We are looking to find a new family for our wonderful nanny Pearl. Pearl has been with our daughter since she was just 4 months old and has been with us for almost 3 years. As first time parents, Pearl was truly a gift to have as a nanny. Pearl was so helpful in every way during the difficult transition to going back to work full-time. She quickly came up to speed on our schedule and routines and we always had peace of mind leaving our baby in her care. She was very supportive and knowledgeable through all forms of feeding and helped as we transitioned from breast-feeding, to formula to solid foods. She made home made and nutritious purees that our daughter loved and I credit her for having a toddler now who is a very adventurous eater. We live in Williamsburg, and even though Pearl was new to the neighborhood (her previous families were in Park Slope) she quickly learned the lay of the land. She took our daughter to the park, library, music classes, and always had great ideas and feedback for enrichment activities. She made age appropriate friends and arranged playdates so I never felt that our daughter was lacking socialization. Pearl is an avid reader and is always reading and singing with our daughter, and she is also great at getting on the floor, playing and getting my girl to laugh. She’s truly an expert at raising children and was always ready to help our daughter’s development, whether it was taking her first step, weaning off the “paci” or getting her to sleep in her big girl’s bed. Our daughter is very high energy, and Pearl never once missed a beat in keeping up with her and making sure that she was safe. She’s firm when she needs to be, but always gentle and never loses her temper. Most importantly, I can honestly say that Pearl loves my daughter like her own, and always places her well being first. Since we both work long hours, we always appreciated coming home to find our daughter, well fed, bathed and happy. She also was key in helping to keep our apartment in order and would leave the kitchen spotless, toys tidied and laundry clean and folded. She's reliable, on time, and great at staying in communication. She always sends plenty of texts and pictures throughout the day so I could feel like I was part of their day. You really won’t regret hiring Pearl to join your family. She is truly a professional nanny and has over 30 years of experience. She has been employed with all of her families long term - 5 years plus - and we are only parting ways with her now because we have relocated out of the city, otherwise we would have kept her with us as long as we could. When we did our nanny search, I called all of her prior families and they all gave a glowing reference, and she has certainly earned a glowing reference from us as well. As one of the prior families told me - Pearl is the opposite of lazy. She’s always willing to work and available for extra overtime or babysitting. She’s an incredibly honest and hard working person who has raised three lovely, college educated daughters of her own. Even before Covid, she was always meticulous about hand washing, and she is extra cautious now taking all precautions with masks, etc. She’s looking for a full-time position in either Brooklyn or Manhattan. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 917-822-4003 if you have any questions, or you can contact Pearl directly at 718 781-7017.

My former full time nanny, Debra, was just told that her current employer is moving out of state at the end of the year, so she will be looking for a new family (and if she finds the right one, could start earlier, as the mom feels terrible and won’t hold her back). I can’t say enough wonderful things about Debra. She worked with me from mid-2014 until fall of 2019, beginning when my oldest son was 9 months old. I had another little boy in December 2019 and she was beyond skilled at handling two little ones only 15 months apart. Debra did literally everything for my kids – infant care, potty training, nap training, social skills, introduction to feeding, playdates, teaching letters and numbers and shapes and reading, cooking, if you name it it’s in her wheelhouse. She has good judgment, was a collaborative partner, and always balanced following my directions with discussing how things might work better, always in a constructive way. Both my kids needed special services – speech, OT, PT – and she worked incredibly well with the providers to follow through on the take home from those sessions. In over 5 years, she was never late, rarely got sick, stayed late when I needed her to, and went above and beyond. Debra was and remains a gentle loving presence in our home, as at this point she’s become family and visits my kids every two weeks. They love her; she comes into the house and everything else falls away. So much good in my children’s character comes from her – their good manners, kindness, sharing, playing well with others. Debra also got along extremely well with other nannies and moms, and I consistently received unsolicited and wonderful feedback from my children’s preschool (and from other moms who saw her interact with my kids). It broke my heart to let her go last year, and the only reason I did was because they were in school and I could no longer afford to pay her full time. I wish I could rehire her myself but she still needs full time. Note on pets, Debra is comfortable with cats and dogs, just doesn’t want to have to walk a dog. Also note on Covid – Debra has been driving to work and takes all precautions (as does her current work family). I’m happy to provide a reference for anyone who would like to speak. It’s so important to me that Debra finds a family who deserves her as I simply could not value her more highly. Please DM me for Debra’s number – thank you!

Carina came to my family when I had 3 boys under the age of 3. Our regular nanny took a leave of absence, and we needed someone to watch our kids full-time (7:30-5:30pm, Mon-Fri) for 2 months. She commuted from Queens to the Upper West Side every day and was never late. She played with my kids, took them to classes and playdates, and kept me up-to-date via texts throughout the day. She was a godsend during a very stressful time for us. I'll forever be grateful. She's currently looking for her next family, and any family would be lucky to have her. Feel free to reach out directly to her or me if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

Liz is a warm, intelligent, experienced, and calm person whose care of our son for 11 years offered us complete confidence in his well-being. She is attentive, personable, thoughtful, and extraordinarily patient. Her values are superb: she is deeply kind and good. A mother to three nearly grown children of her own, Liz has been helping to care for the children of others for more than two decades. As our son grew from an infant into a sturdy young man, she took pride in his accomplishments and in his growing independence. Her sense of humor helps her to be both flexible and resourceful. Everyone who knows her respects and admires her. Her reliability in her eleven years of working with our family was unimpeachable. She took on light chores as our son spent more time at school, helping to keep our family life stable and structured, especially in those times when we needed her "above and beyond" help--early morning hours, or even an evening stretch. She loves children and finds them to be immensely enjoyable. She encouraged and nurtured our son's continuing love of books, and reading, and modeled for him how to move in the world with kindness and grace.

As a result, our sons have become well-behaved and well-rounded children. She arranged to have playdates and took them to all their activities. Lily has always been punctual, respectful, and does her job with the best of her abilities; we truly appreciate her for providing excellent care and love to our children over these past years. We consider him a member of our family. Anything more you may need to know to contact me, I will be happy to speak to you. Part-time works for her..looking forward to hearing from you.

I wanted to post for our wonderful former nanny. Her new family is moving to NJ to have more space and she needs to find a new family to grace with her love and warmth and tremendous trustworthiness. So I thought I’d post for her here... Wynelle Gonzales worked with our family as a nanny for almost 5 years, starting when our first daughter was 20 months old and our second daughter was 4 months away from being born. She worked for us both in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. \"Care\" is the word that comes to mind really; Wynelle cares in the most extraordinary way. She cared deeply about our children and about doing the best job she could as a professional nanny. I know this aspect of her personality is also tremendously important during the pandemic; while she was working for her current family, she was so careful about not coming into contact with others while the pandemic was raging. When she worked for us, she generally worked until 6:30pm, but she rarely left right on time. Every day for 4 1/2 years, Wynelle insisted on staying until she felt like she had completed everything she meant to do that day. In addition to caring for our girls, she helped with cleaning around the house and cared for all our girls' things. And she plays. I've never met anyone as good at endlessly imagining games, building puzzles, and running around playgrounds. Teachers and other moms were constantly telling me how impressed they were by her when I was not around. She read to our girls all the time, ever since they were babies. She did art projects with them and took them to activities around the neighborhood. She is infinitely trustworthy and responsible -- partially, I think, because she cares so much about what she does. She is never on her cell phone unless it's to organize a play date. And she is fantastic to work with. She is happy to follow your lead and also happy to take charge if you want her to. She is the ultimate \"team player\" in that way; I really love working with her. She just has such a great attitude and she is such a loving, beautiful person. We have been so lucky to have her in our lives. Her cell is +1 (347) 276-7005. Her email is [email protected] Feel free to call me to talk more. My cell is 646-645-6668.

I am writing to recommend my former nanny. Margaret Simmons, for anyone seeking full-time childcare. Margaret is an exceptional care-taker. With more than 8 years experience. She is energetic and productive, Organized, kind and thoughtful. Margaret started when our daughter was six months old and would have been with us for 8 years. While we would have loved to keep her on our family situation has changed because of this pandemic. Margaret is one of the most dependable people I know. She cared for our daughter fully and capably, following any instructions given and provided regular feedback on their activities during the day. In addition for the entire duration of her employment she was never late for work not once despite the challenges of having to travel by the unpredictable subway system to reach our residence. Linked to this she is also very responsive to our family's needs for example, my husband and I would both often have to unexpectedly work late during the week and she was always flexible to the situation. And even on nights where she worked late, she would always arrive promply the next morning. We appreciated that she was always actively reading, singing, engaging, talking and playing with her. Which we felt was critical to her early childhood development. Margaret is also active and enjoys spending time outside and going for walks, to the park, to the library and different children classes as well as arranging play dates. Margaret displayed the highest levels of integrity and honesty in all aspects of our interactions with her. There was never any trust issues over the duration of her employment. Any family looking for a nanny would be lucky to have Margaret take care of their children and I would highly recommend you hire her, if you get the opportunity. She will be an asset to your family.

We have known Nima both professionally and, over the years, more personally, and she is an amazing nanny and would be a welcome asset to any family. We recently moved from NYC to California temporarily, and given that we will be working remotely for the foreseeable future, we are hoping to find Nima a new family. She was with us for over 4 years (and with her prior employer for even longer), and for context cared for our older son from ages 6 months to 5 and our younger son from 0-3 and managed activities including both at home, shuttling them to and from school, etc. Some of her best qualities are: 1. Warm, loving, and kind – was complimented my numerous parents, even neighbors, that my nanny was so tender and caring for our children 2. Dependable – was late at most 2 times in the 4+ years she was with us, let alone being sick (not sure she ever took any sick days), and those were because there were copious subway delays. She was also flexible as it related to managing around our work hours (in pre-Covid environment) 3. Managing picky eaters – both my kids hated to eat, and Nima made meal times fun for them 4. Manners – my children are kind, thoughtful, and exceedingly polite due to Nima’s gentle reminders 5. Innovative – Nima constantly helped us try out new toys, schedules, playgrounds, playdates etc, and was very open about what worked for our children and what didn’t 6. Trustworthy – I was never worried about my children when they were with Nima and she sent pictures when I was traveling since she knew I missed them Every interaction Nima had with our family was simply genuine and we look back very fondly at how fortunate we were to have her in our lives. Had it not been for the pandemic and the changing circumstances, we would still have her with us. I cannot recommend her highly enough and am happy to address any questions you have.

