part-time in the mornings so she could split time and still pick up our daughter from school. Zymin will make for a perfect nanny for a family looking for a caregiver to grow with their family and young child. She has been with us for four years, since our daughter was 10 weeks old. She has nurtured our child and also provided support for us as first-time parents. She demonstrates the perfect combination of warmth and professionalism. She has decades of experience nannying for NYC families, so the basics of keeping a little one on a schedule, making homemade baby food, and spotting signs of readiness to potty train, for example, are second nature to her. She is kind and personable and as nurtured our daughter to become a well-behaved and well-adjusted pre-schooler. As our daughter has grown up, Zymin has provided excellent care without babying her. Now working from home, we see their interactions more closely, and it warms our hearts to see and hear their conversations, as if they are old girlfriends. Zymin is incredibly dependable and responsible – arriving on time and keeping up with the variations in our daughter’s schedule with activities and classes. During the pandemic, her commitment to following the appropriate protocols has put our mind at ease so that we can maintain as much normalcy as possible during a crazy time. I can’t say enough about how highly we recommend Zymin for a family looking for a kind, experienced and responsible caregiver for their child. Feel free to reach out to her directly at 917.509.8833 or PM me.

duties

Travel: Yes, domestically only
Cook: Yes, for whole family
Laundry: Yes, for whole family
Cleaning: Yes, heavy cleaning
Live in/out: Only live-out

Parent Reference

We too have recently moved out of the Tri-State area and, with heavy hearts, had to let go of our beloved nanny, Pam. She was with us for over five years, caring for our son since he was two months old and then our youngest since birth. She became (and will always remain) a part of our family. The love and care she gave our boys (and all of us!) cannot be over-stated. Pam is not the kind of nanny sitting on the bench with her phone while keeping an eye on the kids. She is actively engaged in their care and she is so because it is her nature- she is driven to work her hardest because she genuinely cares about the happiness of the children (and family) she is caring for, and helping to raise good people. My stay-at-home mom friends would always tell me how lovely Pam was with our boys, how helpful she was during playdates, and how lucky we were to have someone so attentive taking care of our children. On several occasions, I even had neighbors I did not know approach me on the street as I walked with the boys in our neighborhood and say they recognized my boys from seeing them play with their nanny in the park, and wanted us to know we had a wonderful person taking care of them. In addition to her excellent care-taking abilities and having no problem keeping up with two very energetic boys, she is always on time (if not early), great at initiating routines and structure, very organized, neat, and tidy, and pro-active in making the days run smoother. She took care of all of our laundry (this is not something we even asked her to do), cleaning, and making well-balanced meals for the boys (and sometimes the whole family!). We miss her dearly and even asked if she could come stay with us for a period of time as we did not want to lose her. Unfortunately, she was not able to do so, but we would love to do what we can to help her find a wonderful family to help. If you have any questions at all, please do note hesitate to contact me.

Fernanda is a wonderful nanny who has been a part of our family for 14 years since my younger son was born. She is 100% trustworthy, reliable, caring, loving, and hardworking. 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.

