If you and your family are searching for a kindhearted, compassionate, one of kind, very special nanny who will love your child/children unconditionally, please keep reading. There really aren’t enough adjectives to articulate how wonderful she is and how lucky my husband and I feel to have had her take care of our daughter for the past 5 years. Like so many other families, our needs have simply changed due to the pandemic. Only a move from New York City could have taken her away from our daughter. She started working with us when my daughter was 4 years old. She has become my daughter’s best friend. She has loved my daughter like her own. She’s cared for my daughter from pre-K through third grade and has adapted to the needs of each age. She’s been instrumental in my daughter’s development. She is reliable and flexible. She has never called out sick and was on time every single day. She is incredibly honest, trustworthy and has always had my daughter’s best interests at heart. She will be your child’s advocate and will never take her eyes off your child/children when they are out and about. She doesn’t look at her phone when she’s working and her attention has always been 100% on my daughter. I’ve received so many compliments over the years from friends, teachers, doormen and other moms about how wonderful she is and the positive interactions they witnessed. She is smart and seemed to find no school assignment too challenging to help my daughter understand and complete it. She read to my daughter every day. She has always kept our apartment clean and tidy and my daughter’s room/clothes/laundry were always meticulously organized. She’s patient, fun, creative and proactive. She will be great at taking care of children of all ages. She really loves children.

Parent Reference

Our amazing nanny Genelia was with us for nearly five years until our son started school full-time, and we want to help her find a new family that is looking for a full-time caregiver. Genelia was instrumental in helping in all aspects of our son's development and growth. She handled routine duties such as diapers, teething, solid foods, crawling, walking, potty training, bathing, and storytime, as well as obscure tasks such as getting him to doctor's appointments, administering medications and treatments, arranging playdates, and sleep training. Genelia is very good about taking the initiative, such as running to the grocery store when we are out of something and teaching herself to cook to the point where she can easily whip up fresh, tasty, nutritious meals. She also is very courteous about cooking a little extra to make things easier for my wife and me when we get home from work. In addition, she insists on eating healthy herself, rather than taking an allowance to buy fast food and soda. Genelia also is great about keeping up on routine things, such as making sure our son picks up his toys, doing laundry, getting him to/from school on time, and taking him to parks, libraries, parties, etc. She is flexible with work schedules and would help out when we need her to come early, stay late, babysit, or be home for a delivery. She is young and very fit and has no trouble keeping up. She is also very sweet and outgoing, which helped her befriend other caregivers in the neighborhood, allowing our son to make new friends. And she is proactive about arranging play dates, activities, finding classes that our son enjoyed, and more. We really cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Genelia is both a certified nurse’s aid and a teachers’ aid/assistant. She also has a certificate in Early Childhood Development. She is available immediately. We are happy to provide any additional information or answer any questions for those wishing to know more.

Parent Reference

Anita is everything we hoped for in a nanny for our children. We first met Anita as our friends’ nanny, and when they left the city due to the pandemic, we jumped on the opportunity to hire her. Our children are now 2.5 and 9 months old and they absolutely adore her. With her 20+ years’ experience as a nanny, it is still amazing to me how quickly she developed a strong and personal relation with both of our children. She finds what’s unique in each child and adapts to their interests and character. She is caring with our baby, covers her with love and at the same time encourages her to learn and experience through activities, making her “discover the world” as she puts in her own words. With our toddler, she is outgoing, creative and fun, and invents all sorts of learning games for him. Pre-pandemic, she’d organize all sorts of playdates and activities in the neighborhood, including finding new friends for them. With working from home, we’ve witnessed first hand how our kids both run to her, laugh with her, have fun and learn new things every single day. As a parent, she’s been such an amazing person to have around, extremely easy to communicate with, proactive and professional. Anita has been our kids’ best friends and a trusted partner for us, and we encourage your family to get to know her. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Yangzom was only with us for a few months before the pandemic, but she was a wonderful caregiver for my two boys, 1 & 3 years old. Before that, she worked for her previous family for over four years and helped raise their three boys on the UES. She has three grown children of her own. We were based in Brooklyn, and the only reason we parted ways was because Yangzom was not able to live with us in the Hamptons, where we moved at the start of the pandemic. Yangzom is Tibetan, but speaks English well. She's thoughtful, incredibly honest and trustworthy, and loves children. She not only took excellent care of my boys (and somehow got them to eat vegetables), but she kept our home immaculately clean and tidy! Her ideal position is full-time, live-out, and she's open to weekends, too. She is open to live-in, given the right opportunity. She's already received her Covid vaccine.

