Nannies in Westchester

I would like to recommend Faye, who worked with our family for more than seven years as a nanny and household caregiver. During that time, she cared for our two boys from early childhood until they were 12 and 9 years old. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had her as such an important part of our family.

Faye cared for our children with remarkable dedication, kindness, and patience. She treated them as if they were her own, providing not only attentive supervision but also genuine love, encouragement, and support. She helped them with homework, ensured they stayed on top of their responsibilities, and safely transported them to and from school, activities, and appointments. We were very grateful for her calm and dependable nature.

As the kids got older, In addition to her childcare responsibilities, Faye also helped with our household. She assisted with cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, and maintaining an organized home.

What sets Faye apart most is the deep bond she formed with our family. Over the years, she became much more than an employee—she became family. Her commitment to our children and our family as a whole left a lasting impact on all of us.

Our decision to part ways with Faye was solely due to our relocation out of state. If we had remained in the area, we would have been thrilled to continue having her as part of our family.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information.

Shalini

Our nanny is becoming available and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. She has over 25 years of experience, including previous baby nurse experience, so she is especially amazing with newborns. She cooks, cleans for the kids, and keeps everything organized. She also keeps the children very active and engaged, taking them to Gymboree, the library, the park, and playdates. She is loving, patient, dependable, and truly helped shape my children into the polite kids they are today. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Rolande has worked with us for 5.5 years taking care of our now 7 yr old, 6 yr old, and 3 yr. old. She started when my 2nd was just 6 months and proved herself very capable of managing three young children. She helped us with school pick-up and drop-off both within Manhattan and when we moved up to Westchester County. She pays close attention to the children and has always kept them safe.
She is independently capable and very proactive in finding activities for the children by making playdates, finding local activities, taking the kids to the playground, and going to the library. Rolande managed the timing of naps, school pickups, snacks, etc. without blinking an eye. The kids feel very close to her and really enjoy spending time with her.
She is multilingual and we appreciated that she spoke French to our children, but she is also a fluent English speaker. She was always on time and very communicative with my husband and I to coordinate care, activities, and share photos of the kids’ adventures of the day. She helped our kids with getting out the door in the morning and prepared their lunches. Even though housekeeping was not part of her responsibility, she often found little ways to help clean up the kitchen or sweep up the kids crumbs. She always left things in better shape than when she arrived without us having to ask her.
She occasionally babysat for us in the evenings or on the weekend when it worked out for everyone’s schedules. When she did, she had no problem getting the kids fed, bathed, and into bed on time. We have really appreciated having her and are reluctantly letting her go because our kids will all be in school next year.

Ernie was with our family for thirteen years, starting when our older daughter was a toddler and then taking care of our younger daughter as well from birth. Ernie handled everything: bottle feeding and diaper changes; the transition to solid foods; arranging playdates; shuttling the kids to lessons and practices; making sure they did their homework. She also did laundry, cleaned, ran errands, and made dinner for our family. She even walked the dog sometimes. She was flexible with her hours, coming in early and staying late when needed. She was patient with kids’ tantrums. She genuinely loved the kids. Being a nanny is a calling for her. She became a member of our family. We’d trust her with anything. We could not recommend her more highly.

This is a reference for Anita Rock. Anita has been our family’s nanny for our three children (who are now 9, 8, and 5) over the past three years. She has been a “super nanny” – in every sense of the phrase.

Prior to coming to us, Anita had worked over the course of nearly 30 years with two other families, both (obviously) for extended periods of time. When we spoke to them, they truly raved about her, about her commitment, her communications, and the degree to which she became a critical part of their families.

Anita has every bit lived up to this in her work with us and our children. She is genuinely a third parent – takes deep ownership over her job; has (almost unbelievably) not taken a day off in three years; is open to working when sick, when the family needs it; is genuinely and remarkably always on time, and in fact early much of the time.

For us, Anita arrives for us at 7:30 in the morning, makes our three kids breakfast (she loves to cook), gets them packed up and ready for school, helps get them out the door, and then brings 1 or 2 of them to school. During the time that they are at school, she makes beds, organizes the house, gets groceries, runs errands (indeed sometimes suggests errands that need to be run, then does them), and does any pre-work required for dinner prep. She then manages school pick-ups and shuttling our eldest two around Brooklyn for after school activities, play-dates, etc.