Parent Reference

Nilda Diaz has been the nanny and caregiver of my two boys, Jack (almost 5) and Francis (3) for over four and a half years. She has tirelessly cared for my children, cooking them healthy meals, tending to them while sick, safely transporting them around New York to various activities and play dates and acting as their playmate and best friend at home. She is a phenomenal, thoughtful, patient and kind caregiver. Nilda is very focused on living a healthy lifestyle herself and has instilled that habit in our children. Nilda has been feeding Jack and Francis home cooked fresh meals since they started eating solid foods at six months old. She insisted she be responsible for pureeing their meals as and constantly varied the meals to get them both accustomed to all different tastes. As they have gotten older she has continued to instill wonderful eating habits in both of them with fruits and vegetables as part of every meal and snack. Good judgment is not something that you can teach an individual. Nilda is incredibly bright and has always practiced extremely good judgment in caring for our children. Whether it be on the playground, in the midst of terrible inclement weather, in a difficult interaction with other children, she is extremely shrewd and a good decision maker. She gives total focus to the boys and their safety at all time. Nilda is innately a very social individual. She is very outgoing which is extremely helpful as she is totally comfortable setting up playdates, networking with nannies to make friends with children of similar ages to ours and teaching the children how to be comfortable and confident while they make new friends. She doesn’t need to be asked or directed to do these things, she takes the initiative on her own. When I would arrive home in the evening, even after a full day with the boys, Nilda would be engaging them in some sort of fun activity to keep them engaged and happy at the witching hour, the most difficult time of the day. I would find them building a huge block tower, building a fort out of pillows, or doing some sort of dramatic play. Patience and compassion are two more qualities that cannot be taught to an individual. Nilda is rich in both. She has endured countless tantrums, fights and crying fits with pure grace. She works calmly and patiently to resolve whatever the issue is and works to guide children to a calmer reaction in the next go round. I highly recommend Nilda for any caregiver job as her strengths play to people with all sorts of varying needs.

We unexpectedly moved out of Manhattan and would love to find our wonderful nanny, Myrtle, a new family. Myrtle cared for our two children (now 1 and 3) when I went back to work and although she was only with us for a few short months, she immediately made a positive impression on us and we miss her dearly. Myrtle quickly synched up with our complicated schedule (while always keeping our home extremely tidy!) and took the initiative to arrange play dates with friends from our daughter’s school. She was great about getting the kids outside and involved in different activities, while still managing to prepare nutritious meals for them. She was always on time and flexible with us when we unexpectedly needed to work a little later. I could tell that Myrtle truly enjoys being a nanny and caring for children – she immediately bonded with the kids and was so sweet with them; she has a very loving demeanor. Prior to joining our family, Myrtle was with a number of families for over five years each – this speaks to what a great caregiver she is, and her other families will gladly give her similarly glowing references. One of the comments that really stuck out to me about Myrtle from her previous family was that their neighbors would always tell them, unprompted, what a great job she does with the children – we had a similar experience with a number of neighbors commenting to us how wonderful Myrtle is with the kids. While Myrtle would love the opportunity to work with another baby so that she can grow with the family, she is open to all families. She also prefers to work full time, but understanding we are in unusual times, she is open to starting out on a more part time basis with the expectation of moving to full time. Myrtle has the ability to drive. Please reach out with any questions. We will truly miss Myrtle, but we are hoping she finds a wonderful family to work with. Myrtle is truly a gem!

Francilia is a wonderful, nurturing, and endlessly patient nanny. Francilia has been with our family for three years and took care of our daughter from three months to three years old. As we move out of New York we want to ensure that she finds a wonderful family to join. She created a loving, structured and extremely happy environment for our daughter. She was a crucial part of our support system as my husband and I have demanding jobs. She provided us peace of mind that our daughter was *always* incredibly well cared for. Francilia was never late -- in fact, she was early almost every morning. She always arrived with a smile on her face and happy to see us and our daughter. She was always flexible when travel schedules resulted in us asking her to stay over. Francilia kept our daughter on a predictable nap and eating schedule while finding many activities to fill the days -- both organized classes and ad hoc trips to the park and library. Francilia cooked healthy meals and also preps some meals ahead of time and would leave us options for the weekend, which was so appreciated and is a great example of something she did to make our lives easier without needing to be asked. Our daughter adores Francilia, as do we, and we are so sad that COVID has meant that we've left New York. Francilia played such a crucial role in our family for the past three years and will be a lifelong friend. We would strongly recommend her as a nanny for any family. We are happy to speak to anyone, please don't hesitate to reach out.