Marie was our wonderful, loving nanny for four years to our children (now ages 5 and 7). In that period, she became a truly valued and trusted member of our family. She is an extremely warm, kind, reliable and flexible person. She has a strong moral character and work ethic. We went to work each day knowing that we could fully entrust Marie with our children’s safety, well-being and development. She also kept us very organized, helping us manage the kids’ extremely busy schedules. She cooked for them, did their laundry, read to them and eventually helped them learn to read, and enthusiastically helped them with any other activities that we requested (e.g., workbooks). She was also great about getting them out of the apartment and to the playground whenever there was free time. Most importantly, she was great with our children – she treated both of them like her own and she is one of the few people that are son actually listened to. She struck that perfect balance of warmth and discipline. Unfortunately, due to the recent pandemic we moved out of the city and were forced to part with Marie. We are very saddened to be losing her as she is truly one of a kind. She has our highest recommendation and would make a great addition to anyone’s family!

Our wonderful nanny Evelyn is available for a full-time role. We’re no longer in need of full-time care as we’re now working from home. We absolutely couldn’t recommend her more highly! Evelyn has been with us for over 3 years, starting when our two children were 6 months and 4 years old. When we first met her, we knew it was meant to be. Our children have so greatly benefited from the love, support and energy that she brought into our lives. Our kids would run to the door to greet her every morning and were just so happy under her care. She set up playdates, visits to the park, activities around the neighborhood and make sure that our kids had new experiences and built critical social skills and early friendships. She was also amazing about bringing us ideas for games, puzzles and activities that were age appropriate to help them grow – from teaching our son his letters and numbers to learning how to spell his name and prepare for preschool, she was proactive about it all. Evelyn was also wonderful about establishing the right structure for our kids and being incredibly warm and nurturing, but firm in an age-appropriate way and ensuring they were polite and had good manners. She is incredibly loving and playful with our children and is great about communicating with us throughout the day by sending quick texts or photos to let us know what they are up to. She keeps our kids room tidy, does their laundry, bathes them and keeps their nails perfectly trimmed. She’s proactive about all the little things that busy parents need support with. She has a culinary degree and cooks healthy meals for our children that they are happy to eat, making sure they have balanced meals and variety. Our home was always tidied up at the end of the day with the kitchen clean. She is fluent in English and Spanish and CPR certified. My husband and I both work full time and my work schedule over the past few years has involved a significant amount of travel. Evelyn has been extremely flexible with us and reliable. She was flexible about her hours and willing to come in early and stay over weekends as we needed the extra support when I was traveling. She is always punctual and incredibly dependable. We trust her to the highest degree and knew our kids always had her full attention and priority. Most importantly, Evelyn loves our children as her own and is very protective of them. We consider her part of our family and are so sad to lose her. We hope that we can find her a loving family who is looking for a long-term nanny. Evelyn prefers a 40 hour or more full-time schedule and works evenings and weekends as needed. She is comfortable with children of any age and has experience from babies to older children. She has been incredibly careful with Covid and is willing to get tested and stay safe as needed. Please reach out to her at 347-340-7334 and feel free to contact me with any questions at all ([email protected] or 917-545-6057 for text).

As with many families, we are sadly leaving Manhattan. The decision is complicated for many reasons but saying goodbye to our nanny, Angie (Rohannie), is by far the most difficult. I found Angie through another mom and she has been with us since my son was three months old (now almost 2 years old). Angie received glowing recommendations from her two previous families and was a standout when compared to the other nannies I interviewed (Angie's previous families are also available as references). Angie is warm, hard-working and reliable. Among the things I love most about Angie is her ease. She fits seamlessly into our family and brings calm to our household of two full-time working parents. Our son was born premature and was in a very low percentile for weight when Angie joined our family. That all change with her care and he has flourished. Angie is an expert with newborns and has guided my husband and I through all his milestones. As first time parents, we would be truly lost without her! Angie is incredibly hands on with our son and he adores her. She takes him outside to the park, organizes playdates, to/from activities, cooks meals and bath time. He loves to read, chat and is very polite. Angie shares in our values and has been instrumental in his development. Angie has been with us through covid and takes the same precautions as my family. We trust her implicitly with the well-being of our son. I cannot say enough positive things about Angie. We have offered Angie a position in Long Island but she prefers to stay in Manhattan. Her preference is Battery Park but is open to other areas as well. Our loss is your gain. Angie would be an excellent addition to your family and your child will benefit from her love and care.

She has been wonderful with the kids at all ages. She handles breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the kids, does laundry for the whole family, and keeps the kids' room clean and organized. Before the pandemic and shutdown, she brought the kids to regular classes around Upper Manhattan for years and took the initiative to organize frequent play dates and museum and zoo visits with other children. Since the pandemic, we have restricted activities and outings and we trust her to be very safe with the kids and on her own time. She is an incredibly calm, kind, patient person and my children truly love her like a member of the family.

Hello parents, Peace of mind is extremely important when you are looking for someone to care for your children. With our former nanny Shin I was always confident my children were in not only qualified hands but also loving and caring ones. Shin worked for us for several years in a full time capacity and currently in a part time one. She started when our first was just 3 months old, she is now 8 and continues to have a strong bond with her. This is a true display of the wonderful qualities and capabilities Shin has with taking care of children. Our 3 kids were always engaged, happy and excited to have Shin with them. Currently we are only using Shin in a part time capacity, prior to the pandemic she was working with another family in a full time role. The family she had her full-time position with like so many others has moved out of the city due to the pandemic. We sadly can not support the full time position she is looking for but I would really love to find her a family that could benefit from her as we did. She understands the caution around the current situation and was comfortable with coming to stay with us briefly so a live in role can be accommodated if needed. I would happily and gratefully answer any questions or details regarding Shin. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] Finding her a new family is extremely important to us as she has truly became a part of ours! Lauren Duc (917) 364-4089 [email protected]

Parent Reference

Paula has been caregiver to our daughter for the past 6 ½ years—since our daughter was aged two. In that time, Paula kept a close eye on our daughter while we were away at work, cooked her fresh and healthy meals every day, picked her up from school, managed her schedule and transportation to a myriad of after-school activities, proactively organized play dates for her with friends, took her to doctor and dental appointments, and helped her learn to navigate social dynamics on the playground. Our daughter formed a close and caring relationship with Paula. As parents, we were able to focus on our professional responsibilities during weekdays and return home to spend quality family and playtime with our daughter before the end of her day. In the 6+ years that Paula worked with our family, we could count on one hand the number of days she called in sick. We found Paula to be highly professional, dedicated and reliable. She also made sure to proactively communicate observations or issues related to our daughter she felt were important for us to know. We made a strong team. As our daughter enters fourth grade, we find that our needs as a family have changed. We will miss Paula and hope that she finds a wonderful, caring family with whom she can form a long-term relationship.

Our amazing nanny Terry has been a part of our family for the past 8 years, helping raise our two children. Unfortunately, as our children have gotten older our needs are changing, and we really want to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can count on. Terry has been with us since our son was 4 months old and the day our daughter was born. She loves babies, but transitioned seamlessly into caring for both of our children as they got older. She is super interactive and loves singing, reading and dancing with them - always looking to make them smile and laugh. She keeps them busy and happy with playdates, lots of time outside at different playgrounds, parks and museums. She is incredibly patient, calm, makes good decisions and can be firm when necessary. Beyond the fact that our children love her, we have an incredibly deep appreciation for how trustworthy, reliable and flexible she is helping us manage our busy lives. She is accommodating when needed and super reliable - most mornings she arrives early, but never late. Terry takes direction well, but is very comfortable being self guided where needed. Terry was never idle - whether playing with the children, cooking or keeping things super clean and tidy. Particularly relevant in these times, Terry has always taken health and hygiene very seriously, making good decisions for herself and reinforcing good behaviors with our children. We couldn't have done any of it without her! I know her next family will feel as lucky and loved as we have. Please feel free to reach out to me for more detail or with any questions - or you can contact Terry directly. Take care & stay healthy!

Leaving the city and want to find a fantastic family for our nanny. Rosemary “Rosie” Francis, joined our family two years ago, when our son was 8 weeks old, and he absolutely adores her. Rosie is nurturing, has a calming presence and is extremely reliable. She has been great with our son at every stage of his development from a newborn to an energetic toddler. When our son was a newborn Rosie was good about making sure he got tummy time at home and kept him on a regular schedule. Now that our son is a toddler, Rosie is always happy to get down on the floor and play trains or dance around the apartment with him. She takes him to the park whenever the weather is nice and has been very proactive about finding activities for him, like story time at our neighborhood library branch or a gym class at our local community center. Rosie is great about making me feel connected with my son even when I am not around. She constantly sends us pictures of him and lets us know how his day is going. In addition to taking wonderful care of our son, Rosie is great about cleaning up, cooking nutritious meals, making sure the dishes are done and his laundry is taken care of. Each morning our son runs to the door to greet Rosie with lots of hugs and kisses. Rosie came to us with almost 18 years worth of childcare experience. Rosie was with her previous family for almost eight years and they spoke incredibly highly of her. We will miss Rosie terribly. Do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions.