Carmen is the best of the best (of the best). She is an unbelievable caregiver to our child - loving, attentive and always teaching. She has more energy than I do and is forever making playdates, taking my son to the park and other fun activities, and always has him engaged in something entertaining or educational. Carmen is an excellent cook and prepares all of my son's meals for him. She also leaves my house cleaner than when she arrived in the morning every single day. She is an absolute God send and it pains me to think of not having her (we've made the decision to move to the burbs so it's no longer feasible). Any family would be lucky to have her and should hire her without looking back.

Our nanny, Jenny Moore, who has been with us for 14 years, is available for a full-time position, starting in April. Jenny has been our wonderful, trusted babysitter for our daughter Lily (now 14) and son Henry (now 8) since Lily was 3 months old. Jenny is amazing with babies—attentive, responsive, intuitive about their needs, extremely knowledgeable about issues of safety, feeding, and sleeping. She is cheerful, kind, and fun, and entirely at ease with babies and children. As our kids grew older, Jenny was like a friend who was always looking out for them. She’s always on time, so very reliable, flexible with hours, very helpful with housework, and good-natured about filling in when we unexpectedly needed it. We hate to see her go, but we are no longer in need of a full-time babysitter, and would love to help her find another family to work with full time.

Hi everyone!! My family and I are making the move from Brooklyn to the NJ burbs in March and we are absolutely heartbroken to be leaving our nanny behind. Unfortunately she will not be able to make the daily commute to our new home. We wanted to take a quick minute to recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing caretaker. Since the first day she was with us she has lovingly cared for our 6 month old, Oliver, tending to his every need and ensuring he remains on track to hit all of his milestones. She is punctual (actually she is always early), dependable, trustworthy and tidy. Most importantly she loves our little man as if he were her own. She currently works full-time, Monday through Friday and is looking for a similar schedule going forward. She takes care of all Oliver's laundry, does all dishes / cleaning as it relates to him and will always help us around the house as well. She has helped to transition Oliver to real food and has also offered to cook for him (we currently just use the organic food packs). We honestly cannot imagine life without her and just hope we can find her another wonderful family with whom she can share her love and joy. Please feel to reach out if you would like to know more.

Parent Reference

Wilma was with our family for almost 14 years, since our daughter (J.) was 4 months old, at which point I returned back to work post maternity leave. She is very responsible, always on time, thoughtful, and diligent. Most importantly, she is a very safe, loving, gentle, supportive, and caring person. This was a crucial quality to me, as I felt her calm, patient demeanor would be beneficial to our daughter, which was true. For me the most important thing as a new mother was that J. was safe and loved, particularly as I was away at work - which is exactly what we got with Wilma. She was with J. through every stage: infant, toddlerhood, preschool, childhood and pre-teen years - and J. loves her very much. She is lightly supporting us now, but understandably wants to have a deeper level of engagement, so I want to help Wilma find another nice, loving family. She is happy to start caring for an infant again, or she is also happy to care for children in older stage ages - she is very flexible . We live on the UWS, but she is totally fine with other places in Manhattan and Brooklyn. She is extremely safe and conscientious about COVID, masking, hand sanitizing/wash etc. She is a kind soul, and she is a very important person to us, so I am taking an active role in helping her find a family. If any of you are in need of a nanny, or know someone who might be, please feel free to contact me at the 646# or you may contact her directly at the 917#. Thank you so much.

It is my great pleasure to recommend Shenneth as a nanny. We have been so fortunate to have her caring for our 18 month old son since he was 6 months old and we sadly have to part ways because we are moving out of state. Shenneth is someone we fully trust in ensuring the wellbeing of our son. She is well-versed in child development due to her past experience as a nanny with young children. We are convinced that we owe much of our son’s positive development to the way in which she interacts with him. Shenneth has also been a perfect personality match for our silly high energy son, always bringing her full energy and playfulness to our home. They have such an incredible bond and we can always hear them laughing together. She is always showing him new things and finding ways to keep him entertained from walks to music class to arranging playdates and more. While Shenneth respects our personal way of parenting and guidance in caring for our son, she is fully capable and confident in making independent day-to-day decisions involving our son which makes our lives a lot easier as both my husband and I are working full time. She also takes care of his laundry, preps and cooks his meals, keeps his room tidy, and cleans his toys regularly. Any family would be so lucky to have Shenneth as their nanny! I cannot recommend her enough. If you would like to hear more about our experiences or have any questions, I will make myself available for a chat.

