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.

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!!
We absolutely adore Waizero! She has been such a positive, loving, and dependable presence in our child’s life. From day one, she connected so naturally with our child through creativity, patience, and genuine care. She always comes prepared with fun activities, educational games, crafts, and little adventures that keep him engaged and excited.
One thing that really stood out to us is how attentive and emotionally aware she is. She doesn’t just “watch” our child, she truly interacts with him, encourages him, and creates a safe environment where he feels comfortable expressing himself. Our kid is always excited when she arrives and constantly asks when he’ll see her again.
Any family would be lucky to have her. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, energetic, and creative nanny who genuinely loves what she does.
I cannot recommend Andrea (aka Jackie) highly enough! Words truly fall short, but I will try.
Jackie is, quite simply, the embodiment of the phrase “above and beyond.” From day 1, her presence will bring a level of peace, competence, and grounded confidence into your home that you likely didn’t even realize was missing.
Jackie is a quintessential NYC Nanny, and as such, she is currently seeking a quintessential NYC Nanny position: Long term and full-time, ideally with an infant or toddler. She is open to All of New York City and Northern NJ as well. (Hoboken/Weehawken, Edgewater, Bergen County, etc)
Where should I even begin? She is college-educated with over 20 years of childcare experience, and fluent/bilingual in English and Spanish, which in itself is an incredible gift for your children.
Her approach to childcare is exceptional and deeply rooted in modern, respectful, gentle philosophies. When I first met her, she said with total confidence: “RIE and Montessori, that is simply WHAT I DO!!!” Man oh man she absolutely meant it! She embodies these methods in a way that is both knowledgeable and deeply human/relatable. She understands infant and toddler development intuitively and responds to children with patience, respect, and remarkable skill, especially in tricky toddler moments.
I am a mom of 2 under 2, and during my postpartum period, Jackie quite literally helped bring my entire household back to life. She didn’t just “help.” She jumped right in, restored order, calmness, and warmth to what was an overwhelming season of pure chaos before she stepped in. She instinctively knows how to support every single member of the family, maintains discretion, yet proactively meets every need without being asked. When Jackie rings the bell, it genuinely feels like a weight lifts off your shoulders instantly.
Beyond childcare, which is her specialty, Jackie’s cooking and household skills are also are pristine. Her food is not just nourishing, it is genuinely made with appreciation of culture, love, and care.
Jackie always took the initiative to plan thoughtful neighborhood outings, engaging activities, and enriching experiences for the children, both indoors and outdoors. She moves through the city with the confidence of a “city-slicker” and arrives punctually.
Most importantly, Jackie genuinely LOVES what she does, which unfortunately is rare to find in today’s time. Being a Nanny is not just a paycheck to her, it’s her life’s work and she’s proud to put her name on it every single day.
Your children will be loved, understood, active, and fully immersed in Spanish if Jackie is part of your home. I promise you, the entire household will function better, calmer, and happier because of her presence! I know it’s overwhelming to find a Nanny, so do yourself a favor and stop interviewing others. SHE IS THE ONE!
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.