Parent Reference

Luz Elena Morales worked for my family as my children’s nanny from early January 2016 until we moved to California earlier this year. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a nanny for their children. My oldest son was 4 months old when Elena started working for us. She was able to get him smiling and laughing within the first hours of starting to care for him, and I never had to worry going back to work as a new mom, knowing that he was being well cared for and loved by Elena. Elena continued to work with us through the birth of my daughter 19 months later, and cared for both children alone when I went back to work, and through the birth of my youngest son in late 2019. Elena gives her undivided attention to the children when she is with them. She is always focused on their needs and engaging with them. She always noticed right away if they showed symptoms of illness and raised any concerns with us. She truly cares for them and they for her. They would run to greet her every morning when she arrived with big hugs and smiles. Elena is an expert in caring for newborn and infant children. She knows strategies for getting them to stay calm, sleep, and take bottles. She is also wonderful in caring for young children. She is proactive about getting them out to the park, to age appropriate activities, or scheduling playdates. She is knowledgeable about toys, products, and medicines, and often recommended items to me I had not heard about. She also worked with my children on educational activities, such as practicing writing letters and numbers, in an organic and fun way. Moreover, she instills in them manners and respect, such as cleaning up their toys and sharing with other children. She does so with positive energy and rewards rather than punishment. Elena is bilingual and spoke Spanish with our children at our request. Additionally, she has taken covid very seriously, recently tested negative on a covid test, and will take any precautions requested by her next employer. She is also currently taking classes to renew her driver’s license. Elena was very helpful around the house, including with cooking and light cleaning. She is a great cook and prepares healthy meals for the kids. She also helps with grocery shopping. She maintains the kitchen and children’s clothing and areas clean and neat. She was accommodating with requests to stay late or come in on the weekend, and responsive to after-hours questions. If we had not moved out-of-state, we would have planned to employ Elena as our nanny for years to come. We still miss her terribly and know that whoever she works for next will be very lucky to have her. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Cook: Yes, for kids only
Laundry: Yes, for kids only

Live in/out: Only live-out

Parent Reference

Veronica has been with us for more than 12 years. She arrived when our son was three months old, has become an important part of our lives, and if we could figure out a way to keep her for another 12 years we would! We knew when we met her she was the perfect choice for our family. She was soft-spoken and calm and had an air of confidence about her that was so reassuring to us as new parents. She has always been organized, thoughtful, patient, very punctual, and has excellent judgment but, most importantly, she is warm and loving and focused on our son. No matter his age she kept him engaged whether that was running around in the park with other children, visiting a museum, or just playing with toys and reading in his room. They have always had fun together and she has made sure that he spent lots time just being a kid. She was much more likely to take him to the park than to ever let him watch TV or play with an iPad. When Veronica first began working for us she had two children and six years ago she had a third (the little sibling my son always wanted) but by that point it was more like her fourth because she treated our son like one of her own. Over time he became more and more a part of her family and there have been times when he has stayed with them for several days when we have gone out of town. Having this “other family” has been a wonderful experience for our only child and has taught him how to navigate the world of siblings and to share in very different ways. One other amazing thing about Veronica is that we asked her to speak and read only Spanish to our son and she has, to this day, done just that. Her hard work and dedication to our request has made our son bi-lingual – something that we could not have accomplished on our own. As our son has grown, Veronica’s responsibilities each year have changed but the transitions to new situations have been completely smooth – all was just taken in stride. We have always tried to keep our relationship with Veronica open and supportive and we have discussed all types of issues “mom to mom” rather than as employer/employee. She has reinforced our wishes with regard to raising our son and we very much value and respect her opinion and experience. Her hard work and dedication to our son has helped to make him a strong, independent, young man and the bond they share is amazing. We will miss her daily presence in our lives but we know that the next family for whom she works will be incredibly happy and lucky. We highly recommend Veronica without hesitation.

Sue is an AMAZING nanny who has worked with us for the last two years and has truly become part of our family. She started working with us when our son was a newborn and has been with us ever since. We are so sad to lose Sue as our nanny, but unfortunately we are relocating and she is unable to follow us. Any parent would be lucky to have her as a nanny. She is a godsend with newborns. My husband and I actually call her the baby whisperer because she was able to put and keep our son asleep for hours on end. While our son napped, she was very proactive in preparing homemade baby food for him, cleaning up any messes he made, and doing his laundry. Honestly, with Sue around, you couldn’t even tell we had a baby in the house! In addition to her duties in the house, Sue made it a priority to help socialize our son and routinely planned play dates, park outings, library story times, etc. It really has made a difference in his demeanor around other kids. Because of her, our son is so friendly and open to playing with new children. She is extremely reliable and punctual, is CPR certified, and is always present with our son (never distracted on her phone). Sue is also very careful when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness, especially during COVID. She is constantly washing her hands and our son’s hands, disinfecting after returning to the house, and always wears a mask when outside. I highly recommend Sue for your nanny needs. You won’t be disappointed!

Two years ago I read a post that started “we’re moving out of the city, and the hardest part will be leaving Helena.” Two years later I am now writing that myself – with COVID having led us to leave the city earlier than we ever imagined, and our hearts breaking to be without Helena. I was a first time mom when we met, and very nervous about finding a nanny that would fit with our family and our then-1 year old, who had only ever been cared for by myself or my parents. Helena was the first and only nanny we ever interviewed – I knew the moment we met it was meant to be. Our family will forever be better because of the love, support and energy that she brought into our lives, and the balance she created. Helena is joyful and brings positive energy to every day. My daughter would run to the door every morning to see her, excited for the day ahead. From setting up playdates, to trips to the park or zoo, and activities all around the city, Helena was instrumental to ensuring that our daughter had new experiences and built social skills and friendships. She was also amazing at bringing ideas to me about games, puzzles, and learning activities – from numbers, letters and colors to building blocks and STEM toys. Our daughter flourished, and when I’d get home every day she was so excited to tell me what they had done. I will forever cherish walking into our apartment each evening to the sound of their laughter, dancing and singing. Helena was also wonderful in setting a framework for my daughter and being nurturing but firm in an age-appropriate way. She explained the world to our daughter, taught her manners, and used rationale for what not-do-do in a way that our daughter could understand and that we could mimic. She helped us get into a routine and nap schedule that worked for the whole family, with love, cuddles and lullabies to support our daughter every step of the way. If something felt unsafe to her (an activity or a situation) she would not do it and she’d let me know why – this was incredibly helpful as we tried out new programs, group settings, playgrounds, etc. We trust her completely and knew that our daughter was always her full attention and #1 priority. Lastly, Helena is supportive – not only of my daughter and her development but also of ensuring our family had balance. My husband traveled a lot, and I was often juggling a full-time job with learning how to parent and adjust to new toddler milestones. Helena helped me find balance, helped me navigate new toddler territory, and was supportive of and available to stay late if we could find time for a rare date-night or meet up with friends. Even now, as we transition into this next phase – it has been Helena who is the rock, supporting us emotionally thru this change and helping us navigate. We love Helena and we are committed to helping her find the right family to be a part of. She has experience with twins, singletons, and children of all ages.

It is my pleasure to enthusiastically recommend Gwen for a caregiver position. We were fortunate to find Gwen through a referral 18 years ago when my eldest daughter was born. From day one Gwen promised to care for my daughter as if she was her own, and she has absolutely followed through on her commitment. She is a professional with a strong moral character and work ethic. She takes her responsibilities seriously, is completely reliable while showing my girls consistent love and attention daily. Gwen has always been willing to go above and beyond with a smile. When my eldest daughter was an infant, Gwen took every opportunity to ensure that she followed the schedule we agreed to. Gwen would arrange play dates, take her for walks and talk to her all day. She made sure that my daughter's laundry was clean, her room and toys were neatly organized, and that she was fed with homemade baby food. Gwen knew how hard it was for me to leave my daughter to go to the office each day. In the evening she would run the bath and lay out my daughter's pjs so that I could have the opportunity to bathe her at night when I got home at night. Gwen understood that routines matter and we all benefitted from her wisdom. Gwen’s attention to detail continued when my second daughter was born two years later. Gwen masterfully took on the responsibility of another baby with ease due to her excellent organizational skills. She was able to provide the same amazing care while juggling nap, meal, music and gym class schedules. Three years later we welcomed yet another daughter and Gwen excitedly welcomed her into the balancing act without additional support. Throughout it all Gwen was pleasant and positive each day. I know her job wasn’t easy; taking my daughter to pre-school and another to art class while maintaining the baby's nap schedule while ensuring that they had healthy meals and clean laundry was truly amazing! As the girls got older and were all in school full-time, Gwen continued her role in caring for the girls and taking them to after school activities, preparing their meals and doing their laundry. Over the years, numerous parents and teachers from pre-school through elementary school have proactively reached out to tell me how wonderful Gwen is with the girls. I would always agree and reflect on how fortunate we are. I know that Gwen’s influence is a big part of who the girls are today and I couldn’t be prouder of them. Fast forward to today and the time has come for my first born to head off to college and my youngest is now a teenager and becoming more self-sufficient. We are so sad that our time with Gwen is coming to a natural end. I can’t believe it’s been 18 years! We know that Gwen will always be a part of our lives. She has been a steady influence in the girls’ lives since birth. I know I could not have made it through these years without her. She is so much more than our caregiver and any family would be lucky to have Gwen on their team.

Janice has been our nanny and truly a part of our family for 3 years, caring for our two sons 3.5 and infant. She has over 30 years of experience caring for children and is truly a professional at it in every sense of the word. I have learned so much about raising children under her guidance – from transitioning from bottles to sippy cups to potty training to managing through my older son becoming a big brother. She has always been 3 steps ahead of me in anticipating what my children need, understanding them and caring for them as though they are on her own. And the best part about her is that she does it with grace and gentle guidance and never makes me feel like she’s telling me what to do. A few things to highlight that stand out to me about what she has done for us: 1. Teaching my children manners – my son says please, thank you, cleans up after himself thanks to her proactive and continued discipline during the day while we are at work 2. Patiently showing him what it means to be independent -washing his hands, going potty, putting his dishes in the sink. 3. Having fun with him. The games, the jokes the laughs, my son is so happy just being with her at the park, playground museum or really wherever they go. 4. Giving us peace of mind. Through every stage I have never once doubted that my children are in the best care with Janice in our home. We are relocating out of the city and Janice lives 2 hours away so we are parting ways with her only because of the geographic circumstances. I cannot say enough about what she has done for us and would highly recommend her to any family. If you have questions/want to learn more, please contact me, or Janice (and she also has at least 3 other amazing reference families that can speak to her time with them).

