NY Area Nannies

Lisa is smart, savvy, CLEAN, and she has a wonderful way with children of all ages. She also gets along with the whole family from grand parents to kids. She worked for us for 13 years, starting when my first born was an infant, and my children love her like she is their family.

Lisa is exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, demonstrating both smarts and practical savvy in her approach to childcare. She takes pride in maintaining a clean and organized environment, ensuring that the spaces where children play and learn are always tidy and welcoming. Her ability to connect with children of all ages is truly remarkable, as she adapts her care and communication style to meet each child’s unique needs.

Beyond her relationship with the children, Lisa also interacts seamlessly with every member of the family. She fosters positive relationships not just with the kids, but also with grandparents and other relatives, making her an integral part of the household dynamic. Her friendly and respectful demeanor helps cultivate a harmonious atmosphere within the family, further highlighting her exceptional interpersonal skills.

During the children’s infancy, she maintained an organized feeding and nap schedule. During our vetting process, we paid her to come in and work a “try out” day. Within 4 hours on the job, she organized my son’s room, found clothes I didn’t know he had and had him a feeding and nap schedule. I told my husband to cancel the other finalist try out days. She was that good! Some other things I so appreciated about her in the early years were that she regularly read to my children. I think she holds the record of reading my son’s favorite book to him over and over at more than 22 times (that was my “max” for Max the Minnow). Lisa took them for walks in the stroller, and accompanied them to music and tumbling classes. As they progressed in age, she ensured their safe transit to and from school, prepared meals and snacks, and assisted with homework.

She demonstrates exceptional diligence and planning skills, consistently ensuring punctuality for the children’s appointments. Her efficiency is notable—she manages cleaning, dressing, and bathing tasks swiftly and thoroughly.
Her culinary abilities are outstanding; the children highly appreciate her traditional dishes. I think her food helped the develop the diverse food palate they have today. She has proven to be an invaluable sous chef and follows recipes accurately, with the ability to prepare a wide range of meals.

Her guidance helped me develop organizational skills and improved my approach to parenting. I regard her as a childcare colleague who continuously demonstrated best practices rather than simply completing assigned tasks. I confidently recommend her to any family, as she is capable of managing multiple children, including infants. New mothers in particular will benefit from her extensive experience. On her first day, she reorganized my son’s room for greater practicality, identified clothing that had gone unnoticed, and implemented a more effective feeding schedule. With her support, I felt fully assured returning to work, knowing my children were in capable hands.

We are moving from the NY area and cannot bring her with us, but I know I will miss her everyday even though my oldest is now starting high school.

EXCELLENT NANNY FOR MY KIDS VERY KIND AND LOVING AND TRUSTWORTHY WOMEN I RELLY REFFER HER 100%WITH 35 YEARS EXPERIENCIA IN CHILDCARE AND HOUSEKEEPING

We’ve known Lupe for nearly 15 years—since our eldest was a baby. It’s impossible to describe how great she is and how much better she’s made our lives. Our parent friends point out that we’re lucky to have her. We know.

Lupe is:
-Loving. Refers to our kids as “my babies.”
-Motivated to get the kids out of the house. Takes the kids on trips to the library, museum, playground and for walks around the neighborhood.
-Fun. She draws, plays hide-and-seek, creates with playdough.
-So hard working. She often cleans while my youngest naps. We rarely even see her sit down and she’s never on her phone.
-Thoughtful and easy going.
-Great with kids of all ages. We have 3 kids and she’s one of the only people who can handle them all at once. (And will even welcome an additional child if someone wants to bring a friend on an adventure.)
-Punctual, reliable. Never late.
-Bilingual.
-A great mom herself. She has two lovely, nearly grown daughters.

Lupe takes her job really seriously and we hope to connect her with another family who will value her the way we do.

Due to a change in our schedule, we are looking for a new placement for our nanny, Melissa. Melissa shows up for our daughter with warmth, reliability, and humor. Our daughter lights up when Melissa is around, and spends most of the day laughing. We are very sad to have to part ways with her, but our loss could be your gain.

Melissa is diligent about keeping feeding and nap schedules, arranges playdates and outings, does art projects, and takes our preschool aged daughter to her extracurriculars.

