Parent Reference

Kathleen worked with us for 15 years, starting when our twin boys were 10 days old. Kathleen is a warm, caring, and patient person who has a positive outlook on life. She is extremely reliable. When our twins were born my husband and I both worked full-time, and our goal was to find a loving and capable person to care for our newborns during the day, who had a flexible schedule so could stay late when needed, and simply, whom we liked. We wanted a caregiver who was experienced yet flexible enough to “do it our way”. We struck gold with Kathleen. She was wonderful with our children, and they still adore her. Kathleen was terrific about getting the boys out and about – to the playgrounds, to the park, to weekly trips to the Natural History Museum as well as to more structured classes like music, sports, and eventually preschool. Her focus was on the kids – not her cell phone or the TV, and our boys were happy and thrived under her care. It was a comfort to my husband and me to know that our children were spending their days with someone who was keeping them safe and active, and bringing them joy. I’m a natural worrier and I feel very fortunate to have found a caregiver that I trust completely - I never worried about the boys while working, which allowed me to focus and excel. We moved from Manhattan to Westchester at the start of elementary school, and Kathleen made the transition seamlessly (even with a longer commute). She befriended the other caregivers, moms, and dads, so the boys had plenty of after-school playdates. She made sure the boys did their homework, read books, and took baths. As the boys grew up and became more independent, we shifted Kathleen’s responsibilities to include more cooking, housework, dog care and housesitting, which worked out very well. Our boys are now in high school and I have stopped working, so we’re helping her find a position with another loving family. I wish I had kept track of the number of people who have stopped me to say how wonderful Kathleen is. She’s a special person for sure, and I highly recommend her as a trusted, caring, reliable caregiver.

If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your children as if they were her own, look no further. My nanny, Dianne, was a part of our family for 16 years (from when I was 6 weeks old to 16 years old), and not just helping to raise me, but truly shaping who I am today. She has been a constant source of love, comfort, structure, and joy from my earliest memories through adulthood. She lived with us full-time and did everything—from preparing meals and organizing schedules, to school drop-offs, bedtime routines, and everything in between. But more than that, she was a calming, steady presence. She taught values, and celebrated every milestone with unmatched devotion and heart. Her instincts with children are extraordinary. She’s kind, nurturing, always calm, and endlessly patient. She made our home a safe, happy, and loving place. It’s impossible to put into words just how much she means to us, but I can say without hesitation that she is the best decision our family ever made. If you’re looking for someone who will become a true member of your family this is the woman you want in your home. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her for so long—and we hope another lucky family gets the same gift we had. Please reach out with any questions—I would be honored to tell you more about her.

It is with the deepest gratitude and utmost enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for Monica, who has been an extraordinary caregiver to our two children over the past two years. She came to us with over 25 years of experience, a background in child education, and extremely solid references. Monica joined our family when our eldest was just two years old and our youngest was a newborn. From day one, she brought warmth, capability, and an intuitive sense of what our children needed—not only in terms of care but in nurturing their growth and happiness. Over the course of her time with us, Monica has cared for each of our children through different stages of early childhood, and her adaptability, commitment, and skill have been nothing short of remarkable. She is endlessly patient, deeply affectionate, and fully engaged with the children every moment she is with them. Monica has a natural gift for imaginative play, which our children absolutely adore, and a genuine passion for helping them learn about the world around them. Whether through creative crafts (which she somehow turned into a favorite quiet-time activity), thoughtful conversations, or curiosity-led outings, she has played a huge role in our kids’ development—emotionally, socially, and intellectually. One of Monica’s many lasting contributions to our family has been her unwavering support of our goal to raise bilingual children. Although we are a bilingual household, we could not have achieved true bilingualism without her. Monica consistently speaks to the kids in Spanish, reinforces their vocabulary and grammar through play and conversation, and has helped normalize using both languages interchangeably. Thanks to her support, our children are now equally fluent in both English and Spanish—a gift that will stay with them for life. Monica treats our children like her own. She has celebrated their birthdays with them, brought them thoughtful holiday gifts, and has always shown up—not just physically, but emotionally. Her attentiveness to their well-being extends to every aspect of care, from sleep to nutrition, and she worked closely with us to establish lasting routines and habits that have made a meaningful difference in our home. Beyond the daily care, Monica has also had an incredible impact on our family’s broader life. Despite not knowing anyone in our neighborhood when she began, she quickly built a wonderful network of local nannies, arranged playdates, and created a social community that included us as well. She is that rare person who makes everything better—more joyful, more connected, more manageable. She is also incredibly dependable. Always on time (usually early), unfailingly flexible, and constantly going above and beyond—whether staying late, organizing the kids’ toys and clothes, or tidying our home better than we ever could ourselves. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she never stops moving; even during naptime, we often had to insist she take a break. Our youngest is now starting daycare, and though we wish we could keep Monica with us forever, we are eager to help her find a new family who will appreciate her as much as we do. Any household would be incredibly lucky to have her. She is, without question, the most amazing caregiver we’ve ever met. Monica is looking for full-time positions, live-out only. Preferably in Manhattan. Her ideal start date would be July 1. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to speak further about Monica. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Our Nanny is available for a new family! She is a rare person in that she has 20 years of experience and 12 with twins. Twin Nannys can do it all! She was the right amount of firm and loving with my 4 year old twins and gentle and sweet with my infant. She is able to balance all 3 at once SAFELY - which is HUGE. It took me a long time to find someone who could really walk the walk and manage the chaos of a baby and two pre-k boys with confidence. She is a mom to an amazing adult daughter and has worked with children from 8 weeks to 9 years old. My baby is flying through milestones and I attribute that to the works she does with him on walking and language development. He has was an early walker, knows some sign language, is very communicative and LOVES to read! She drives and has a car. She lives in NJ and is open to New Jersey and Manhattan. She handles all baby related home tasks and feeding. Most importantly: I always new my kids were safe when they were with her. I cannot underscore how meaningful that was. Charmaine is a real pro - you will not be sorry you hired her.