Brenda We’ve relocated from our Brooklyn apartment to our vacation home during the pandemic, and given that we expect to work remotely for the next 6-12 months, we’re helping our warm, trustworthy, professional nanny find a new family. Brenda became a beloved presence in our lives when she started caring for our 2 1/2 year old and 2 week old daughters she immediately became a part of the family her love, confidence honesty and understanding won us over. Our friends and neighbors who ran into Brenda regularly stopped us to share how wonderful she was with our daughters. She is authentic, kind, friendly and fun, and we knew that our daughters were happy, safe and secure in her care. Brenda is a natural with children, respectful of parents’ preferences and wishes, and adapted with ease to our style of caregiving. She also gently offered insight and opinions from her professional experience and worked along with us. Our daughters love Brenda, who effortlessly juggled meals, laundry, classes, playdates, trips to the park and visits from grandparents, while still somehow managing to put our daughters down for their nap on time and keep the apartment tidy. Brenda was constantly singing songs, reading books and teaching our daughters colors, letters, numbers and manners. I returned to work with a peace of mind, knowing that our girls were well taken care of. Brenda is extraordinarily reliable. She was never late or missed a day of work, and when she requested a day off - which was rare - she always gave more than a month notice. She’s extremely flexible with her schedule and able to accommodate us. Pre-Covid, Brenda was meticulous about safety, hand washing and germ prevention. She’s FirstAid and CPR certified and gets her flu shot each year. As Covid emerged, she took every measure to mitigate risk and stay safe while traveling between our homes. Brenda is a true professional who takes great pride in her work, not only did Brenda forge a beautiful bond with our daughters, but she also established a loving friendship with other families who lived nearby, which is a testament to Brenda’s genuine kindness. We still video chat with Brenda, she stays in touch with all of the families and children she’s worked with over the years. With some good fortune, maybe your family will be next!

We have been blessed these past two years with the most wonderful nanny, Savita. She came to us when our son Zach was only three months old. We thought she would be with us for many more years, but due to COVID our family is relocating outside of NYC. We consider Savita to be a part of our family, and it is important to us that we help her find a kind, welcoming new family to care for. Each morning, Savita would greet us with the biggest smile, ready and excited to start the day. Our son Zach would giggle with joy when he saw her arrive in the morning, and reached for her at the end of the day. In fact, the first time our son crawled across a room was when he went to say goodbye to Savita. Savita would fill our son’s days with activities that made him smile and helped him develop into the talkative, musical, and friendly 2-year-old he is today. Seeing how happy our son was when he was with Savita made our daily lives so much easier and more enjoyable. On multiple occasions, residents and staff in our building would stop to tell us how wonderful our nanny Savita was with our son. Whether they shared an elevator with her, or witnessed her taking care of Zach in the lobby, everyone could feel her kind and loving nature. Savita is a remarkably skilled, trustworthy, and professional nanny with over 20 years experience caring for children ages newborn to school-age. She brings with her “super-nanny” capabilities like getting a newborn to nap, a picky toddler to eat, and new parents comfortable caring for their child. She took the time and patience needed to get to know our son, and developed a way with him that was truly special. She also always made us feel included and connected to our son’s day by sending pictures and providing us with a full overview of what Zach did, ate, and how he felt throughout the day. Savita is available for a full-time nanny position, ideally for a family with a new baby.

Ginna has over twelve years’ experience with newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, up to teenagers. Ginna gave me so much confidence as a first-time mom when I was ready to go back to work. I was so nervous about leaving my son behind, but she helped make the transition so much easier because of her experience and the fact that she is a mother as well. She never made me feel that I was overbearing, and no request was too much for her to fulfill e.g. bringing him to my workplace for me to see him or sending tons of pictures throughout the day. She is very warm, loving, understanding, and very empathetic, she helped us in every way possible with our son. She always found new things to teach him and kept his brain stimulated which is especially important to her. She was always keeping him busy whether it was at the playground or on a playdate. She taught us how to help him play independently and trust me it helped when she was not around. I know the times are different now with this pandemic but Ginna always took the very best care of our son and always put his safety first and I know she will do the same for any family; she will go above and beyond. She will help make remote learning easier for your family and maintain all necessary protocols to keep your family safe. If your family is looking for someone who drives, she has been driving for more than seven years and has a clean driving record. Your family would be incredibly pleased with her because she will make everything easier for you.

AMAZING FULL TIME NANNY FOR HIRE – AVAILABLE NOW **Bonus - Great with twins!** Live Out or open to Live In (Monday-Friday) We have recently moved to the NJ suburbs and had to unfortunately let our nanny Bridgette of 6.5yrs go (she does not drive, took the subway to us when we lived in NYC (2 yrs) and then the PATH to us when we moved to Jersey City (4.5yrs) and lived in with us Monday-Friday, as we now need someone who can drive our kids to and from school and activities. She is open to both live out or live in (Monday – Friday only) in NYC or Brooklyn. She currently lives in Brooklyn and is extremely COVID conscious. She is looking for a family with a baby or young toddler as she really shines with babies / toddlers and when she can grow with a family. I am hoping by reaching out to be able to find her a new family that will love her as much as we do. We are sad to see her go and will really miss her! She started with us when our son was 3 months old and we couldn’t have survived without her when our twin daughters came along 2 years later – she worked full time lovingly taking care of 3 under 3, which was no small feat. She is extremely organized and clean and I was amazed at how she was able to lovingly care for 3 young children. She is excellent when it comes to baby care, helping us navigate the new baby phase when our son was born. She was quick to offer suggestions when asked, but also followed our lead when it came to how we wanted certain things done. She was responsible for all things baby – laundry and meal prep included. She cooked / pureed all of our children’s baby food and continued to cook for them through the years. When our children were young, she took them to music and gym classes. She also enjoyed taking them to the park near us, where they played with other children and she became friends with some of the other nannies. As they grew older, she was responsible for school drop off / pick up which was walkable from our home. All 3 were in school this past year prior to COVID and she helped establish a morning routine and got all 3 fed, dressed, teeth brushed and out the door in a calm and organized manner. She always has a positive attitude and is a calming presence to have around our home. After interviewing various nannies back in the day, we were drawn to her because of her previous references to how she was firm, but gentle and loving. With both my husband and I working full time, we knew we wanted someone who not only would meet our child (and future children's) needs, but someone who could teach them manners and respect - not by yelling, but instead by gentle reminders and leading by example. From infancy to toddler to now young children, she has helped us raise respectful, loving children who have learned how to help care for themselves and their home. She is fiercely loyal and protective of “her children” as she says. Our kids love her dearly and she will be missed by us all! Prior to working with us, she had worked for a family for ~3 years who then moved to the suburbs and before that she worked for the same family for 9 years. I am happy to provide a more detailed reference or answer any questions or if you’d like to contact her directly, please reach out. She also has additional excellent references upon request!

Lourdes began working for us almost 10 years ago when our youngest child was six months old and continued with us as our family grew with the births of our second and third children. Although we would love her to stay with us until our kids leave for college(!), we no longer need full time childcare with our youngest starting kindergarten this year. We feel incredibly lucky that our kids had Lourdes in their lives for their early childhood years. Lourdes has all of the qualities we most value in a caregiver. She is loving and patient with our children, has excellent judgment, and brings energy and professionalism to her job every single day. Through the years she spent with our family, Lourdes kept our kids safe, healthy, and happy. She balanced the demands of three kids of different ages and still found time to keep the kids' toys and drawers perfectly organized. But what truly set her apart was the engagement and enrichment she provided our kids—whether teaching, reading, or planning adventures—that helped bring out the best in each of them. As parents, we could not have asked for a better partner, and we loved the reassurance of knowing, at all times, that they were in such good hands. Beyond that, Lourdes is a gem of a person, whose warmth and positivity are a blessing to anyone who interacts with her. Lourdes is looking for a full time position with a family in Manhattan who has a new baby (age newborn to 9 months) and can start this month.

It is my pleasure to recommend our loving nanny. Maria started with us 3 years ago when our son was 3 months old, and quickly became a part of our family. Maria has 12 years of experience as a nanny. She is warm, always calm, respectful, fun, and energetic. She actively plays and interacts with our son. We always received amazing feedback on how involved and caring she is from instructors (our son attended various classes) as well as from other parents. She is fluent in both English and Spanish and is happy to speak either to baby based on your preferences. She communicates very well with parents. She is good at maintaining a calm environment and keeping our son entertained in a NYC apt with parents working from home. She enjoys taking our son outside daily, arranges meetups with his friends, and is always careful and aware of her surroundings. She keeps everything exceptionally clean and is also happy to change clothes after subway rides (something she did even before our current state) She cooks for our son and pays close attention to any dietary restrictions and is great at getting him to eat. She keeps the kitchen spotless, does his laundry, and organizes his clothes and toys. I will never forget my son’s laughter during his nightly tubby time with Maria, she makes everything fun. She has cared for our son as if he were her own and we are so thankful for that. We would love for Maria to be our nanny forever, but we are leaving NY. We would like to find her an amazing family. She is available starting in October and can be reached at 347-209-8629. She would prefer to work with newborns. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 917-312-4150.