Parent Reference

Gloria Phillip has been my son’s nanny since infancy (he is now 7), and she is now family to us. Gloria has been everything I could ask for and more. I could write a book about all of her wonderful qualities; here are her key attributes: (1) Reliable. In more than six years, she has been always on-time, usually early, and ensures my son is also on-time for school, playdates, activities, etc. If she is unfamiliar with a new location for his activities, she scopes it out ahead of time for a smooth arrival. (2) Responsible. Gloria has outstanding judgement and common sense. My son’s health, safety and happiness are always priority #1 for her, and I never worry about his well-being. Gloria not only raised two sons, but also played a major role in raising her five grandchildren (boys and girls). As a new mother, I relied on her judgement and experience. (3) Great communicator. She is very upfront talking about my son, what he needs, what she’d notice, and we openly discuss it. Since she spends more daytime hours with him than I do, I depend on her honesty and forthcoming nature. (4) Loving and fun. Gloria always arrives in the morning with a smile and cheerful hello (and sometimes a song!), both for me and for my son. She is excited about everything, whether it is a new playdate, an outing to a museum, or just a visit to a local park. She also gets a thrill out of teaching my son dominoes and card games. Every evening when she left, my son sees her to the elevator and yells “Bye Gloria! I love you!”, and he really means it. Their shared enthusiasm makes every day fun. (5) Active and pro-active. Gloria is not a stay-home type of person. She wants to take the children out to explore, go to playgrounds, to visit new places. She is a great networker with other nannies and parents, and my son always has a full social calendar. Several of his close friendships were formed as a result of Gloria consistently ensuring that my son kept up with his friends, even when the children eventually went to different schools. (6) Understanding and flexible. As a single mother, my relationship with the nanny is especially important. I travel frequently for work (domestically and internationally), and sometimes have last minute schedule changes. Gloria understands and is there for me. Her flexibility and support have made my life a lot easier. (7) Diligent and consistent. Gloria consistently keeps my son on schedule. She makes sure he plays his piano, completes his homework, eats his veggies, and practices his tennis. She takes pride in his progress as if he were her own child. Gloria can work full or part time, can start before 7:30 am. She is able to travel domestically or internationally. She will cook for the kids and will do their laundry. She also will do light cleaning in the home. She is seeking a live-out role. Please note that she is allergic to cats. We have moved to upstate NY, so we are working with Gloria to help her find a new family. We will miss her daily smile and easy laugh, as well as her compassion and wisdom. Any family would be lucky to have Gloria. For further information, you can contact me Sabrina (cell: 917-658-6932 or [email protected]) or contact Gloria (cell: 347-357-2992 or [email protected])

Mary is trustworthy, honest, hardworking, responsible, reliable, and kind-hearted. She has never taken a sick day and is extremely flexible staying late if needed. Mary lives alone and has been able to maintain strict social distancing during COVID (she has been living with us since June to ensure our safety). In addition to helping my children socialize, maintain friendships and grow as humans Mary is a fabulous cook and will make my kids healthy meals from scratch (literally there is not a food on earth my children will not eat). She never puts the TV, nor will she ever give my children a phone or iPad. I would constantly get compliments from neighbors and other friends about Mary and her relationship with my children. Mary has taught my children much more than the fundamentals (letters, colors, how to crawl, walk, use the potty). She has instilled manners, good behavior and a sweetness that I am complimented on constantly. If you are looking for Mary she is sitting on the floor reading books, singing songs or playing whatever silly game they have invented. I could go on and on but I am truly the luckiest Mom to have had Mary as part of our lives

Norma is consistent, dedicated and disciplined in her approach to work. We had the pleasure of meeting her and having her watch our girls every week for several years until we relocated before the pandemic. Sites like this help you find wonderful and rare caregivers! Norma is such an example. The children respect her and I trusted her with investing in their development and social skills with “mama Norma” when we weren’t around. Her work ethic is second to none. After a long week of work I’d often find my household chores and laundry done for me without asking! My husband only eats three women’s cooking— his mother’s, his wife’s, and Norma’s! What I love most about Norma is that she is always energetic, a faith-filled woman, and instilled a healthy discipline and routine for my two girls that has shaped them as independent and confident grade schoolers. She is as helpful to me as she is to the children. I live too far away now for the trip to be worthwhile for Norma— I hope that you can meet her soon (before I change my mind and bring her “home” with us!)