Our three kids are now nine, eight, and five – and Anita has been with us for three years, so since they were six, five, and two. Throughout, she has been impeccable in terms of parent-level communications – and also has simply brought a tremendous amount of love to the household. She worked deeply with our children to get to know them, to understand them. When she started, our oldest wasn’t super happy about having a new nanny – as he had spent several years with a prior nanny – and he showed up with some attitude. We were impressed at how Anita was able to work with him to win his trust and forge a strong relationship, despite his initial reticence. Our daughter got really into knitting, as an after school activity over the past year, so Anita decided to take it up with her – and now they knit together at home. And for our youngest, she has effectively raised him from when he was an early toddler – with non-stop love and affection throughout.

Anita, as a third parent, is able to lean into structure and discipline where needed. She ensures our kids show up with good manners and take ownership for different parts of their lives. This includes piano lessons, homework, chores – but also instilling good values, etc. This also very much jives with what we heard from prior families. When we were considering working with her, two of the kids she previously worked with, then in college, wrote us the sweetest letters about the many ways in which Anita shaped them as people.

We’re super super sad to be losing Anita, but we needed to shift to a part-time arrangement, which didn’t work for her, so we are now really motivated to help her find an amazing new family. She truly is a gem and will be an incredible fit for some lucky home. Anita lives in NYC, so this would be for a live-out position. We would be more than happy to jump on a phone call and share more details or answer questions!!

It is with a heavy heart but the deepest gratitude that we recommend Camille, our nanny of seven years. Camille joined us when our daughter was just 4 months old and has been the bedrock of our family through the birth of our son (now 4) and some of the most defining moments of our lives. We are only parting ways because I am taking a career break to focus on family—a transition made possible by the incredible foundation Camille helped us build.

Camille is a career professional with 20+ years of experience across NYC and Westchester. As a new mother, I relied on Camille for guidance. She shepherded me through my first years as a mother. Camille taught me every newborn trick, from managing bottles and feedings to preparing fresh baby food for the introduction of solids. She helped us to establish routines for our children as infants, with bathtime, reading, and their evening bottle, which we still in a way carry on today. Camille has helped us manage through every stage, from tracking feedings on apps and navigating sleep regressions to now helping with homework and school pickups. She is an expert at navigating the city safely and is a pro at finding engaging, fun, and developmental activities at every corner of the city (and now in Westchester). She knows every library class, every playground sprinkler, and the Central Park Zoo and Museum of Natural History like the back of her hand. Each morning she would pack a “master diaper bag” and head out with an exciting adventure planned. There is nobody I trust more on the subway with a child than Camille. I still remember when we interviewed Camille and she said “When a child is engaged in an activity, I never rush them.”. This has stuck with me…although I cannot say I always share her same level of patience!

What truly sets Camille apart is her unwavering devotion. She is the “calm in the storm.” We’ve been through a lot the last few eyars When my son faced a life-threatening, near-death medical emergency, Camille was the first to notice and called the ambulance. She stayed with our daughter and managed our home for multiple days and nights while we were at the hospital, no questions asked. Camille saw me through a breast cancer diagnosis and recovery, cared for our dog during his own cancer treatments, and even assists with my 95-year-old grandmother—dancing and singing to keep her spirits high. During COVID, Camille lived with us in our apartment. We had dinner together each night, watched movies, and really did get to know each other well during a strange and uncertain time. When we moved to Westchester, Camille chose to stay with us, even taking the initiative to secure her driver’s license to better support our family’s new driving needs.

Camille treats our home as if it were her own. She is proactive, fast to respond, and sends really and truly very “professional” photos and videos throughout the day. Hers are always better than mine! With schedules changed and the kids now in school, Camille handles food shopping, meal planning, house management, and laundry. She keeps the children’s bedrooms and toy areas meticulously organized. I have to say that Camille is never rushed or stressed. Whether a baby isn’t napping or plans change last minute, she goes with the flow and adapts with grace. She has received unsolicited praise from teachers and neighbors for years. One of Camille’s strongest attributes is her ability to create a network and foster a warm home. In both the city and in Westchester, Camille has built a network. She has helped my children develop great friends and has established our home as a place where people gather.

