Our amazing nanny, Danielle, is looking for a new family! We would love to continue working with her, but we’ve decided to put our son in daycare so that he gets more social time with other kids. Danielle joined us last fall, when our son was 7 months old, after our daycare unexpectedly closed. A friend of ours who previously worked with Danielle for several years strongly recommended that we reach out to her. So we did, and she really saved us from a stressful situation! Danielle immediately bonded with our son and helped us navigate various transitions during his first year — eating solids, drinking from a cup, walking, you name it. She’s warm and caring, while at the same time fiercely protective of our son, which immediately put me, a first-time mom, at ease. Danielle also believes in talking to kids clearly and directly, which has helped our son develop his language skills. It has always been clear that Danielle views her role, in part, as being our son’s biggest advocate. That has meant helping him build his confidence at the play gym — and even telling us when we should consider buying different toys, cups, etc. It’s one of the many things that I’ve loved about working with her. I can’t recommend Danielle highly enough!

We are pleased to recommend Erica as a nanny. She was a part of our family for eight years and demonstrated great care for our children. Erica was responsible for a variety of tasks, including childcare, light housework, and driving the kids to school and activities. She has a caring, calm demeanor and a natural ability to connect with young children, fostering a nurturing environment. She is trustworthy in all aspects of her work.

Parent Reference

I am pleased to provide this reference for Lucretia (Pat) Jackman, whom our family has been lucky to know since 2018. I met Pat originally through a Mommybites reference years ago, for whom she worked for 5+ years. Currently Pat can be flexible, can live out and is open to live in positions. She is well equipped for either baby nurse or full time nanny positions. Pat is a true professional, dependable, intelligent, and genuine. She is everything we could have wanted for our kids and family for six years, starting from day one supporting the needs of two working parents in demanding jobs requiring travel. She was a committed, stable constant through the various stages, COVID, and multiple moves. Pat formed warm relationships with our friends and the grandparents too! On several occasions, parents and observers would find me to tell me what an incredibly proactive and attentive nanny Pat is. She inspires confidence and is personable, often a key person in bringing others together. She initiated meet ups, connected families, and put together events to make our kids feel special. Pat has exceptional skills in childcare, including creating and keeping to schedules, preparing meals, maintaining a hygienic, neat, and safe environment, and going above and beyond what is required to show she cares. She is an expert in the baby stage, such as establishing a sleep and feeding rhythm (including sleep training when ready), helping parents with nursing, pumping, formula and bottle feedings, bathing the baby, and the ever challenging task of cutting baby nails. She has a natural ability to engage with children as they grow, fostering a warm, creative, and educational environment. She helps children to develop new skills with confidence and navigate evolving, social dynamics. Led by a keen and genuine interest in enrichment, Pat provides strong scaffolding for kids to explore. When my son was learning how to walk, for example, she quickly established a routine of exercises for him at home, unprompted. When he later showed an initial interest in math, she was first to create worksheets to elevate his knowledge. Most importantly, she is trustworthy, honest, and fiercely protective. There is no doubt in my mind that our children were safe when in her care. Her punctuality and reliability are invaluable. She always arrived with at least 15 minutes to spare. Pat approaches every day with a positive attitude and joy, while taking her job very seriously. She is hardworking, proactive, efficient, and always thinks 5 steps ahead. She, for instance, would pack the kid's bags well in advance for our weekend getaways without being asked. Pat completes tasks methodically and quickly and takes feedback and direction well. Especially important in working in such a personal setting, she knew when to give us space, but was present and proactive when she could provide guidance. She offers flexibility in terms of schedule on nights and weekends and can travel domestically and internationally. She travelled with us often. When she had spare time as my son grew older, she cooked for the family and loved sharing delicious cuisine from Trinidad. She is a rare gem, and I would welcome any conversation to tell you more about her.

Parent Reference

I am writing to recommend Semone Prescott as a nanny for your family. Semone looked after my son for nearly two years and she performed diligently throughout her tenure. Semone is a loving, energetic and nurturing nanny and a testament to her quality is how my son turned out under her care: Respectful, loving and kind. She was highly motivated to learn as much as she could and performed extremely well utilizing her best capabilities. She frequently devoted herself for long hours to develop lesson plans for my children and monitor their progress. Semone was flexible, reliable and quick to adapt to our rapid-fire pace. Particularly, she is very skilled in: • Supervising children and caring for their needs • She helped our newborn reached each milestone through play • Planning, preparing and serving meals for children • Bathing, dressing and feeding infants and children • Preparing formulas and changing diapers Semone has a number of strengths but her main strength – according to my observation – is her capability to motivate children. She always seemed genuinely interested in children’s mental development and presented new ways of learning that captured their attention. Safety, trust, love, reliability, and common sense are her biggest assets; parents of children in her care never need to worry if their children are safe or well taken care of in the home or outside the home when she is working. Whether feeding and bathing a baby, overseeing playdates, watching on the playground, monitoring an illness, or picking-up/dropping-off at activities, her attention is on the kids at 110%. They are her priority at all times and her eyes and ears (and heart) are never turned off. In summary, Semone possess all qualities that make a nanny successful. She is very reliable, trustworthy, motivated, and able to make herself tune-up with the requirements of family and children. Once again, I highly recommend her for a nanny position.

