Julie has worked with our family for over 3 years. She started working with us when our younger son was only 2 months old, and we are only now parting ways as our son is moving into full day school and we can no longer offer full time work. Julie recently moved to New Jersey to be closer to her kids and while she commutes to us in Boerum Hill every day, she would love to have a shorter commute and would prefer to work in Brooklyn Heights, Manhattan and New Jersey.
Julie has been a calm and consistent presence in our home. She has a wonderful bond with my boys, and we have felt so lucky to have her as part of our child raising team. It has been such a weight off of us knowing that our kids are happy, safe and well cared for when they’re with her. She has been a life saver for us time and again from working over-time when we need evening care and staying overnight when my partner and I both had to be out of town, to helping us take care of kids home sick from school so my partner and I didn’t have to miss work.
Since she has been caring for our younger son from 2 months to 3.5 years, she has been crucial in helping with all of his developmental milestones, from feeding him, helping with gross motor development, potty training, and lots more. We regularly have people complimenting my son’s good manners and it’s all thanks to Julie. She encourages polite manners and has patiently and compassionately taught our younger son so many great behaviours. Everytime they come home he takes off his shoes and coat, puts them away, and washes his hands calmly and independently thanks to Julie’s encouragement and consistency. My son also has severe eczema which meant we were very strict with how we introduced foods early on as we monitored for allergies, and she followed our lead and supported us well in that process.
Julie has been working in Brooklyn for over 20 years and has built a wonderful community. A few weeks into working with us she realized a friend of hers worked with the family across the street and now the kids are best friends. She is always out of the house with my son either on play dates with the many friends she has found for him or is taking him to various playgrounds, museums, the zoo, the aquarium, our local fire station (he’s on a first name basis with all of the fire fighters), and more. I never have to come up with activities for them as she’s already planned a fun day for my son before she even arrives. Though of course whenever I set something up, I can trust they will be there ready to go on time if not 15 minutes early.
She provided full time child care for our younger son, occasional care for both kids when our older son was out of school. Julie handled school and camp pick up, took the kids to after school activities, handled lunch prep, kids laundry, general cleaning, occasional errands, and set up play dates. While she will assemble a lunch or dinner, she does not cook extensively. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Please feel free to reach out to myself or her directly if you are interested or know anyone who is.
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
It is with great pleasure and heartfelt gratitude that I recommend Michelle for a nanny position. Michelle cared for my daughter in the Upper West Side from the time she was one until she turned four, and she was an indispensable part of our lives during those formative years.
As a busy working mother, I relied heavily on Michelle’s expertise, reliability, and unwavering dedication. She is an exceptionally professional and caring individual who approaches childcare with both warmth and a deep sense of responsibility. Beyond her professional capabilities, Michelle quickly became a trusted member of our family and a dear friend. Her genuine love for my daughter and her ability to nurture her development made our daily lives run smoothly and gave me complete peace of mind while I was at work.
We were so sad to lose her when we relocated that we tried to convince her to move with us, but her strong family commitments kept her in New York City. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her in their home.
Fannie started working with my twin sons when they were 3 months old until they were 3 years old. They only reason she stopped working with us was because they went to school and we didn’t need a full-time nanny. Since then she has regularly babysat my boys, kept them for sleepovers at her house over long weekends when I was out of town, and we continue to stay in touch. We have even attended each other’s children’s graduations and her husband (who is a teacher) worked for us during COVID, making sure that my kids were on their remote school class and doing their homework.
Fannie loves her job and puts 100% into it. She is very active with the children, likes to take them on outings, teaches them letters and numbers, will teach them Spanish if the parents want it, teaches them how to feed themselves, and she does potty-training. She has a calm, gentle demeanor and has a lot of experience. She follows directions well (if the parents have specific requests, like to keep a journal of when the child eats) and she also adds her own expertise, when it’s helpful. For example, there were a few times when she pointed out some symptoms to me that my boys were having and I realized that they were sick.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Fannie to any family. They would be lucky to have her!
Fantastic newborn/ baby nanny available! Kerri joined us when our 4th was just 2 weeks old. I needed someone confident with a newborn as I managed my other kids’ schedules. Our littlest was not the easiest in the beginning. She constantly wanted to be rocked and held. Kerri did this without complaint.
I am breastfeeding and our baby decided very early on that bottles were out so we’ve managed a schedule of making sure I’m always back within that 1.5 to 2-hour window and Kerri has done wonderfully at biding time for me when I needed that extra 15 minutes. She has a bubbly personality and really has a great touch with babies. Not everyone does well with newborns but Kerri was undeterred and unphased (even through the colicky phase). We just got notified that my 4-year-old got into her preschool program and we will need much less hours this school year. Kerri is looking for a position Monday-Thursday and she’s happy to fill whatever hours in those days.
Happy to chat more.

We’re grateful to have had Mayte as our nanny for the past two and a half years, and it’s bittersweet to write this now that our needs are changing with our son starting school full time in September. Mayte has cared for him since he was a baby, guiding him from diapers through potty training, and has been consistently warm, patient, and attentive throughout.
She knows the FiDi, Battery Park, and Tribeca area well (though she is open to other locations, including New Jersey), and keeps a solid daily routine of park time, play gym, and taking him to class. She’s also arranged playdates and birthday parties, so our son has stayed socially engaged.
Mayte is reliable and professional: she cooks for our son, handles his laundry and light cleaning, keeps his toys organized, and sends us photo updates throughout the day. She takes pride in raising our son as if he were her own. We’ve always felt confident he was safe and well cared for.
She speaks Spanish and her English has been steadily improving. It’s never been an issue communicating with her, including for my husband, who doesn’t speak Spanish. And as a result of her Spanish, our son has become genuinely bilingual.
Our son looks forward to seeing her every day and will miss her. Any family would be lucky to have Mayte, and I’m happy to be reached directly for more information.
Hi Everyone!
Our wonderful nanny, Nina, is looking for a new family. She has been with us since Max was 6 months, but he is now starting prek3 in the fall and won’t need a caregiver.