It is with the deepest sadness that I am posting on behalf of our dear Benitha. We made the decision recently to move the suburbs and losing Benitha will be the hardest part of leaving the city. Benitha joined our family 3 years ago when my oldest son was 3 months old. A former UES mom from this group posted on her behalf when we were first looking for a nanny and when I spoke to her on the phone as a reference what stuck out to me the most is how she described Benitha as a close family member. Now reflecting back she has become even more than that to us. She was wonderful with my son as a newborn and helped my husband and I navigate as first time parents. She is always so calm and as a first time mom when I would get worried about anything (or everything) she would always talk me down. She set up play dates, took him to classes, read to him, sang to him and most importantly laughed with him. My son was an early crawler, walker and talker and I credit all of that to Benitha. When my second son was born earlier this summer she again was so helpful. I had 6 months maternity leave so we spent so much time together and became even closer friends. Adding a second baby to the household adds a lot of new dimensions and I would not have been able to do it all without her. Benitha goes above and beyond. There were numerous occasions when on a Monday morning she would walk in with a gift for my son whether it be a little toy truck or a new set of silverware because she noticed we needed more. She even made us personalized gifts from my sons for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and even Valentine’s Day. Every night when we would walk in the house from work both kids would be fed, bathed and in their jammies with bottles already made and the house would be spotless. I could keep going on and on but for sake of everyone in this group will stop here. I told Benitha that finding her the new perfect family will be my personal mission so please PM if you’d like additional information.

In addition to being excellent at childcare, she is also very willing to help around the house - cleaning, cooking, tidying. Since my sons have grown up, she has stopped working full-time for us and has taken on various other childcare roles, but she comes to visit us regularly and sometimes cleans for us. Having tried out many other nannies before we eventually found Fernanda, I can guarantee that she is a true find - solid gold.

Zorina was respectful of our requests, in relation to keeping of the home, food choices, interaction with other kids, and adults, and has helped our son grow into the person he now is.

I want to recommend Shellie, our exceptionally wonderful nanny, to anyone looking to hire a nanny for their children. Shellie has cared for my son since he was 8 months old. He will turn 5 this November, and I am sad to have made this transition as we no longer require a full-time nanny. My husband and I conducted rigorous due-diligence on many applicants before we hired Shellie 4 years ago, and I still cannot believe how lucky we have been to have chosen Shellie. Shellie has been a nanny for over 20 years with wonderful youthful energy. A gem of a person, she is kind, patient, warm, and steady. When my son was a baby, Shellie built an atmosphere of calm, warmth, and security for him (and a wonderful sense of security for us!). As he grew, they formed a deep bond of mutual love and respect. On the playground and playdates, other kids instinctively trust Shellie and want to spend time with her. Shellie shared her love of the outdoors and nature with him, and regularly took him to the park, and in pre-pandemic days to the library, to music, and other classes and arranged playdates. She prepares healthy meals and snacks that Sebu loves. She has worked in Park Slope for many years and is incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood, as well as with Brooklyn Heights and BoCoCa. Over the years, we've received so many wonderful comments about her, from neighbors and teachers who saw her with our son every day and shared with us how unique Shellie’s level of care, focus, and dedication is, where so many caretakers they encounter seem constantly distracted. Shellie has strong values and is a true professional. She is always on time, rarely out sick. Her dependability, loyalty, and dedication have been a predictable constant over these years, enabling our busy household to run smoothly. Especially during this current pandemic, I have especially appreciated how conscientious and careful Shellie is, taking every precaution herself and for our son and our family. Shellie has had long friendships with the families she's worked with and has always stayed in touch with the families and children she has cared for as they have grown up. She is CPR certified, came to us with strong recommendations from multiple families she had worked with in her long resume. I give Shellie my highest recommendation. Please call or email me with any questions; I would be more than happy to share our experiences with Shellie.

Yvonne has been a nanny for >30 years in Manhattan and she is truly gifted with babies, toddlers and kids. She is calm, intelligent, patient, joyful and loving and a wonderful presence around the house. She is looking for a new job because we moved to California and she did not want to relocate with us! She has worked for families long-term, raising kids from newborns to high school and was described by a previous employer as "perfection". My husband and I couldn't agree more. She is skilled at every developmental step along a children's life, and is proactive, teaching kids and becoming invested in their development. She is amazing at running a household as well -- and can really manage everything from drug store runs to food shopping to playdates and homework. She is great at utilizing NYC well (the parks and playgrounds) and she teaches kids how to play by themselves (a wonderful gift for them) but also socializes them from the beginning. She is wise, whip-smart and raises smart, intelligent, strong and secure kids -- my husband and I have met the children from her "previous" families and know she was pivotal in their development. She was pivotal in our kids development as well before we left, and she is so committed to the family she works for. For instance, my husband and I are both physicians and during the early covid-days, she continued to come in as we had no other options. She even stayed with our children when we essentially had to quarantine at another apartment. She is amazing! There is so much more I could say!!

She provides an excellent level of care which is so refreshing, I never have to worry about my child’s safety. To me, a nanny has the most important job and I cannot say enough good things about her. Now with Covid, she has risen to the occasion and has stepped in to help with remote learning- learning the complicated virtual system and also ensuring all work is compete so my husband and I can get our work done. Knowing I can rely on her and have her work with us is exactly what I wanted when we were searching for a caregiver.

Parent Reference

Irina has been a wonderful nanny for our toddler twins, and we would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, reliable and multi-lingual (English and Russian) nanny in NYC. Irina has been working with our family for over a year and has been an important part of our childrens’ lives, nearly from birth to 18 months. She has juggled caring for the twins with preparing all of their meals, laundry, and light cleaning. She has cared for the development of the kids - reading books, playing music (she attended college for classical music in Russia), playing games, bringing them to classes and the library, and bringing them to the park. I come from a Russian background, and it was important for us that our children were exposed to the Russian language. Irina predominantly communicated with the kids in Russian, but was equally able to read to the children and communicate with my husband (non-Russian speaker) in English. She was also great about giving the grandparents updates with texts and photos. She showed up every day, without fail, on time, and was willing to stay late when we needed her to (she lives in Manhattan, which helped with a shorter commute). She also helped out occasionally on the weekends when we needed additional help. We also have a small dog that Irina loved and was great with - taking him on walks with the kids and making sure he was fed. Irina has been working as a nanny in the US for 20 years, and her experience was really valuable to 2 first-time parents. We’ve moved out of the city, so we sadly need to find new childcare. We hope Irina can help your family as she has helped ours!

Phen has helped raise our daughter since she was 4 months old, and has been just amazing at every step along the way - feeding, naps, and working with our daughter on development of all of her skills. She exceeded our expectations in every single way, going above and beyond her duties. A warm and calming presence for all of us, Phen has been so attentive to our daughter, always talking and interacting with her, engaging her interests, doing projects, reading stories and our daughter just adores her. She is fun and energetic and has taken our daughter on many excursions in addition to regular trips to the playground. Through the years, many other parents have remarked to me about how wonderful, unique and top notch she is and we have been so very fortunate to have had her help. Phen is now looking for a new position with a family in NYC. We are so sad to say goodbye to her, and hope she can find another family to help as much as she helped us.

She ensured the kids were engaged in creative activities outside of the home, kept to a schedule, was always flexible with coming early/staying late, and is a trained professional chef! We have stayed in close touch since we moved out of the city and truly consider each other family. Lynda is a wonderful person and nanny and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Parent Reference

Icilma worked with us for 13 months but unfortunately we could not keep her longer due to personal family adjustments after the pandemic; we would have loved to have kept her forever if we could, and still I feel 100% comfortable calling her for occasional babysitting, as our son simply adores her! Icilma cared for our son from when he was 13 months until 27 months and in the short 14 months we all fell in love with her, especially our toddler, who would run to her every morning as soon and she came in. We never for a second doubted that he was in the best hands whenever he was with her, including when she went on family vacation with us. Although she seemed quiet at first, she soon came out of her shell and became a very active member of our family. She is very familiar with Harlem and kept him busy by taking him to the park, the library, the local JCC, assisting with play dates and she was creative with indoor activities also (they often read books, sang songs, went over his numbers — Icilma actually played an integral role with our son’s vocabulary, since she began working with us right when he started talking). She is super hands on and very proactive about helping around the house (she cooked frequently, did grocery runs for us, took care of laundry and cleaned the common areas, not to mention she was very aware and compliant with all COVID-19 health safety measures. I can go on and on about how valuable Icilma was to our lives, she didn’t just watch our son, I can confidently say that she was helping raise him to be a good human being and that’s simply priceless.

Words do not do justice for how much our nanny, Chanie, has meant to us. We had the pleasure of having Chanie work for us full time for over two years, caring for our daughter since she was an infant. Chanie is kind, caring, gentle, and holds a loving and motherly disposition. She shared a special bond with my daughter that was so sweet - I often overheard her singing to her while I was getting ready in the morning or the noise of joy and laughter through the door when I came home from work. She was constantly coming up with creative songs, games, and activities for them to play together as well as daily reading. We have never once seen her not fully engaged and focused on our daughter’s well-being. In many ways, Chanie helped us to become stronger parents, giving helpful guidance without pushing and always taking our lead on decisions. Chanie is extremely safe and careful with children. She was able to actively keep up with my busy daughter on the playground while helping for her to make friends with other young children. She helped me as a working Mom by meeting me at various doctors appointments as needed for my daughter throughout the city. At a young age by daughter needed to have physical therapy, and Chanie was able to take her several times per week to the appointments and meet with the therapists. I trusted her to do this and the doctors there all had wonderful things to say to me about Chanie. Chanie is extremely responsible and dependable – she was never late in the 2 years she worked for us. She is neat, tidy and professional. Chanie is also an excellent cook and was dedicated to preparing nutritious meals for our daughter (who is quite a picky eater!). We feel forever grateful that she was able to help our family during this point in our lives as we raised our first baby. If we were able to bring Chanie with us when we moved to the suburbs, we would have happily done so!