She was also there with us when my second was born helping in any way she could have. She was very flexible, reliable, honest, and always put the safety of our family first. She was always keeping the children busy, whether it was playdates, playground or just taking them on adventures. She has never made me feel that I was over-bearing, and nothing was too much for her to do for me or the entire family. She became one of us because of who she is and how big of a heart she has. She will assist your family in any way possible especially during this pandemic and remote learning. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Our wonderful, loving, conscientious, reliable, and tireless former nanny is seeking a new position. Letesia provided excellent care to our two sons, now age 21 and 17. She was officially employed as a household employee, providing child care and light housekeeping for our family for more than 18 years. With our kids in college and boarding school, we are unable to justify the need for full-time household help. So, it is with great reluctance that we hope another family can be cared for as we were. Letesia was reliable, hard-working, capable, and beyond trustworthy. When the boys were small, she read aloud to them, sang to them, held them, and prepared very healthy snacks. She kept them clean, healthy, and safe. She was incredibly reliable, taking them to afterschool classes, appointments, and playdates. While the boys were in school, Letesia kept our house in impeccable shape, clean, and well-organized. Letesia was here through numerous home improvement projects in the last couple of years, and was able to keep the house organized, clean, and sane.

Yolanda is a loving, smart, hardworking, reliable career nanny who is available due to our move out of NYC. She is trilingual and has the equivalent of a masters degree in childhood development in her home country of Moldova. I have two daughters and Yolanda cared for them through newborn, infant, and toddler stages. She knows how to care children of any age with love, patience, and safety. She also manages to care for more than one child at a time with ease. Yolanda deeply engages with children by getting on their level -- she is not a spectator, but rather an active participant in whatever the child is doing. She loves to play games, do arts & crafts, visit the park, and read to them. Yolanda’s responsibilities also include housework (e.g. laundry, light cleaning) and meal prep when the children are sleeping/out of the house. She is an amazing cook!!!

Parent Reference

Margarete has been providing responsible, loving care for our 4.5 year old son since 2017. She brings over 20 years of experience working full time with us and several families including twins. Her strengths include: - Safety-obsessed: She puts keeping kids safe above all: she's never on her phone and is always super well organized and prepared; thinking ahead of every step. We always marveled that in four years our very active son never got a scratch with her (we can't say the same for ourselves). In addition, she has been meticulous about COVID safety precautions for herself and our son. - Utterly reliable and trustworthy: never a minute late, not once. That goes for arriving to work, to all of his activities and school and doctors appointments, etc. She memorized his schedules and often had to remind me about a school holiday etc. - Initiated and maintained great friendships for our son through play dates and cultivating relationships with other caregivers. We also met some of our best neighborhood friends through these children that she identified as great playmates for him. - Active & healthy: prepares and encourages healthy foods, up for lots of active outdoor time, sports, never balked at long walks to/from school and other activities. Focuses on the importance of a strong sleep schedule and makes sure that high quality naps/consistent bedtimes are a priority. Has become a lego and beyblade master and since day one has always been on the floor playing with our son. Margarete is available for interviews now; I am also happy to speak about our experience with her in more detail.

Gerene is everything we could have hoped for in a nanny, and more. She is incredibly warm and caring and has developed a close and loving relationship with our now 23-month old daughter, who absolutely adores Gerene. Gerene joined us when our daughter was six months old and has become part of our family, providing amazing care and support for our daughter. Gerene is always focused on our daughter, whether they are at home or out for daily walks. She actively engages our daughter in conversation and play that frequently has our daughter giggling and laughing. Gerene has a real focus on supporting childhood development, in close consultation with us; she is always researching new approaches and plays with our daughter in ways deliberately designed to add to her development. Her impact on our daughter’s development had been hugely beneficial. Gerene is diligent and reliable, and we have complete trust and confidence in her. She is very careful with our daughter, and takes great care of her health. She carefully follows measures to protect our household from COVID-19, including ensuring our daughter frequently washes her hands, and wiping and down sanitising anything that enters the apartment. We are soon to be leaving New York permanently and are devastated to be parting ways with Gerene, if we could take her with us we absolutely would. We can not recommend her highly enough.

Maxine is a true gift to our family during the first few years of their lives. Due to Covid, I left my job temporarily so we need to say good bye to her. Maxine was a wonderful nanny who took special care of my 2 children for 5 years. They loved her so much. She is a very hard worker and always made sure that the house was neat and tidy and both children were well fed and taken care of. She set up playdates and got to know other nannies and was always up for taking them to classes and to the park/playgrounds. She was always up for small projects to help keep my home more organized. More importantly- she respected my more out of the box parenting wishes- she always used empathy and calmness when dealing with tantrums and behaviors and she respected our screen free home. She managed to do her job and then some all while continuing to keep my children off of all media. As parents- we all know how hard that is and Maxine did it gracefully without skipping a beat. She could sense where and when she was needed and step up during times that we needed extra support. I could keep going but Maxine will be an addition to any family who is looking for help.