Melissa has 18 years of experience as a nanny and it shows. When my daughter is with Melissa I know that she is safe, happy, and cared for. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I am so happy to recommend Sharon Collins as a nanny. Sharon is one of the kindest, most patient, and loving people I have ever met. Sharon cared for our son from when he was 6 months old until he was two years old. During this time, Sharon was such an amazing resource for us as new parents. She has many years of experience with babies and young children, including infants. Our son was a preemie, so we were particularly selective in choosing our caregiver – and Sharon exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Sharon truly views childcare as a vocation, and it shows. She is reliable, trustworthy, and so very knowledgeable about babies. She makes friends wherever she goes, and was always able to find new activities and arrange play dates for our son.

Sharon is looking to bring her expertise to a new family. She would prefer to work in Brooklyn, but would be open to working in Manhattan for the right family.

My Incredible Nanny Is Available For Work As Soon As Possible. Sunita comes highly recommended, she has over twenty-five years of experience, she’s very honest and reliable, she is able to travel both domestically and internationally, if you’re looking for an exceptional addition to your family, Sunita will be a great fit, as she’s super helpful and is an Awesome Nanny.

Antoinette was our baby nurse / newborn care specialist for 14 weeks after our son (third child) was born. She was excellent and made my postpartum period so much easier. She cares for all things baby related – circumcision care, supported my breast feeding, bottle and breast pump washing, got our baby sleep trained very quickly (sleeping through the night by about 10 weeks), maintained baby’s hygiene, fixing his cradle cap, etc. Did his laundry, kept his things organized, alerting us when we needed to order something, pulled out age appropriate toys, did tummy time, helped him learn to roll over, etc.

In addition she was great with my 2 year old and 4 year old, letting them feel involved in the process of caring for the baby. She truly felt like family by the end of the 14 weeks. She came referred to us by another family friend, she has about 6+ years of experience in this role and many great references. I am happy to be a reference or speak to anyone considering hiring her.

We would like to recommend our former nanny Tracy who has been a loving and protective caregiver to our daughter.
Tracy is very experienced with children of various ages and is very “city smart” being around a city with a child.
She was also receptive to our feedback and we had an open line of communication between her and parents.
Tracy just finished with another family and it is looking for her next role.

Evis is a proactive person who is very thoughful with the children. She loves to cook and cooks very well. She worked in our household for a year and 10 months since my second baby was born. She is joyful and the children enjoy her company.

I would like to recommend our former full time nanny, current babysitter and friend of the family Charmaine Jules. She was an invaluable part of our family from my twin son’s early months until they were in 4th grade. She was full time with us until we switched to a part time / after school person. She worked 8am – 6pm and could come in early or stay late if needed for us. She sometimes worked the weekend as well. She was with us from infant years (twins!) through elementary school. My boys are now 13 and she still comes for a night if we are out late or need to be away for a weekend. We trust her implicitly and the boys love to see her.
She knows NYC well and handled all kid classes, doctors appts, playground visits, play dates, library etc. She was a very interactive caregiver. She cooked for them daily, from puréed infant food to full meals as they grew. She handled all of their laundry and even ironed their school uniforms!
She is deferential, but spoke up when she thought something was wrong or needed to be changed. She is a Mom of one herself to a 24 year old, so I appreciated her feedback and we agreed on many things. She handled naps, sleep training, potty training….and little kid homework. She is caring, trustworthy and still a part of our lives. She really cares for your own children like they are her own. She is warm and funny, but sets down rules for the kids. She is not a pushover. Please call or email for a reference.

I am happy to recommend Ruth highly for a nanny position with any family looking for a true partner and guiding light in raising their children. Ruth joined our family when my son was 8 months old, in March 2016 and once my daughter was born in 2017, Ruth cared for both my children. As first-time parents, we looked up to Ruth for advice and wisdom and she really delivered. Day to day she was a warm and knowledgeable caretaker to our children, a great teacher and an astute observer. Indeed, a trusted partner to us!
Ruth has over a decade and a half of experience caring for babies and toddlers, and is certified in First Aid, CPR, and as a baby nurse. She is also an early childhood educator. She is very dependable and professional, with a calm and loving demeanor. She is a good communicator and keeps parents informed of their child’s daily activities through text, photos and videos. Ruth works well with parents and can take the lead when necessary. She is skilled in arts and crafts, coloring, reading, singing and other age-appropriate activities. She likes to plan playdates at playgrounds, libraries, museums and other areas of interest to promote child-friendly development. She is proactive and can suggest activities but is also happy to follow the parents’ lead.
For the past few years, she has cared for one of our good friends’ daughters until she went to school and then for a baby starting when he was 3 months old. Ruth is now looking for her next family. She still stays with my kids occasionally and we have been having play dates together. She’s absolutely great and I love to see in person how invested she is in the kids she cares for. Ruth has a large network of nanny friends and even parents, that she organizes play dates with, so our kids have made stable friendships. Many parents have commented to me about how great Ruth is. It has indeed been an amazing comfort to have Ruth as part of the family, especially as a first time mom – her experience and advice were invaluable and I felt at ease knowing that she was in charge of my children and that I could fully trust her.
Ruth is seeking a full-time position based on a 40-50-hour work week, Monday through Friday.