Parent Reference

This is long, but worth the read if youre in need of an incredible and kind nanny who can handle three kids!!! Like so many others, we are moving to the suburbs and our nanny, Dian, of three and a half years is now available. Dian is English-speaking, a mother herself, proactive, energetic and most importantly, kind. She loves my children the way I want them to be loved while my husband and I are not home. I have three children: aged nearly 4.5, 17 months and 2 months old. She has no issues watching multiple children at once, watching children close in age and is skilled at taking care of an infant! She started with us when my oldest was 1. Here are some things about Dian (and it was hard to choose because I can talk about her for hours!): 1. She currently works for us 8-5 PM Monday through Thursday and 9-3 on Fridays. But she is always happy to do more hours or shift her schedule depending on our needs. 2. Dian is NEVER late and ALWAYS early. My husband and I always joke at 7:55 AM that if Dian isn't there, something must have happened because she is the most responsible person in terms of showing up on time (and the joke is always on us in the end because the latest she is ever in our apartment is 7:56) 3. Dian is flexible. She has showed up at 7 AM if I've needed her to, stayed until 10 PM if necessary. Dian has come to my sisters wedding to watch my children, always showed up for my sons birthday parties and she has even dropped everything on a Saturday night when my grandfather passed away to come over. 4. Dian keeps our household clean and organized. She does laundry for the whole family, cleans the kitchen, takes out garbage, makes beds, sweeps and vacuums the floors etc. Dian helps me with cooking and whatever errands we may need. She wants us to feel relaxed when we are home and not have things added to our to-do lists. 5. Dian keeps my childrens well-being at the forefront of every action she takes. She constantly organizes playdates, recommends classes for them to attend (pre covid), makes sure they are all clean and well-fed. She is wonderful at following a bottle feeding schedule and meticulous in taking notes regarding how much was eaten, how long it took, was there spit up after etc. Dian makes sure to learn about my children's interests and recommends or buys toys that fit those interests so they can have more things to bond and connect over. 6. Dian remembers all birthdays, anniversaries and other important events in our lives and has the kids make cards or buys flowers from them for us. 7. Dian has taken two sick days in three and a half years. She schedules all doctor appointments for weekends so she doesn't miss work. And, if that isn't possible, she asks you what day an appointment might work for your schedule and she'll make it for then8. Dian is COVID conscious and takes the same precautions as my family. She wears a mask always, shoes outside the door, constantly cleaning her hands (and my childrens) and she changes her clothes when she arrives at our apartment (she leaves the clothing at us so she doesnt bring it back and forth and be exposed to germs that way). Her son is in 4th grade at a public school and he is signed up for remote schooling for the year so he would not be exposed to additional germs. She (and her son) are up to date on all vaccinations and take sickness very seriously. Dian can also manage/help others with remote learning as she is familiar with that from her own son! 9. Because my children range in age, she is up to date on all things potty training, bottle feeding, finger food eating, crawling, walking etc. She is wonderful at offering advice and guidance without making you feel less than. She is looking for fulltime work (40-50 hours). UWS or UES ideally as she comes from the Bronx. Ultimately, it comes down to this: Dian doesn't treat this just like a job. She knows she is a role model for my children and portrays the values and traits I want them to have. Dian goes above and beyond in every situation, thinking of others before herself. We are lucky to have her as part of our family. It truly is my honor to give her a recommendation for another family. Feel free to dm me!!

Our former nanny Naomi Clarke was with us and another family doing a nanny share since January 2020. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic our nanny share was dissolved so we would love to see Naomi placed with another great family. She has been a nanny for over 20 years and is a true professional of what she does. Our son was 3 months old at the start of the nanny share and the other baby was 6 months. Her care for the two kids included extensive play time activities, bottle and solids feedings, daily walks, nap time routines, and light cleaning. She loves playing with babies, singing, reading and making them smile. She is attentive, always on time if not early, and takes direction well but is very much self-guided if needed. Also, her respect for cleanliness is very notable when working with her- always leaving the place cleaner than it was before. Naomi has a flexible yet structured personality that would make a great mix for any family looking for care for their kids. Given her extensive history of working in the industry, she is a wealth of information across various topics of childcare. On her own time, she even takes classes on various topics of childcare to keep herself sharp when it comes to taking care of kids. In light of what's happening around us with the pandemic, Naomi understands and has been practicing how to be safe (wearing of mask and gloves when appropriate), following the social distance guidelines, and changing of clothes when she arrives on the job. I would highly recommend Naomi to any family who is looking for a great professional nanny. Any assistance rendered to her would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to reach out to her directly at 347-339-9625. Thanks Brandon Lee

Dear fellow parent: Lorna Simon was our nanny for over seven years. We first met Lorna in 2012, when our daughter (now seven) was 1 month old. Lorna first spent weekends with us, and by the time Juliet was 2 months old, she had accepted a position as full-time nanny. In 2015, our son, Miles was born, and Lorna couldn’t have been more excited for the new baby. We have moved out of NYC to Greenwich CT, and although we begged Lorna to join us, she wanted to remain live-out. We will miss her dearly. Lorna has the finest character; she is loving, kind, generous with her time, and a truly good person. She is incredibly knowledgeable about babies, and during the early months for both Juliet and Miles she helped us carefully track diaries of when they had dirty diapers, and feeding schedules. When we first met Lorna I was in the incredibly lucky position of having her recommended to me by my own childhood nanny, and so from day 1 I never had any doubts about her reliability or kindness when leaving my children with her. But while that “family” connection was meaningful, it was also unnecessary, as the way that Lorna looked after our children was exceptional, and my husband I trusted her implicitly. As our kids got older, Lorna was always ready to play board games with them, or oversee art projects. She’s also very social, and our children’s social life was 20% my setting up playdates, and 80% Lorna befriending other nannies — and moms. Lorna was always willing to take Juliet or Miles to a park or someone’s home, or host at ours, as the case might have been. She was always wonderful in making sure that if there was an opportunity for a playdate or for extra time with other children in the park, our kids were part of the fun. Lorna is also an amazing cook, and the children had great, healthful meals every day. While the children were young, Lorna had always lightly tidied the house and been responsible for their rooms and cleaning, but in her usually low-key style, she was open to adapting as needs shifted. In the recent years, as school schedules lengthened, Lorna has been very flexible in terms of taking on housekeeping work for us, so that we could extend her tenure with our family. Lorna is also incredibly responsible and professional. In nearly 8 years, I don’t believe she missed one day of work. Lorna truly delights in babies and little children. Any family she works with will be lucky to have such a kind, loving, trustworthy person as part of their home. I’m available to speak, should you like that. I may be reached at 917.378.2817 or at [email protected] Warm wishes, Jennie Ripps

Elsa Wattley is the BEST caregiver you will ever find for your children! Elsa (who goes by Cutie, her Caribbean name) worked with my family for six wonderful years.

Cutie is a kind, gentle soul who will love your children and care for them in such a way that you will never ever have to give a second thought to their safety or well-being. You will also never have to worry that they will be idle or ignored. Cutie gets on the floor and plays games, takes the kids on outings, teaches the alphabet and counting and reads books constantly. She teaches impeccable manners and respect for others as well as responsibility for oneself - the very values she lives by. Cutie is highly professional, reliable and easy to work with. She has an outstanding work ethic, never late or absent, and takes her job very seriously. More importantly, she is an excellent role mode --. a good person through and through. She treated my children from day one as if they were her own. She showed them, and us, love, respect and kindness at all times. Our work relationship came to an end when my family moved and had new and different needs. We remain in close touch, and she continues to have a relationship with my children. I give Cutie my absolute highest recommendation. If you are lucky enough to get her, don't let her go! Please feel free to contact me with any questions at [email protected] or 914-813-1430.

Sharon spent 12 years with my family, she is someone who I trusted without question with my 2 girls from newborn through to middle school. Here are a few things that we love most about Sharon: - She is completely trustworthy with impeccable references dating back 20+ years. She has experience with newborns, toddlers, grade school, and teens - She stayed on top of all developmental milestones and engaged with our daughters in age-appropriate ways - Introduced our daughter to solids with delicious home-cooked meals, setting the foundation for her becoming a great eater. As the girls grew she provided them independence and modeled appropriate social skills. While the girls we young and I was away for work, Sharon was my partner…literally. She handled everything in a calm matter, getting her them the attention she needed while keeping me informed and calm. Sharon takes the initiative to set up playdates, find classes, and the girls out and about as much as possible - Our apartment was always clean and organized, the laundry is done and meals are cooked for the girls. Not that my girls are both in middle school, I am working from home, and we've gotten to that stage we've made the difficult decision not to have a nanny, I cried as I communicated this to Sharon. Honestly, the hardest thing was separating from someone my girls truly love and rely on. They still communicate with her via text, which I am very grateful for. In the world of Covid I would absolutely trust Sharon to be part of my family and to guide the girls through this truly challenging time. Above all Sharon was her for us and my girls in a way words cannot describe.

She is very trustworthy and was recommended to me by a mutual friend. She makes it her duty to read up on early childhood development so that she can better serve my kids. she has never raised her voice at them and they treat her like an aunt. she will be an asset to any family she works with.

Euline (Peterson) is a wonderful nanny! In her 9+ years working with us, Euline has proven to be among the most responsible people I’ve encountered in my personal or professional life. She perpetually shows up early to work, is always prepared, and has an extremely strong work ethic. Euline is diligent, hardworking, and always wants to do the right thing for the children, who absolutely adore her. She is firm when needed, and always caring. Our children’s exquisite manners are largely due to Euline, as are their sunny personalities. Euline began caring for our daughter when she was 6 weeks old, and we found out quickly that Euline is amazing with babies! Euline has developed into my daughter’s closest confidant outside of our family. She has helped care for our daughter through age 9, and now our son through age 5, who truly has a special relationship with her. As they are both fully in elementary school this year and have recently started in-person schooling, we no longer have a need for a full-time nanny. When the kids are engaged with each other or activities, Euline is adept at keeping the apartment more than tidy - she definitely has a knack for organizing! She keeps the kids well fed and on time for all activities. I can’t recommend Euline highly enough for any family in NYC looking for a full-time nanny, in particular those with babies and / or small children. If you would like to speak to me directly I’d be more than happy to share more about our experience with Euline. I can be reached at [email protected], or 917-589-4076 (no voicemail).