As our daughter got older, Winnie was very proactive in suggesting age appropriate classes and enriching activities. Our now 20 month old has wonderful manners, knows all her letters, numbers to 10, colors, body parts and a bevy of animals.

She has treated my boys like they are her own and has always had our family’s best interests at heart. This winter, during the pandemic, birthday celebrations were limited. That didn't stop Judy from surprising my son with a special birthday breakfast! She made him all his favorite foods and made his day. My husband and I both work full time, and we were able to leave each day knowing our boys were in amazingly capable hands. Not only has she helped shape them into the kids they are today, but she has also guided my husband and me through the trials and tribulations that come with being parents. When my eldest was three, he got sick, and he needed to go to the doctor. We insisted Judy go home because of her long commute. I get to the doctor's office, and my son throws up and continues to cry. I was overwhelmed, but Judy was right there, ready to help. We are so sad that we have to help her find a new family to call home due to career changes. Judy can start right away.

She is able to balance many tasks, all successfully and timely. My children adore her and after 19 years with my family are sad to see her move to another family. Malini is smart, detailed, and is able to mesh within family dynamics. She is a loving woman who could not have loved my children more even if they were her own. Malini is a GEM...and anyone lucky enough to hire her will quickly see that!

Our beloved nanny of four years, Roslyn "Roz" Campbell, is available to start working for another family immediately. Roz cared for our son since he was 2 months old, first in NYC and then in Westchester. We would've kept her forever, but our needs unfortunately changed. Roz is, hands down, the COOLEST, calmest, most caring and adaptable nanny around. She's soulful, eternally optimistic and so, so, SO...SOCIAL. We attribute Roz with our son's confidence and ability to make friends. She showed him how it's done! I called her my parental "Yoda" because she always seemed to have the answers to everything...without being judgmental or pushy. Oh, and did I mention she sings? There's constant music in the house when Roz is around! If you want your child to be well-adjusted, confident, friendly and just plain 'ole HAPPY every day: ROZ. If you want to ensure your child is safe, loved and well cared for every day: ROZ. If you want a nanny you can trust, a nanny who's never late or misses a day...a nanny who's adaptable to all situations no matter what: ROZ. Roz is extremely special to us, and we want the very best for her!

Our family had the privilege of working with Amanda as our nanny for almost 3 years. We're so sorry to see her go as my daughter is starting preK, Amanda feels truly irreplaceable for our family in so many ways. During our time together, she cared for our daughter starting the age of 5 months. Amanda is a consummate professional, she has certification in Principles of Early Child Development and training in Child Care CPR and First Aid. She's always in good spirits and ready to meet our daughter with open arms. Each morning my child was so happy to see her and looked forward to the fun activities she had planned. Pre covid I was always impressed by the numbers of playdates that filled their 'social calendar'. Since the pandemic she has made sure that my toddler is still enjoying social interaction with a small group of peers in a covid proof way. This fall and winter she and my toddler were part of a local community of stay at home parents, nannies and toddlers that organizes outdoor activities in the park. Amanda was also considerate to update us throughout the day with text messages and photos while they were out and about: visiting the park, playrooms or enjoying a picnic with friends. Most important, I always found my daughter to be safe, happy and healthy. Our nanny was always extremely attentive & engaging with her and rarely on her phone. Over the years, many local parents have come up to us with compliments about how kind, caring and responsible she is. Amanda is a wonderful asset to any family with children from infant and up. I'll gladly refer her as a nanny to any family!