I am the mother of Alex and Oliver, and I am writing to highly recommend Araceli Callejas as a nanny and caregiver.

Araceli cared for my son Alex from the time he was 13 months old until he was almost five years old, and she cared for my younger son, Oliver, from two months old until he was three years old. During these important early years, she became an essential part of our family.

Araceli is extremely responsible, trustworthy, and loving. The safety of my children was always her top priority. She maintained consistent routines for feeding and nap times, ensured proper hygiene, and was very attentive to their needs at every stage of development. She is patient, calm, organized, and truly dedicated to the well-being of children.

Her English is basic, but she communicates clearly and always ensures that instructions and routines are well understood. She has completed a CPR course for all ages, the Childcare Certification Training at LaGuardia Community College, and has received all the vaccinations required to care for newborns (Tdap, Flu, COVID-19).

My sons were always happy, safe, and very well cared for in her presence. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were with her.

Unfortunately, our family is moving to California, which is the only reason we are no longer working together. If we were staying, we would absolutely continue working with her without hesitation.

Araceli is currently seeking a position with a family who has a newborn up to one year old, an age group in which she has extensive experience and great sensitivity.

I wholeheartedly recommend Araceli to any family looking for a dedicated, loving, and professional nanny. Any family would be fortunate to have her!

Sincerely,
Laura Maria

RECOMMENDATION:

Kristie has been an integral part of our family for over four years. During that time, she has proven to be a reliable, warm, and trusted caregiver for our two children.

Kristie joined our family when our daughter was almost one year old. Kristie provided full service care from day one — changing diapers, naps, food prep and feeding, attending various baby classes and scheduling play dates. Kristie was instrumental in helping our daughter develop into the fun, creative, and thoughtful five year old she is today. Kristie’s calm demeanor has also been an important, positive, and stable influence on our son, whom she has cared for together with our daughter everyday.

Both of our children are currently in school until 2:30pm. Kristie prepares snacks for them and organizes their afterschool needs (sports equipment, mostly) before school pickup. From there, Kristie shuttles them to their after school activities before heading home for homework, bath and cool down play before dinner. During summer vacation or days when there is no school, Kristie often takes our children on excursions to Coney Island, the Brooklyn Acquarium, and both the Central Park and Prospect Park Zoos, traveling safely together on the bus or subway each way. Kristie also does the children’s laundry each week.
Our children developed a special bond with Kristie over the years and we are sad to part ways with her. We know, however, that our loss will be another family’s gain.

We were very fortunate to have Kristie as part of our lives and confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated and trustworthy caregiver.

Exceptional Babisitter Available – Highly Recommended

Faye came into our lives when our daughter was just 3 months old, and she has been an incredible blessing to our family ever since. She has been with us for three years and has provided outstanding care for both our daughter and our now 6-month-old son.

Faye is dependable, patient, trustworthy, punctual, and genuinely loving. She keeps our daughter happily engaged with enriching, creative activities — always prioritizing interactive play and learning with zero screen time. She is highly communicative and consistently ensures that we feel informed, supported, and confident in our children’s care.

We are deeply grateful for the nurturing environment she created in our home. Sadly, due to our family’s relocation to California, we no longer require her services.
Faye is currently seeking babysitting opportunities for weekends and date nights.

If you are seeking exceptional, attentive, and loving childcare, we wholeheartedly recommend Faye. She would be a true asset to any family.

Please feel free to reach out for more information or a personal reference.