We are going to miss her tons!!
She will be available full time starting September 15th.
Feel free to message me for any additional information. You can also message her directly at 347-827-6453
We had the pleasure of having Dian Grace Powell as our 24-hour baby nurse for almost 4 months while caring for our twins, and we could not recommend her more highly. She is professionally trained, extremely energetic, organized, reliable, and trustworthy. She is excellent at scheduling and keeping everything running smoothly, while also being incredibly gentle, caring, and loving with the babies. She is fun and engaging with them, moves quickly and efficiently, and handles everything with confidence and calm. Caring for twins is no easy task, but she managed both babies exceptionally well and was truly wonderful to have in our home. We are so grateful for all her help and care, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated, capable, and loving baby nurse.
Adama is a mature, thoughtful, deeply caring nanny with over 29 years’ experience taking care of newborns, toddlers, and school-aged children. She was our nanny for many years and our children just adored her. She is highly responsible, always shows up on time, and is willing to be helpful in all the ways that busy parents need and appreciate. She is hard working, affectionate, and trustworthy. Our children are now fully grown and they still reach out to Adama as a family member whom they love. We cannot recommend her more highly!

Posting about our amazing nanny, Jennar, who is looking to work with a new family closer to Morris & Essex area. She stepped in adeptly when our previous nanny had to leave abruptly to take care of family and nothing missed a bit. She’s amazing at being silly with my preschooler while also comforting our toddler – great cook, always on time, the consummate professional. We’d 100% keep her if her commute to Hoboken weren’t so long for her. She’s truly wonderful – I truly hope she lands with a caring family. You’d be so lucky! I’d be happy to answer any questions directly.

Caro is a good nanny. She is considered part of our family. She is a loving, responsible, and proactive person who can meet the children’s needs by caring for them at home. She is studying English and has taught my son many Spanish words. She oversees his meals and helps with homework and activities. She is very patient, cheerful, and communicates well with parents and children. She shows empathy toward the children and the family. She also establishes a safe and supportive environment for their development. She builds strong bonds with the children. She will always be welcome in our family.
She is very responsible and cares for them inside and outside the home, supervises activities, and plays with them.
We always prepare meals, and she is in charge of feeding them. We take walks in the park and helps with hygiene and sleep, and meets the children’s social and emotional needs. She often helped us take the children to and from school and after-school activities, and kept the playgrounds tidy. She always informs you about the children’s routines and behavior. We were always completely safe when they were in her care. She has a wealth of experience, plus she’s a mother, and her son is the most well-behaved child I’ve ever met.
Since we’re moving to a new city, we won’t be able to stay with her anymore, but we hope she finds a loving and caring family that will make her feel at home.
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.
We no longer need full time help, so unfortunately are parting ways with our wonderful nanny, Hermi. She has worked with us for 3 months, but has quickly made an impression and easily got a handle on our 9 month old\’s routine and needs. She is so sweet and loving with our baby, she sings and dances, is energetic, engaging, cautious, and protective while out and about – you will never have to worry about your baby\’s safety while in her care. Our baby absolutely lights up when she arrives for the day and tries to follow her out the door when she leaves. I always hear them laughing and playing in the other room and it\’s been so sweet to see their bond grow, even in this short amount of time that she has worked with us. Hermi is great with babies, caring, and eager to please, and she always leaves our home neater than when she found it. She has handled everything from taking our daughter to classes and playdates, coaching me through starting solids, shopping for and making our daughter\’s food, doing our daughter\’s laundry, and alerting me to things that need attention. I would love to find her a great family to work with. She is based in Jersey City but commutes to us in Manhattan, so she is open to a variety of locations. Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or feel free to get in touch with her directly.
Monica has been our family nanny for over 12 years. She is a loving and caring person who i absolutely trust my children with. She always take the children out and finds activities for them and they absolutely love here. I can happily recommend her to someone looking for a caregiver for their children.
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.

Wonderful Full-Time Nanny Available
Our former nanny, Latoya, is looking for a new full-time family, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Latoya was with our family for six years, starting when our oldest daughter was 2 and our second daughter was about to be born. She ultimately cared for all three of our children, including our youngest son from infancy.
Latoya is smart, kind, loving, hardworking, incredibly even-keeled, and simply an upstanding human being. She loved and cared for our children as if they were her own, and we always had 100% confidence that they were safe and well cared for with her.
She is wonderful with infants and older children alike and is very capable managing a busy household and multiple children. She cooked for the kids (and often for us!), handled their laundry, managed multiple school/activity pick-ups and drop-offs, and is extremely comfortable navigating all forms of transportation around NYC.
The only reason we parted ways is that our family’s needs shifted to part-time, while Latoya is looking for a full-time position. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our family and would be thrilled to see her find another wonderful family.
If interested, please contact Latoya directly. I am also very happy to provide a personal reference.