My husband passed away this year so we decided to relocate to be closer to family or I would have kept Joan with us forever. The hardest part of the decision to leave Manhattan was leaving Joan. She will forever be a part of our family. She still FaceTimes my daughter and me almost daily and we both absolutely adore her. In 5 years she was never late (almost always early!). She cared for my daughter as though she was her own. If i could move her with us, I would. Joan would play with and teach my daughter all day. They were always reading or heading to the park, library or museum. The best part of all of it was that I always knew she was safe. I didn't have a worry in the world when she was with Joan. I truly can not say enough good about this woman. Any family would be lucky to have her!

She brings a positive, upbeat and absolutely loving presence into the life of our son, and we have been very lucky to have her in our lives. She joined us when our son was 5 months old, so I can speak directly to her sensitivity and supportive nature as a first-time mom of an infant. We learned a lot from her too. She helped introduce our little one to solid foods, gave him plenty of attention and activities, and socialized him with other children in play dates. Prelline is kind, loving, thoughtful, and conscientious, and was the only caregiver I met that truly made me feel like I could return to work after my mat leave. She has cared for infants and toddlers as well as older children, and has many years of experience caring for children in the city. We will miss having her calming and stabilizing presence every day.

Sharon spent 12 years with my family, she is someone who I trusted without question with my 2 girls from newborn through to middle school. Here are a few things that we love most about Sharon: - She is completely trustworthy with impeccable references dating back 20+ years. She has experience with newborns, toddlers, grade school, and teens - She stayed on top of all developmental milestones and engaged with our daughters in age-appropriate ways - Introduced our daughter to solids with delicious home-cooked meals, setting the foundation for her becoming a great eater. As the girls grew she provided them independence and modeled appropriate social skills. While the girls we young and I was away for work, Sharon was my partner…literally. She handled everything in a calm matter, getting her them the attention she needed while keeping me informed and calm. Sharon takes the initiative to set up playdates, find classes, and the girls out and about as much as possible - Our apartment was always clean and organized, the laundry is done and meals are cooked for the girls. Not that my girls are both in middle school, I am working from home, and we\'ve gotten to that stage we\'ve made the difficult decision not to have a nanny, I cried as I communicated this to Sharon. Honestly, the hardest thing was separating from someone my girls truly love and rely on. They still communicate with her via text, which I am very grateful for. In the world of Covid I would absolutely trust Sharon to be part of my family and to guide the girls through this truly challenging time. Above all Sharon was her for us and my girls in a way words cannot describe.

Shernelle is the sweetest, most professional nanny I ever had a chance to work with. I know many children she took care of still adore her, so much so she recently drove quite a distance to go to see a family before they moved out of town because the children wanted to see her one last time. My son can be very stubborn but she would patiently work with him to get him to eat vegetables/fruits, have manners, and engage in educational play that's suitable for his age. Can't recommend her enough.

THE MOST AMAZING PERSON!!! Adelina (Yaya) has been part of our family for six years. We moved to New York from Chicago with our six month old. We had demanding jobs and Yaya took care of our son with such love and dedication. In six years she showed up early every single day. With a smile on her face and always peaceful and calm throughout the day. She is the most patient person and taught our kids manners, patience and to be kind. She also taught them how to have a sense of humor and how to be playful. They all can play happily on their own and have an unreal sense of imaginary play and they love to play with others. Yaya would take them to classes, make friends with other parents and nannies and make playdates that we always felt excited/comfortable about. Yaya always made the house feel zen and calm. Our house was spotless, always cleaned, laundry done, kids well taken care of and spent time and effort preparing healthy meals for them. If we ever needed Yaya to stay late or come early she never hesitated and was always there for us and the kids she would also sleepover if we ever needed her to and or went on vacation. They felt her love all the time and so did we. We had two more kids in NY and Yaya would be the first person to come visit at the hospital. Yaya puts safety first and always makes sure the kids are in a safe, clean environment. She is very careful herself- especially with Covid and is willing to live in during the weeks. I have honestly never met a harder worker and someone who is so dedicated to their work. We miss her daily and FaceTime with her often as the kids can't wait to speak with her. She is so missed by us. Whoever hires Yaya will be so well taken care of and will be so fortunate to have found such a classy person. We moved states and that is why we no longer can be with Yaya.