Attention Moms & Dads: Looking for a loyal, hardworking, caring, fun, communicative, live out nanny? Edna has been a true partner to me and my husband—both full time global executives—since we arrived in NYC from Hong Kong 6 years ago. She cared for my daughter from 6 months to nearly 6 years and my son from birth to nearly 4 years. Our jobs are taking us to London and despite us both not wanting to say goodbye, Edna’s home is NYC and so we are helping her find her next family. (For the record we asked her to move with us!) I was a new working mom when I met Edna and she not only made me feel calm and secure going back to work but was always looking out for my children. She was NEVER late once in 6 years (unless the train was delayed and then she’d always call), every time she took holiday or had time off she always found us a back up nanny and we have become friends with some of our closest friends through her friendships with other nannies. We have trusted her implicitly throughout the infant, toddler and now little-kid stages and she has really become part of our family. She was such a great partner - would happily follow our lead on certain things and take initiative on others and I was always clear that I wanted her opinion and point of view and as a result we had very open conversations. My kids were always well looked after, clean as whistles and learned great hygiene and sun care from Edna. She arranged countless play dates with both kids (my daughter is shy and my son is the mayor) so juggling both is always a task. In addition we always came home to a spotless home, the kids stuff was put away and light housekeeping always done. Edna also had a great way to balance the day - letting the kids rest or play quietly in the afternoon. Edna really is a true professional nanny with more than 20+ years of experience. She still keeps in touch with the families and children she looked after before and has worked in NYC and Hong Kong. If you are looking for a true nanny for your children who will focus on their wellbeing with you so you can take care of work or other responsibilities (as opposed to a nanny + housekeeper + cook) then she’s the one! I stopped counting the times that random parents would find me at school drop off to say how caring she was with our kids. As a new mom in the City, I am so thankful for the family that recommended her to us. She has had a lasting impact on our family and I’d be happy to speak on the phone to anyone who is looking for a partner in raising their little ones. Goes without saying that my kids adored her and saying goodbye has been really difficult! It is so important to use that she finds a loving family! I would be more than happy to speak with anyone interested and Edna is also available directly. Thanks! Sara

Parent Reference

We are leaving New York City with our children and our amazing nanny Gina is looking to transition to a new family. Gina has worked for our family since March 25, 2018 and raised our children from infancy into toddlerhood: she started when my son was 9 weeks old and was there the day my daughter was born. When you look for someone to help you raise your children, you obviously look for experience and a loving nature, but it is so important to find someone that can integrate seamlessly into your family. With Gina we found all of that- and more. I knew from the moment she held my son for the first time that she was exactly the kind of person we wanted in our kids’ lives: she had lifted him up so he could feel the leaves of a nearby tree and then threw her head back and laughed when he filled his diaper. She has an innate sense of what babies need, she understands the importance of tactile stimulation, is always speaking intently to them (in Spanish or English- whatever your preference!) and her positivity is contagious. Gina is punctual, organized and social- she makes an effort to seek out appropriate playmates for my kids and organize activities with other caregivers, or most recently with Covid, find virtual activities we can do. she is the so patient, loving and kind, my children absolutely adore her and go running into her arms when she arrives every morning. All we ever expected of Gina was to look after the children, but Gina always went above and beyond: making the kids delicious meals from scratch so that they would have all organic food (and would be exposed to new flavors). Researching new sleep techniques when we went through the dreaded infant sleep regressions, she would vacuum and clean their play area, do their laundry and would even help me out with my own laundry, tidying up around the house, grocery shopping, and general household management. Gina also was very committed to helping my kids reach certain milestones they gave signs that they were ready- my children walked at 10 months old and are so verbal- and I credit Gina with helping them reach that potential! She would always notice things that she thought may help them with this: special shoes for my son, or a particularly stimulating toy that she thought my daughter may like and would come home and tell me excitedly. Her attention to little details is not only helpful for a working mother, but was critical for us: only a few weeks after Gina started working for us she called me and said she noticed my son wasn’t using his arm the way he had been the day before (something I had not noticed or his father). She took a few videos and texted them to me- our pediatrician got the videos immediately and was able to get us in to see a neurologist right away. All ended happily thanks to Gina who noticed the most subtle change in the way he was grabbing at toys. When we left New York, Gina, without being asked, left her entire family to move to Philadelphia for 6 months with us, to help make the transition easier for us and the kids. I am often rendered speechless by her generosity. She loves my children as if they are her own, and when she speaks about the family she worked with before us, her voice warms with pride-she was with them for 10 years and those teenage boys still text and call her. If that isn’t a testament enough, I don’t know what is! My husband and I were inexperienced first-time parents when Gina came into our lives and in her, we found the most easy-going, compassionate, and kind partner in raising our kids. We are grateful for her every day and we could not ask for more.

During the time she nannied for us, my daughters were happy, well taken care of, and they adored Stacy. She took them to the playground, researched fun activities, played outside with them and made sure that they were clean, well fed and in good spirits when my husband and I finished work in the evenings. She was always on time, and often early, and very flexible, staying late or arriving early as needed. She is energetic and had no problem keeping up with my older daughter, and was nurturing and responsible with my younger daughter. She followed all COVID-19 safety protocols and would always ask before she took my daughters anywhere to make sure that I was comfortable with her choice of activity. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a caregiver.

I am posting in the hopes that I can help find a new family for our nanny Andrea. Anyone who knows our family knows Andrea, who came into our lives shortly after my oldest, who is now almost 9, was born. She has not only helped raise our two girls from the time they were infants but has become an integral part of our family. There is literally no one in the world I would trust more than Andrea in caring for our children. She is one of the hardest working and responsible people I have ever met. Without any family living nearby, Andrea quite literally became our “person.” She was on call when I went into labor with my second child; as our kids grew older, they would beg us to go away so that Andrea could come sleepover. On multiple occasions over the years, I have been stopped in school or the playground by other parents, teachers, or caregivers who have encountered Andrea to tell me how lucky we were to have her in our lives, and they are absolutely right; she’s been a blessing. In all the years she’s worked for us, she has shown up early for work each day and has never called in sick. She is full of energy and quite literally never stops moving. She is engaging and full of life, showering my kids with love and affection since they were infants. Equally important for us, she’s not afraid to set limits and instill discipline but always with the gentlest manner and patience. Even while caring for our children, Andrea kept our house impeccable. She assumed the responsibility of doing all of our laundry without me ever asking. She's helped us through multiple moves, packing, unpacking, organizing - she is constantly taking the initiative to help out around the house without me ever asking. Most importantly, Andrea LOVES children, especially newborn babies. She has forged an intensely close bond with my children, and while it pains me to lose her, I hope nothing more than to find her the right family.

I cannot count how many times we were told during her tenure we were "so lucky to have Paula," which we unanimously agree with. Multiple families asked if we would be willing to do nanny shares because their children would ask about Paula at home.

We hired Hazel as our nanny just recently when my daughter was 3 months old. It was immediately clear to me that Hazel was very dedicated to being the best nanny she could be, upon meeting our baby she was playing with her on the floor and singing songs with her. Hazel worked with us for only two and half weeks, our time was cut short since my husband and I unexpectedly decided to move to Pennsylvania due to the covid crisis to be with his family. Hazel actually traveled with us to Pennsylvania on short notice and stayed with us for a week as we adjusted to the move, showing really great flexibility. She is very logical in her decision making and very understanding as well, which was appreciated in the recent difficult decisions we had to make during the crisis period. Hazel was super willing to help out in any way, above and beyond nanny responsibilities, in the time she worked for us, such as with laundry and cooking! She also was very quick to provide suggestions on anything that she thought we may find helpful in parenting and raising a child since this was our first. We are sad not to be able to continue to work with Hazel since we are now living out of state, but we certainly recommend her to anyone else looking for a wonderful nanny. Additionally, to my knowledge she has been living in self quarantine to keep herself safe and to be a safe person to interact with another family and child.

Our wonderful nanny, Paulette, is an amazing lady who always stays positive and carries a warmth around her anywhere she goes. My doormen know her by name and like her, my son's school teachers speak highly of her. She has been taking care of my son for over three and a half years. He thinks of her as a third parent basically, and talks about her even when she’s not there. If too many days go by, he'll tell me he misses her and wants to play with her (they are always in the park playing catch or soccer!). She’s clean, proactive, and does things without you having to remind her (organizes drawers, stacks baby clothes in categories, fixes bed, folds laundry, etc). We wish we would employ her forever honestly, but we have no more kids and our son is now in school full time. She has always, ALWAYS, been trustworthy, everything I have asked her has been done to a ’t’. And she has been reliable- on time, never takes a sick day, always informs you where she’s going and what she’s doing, always sends updates/pictures, and is never on her phone (unless you call her direct). You will not find a more honest, decent, and caring human being. I have met a few of the parents and kids she has taken care of, and in fact she still babysits and visits them from time to time, including a few from the Upper East Side. I met her through another mom and am grateful that she has been in our life. She constantly gets invited to events by her former families and stays in touch. She does not have children of her own so the kids that she takes care of are ‘her kids’ that she likes to stay connected with, some of whom are now in high school!!! She is currently looking for a job. She’s seeking ft work (preferably) and has her own apartment, so it would be a live-out position. Anyone interested can feel free to contact me for more info. I could go on and on but safe to say this really is a 100% legitimate nanny with over 30 years experience (newborns through teenagers), a spotless track record, and REAL references.

Shalini is thoughtful, kind, trusting, always trying to do things to make your life easier. A wizard at organizing, your kids' closets will look like The Home Edit! She was always able to get my kids to nap and bed on time when I struggled for hours! Shalini will love your kids and always think about their needs, from coordinating and seeking out playdates that would be a good match, to make sure their snacks and foods are in the house. Shalini is always happy to go on excursions, uptown to museums, or exploring the parks via the ferry in Brooklyn; she will make sure your kids are not sitting in front of the TV all afternoon for sure! Shalini will never miss a reason to spoil your kids; no birthday or holiday is not thought about. An opportunity to bring a smile to your kids' faces are priceless; those special gestures are just a few of what makes her so special. I know how lucky we were to find someone who will love your kids, watch over, protect them, and always be there. Her next family will be very, very lucky! Please reach out so I can share more.

