Cheryl is an experienced, professional nanny who has been a treasured part of our family for three years now. She joined us when my youngest son was 5 months old, and immediately sleep trained him which changed our lives for the better! The kids absolutely adore her. She is firm with them when she needs to be, but her overall demeanor is incredibly kind. She has wonderful instincts and I’ve relied on her expertise countless times. My oldest is now in elementary school and our needs for full time care have changed, so I want to help Cheryl find a wonderful family to share her gifts. She has a car and would prefer to work with a family outside the city, Westchester or similar. Her hours with me were five days a week, 8am to 6pm.

We met MariaRosa at the start of the pandemic when our oldest daughter had just turned one. We immediately felt a good connection and after a couple months began using her as our full time nanny. We never had to give much instruction, MariaRosa jumped right in and began helping us with everything. She was lovely with our daughter and kept her busy with activities and outings to the park. She kept on top of all of our daughters needs and would buy new outwear or shoes whenever she outgrew old items. She helped our daughter learn how to walk and was constantly working on helping her learn new words and songs. She kept our home tidy and our daughter’s room organized. She would box up old clothes as our daughter outgrew them and keep everything labeled. She did laundry for our whole family and helped make meals and snacks for our daughter. When our oldest started school she helped with school drop offs and pick ups and taking her to various after school activities. She would have everything ready like the ballet bag packed and soccer bag packed with all needed clothing changes and snacks and drinks. She also organized play dates with other Nanny’s and classmates after school. When our younger daughter was born she was there helping us the whole time. She stayed with our older daughter for three days while we were in the hospital and worked very long days in those early weeks helping in any way she could. She was so sweet and most people thought she was a relative. She helped watch our newborn daughter while our oldest was in school and then they would all go out together in the afternoons before returning for dinner. Last year both our girls were in school and she helped in the mornings with drop off and then would help with laundry and housework during the morning and then would do two different school pickups and took the girls to all their afternoon activities.

MariaRosa also traveled with my family a few times. She would have the girls packed beforehand and everything would be labeled by day. She helped watch the girls in transit and helped have them ready for each days activities and then watched them at the hotel or helped with bedtime routine each night.
A couple trips we took we left our girls at home and MariaRosa would stay with them while we were away.

I cannot sing her enough praise. She is truly an amazing nanny and we were so sad to part ways. She was with us for about five and a half years. We only parted ways because we had to move out of state for my husbands job. I’m happy to answer any additional questions you may have.

Avis was with our family for the last 5 years. She worked with our family and helped us take care of our newborn up to this point. My husband and I are relocating the reason why she is looking for a new opportunity. She is kind, patient and caring, Avis takes care of our kids as if she is taking care of her own kids, which she has raised 2 kids of her own and helped her daughter raise 2 grandkids. Avis takes it seriously how she treats the kids, she reads with the kids and takes them to the park. Avis was a good addition to our family and will be a great addition to your family also.

Lisa is exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, demonstrating both smarts and practical savvy in her approach to childcare. She takes pride in maintaining a clean and organized environment, ensuring that the spaces where children play and learn are always tidy and welcoming. Her ability to connect with children of all ages is truly remarkable, as she adapts her care and communication style to meet each child’s unique needs.

She worked for us for 13 years, starting when my first born was an infant, and my children and I love her like she is our family.

Beyond her relationship with the children, Lisa also interacts seamlessly with every member of the family. She fosters positive relationships not just with the kids, but also with grandparents and other relatives, making her an integral part of the household dynamic. Her friendly and respectful demeanor helps cultivate a harmonious atmosphere within the family, further highlighting her exceptional interpersonal skills.

When both of my kids were babies, she maintained an organized feeding and nap schedule. It totally helped me manage breastfeeding SO MUCH better and I got my life and my boobs back! She also regularly read to them and as most parents know, kids have a favorite book. Lisa holds the record for reading Max the Minnow to my son I think 37 times IN ONE NIGHT. The max I did was 22. He loved that book so much that it fell apart and had to get another one. That speaks to her level of dedication and she knew reading was most important to my ex-husband and I. She also took them for walks in the stroller, and accompanied them to music and tumbling classes. As they progressed in age, she ensured their safe transit riding with them to and from nursery school in an uber. She prepared meals and snacks for them, and as they got older assisted with kumon homework.

She demonstrates exceptional diligence and planning skills, consistently ensuring punctuality for the children’s appointments. Her efficiency is notable—she manages cleaning, dressing, and bathing tasks swiftly and thoroughly.

Her culinary abilities are outstanding; the children highly appreciate her traditional dishes. However, she can follow a recipe and can prepare a wide variety of meals for the kids. I will just say that feeding them food from her background and our background really helped develop their palates. My kids eat spicy food now and are willing to try foods from all cultures. I can’t say they always LIKE them but they at least try.

So I was a new mom and man oh man did I need help but I didn’t know it. I mean I have a Masters! Yeah I did NOT have on in MOM’ing. I will NEVER forget 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. With her support, I felt fully assured returning to work, knowing my children were in capable hands.

Her guidance helped me develop organizational skills and improved my approach to parenting. I will always be a working Mom. Just like I have colleagues at work who are experts in their field. I regard her as a “childcare colleague” who continuously demonstrated best practices rather than simply completing assigned tasks. I confidently recommend her to any family, as she is capable of managing multiple children, including infants. New mothers in particular will benefit from her extensive experience.

I also got a wonderful new friend who I will always respect and adore. If we weren’t in to process of leaving NY for my job, I would not be posting on MommyBites.

Sandra cared for our children from 2016 to 2020.

During her time with our family, Sandra proved to be an exceptionally reliable, kind-hearted, and capable caregiver. She created a warm, structured, and nurturing environment for our children, balancing play and learning while always
maintaining a calm, confident demeanor—even in challenging situations.

One of Sandra’s greatest strengths is her genuine love for children and her ability to connect with them on their level. Whether organizing creative indoor activities or encouraging outdoor exploration, she always brought energy,
attentiveness, and joy to her work. Our children grew to trust her deeply and looked forward to their time with her each day. She was also incredibly dependable—arriving on time, communicating clearly, and taking her responsibilities seriously. She ensured routines were followed, meals were healthy and timely, and the house was left tidy. Her respect for our family’s values and her ability to anticipate needs made her an indispensable part of our household and someone we ultimately considered a member of our family.

It’s difficult to put into words how much Sandra has meant to our family. While we are sad to part ways during the pandemic when we moved from NYC, we wholeheartedly support her in future opportunities and are confident she
will be a tremendous asset to any family. Sandra excels with all ages of children.