Parent Reference

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 her 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 our daughter 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 free/inexpensive 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 her 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 (all of whom 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.

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!

Vedo is incredibly warm, loving, thorough, and flexible. She started working with my family when my daughter was 4 months old and has built a trusting relationship with all of us--most importantly with my daughter. Every morning, my daughter wakes up saying "Vedo!" in hopes that it'll be her who shows up to spend the day with her--even on a Saturday :) . Vedo is very COVID-conscious, and takes all precautions to keep our family, and hers, safe. She spends 3 days/week with our daughter, taking long walks and exploring the neighborhood, playing, reading, singing, and learning. Vedo truly values education, with two older sons in prestigious schools. Currently, her husband drives her to us in the mornings and we drive her home in the evenings, just to help keep her off public transportation. But, she is open to taking transit safely for the right family. And in case you're wondering, we are moving to be closer to family, which is why we can no longer keep Vedo with us (though we did try to find a thousand ways to make it work). If you are interested in someone like Vedo for part-time help with your infant or toddler, please reach out. I'm happy to chat! - Vicky

It's with a heavy heart that I wrote this post. Due to covid and our reduced work schedule, we have to part with our beloved nanny, Drue - or DrueDrue as the kids call her ? She has been with our family for the past 3 years, since our son was 3 months old and she has cared for him as if he was her own. She's sleep trained him, potty trained him at only 20 months, taught him to share and so much more! With each new phase, she has adjusted her care and their routine as he's mastered new skills. She has stayed overnight when we traveled for work and always goes above and beyond, bringing snacks, organizing parties with other children in the neighborhood for holidays, and is constantly mixing up their daily activities to encourage his development. Each night, we come home from work to find a happy, well loved kid and our house more tidy than we left it. We can't recommend her enough! We would love to work with Dru for the rest of 2020 but more than anything, we want to see her find a wonderful, new family to work with and will sort out other arrangements for our son if an earlier start time helps her to secure a new full time position.

I am writing to recommend our wonderful nanny, Vicky, as we are sadly leaving the city. Vicky has been with our family for more than 4 years, joining when my older son was 2.5 and I was pregnant with my second. Stay at home parents would go out of their way to tell me how great she was with my children when I wasn’t around, and she formed relationships with other moms and nannies in our neighborhood. Vicky is warm, loving, quick to laugh, energetic, extremely safe with the kids, completely trustworthy, and has an amazing work ethic. She loves my boys like they’re her own and the whole family adores her. She still keeps in touch with the previous families she worked for, and I spoke to all of them as references before I hired her—the references were all stellar. Vicky never missed a day of work in 4 years, and routinely showed up at least half an hour early, at 6:30 in the morning, and would just start working. I’d have to remind her to leave in the evening. She was flexible to stay late if I was running late from work. She would take my kids all over the city on buses and subways to museums, the zoos, libraries, central park, natural history museum, etc. Nothing phases Vicky, she can handle anything that comes up in the household or any change of plans. She also managed our household—she had our credit card and did the cooking (she’s a great cook) and household shopping for us. She also kept the apartment spotless, even though that was not part of her job description. She has been extremely cautious with Covid, and I would trust her completely to take whatever precautions a family needs. She can start immediately, but can also wait as needed to find the right family. I am happy to speak with anyone for references.

Our wonderful nanny is available and looking for a new family (we now need a driver, and unfortunately, Stacy does not drive; otherwise, we would not let her go!). Stacy looked after my two sons (2 and 3.5) and was so good and caring with them (and they are high-energy little guys, so they can be a handful!). She is kind, honest, hardworking, and funny. She is also incredibly clean and tidy - she ironed my kids' clothes! She really created such a good routine about hand washing and teeth brushing and other aspects of hygiene - I would have never thought that was possible with my kids, but she is really great at creating and getting the kids to stick to routines. Stacy is incredibly easy to work with - she is flexible and understanding, and straightforward. She can start immediately. She lives by herself and is very cautious about COVID concerns so that she can stay very safe.