Martha is a fantastic nanny who has been with our family since my daughter was 2 weeks old. The ONLY reason we are letting her find another family is because my children are now 10 and 13 and as much I like the full time help, I do not need it. She is somewhat of a baby whisperer. She is so kind and gentle and organized. She always arrives well before time and will stay late, as needed. She is endlessly patient, extremely responsible and very helpful around the house. She had my kids on schedules and showed them so much love. In fact, the entire family was in tears the day we talked about letting her go. Consider yourself lucky, if you have the opportunity to make her part of your family! Martha is also VERY safe when it comes to COVID. She is conscious of our safety concerns and can be trusted to follow protocol. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Gisella is one of the kindest, most caring people I know. We met Gisella when she was a nanny to my son\'s friend nearly 7 years ago. When my son\'s friend\'s family moved away, we engaged Gisella as a part-time nanny to help out when our full-time nanny was unavailable. She has been a caring, attentive and fantastic part of our family. I have two children, 9 (son) and 6 (daughter) and while they both love her, my daughter and Gisella have a special bond because of their shared love of crafting and the arts. Gisella is an exceptional artist and if you have a child that likes to draw or create designs, engaging Gisella will be like having an artist instructor at your home. Gisella is a master at building things out of construction paper, ribbon, pipe cleaners, etc. She captured my daughter\'s imagination every week and we were always left with the most gorgeous crafts afterwards which my daughter proudly displayed. In addition, she took the kids out on playdates (pre-COVID) and out to the playgrounds regularly. Gisella is always on time and leaves our home tidy and the kids ready for the evening. Gisella has 3 children (1 grown and working) and has also been extremely careful during the pandemic -- it\'s one of the reasons I recommend her so highly. She would be a great addition to any family and I\'m happy to share more if you have any questions. We made the difficult decision to leave NYC a few months ago and are sad to leave Gisella and hope to find her a wonderful new family.

Parent Reference

Our long-time, much-loved nanny, Verena, is looking for a new position in Brooklyn now that we have moved out of the city. Verena has become a part of our family over the last nearly six years - she joined us when our older daughter, now a 1st grader, was four months old, and for the last two years also ably handled the additional challenge of adding our (newborn preemie) twins. Verena is incredibly reliable - I can count on one hand the number of unplanned days off that she took over the course of those six years, and she was always very flexible and willing to stay late or come on weekends if we had something come up or had plans. She taught our children to be kind and caring, and also to be independent and to have fun. She was so good at working with them on their language and other developmental skills (fine motor, ABCs, colors, etc. etc.), even amidst the chaos of twins (or at least the chaos of our twins). She does it all with a smile and so much patience, and, when we did have a sick kid or a playground fall, she handled it exactly as we would have wanted her to. She made her own baby purees and cooked for the kids, and was also very proactive about finding things for the kids to do in the neighborhood in terms of classes, story times, and playdates (back when those were things that we did). She has worked in the Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill/Downtown Brooklyn area for many years and knows the area well. We miss her very much, and are jealous of the lucky family that gets to work with her going forward. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested!

If you are looking for an experienced and utterly reliable nanny with a professional approach, look no further than our dear Geraldine (Gigi). After four happy years, she is looking for a new family as our daughter no longer needs full-time care. Gigi has been looking after young children for most of her working life and her knowledge and experience was a great source of comfort for us as first-time parents. Over the years, she has called in sick only once, has stayed back at short notice when required, and is always punctual with appointments. She did all the usual duties but she also brings with her a strong network of carers and families, some of whom have become our friends. Gigi is loyal and genuinely cares for the children she has looked after, and remains in contact with the families she has worked with. She is a hard worker and knows her craft - a true gem. Gigi is looking for like-minded families with whom she can have a mutually respectful and beneficial relationship.

Souad has been with our family since our daughter Lily was born six years ago, and she was the primary caregiver for Lily and her younger brother until we moved away. Souad is a wonderful, loving caregiver. Being a nanny is her career and she excels at it. We have always felt complete trust when we hand over our children to Souad every day--that they will be safe, loved and nurtured. Moreover, she is a hard worker, reliable and flexible. So many parents we meet ask us how we were so lucky to find Souad. Actually, we found her on a similarly glowing review here on mommy bites. At the time, we interviewed 16 candidates and Souad was easily our favorite. Souad helps arrange playdates, can juggle multiple children and makes good, healthy meals. She is a successful parent herself with two wonderful kids in college. Souad grew up in Paris and is happy to speak French with the children. Like so many other people, our lives have been turned upside down by the coronavirus and we are no longer living in the city. Please feel free to reach out to her directly or to me with any questions. We can’t recommend Souad enough.