Parent Reference

Severiana (Seve for short) is an absolute gem. She took care of our son for over 3 years, from when he was 2 months old until we moved out of the NY area this summer. She is hoping to care for an infant, but is flexible and is excellent with all ages. She is incredibly reliable, responsive, and flexible. She has played a critical role in our son’s development since he was a newborn. He is fluent in Spanish thanks to her! For us, she did light cleaning around the house and occasional (delicious) cooking, but would be open to other arrangements. She has a very gentle and playful manner with kids, and an innate understanding of child development. She was always intentionally working on something with our son (in a natural, not intense way), from his behavior to reading/playing, self care skills, to getting along with other kids. She was very proactive about taking him out to the park or library and setting up playdates with other kids. She is very easy to work with - very receptive to feedback and no drama. We were on the same page about everything in terms of behavioral management, safety, healthy food, screen time, etc... She is looking for another family to grow with and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Parent Reference

Lisa is the only nanny my children have ever had. She's been with us about 14 years from when my son was 3 months old. We hired her because I was returning to work. She had amazing references, but they didn't do justice to how great she was for our family. She is an absolute must hire for a new mother. Lisa taught me how to be organized and made me a better mother. She showed me how to do things better. I highly recommend her to any family, and she can manage more than one child easily even if one is an infant. I think new moms like I was would especially benefit from her several decades of experience. Her first morning with us she arranged my son's room in a more sensible fashion, found clothes I didn't know he had and got him on a more rational feeding schedule that allowed me more time between breast feedings. I had no concerns going back to work with both of my children so long as she was there. (I had my son's sister 2.5 years later) Lisa was so wonderful for our family. As my kids grew, she was right there, showing me how to better care for them as they got older telling me what I needed to do to make sure as our family grew the kids adjusted. It’s rare to find someone who is as effective and helpful with an infant as she is with a teenager. Lisa is smart, savvy, CLEAN, and she has a wonderful way with children of all ages. She also gets along with the whole family from grandparents to kids. My mother is the only living grandparent and thinks of her as a second daughter and will call her directly about the kids. When the children were infants, she had them on a feeding and nap schedule. She'd read to them and walk them in the stroller. She would accompany them to music and tumbling classes. As they got older, she would accompany them to and from school. She attended games and theatre productions and would even help me when I would volunteer for school activities. She would dress up for Halloween when my 10 year old wanted us to be a box of crayons for her school's Trunk or Treat festivities. She would prepare lunches, breakfast, snacks and help them with homework and check their Kumon. She works very hard. She is a planner and makes sure to get the kids to their engagements early. She works very quickly - cleaning, dressing, bathing. (Well, she is faster than me.) She's quick but still thorough. She's an excellent cook. My children love her traditional cooking. She was a great sous chef when my children's father cooked. She also follows recipes well and can make just about anything. I had no issue returning to work with my children in her care. She was so helpful when I had my second child. I travel for work, and she stays with the children when I am away. She is family to us especially my children. We love her very much.

Our beloved nanny, Nora, is now available and looking to bring her warmth, dedication, and expertise to a new family -- as our family's needs have changed. Nora helped raise our daughter from just five months old until her recent 2nd birthday, and we couldn’t have asked for a more caring and capable caregiver. Throughout her time with us, Nora’s presence was invaluable. She was always on time, maintained a clean home environment, and was extremely flexible with my husband and my crazy work schedules—often coming early or staying late when we needed her. Neighbors, teachers, and other families frequently complimented how well Nora took care of our daughter, praising her gentle, attentive care. Nora sent us pictures throughout the day to keep us updated about their day together. Nora was wonderful at keeping our daughter active and engaged -- often taking her to the park, library, and other activities to encourage her development and social skills. She cultivated friendships with other nannies, helping our daughter socialize with other children early on. She was also proactive in ensuring our daughter always had what she needed, and letting us know whether it was time to buy new shoes, try new snacks, size up on diapers, etc. Although she is experienced with various age groups, Nora would ideally like to start with a baby, providing the same nurturing start she gave our family early on. If you’re searching for a wonderful, experienced nanny to be part of your family, don’t miss the chance to meet Nora! Please text or call her directly; I'm happy to provide additional information if needed!

Sam is a phenomenal nanny and caregiver for little ones! We engaged her as a part-time nanny for 3+ months while we were on a waitlist for daycare (during ages 3-6 months). Sam was incredibly engaged and proactive with our daughter, even starting at young infancy. Our daughter was never bored when she was here! Sam did daily stretches/exercises to help our daughter use and get to know her body. She sang songs, for fun and to help teach concepts, like days of the week. She read books, introduced colors and animal sounds, and did lots of tummy time. All of this fun stuffs in addition to taking care of the basics like feeding, diapering, and napping. Sam has been amazing at following our daughter’s cues as well, keeping her happily engaged and avoiding overstimulation. She has helped with nap training and with introducing solids. She is gentle, firm, funny, and confident all at once, and I can tell that our daughter was always at the forefront of her mind when she was here. Sam let me take the lead with everything I wanted to, but also had the expertise to answer my questions or help me brainstorm when I didn’t know what to do. Having her these months really helped me in the transition of going back to work. She helped me feel confident and competent as a new mom - while also providing safe and loving care so that I could relax while figuring out how to be a professional again. Logistically, Sam was a good fit for us as well. She was very good at staying in touch, whether it was scheduling or sending photos the days that I was in the office. Since my partner and I WFH a lot, it’s been important to us that is she so easy to be around. Working with Sam has helped me see a value in nannying that I didn’t believe before. After working with her, my partner and I discussed, for the first time, the possibility of not doing daycare and staying with the nanny model because we enjoyed having her so much. Ultimately, we decided daycare was still the best choice for us, though we really miss having Sam here every week. If you are an amazing family with some sweet kids that need some engaging, loving, and fun care, please reach out to me or Sam so that she can help your little ones thrive like she did with ours!