We often say we won the lottery when Camille entered our lives. She is a nurturing, honest, and street-smart woman with superior values. She didn’t just watch our children; she helped raise them into confident, kind people.

We trust Camille with everything we have. We are more than happy to speak with any family interested in welcoming this extraordinary woman into their lives.

Camille is targeting to start with a new family in mid-August but is flexible to start earlier if it is the right fit.

Experienced and amazing nanny available in May

Our amazing nanny, Danielle, is looking for a new family!

Danielle took care of our older son two years ago, and then (thankfully!) agreed to work with us again this year for a four-month stint before our baby starts daycare in mid-May.

Danielle immediately bonded with both of our kids, and helped us navigate various transitions during their infancy — eating solids, drinking from a cup, transitioning nap schedules, you name it. She’s warm and caring, while at the same time fiercely protective, which has always made me feel at ease when I’m gone for the day. Danielle also believes in talking to kids clearly and directly, which has helped our sons develop their language skills.

It has always been clear that Danielle views her role, in part, as being our sons’ biggest advocate. For both of them, that’s meant helping them build confidence at the play gym or park — 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 her.

I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I am pleased to recommend Nina, who has been an exceptional caregiver to our son, Auggie, who is currently 9 months old. What truly sets her apart is the warmth and genuine affection she brings to her work—she has a natural ability to make him feel safe, seen, and deeply cared for.

She is constantly engaging with Auggie in a thoughtful and developmentally supportive way. Whether she’s narrating daily activities, singing songs, reading, or encouraging curiosity through play, she creates an environment that is both nurturing and stimulating. Her instinct is always to connect—she talks to him, not at him, and is highly attuned to his reactions, moods, and needs.

Importantly, she is fully present. She is not distracted by her phone or anything else; her attention is consistently on Auggie, which is something we have deeply valued and trusted. She approaches caregiving with intention, focusing not just on keeping him safe and happy, but on supporting his emotional and developmental growth.

Above all, she is incredibly loving. Her care goes beyond routine responsibilities—she has formed a real bond with Auggie, and it shows in how comfortable and happy he is in her presence.

I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nanny who combines professionalism with genuine heart.

Trudy is incredibly patient, kind and engaging. She brings a calm energy to the home and the children. Trudy started caring for our youngest child when he was an infant and has been with us for 5 years. She made the transition from 2 to 3 kids manageable. Not only did she give our newborn her focused one on one attention, but she helped keep the house tidy and organized. She has bonded with our youngest over the past 5 years – they have an amazing relationship and she truly gives him her undivided love, affection and attention. She is wonderful and patient with babies and young children. She has made our children feel loved and our homelife feel structed and dependable.

Rosa is loving, generous, hard working, and passionate about her job – she brings her best self
to work each day, and it shows.
Another one of Rosa’s strengths is her warm and caring personality. Our daughter would immediately light up in the morning when she was greeted by Rosa and was always at peace when we left or returned home due to Rosa’s kind nature. Throughout the day, Rosa would send check-in texts and pictures letting us know about our daughter’s daily experiences. She always used a calm and respectful tone with our daughter that allowed her to have fun and explore while being safe. In addition, Rosa befriended other nannies in our community and joined a nanny group which provided our daughter with regular socialization opportunities with children her age. We were so grateful for her community involvement and desire to help our daughter build her social skills.
There are many more strengths and examples of Rosa’s character we could testify to.It was our privilege to have her care for our daughter and we believe that Rosa’s services will be a valuable asset to any family or community that she joins.

Hello, I am writing to recommend our wonderful, nanny who we are unfortunately outgrowing. Sandra is a professional and career nanny who has been with us since our youngest was 2 months old. She has worked for several families before us and was well loved in her prior positions. She is great with babies but also really great with our little boy 6 years old. She is never late. She sings and reads to our children and has ensured our baby was meeting all his milestones. She is very observant and considerate and will let us know if she notices any rashes/bump and looks at the UV index before she takes the kids outside. Most importantly she is someone we trust. I have never had to use a nanny cam because I never doubted that she loved and cared for our kids.
She does not currently drive but has walked our kids without issue.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any further questions, or contact her directly at (347) 401-2093.