Lisa is an exceptional Nanny. She is patient, kind, punctual and very knowledgeable. Lisa started with us when our first son was 6 months. She was the first Nanny we interviewed and we were very impressed with her. Atom loved her. She made our lives very easy. She had a group of Nanny friends that she would meet up with and they plan playdates trips to the city, aquarium etc. With her everything was a smooth transition from breast feeding to formula to introducing solids. I would highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for someone to make your life less complicated. Feel free to reach out to me for any further information you need to know about Lisa.

Kartok has been with our family since 2023 – we were desperate for her to move with us to Westchester but unfortunately it does not work for her family situation. Hoping to find her another lucky family to work with!

We have two girls, a 4 year old and a newborn. Kartok regularly goes above and beyond in all aspects of her job. She is caring and loving (to both the kids and to me and my husband!), she is professional and proactive, and is a trusted and valued parenting partner for me and my husband.

Kartok never stops moving – she is always thinking of activities for our daughter and helping around the home. Our daughter also has some severe allergies and Kartok takes them as seriously as we do. I trust her implicitly with my children, and they love her and are very verbal about telling her so!

I could recommend Kartok more highly. Please reach out for more details or a formal recommendation letter!

Our beloved nanny of 11 years is seeking her next family!
Rhonda has been an absolute gift to our family and to many families in our neighborhood. With over 25 years of childcare experience, she is a highly skilled and deeply compassionate nanny, Newborn Care Specialist, and Certified Nursing Assistant. She is also First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, giving any parent complete peace of mind.
Rhonda helped raise our two children, and we truly owe her more than words can express. She is kind-hearted, reliable, flexible, loyal, generous, trustworthy, responsible, patient, calm, and incredibly loving. She consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty, and I always felt completely confident knowing my children were in her safe, capable, and nurturing hands.
Rhonda has a naturally positive attitude and warm personality, which allows her to build strong relationships with children, parents, and other caregivers alike. She is well-loved by kids and adults of all ages and is respected throughout our community.
She is ideally seeking a full-time, or part-time long-term position, preferably with newborns or babies, where she can grow alongside a family and become an integral part of their lives. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
If you are interested in speaking with Rhonda directly, she can be reached by call or text at (917) 200-7789. I would also be more than happy to speak with anyone personally as a reference.
Thank you!

Rose was like an angel to our family. She cared for our three children from babyhood to teenage years. She is a lovely person, and an enormously dedicated and hard-working employee. She is incredibly reliable and efficient, and very, very kind.

Her gentle yet quietly firm manner yielded what sometimes seemed like miracles to us. During the baby and toddler years, she was able to get our kids to eat, nap, wear mittens and heavy coats and keep to a schedule, when our efforts to do the same were often met with tantrums and tears. She efficiently organized playdates, read stories to them, and spent hours with them in the park. As they got older she continued to be a steady presence in their lives, picking them up from activities and keeping them on a homework schedule. Thanks to Rose, we would come home from a long day of work to a clean, orderly apartment with children happy, bathed and fed.

Whoever hires Rose will be incredibly lucky. I would be happy to answer any questions about her.

I highly recommend my former nanny Lois as a caregiver. Lois took care of my daughter from when she was 3 months old until she started kindergarten. Lois is unique because she was wonderful with my daughter at all those ages – as an infant who mostly needed lots of affection and a schedule followed, through the toddler and preschool days where they are constantly exploring and on the go, and through school age when they develop new interests. She truly loves taking care of kids and this comes out in every interaction. She was also an excellent partner in childcare tasks, keep toys and clothes organized, preparing healthy and delicious food, and helping me find new classes and activities for my child. My daughter still loves Lois – she babysits or comes over for dinner every couple of months and my daughter is always thrilled to see her. She’s a true gem!

I had a truly wonderful experience with Cheryl, who was an invaluable part of our family for five years. From the beginning, it was clear that caring for children wasn’t just a job for her it’s something she genuinely loves. She took the kids to the library and jamboree, always finding thoughtful activities that supported their growth, curiosity, and joy.

She prepares meals the children genuinely love, and her Jamaican food tastes better than I’ve had at restaurants. She is incredibly dependable, always punctual, reliable, and proactive, and she naturally helps with light housekeeping without being asked. She has experience with all aspects of newborn care and sleep trained my twins, getting them on a schedule.

Most importantly, she is caring, trustworthy, and attentive, creating a safe and loving environment where my children felt secure. The kids absolutely adore her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone who doesn’t just care for your children, but truly loves them.