Tessa is a valued member of our extended family, and we love her very much. It will be extremely difficult to part ways after 6 years together, but our family is moving out of state, so we are hoping to find her another loving home. I cannot think of one negative way to describe Tessa; we got so lucky when we found her. She joined our family when my son was 3 months old and was there for my daughter's birth. My son is now 5.5, and my daughter is 3, so she has experience with newborns, toddlers, kindergartners, and older children from a past position. Prior to joining our family, she was with a family for 13 years, and she was with another family for 5 years before that. I never had to worry about the children when "TT" was looking after them. The children were always fed well, and she was always prepared with extra clothing at the park in case of an accident. I think her reliability and preparedness are probably some of her best features. Tessa never randomly called out or made any excessive requests. We could always count on her, and I think that is one of the most important things when looking for a nanny. She is warm and caring, but not a pushover. Tessa was always somebody we could count on. One Saturday afternoon, during my pregnancy with my daughter, I was very faint and had to go to the hospital. We have no family in NYC, so we called Tessa, and she came to our house immediately. It was great to know that we had somebody we could depend on like that. She never had a problem if we had to stay late at work; she is experienced and physically fit. I don't think I can do her justice by describing her in writing, so please call us so that we can tell you first-hand how great she is.

I wanted to post for our wonderful former nanny. Her new family is moving to NJ to have more space and she needs to find a new family to grace with her love and warmth and tremendous trustworthiness. So I thought I’d post for her here... Wynelle Gonzales worked with our family as a nanny for almost 5 years, starting when our first daughter was 20 months old and our second daughter was 4 months away from being born. She worked for us both in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. \"Care\" is the word that comes to mind really; Wynelle cares in the most extraordinary way. She cared deeply about our children and about doing the best job she could as a professional nanny. I know this aspect of her personality is also tremendously important during the pandemic; while she was working for her current family, she was so careful about not coming into contact with others while the pandemic was raging. When she worked for us, she generally worked until 6:30pm, but she rarely left right on time. Every day for 4 1/2 years, Wynelle insisted on staying until she felt like she had completed everything she meant to do that day. In addition to caring for our girls, she helped with cleaning around the house and cared for all our girls' things. And she plays. I've never met anyone as good at endlessly imagining games, building puzzles, and running around playgrounds. Teachers and other moms were constantly telling me how impressed they were by her when I was not around. She read to our girls all the time, ever since they were babies. She did art projects with them and took them to activities around the neighborhood. She is infinitely trustworthy and responsible -- partially, I think, because she cares so much about what she does. She is never on her cell phone unless it's to organize a play date. And she is fantastic to work with. She is happy to follow your lead and also happy to take charge if you want her to. She is the ultimate \"team player\" in that way; I really love working with her. She just has such a great attitude and she is such a loving, beautiful person. We have been so lucky to have her in our lives. Her cell is +1 (347) 276-7005. Her email is [email protected] Feel free to call me to talk more. My cell is 646-645-6668.

We have known Nima both professionally and, over the years, more personally, and she is an amazing nanny and would be a welcome asset to any family. We recently moved from NYC to California temporarily, and given that we will be working remotely for the foreseeable future, we are hoping to find Nima a new family. She was with us for over 4 years (and with her prior employer for even longer), and for context cared for our older son from ages 6 months to 5 and our younger son from 0-3 and managed activities including both at home, shuttling them to and from school, etc. Some of her best qualities are: 1. Warm, loving, and kind – was complimented my numerous parents, even neighbors, that my nanny was so tender and caring for our children 2. Dependable – was late at most 2 times in the 4+ years she was with us, let alone being sick (not sure she ever took any sick days), and those were because there were copious subway delays. She was also flexible as it related to managing around our work hours (in pre-Covid environment) 3. Managing picky eaters – both my kids hated to eat, and Nima made meal times fun for them 4. Manners – my children are kind, thoughtful, and exceedingly polite due to Nima’s gentle reminders 5. Innovative – Nima constantly helped us try out new toys, schedules, playgrounds, playdates etc, and was very open about what worked for our children and what didn’t 6. Trustworthy – I was never worried about my children when they were with Nima and she sent pictures when I was traveling since she knew I missed them Every interaction Nima had with our family was simply genuine and we look back very fondly at how fortunate we were to have her in our lives. Had it not been for the pandemic and the changing circumstances, we would still have her with us. I cannot recommend her highly enough and am happy to address any questions you have.