Roxanne has been taking care of my baby girl Kira, since she was three months old. I find her to be very genuine and loving towards my daughter. she was also very flexible and respects time, which was a plus for me. Roxanne was also very attentive to the needs of my child; she prepared her daily meals, gave her baths when necessary, ensured that my baby's environment was always clean and safe, took her for walks, and created playdates. she is a very reliable lady who basically attended to the day to day running of my house because I was so busy. unfortunately, my husband and I are moving out of state and I would love for Roxanne to be in the hands of a good family who will benefit from her expertise in child care. she is very good with new born. She is available to work full-time Mondays through to Fridays and sometimes on weekends if needs be. Roxanne can be reached @ 929 -461- 0991 or email: [email protected]

Parent Reference

Shahara began working with our family full-time in 2016 when our oldest son was six months old and continued to care for both of our children after our youngest son was born in 2018. Shahara is a responsible, playful, affectionate, and hardworking nanny who helped raise our boys joyfully. She brought laughter and peace into our home every time she stepped inside. Our boys, who turn 3 and 5 in March, love and respect her, and personally, I learned a lot about parenting by observing her. I have truly enjoyed her presence in our home. Early on, Shahara built relationships with a few other families in our building and neighborhood, whose children continue to be friends with ours. She both proactively and with our blessing, scheduled play dates, engaged the boys in creative and age-appropriate projects, found classes for them all while ensuring that all their basic needs were met. As an experienced nanny, she helped potty train, maintain sleep schedules, cooked for the boys, supported remote learning in recent months, and so much more. She taught them so much - from dressing themselves, taking responsibility, respecting others, and worked with them on early preschool skills. I really don't know what we would have done without her! My husband and I wholeheartedly trust Shahara with our boys and always felt they were in safe hands with her. I can’t say enough about the support she provided our family; she truly felt like a partner in helping raise our children and it is our pleasure to refer her to another family.

Fantastic, loyal nanny available!!! I’m posting this on behalf of our nanny, Sandra, who was with us for 7 years and is available now. Sandra was part of our family since my oldest child was 4 months (we have 3 kids now). We hired her immediately when she was referred by my friend whose son she cared for for 5 years prior. It’s impossible to put into words how much of an impact Sandra has had on our kids and on us as parents. She is endlessly patient, kind, loving, respectful and responsible. In 7 years she was NEVER late (through rain, snow, storms- nothing stops her) and was sick maybe twice. She takes her responsibilities so seriously that she will do whatever it takes to get to her job on time because she knows you are depending on her. I spent two extended maternity leaves with Sandra and work from home regularly so we knew each other very well. She taught our kids to be respectful, kind and joyful. She was always playing with them on the floor and just as happy building block towers with our toddler as she was helping my first grader with her homework. She was never distracted on her phone, extremely focused on safety, very flexible, and will support your approach as parents with a smile. The only reason we parted ways is that we decided to move out of the city. She has also babysat for my brother and sister in law with their newborn daughter. she's one of a kind!

My current nanny is available for work starting in March. We are moving a few hours away, and cannot keep her on. Susan has worked for us since May, when we felt comfortable letting someone into our home (covid). It was a unique time for all of us. She’s been with us since our son was 8 month until now, he’s 17 months. I can’t say enough good things about Susan, especially in regards to the current environment. She is the most reliable person I know. She is loving towards our son, helpful around the apartment, understanding of our unique work situation (we work in the apt. as well), deals with our anxious/big dog, thinks about our family on the weekends, and is a true team player. It has been strange working from home during this time, but it has helped me get to know her even more. I trust her with our son 100%, and I know nearly first hand how much she cares for him. I have never had to worry about whether she was being safe, related to covid. I am so sad we cannot keep working with her, and most of all I am sad my son will miss her. She lives in Queens, but is flexible on location.

Althia is an incredibly reliable, Covid responsible nanny who has cared for both of our children since they were born. We cannot speak highly enough of her. Not only is she great with kids (and was especially helpful and supportive to me as a new mother) she is also reliable (never called out unless sick which was maybe twice in four years), respectful and all around good person. Both children have flourished under her care and she takes pride in teaching them developmental tasks, reading, singing etc. She actively engages with the kids. She took them to classes, cooked when I asked her to and also kept the apartment in great condition. She did the kids laundry, light housekeeping, did grocery shopping when needed. She is highly highly recommended. She also takes Covid precautions very seriously, is willing to be tested regularly and has experience with remote learning.

