Nannies in Westchester

Our wonderful former nanny, Yvonne Brissett, is looking for her next long-term family. Yvonne was a true partner to my husband and me in raising our child. She made it possible for us to balance demanding careers with parenting—giving us total peace of mind that our little one was safe, happy, and thriving.

From day one, Yvonne made our child her top priority. She became deeply attuned to their needs and encouraged independence, curiosity, and learning. She celebrated milestones, engaged in real (not baby talk) conversations, and created a joyful, loving environment.

Beyond her exceptional care, Yvonne was a joy to have in our home. She’s energetic, funny, and professional. She traveled with us frequently—both with our child and when we needed care while traveling solo.

A few additional highlights:

20+ years of experience as a career nanny, with a background in hospitality—she’s warm, polished, and communicative

Extremely reliable and punctual—critical for us with our long and often unpredictable work hours

Flexible and accommodating—always willing to stay late or adjust plans on short notice

Goes above and beyond on household tasks—handled all child-related chores and more (dishes, tidying, grocery runs, tracking supplies like diapers and wipes)

Development-focused—suggested toys and activities to support learning, read regularly with our child, and encouraged language development from an early stage

An excellent communicator with family and community—kept grandparents updated with photos and FaceTimes, and built friendly relationships with others in our daily life like our housekeeper and doormen

Yvonne is hoping to find a loving, long-term family. Please feel free to reach out to her directly—or I’m happy to answer any questions or chat further about our experience.

Sil is wonderful caretaker and a collaborative partner to us in providing care for our daughter.

Sil is great with newborns and is a terrific source of support in those early hectic days. Sil joined us in November 2020, in the height of the Covid pandemic. At that time, our daughter, who was born prematurely, was still quite small and vulnerable. Sil diligently followed the detailed schedule of every 2 hour feedings, giving supplements, thawing breast milk, giving baths, and putting down for naps. She was a loving presence; she talked, sang, gave massages, cuddled and rocked. As I returned to full time work, she helped with everything from making sure I stayed hydrated and washing pumping equipment.

Sil is active and hands-on. She is extremely creative, and loves to work on art and crafts, do puzzles, and tell stories. And she is great about finding activities and making connections. She makes walks to the supermarket, pharmacy, or the neighborhood chickens into fun learning opportunities. She developed a relationship with the child librarian who kept her abreast of all the activities. As a result, our daughter was a regular participant in everything, from storytime to kid yoga.

Sil is patient, kind, and accommodating, implementing a wide variety of strategies to help our daughter feel comfortable and take part in her activities. Together, they have successfully navigated art, ballet, gymnastics, and birthday parties.

As we prepare for full-time school in the next few months, thinking about saying goodbye to Sil is bittersweet; we’ll miss having her around every day, but she has been instrumental in us getting to this point.

Our wonderful, caring and patient nanny Marcia, will be available for her next lucky family July 7th! Our daughters took to Marcia immediately, and over the past year they have developed a very special bond. Marcia treats our daughters as if they were her own. She keeps them busy, taking them to museums, libraries and playgrounds. They have playdates with their friends often. Marcia is a true partner, always putting our children\’s\’ needs first. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Our wonderful, full-time nanny of seven years is looking for another family. She has been with our family since our youngest was a baby, and we are now ready to move on to part-time care. She is reliable, caring, energetic and responsible and has helped us with getting our two kids to and from school and activities, arranging play dates, doing laundry, cooking and many other household chores and errands. She is willing to work anywhere from southern Connecticut through Westchester.

I am honored to write this recommendation for Regina, who has been an extraordinary part of our lives for many years. She has lovingly cared for all four of my children since they were babies, and through her dedication, warmth, and support, she has truly become a member of our family.

Regina is everything you would hope for in a nanny—nurturing, dependable, patient, and incredibly in tune with each child’s individual needs. She has helped raise our children with love, structure, and kindness, and they absolutely adore her.

We trust her completely, which is why she has traveled with us everywhere—both domestically and internationally—helping maintain a sense of stability and care no matter where we are. Her presence brings a sense of calm and joy to our family, and her support has been invaluable in every setting.

It is difficult to put into words just how much Regina means to us. She is more than a caregiver—she is family, and any household would be lucky to have her.