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.

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. She is also currently taking classes to renew her driver’s license. 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. 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.

Sue is an AMAZING nanny who has worked with us for the last two years and has truly become part of our family. She started working with us when our son was a newborn and has been with us ever since. We are so sad to lose Sue as our nanny, but unfortunately we are relocating and she is unable to follow us. Any parent would be lucky to have her as a nanny. She is a godsend with newborns. My husband and I actually call her the baby whisperer because she was able to put and keep our son asleep for hours on end. While our son napped, she was very proactive in preparing homemade baby food for him, cleaning up any messes he made, and doing his laundry. Honestly, with Sue around, you couldn’t even tell we had a baby in the house! In addition to her duties in the house, Sue made it a priority to help socialize our son and routinely planned play dates, park outings, library story times, etc. It really has made a difference in his demeanor around other kids. Because of her, our son is so friendly and open to playing with new children. She is extremely reliable and punctual, is CPR certified, and is always present with our son (never distracted on her phone). Sue is also very careful when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness, especially during COVID. She is constantly washing her hands and our son’s hands, disinfecting after returning to the house, and always wears a mask when outside. I highly recommend Sue for your nanny needs. You won’t be disappointed!

Hazel is an amazing nanny who is looking for a new family. We found her through this website and have been very happy with her. She is very dependable, responsible, and professional and we are changing our work schedules so will no longer need her. She helped us care for our two year old and our 2 month old. The family we found her from had worked with her for over 6 years and had glowing reviews also. Hazel has taken the children to classes and spent lots of the day outside, keeping them entertained, active and social. She'd take the kids to parks, the zoo, museums, etc. She has done meal prep, laundry, and some light cleaning around the house. We could not recommend her more highly and we hope she can find another loving family. She is available starting immediately and she can work only Monday through Thursday. I can share more details if you are interested in. Thank you.

Our wonderful and incredibly dependable former nanny Sonia Henry is available for full-time work. Sonia was previously with our family for nearly 4 years. She started with us when our son was 2.5 years old and took care of our daughter from the time she was a newborn. 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.

Janice has been our nanny and truly a part of our family for 3 years, caring for our two sons 3.5 and infant. She has over 30 years of experience caring for children and is truly a professional at it in every sense of the word. I have learned so much about raising children under her guidance – from transitioning from bottles to sippy cups to potty training to managing through my older son becoming a big brother. She has always been 3 steps ahead of me in anticipating what my children need, understanding them and caring for them as though they are on her own. And the best part about her is that she does it with grace and gentle guidance and never makes me feel like she’s telling me what to do. A few things to highlight that stand out to me about what she has done for us: 1. Teaching my children manners – my son says please, thank you, cleans up after himself thanks to her proactive and continued discipline during the day while we are at work 2. Patiently showing him what it means to be independent -washing his hands, going potty, putting his dishes in the sink. 3. Having fun with him. The games, the jokes the laughs, my son is so happy just being with her at the park, playground museum or really wherever they go. 4. Giving us peace of mind. Through every stage I have never once doubted that my children are in the best care with Janice in our home. We are relocating out of the city and Janice lives 2 hours away so we are parting ways with her only because of the geographic circumstances. I cannot say enough about what she has done for us and would highly recommend her to any family. If you have questions/want to learn more, please contact me, or Janice (and she also has at least 3 other amazing reference families that can speak to her time with them).