Parent Reference

We can’t recommend our Nanny, Irene, highly enough. She is kind, attentive, caring, playful, and wonderfully warm with our daughter and us. She has been with us full-time since our daughter was 6 months old. Irene helped us through the various development stages: eating a varied and healthy diet, getting onto a regular nap routine, potty training, and building language skills. Irene speaks to her solely in Spanish which was important to us though she speaks English with us. Two things that we really appreciate are the ease with which she organizes playdates and parties and how much time they spend out of doors with other children. Our daughter has many friends because Irene has committed to taking her to activities at various Brooklyn branch libraries, the botanic garden, and local singalongs. She arranges playdate with other nannies in the building and throughout the neighborhood. When I take my daughter to the park she is often greeted by nannies who know her. She takes our daughter to the doctor when she is sick, organized a birthday party for her birthday every year, reads to her, dances with her, teaches her, and is genuinely happy to see her every day. My daughter runs to her when she arrives at our apartment and jumps into her arms. When a neighbor asked if we could do a share having Irene take care of their son (he’s two weeks older than our daughter) along with our daughter two days a week last spring she willingly took on the challenge. She potty trained both children at the same time, and continued to take them out to the parks and activities every day (no matter the inclement weather) until the boy started in daycare/pre-K full time in September. She is comfortable around our large! Labrador-Retriever and has done an amazing job of keeping the dog calm when kids and caregivers come over for playdates. She is also CPR certified. Irene cooks healthy meals for our daughter and does her laundry as well as cleaning up daily. Finally, Irene has participated in multiple trainings to deepen her skills for working with young children; trainings included work on stages of development and appropriate activities, health and safety, environmental safety, and CPR. Finally, Irene’s own children are respectful, caring, and pleasant which was a good sign for us. Irene’s current family is moving out of state so she is looking for a new position. We are still in regular contact with her and see her regularly.

AMAZING NANNY AVAILABLE--Rehana has worked for our family for almost 4 years. She came highly recommended from a mom on mommybites and the second we met her we had a really good feeling about her and she has not disappointed (and we had interviewed at least 15-20 other nannies). She is a lovely human being--extremely warm, caring, honest and trustworthy. She took great care of our son and then when we had our daughter 1.5 years ago she was amazing with two kids as well. Rehana is very hard working and always on time. She rarely takes a sick day and is very dependable. She has made some great friends on the UWS where we live, and set up almost daily playdates for our kids. They are always well fed, clean and happy. To this day, our son's best friend is a kid we met through our nanny. Rehana is extremely conscientious about COVID. We are moving to the suburbs and unfortunately could not convince her to do the very long commute, which we totally understand. Feel free to reach out for a reference.

My family has been fortunate to have an excellent nanny for the past five years. We are parting ways due to changes in my work schedule and Roxanne is now looking to work with another family, preferably 4-5 days a week. Roxy joined our family when our oldest was 7 months old and was with us when we welcomed our youngest a year and a half later. She is dependable, calm, soothing and supportive. She is even-tempered, teaches good manners and gentle discipline. She was a rock of support for our family through illnesses, tantrums and busy work days. When our children were tiny, Roxy spent a lot of time reading with them, studying words, sounds, shapes and colors. Roxy was a huge help with milestones like changing nap schedules and potty training. She makes great friendships and is responsible for matching me and my oldest with some of our earliest neighborhood family friends. Pre-covid, Roxy planned playdates and kiddie dinner parties and when our children were babies she delighted in taking them to classes. Roxy has experience with newborns on up and families up to four kids. She is a certified baby nurse. Your family will be fortunate to have her in your lives.

Our beloved Nanny has been with us for about 6 years. She has helped take care of our twin daughters since they were 2 years old. She has become a part of our family and our daughters have benefited greatly from her care. She has been able to accommodate to our needs over the years as our family has grown and our needs have changed. Her job duties include laundry twice a week, daily cleaning, cooking for the family and safely bringing the children to & from school and activities. She also communicates well with our daughters and they complete trust her with any conversation. She also maintains open communication with us regarding our daughters' every day conversations, discussions and behavior. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we are all home a lot more and we no longer need her full time services. Ideally, we would love to keep her for 10-15 hours a week and find her another family for 30-40 hours a week. We understand that this may not be possible and a full-time job elsewhere may be best for her. We are flexible with our hours and we would be willing to work with another family if it works out. Ultimately, we want to make sure Sharda finds a nice family that will grow with her as we have over the past 6 years.

From singing, reading books, and chasing them around, to preparing their meals, doing their laundry, and keeping their rooms tidy - Kinely can and does do it all. Kinley communicates well and takes direction easily. She has a calm and gentle personality, but can also be firm when necessary. She has excellent judgement and is always prepared for any scenario.

We could not be more thankful for her love and affection for our boys. With over 20 years of experience, it seemed like Gwen knew everything to know about babies and children. From feedings to naps to potty training, she taught us so much. Our sons learned to roll, walk, and talk, all with her great patience and guidance. Lastly, over the course of the four years we worked with Gwen, she became the mayor of our neighborhood. If you ever walk down the street with her, you will stop to say hello to everyone.