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Titoya ("Toya") Savery as a nanny. Toya was our nanny for my family from August 2019 until very recently when we had to end our arrangement because of changes in our employment due to the pandemic. We moved to NYC last year, and found Toya after a frantic search for childcare. Toya was with us five days a week, from 7:45 am-5:45 pm. She helped care for both of our children, ages four and six. Toya often did drop-off/pick-up for my daughter with public school, and then, spent full days caring for and planning activities for our son (who had not yet started school). Toya also helped with breakfast and lunches for our son, and laundry for both kids. In the midst of a stressful move, adjustment to New York and then, the rise of the pandemic, Toya has always been reliable, kind and great with children. Within no time, Toya was competently juggling the needs of my two kids. Toya is very reliable and trustworthy. I never worried about the safety of my children when they were together; and, it was really wonderful to work with someone who is so experienced and caring. Moreover, she handled everything we asked of her--including taking my son to museums, karate classes and the park. And she did everything with grace and humor, and managed to have my house looking cleaner when I returned to work than when I had left. But for the fact that my employment has been affected by the recent pandemic, we would have kept Toya full-time nanny for our family. She is a kind person and a great nanny. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to talk more about our experiences with her.

Parent Reference

We simply cannot say enough about Docia, our former nanny, and what she has meant to our children and our entire family. In the five years that she worked with us, Docia, truly became a part of our family. Our children, now ages 11 and 7, grew up in her care. She cared for them full-time daily, occasionally baby-sat in the evenings, and even stayed overnight with them while we have both been out of town. This is evidence of our deep trust in Docia. She truly treats them as if they were her own and shares such a special bond with each of them individually. Docia has done so much more than merely supervise our children. She began watching our children when our second, Alex was born. In addition to the child care she provided, Docia prepares all of our children’s meals. She also helps with laundry and cleaning tasks, which has been a huge help. Among her strengths are her punctuality and efficiency. We simply cannot understand how she gets so many things done in such a short time. She is also very caring, always remembering important-- and even not-so-important-- dates in the lives of our children and bringing them gifts and treats. Of Docia’s strengths—and there are many—her greatest is her patience. She devotes her full attention to each child and gives each what he or she individually needs. While we could speak volumes about Docia from both a personal and professional level, I’ll let my kids do the talking instead. When asked who their best friends are, their answer always includes "Docia" at the top of their list. We were very sad to lose Docia as our nanny two years ago, however once our kids became school age we did not require a full time caregiver any longer. since that time, Docia has continued to babysit for our kids in the evening and has remained very much a part of our lives. We highly recommend Docia and know that children fortunate enough to have her care for them would love her

It is my pleasure to recommend Jenny as a nanny. We met Jenny through a fellow Upper West Side family. She joined us when our daughter was four months old and became part of our family almost immediately. In addition to having more than 20 years of experience, Jenny is also very kind, gentle, and loving. Although she commuted more than an hour each way, Jenny was always on time in the morning and often offered to stay late if need be. Jenny was always on the move and made sure our daughter explored something new and exciting every day. The two of them always planned play dates, classes, or other activities to keep busy and social. During her time with us, Jenny communicated well and often. She respected our parenting style, while confidently and independently making day-to-day decisions. Jenny made sure that our daughter was always learning, laughing, and growing. We were so fortunate to have Jenny in our home. Her time with our daughter will have a lasting impact. Any family would be lucky to have Jenny as their nanny.

RE: Natesia Bacchus To Whom It May Concern: This letter is to provide highest praise and warmest recommendation for Natesia Bacchus who we had the extremely good fortune of having as nanny to our sons, Rhodes (8) and Ronan (3), from July, 2012 to March, 2020. Covid-19-related job loss has required us to put Natesia on notice. It has been a heavy loss for our family. Natesia came to us highly recommended by a former co-worker of Jeanne’s for whom Natesia had worked for 10+ years as nanny to the co-worker’s son and daughter, ages 8 and 10. Jeanne’s co-worker told her that in the years that Natesia worked for them, she had never taken a sick day and almost never late. Indeed, in the almost 8 years that Natesia has worked for us, we can count on one hand the number of times that she has been sick or late. We were so impressed with Natesia’s work history, extensive experience and steadfast demeanor that, after interviewing her, we hired her when Jeanne was still pregnant. Natesia started working for us when our son Rhodes was 4 weeks old. Right away, she adapted seamlessly to the routines of our home and the demanding schedule of a newborn, such that Jeanne felt one hundred percent comfortable returning to work when Rhodes was 12 weeks old. When our son Ronan was born in 2017, Natesia greeted him in the hospital with joy and excitement. Natesia is kind, loving, patient and a treasured friend to Rhodes and Ronan. The kids just adore her. Her interactions with Rhodes and Ronan are nothing but genuine – they love to play, stroll, read, eat and chat together for hours. In addition, Natesia’s incredibly social nature manifests itself in the fact that our kids are constantly on the go, whether it be a playdate, a trip to the park or just a stroll around the neighborhood. The kids come home from these outings, wide-eyed and energized, full of stories about the world around them. We would be happy to speak with you more about Natesia – please do contact us!

You need Mary in your life! Mary was a nanny for my newborn son until he was 6 years old. I was working full-time and I appreciated the way she handled everything from naps, feeding, classes, playdates, doctor appointments and potty training. She has 20+ years of experience and is familiar with Manhattan and all of the baby and kids' classes. She's extremely punctual (essential for working moms), flexible, intelligent and has a great sense of humor. She's fun! Since then, I've had Mary babysit my 2 children for weekends and business trips. She's trustworthy and responsible. A professional like Mary is hard to find. Moms have approached me to tell me they wish they had a nanny like Mary. Feel free to text or email her directly (917) 532-8817 email [email protected]

Maria was my son’s nanny from October 2019-April 2020. She started working for us when my son was around 5 months old. Maria is an extremely hard worker. She was always on time and arrived with a huge smile on her face. She not only looked after my son and did his laundry, but also kept our apartment tidy and would do tasks like dishes and vacuuming. Anything revolving the baby like the stroller, crib, and mats were always being cleaned. She is active and enthusiastic and created a schedule for each day including activities like the going to the library, park, and music class. Maria would sing to my son and was able to put him for naps with ease. She is also very caring. The first day she came with a gift for my son and even throughout her time with us she would give him little presents like at Christmas time. Other mothers in my building would come up to me and say they could tell that I have a great nanny who really cares about my son. I speak very little Spanish but it was never an issue with us. Maria would send me photos during the day and constantly update me on their whereabouts. She is very organized and would write down what happened during the day including milk intake and diaper changes. Above all else I knew my son was safe with her and she loved him like her own. I give my full recommendation. I would be happy to answer any other questions.

Yuti is a treasure! The only reason she is no longer with us is because I am not working due to covid. Yuti started with us when my daughter was 4 months old. She is now 4 1/2. My youngest daughter is two years old and Yuti took care of her from when she was a newborn. Not only is Yuti a wonderful nanny but she is a wonderful person. She is kind, sweet, and quiet-natured. As a first time mom she would give me suggestions or recommendations but only when she saw I was struggling. She was never pushy with her opinions. Yuti respected the way I wanted to parent and would ask if she was unsure of how I felt about something child related. I learned a lot from her. I worked from home and she was always respectful of that situation and knew how to handle the kids when they wanted to be with me. I give Yuti credit for establishing all of my daughters friendships. She had not previously worked in our neighborhood but she found a network of nannies to do playdates with and found friends for my daughters to play with. Yuti also found different age appropriate actives for them to participate in. I love how she was always eager to be out and about and keep the kids engaged in activities. All the neighborhood nannies know my daughters since Yuti created a vibrant social life for them. (But she was also amazing at making sure they got in their naps!) My daughters love Yuti and I know she will be a part of our lives for a long time even if she is not working with us. Many of the families that she has worked for still keep in touch with her. She really is a gem of a person and nanny and whoever is fortunate to have her is very lucky. Yuti is currently available on Monday and Friday. If you’d like to get in touch with her texting or calling is preferred over email

Carol has been more than a nanny to my two boys- 4 1/2 and 10 months. She has become family to us and has been with us for more than 4 years. We have been privileged to have her since my oldest son was 3 months old and from the birth of my 2nd son who is now almost 1 year old. She is the perfect balance of professional and warmth- She is loving, caring and very interactive. She is always doing something with the kids, helping them do activities and make friends and even helped introduce us to some of Gavin's best friends. Both my children are very connected to her and we have always felt that our kids are safe with her. She has gone out of her way to make this challenging time manageable. She is flexible and dependable and we wouldn't have been able to get through these unprecedented times without her. Sadly, while we have recently moved out of the city, the commute is too much for her and her family with our later hours and unfortunately she can't live-in with us. We have mutually agreed that it is best for her and our family to part ways with Carol but we want to help her find a new home for her to care for as she is a special addition to any family. My heart is heavy thinking about not having her in our daily life--but because of how amazing she has been over these years, we are committed to visiting her regularly and keeping her in our lives. I can’t express how fortunate we have been to have her--her next family will be so incredibly lucky to have her too . Please message me for further information. Carol is available to start as early as October 5th, 2020.

The best nanny/baby sitter! I am posting on behalf of our longtime babysitter Ms. Celina Lesporis. She is currently looking for her next position as a full time babysitter/nanny. Celina worked for us for 9 wonderful years taking my youngest son from babyhood through age 9 and being a loving, responsible and creative caretaker for both my sons. Celina is trustworthy, caring, prompt and diligent. On several occasions, she watched the children when I was out of town, traveled with both of them on her own and was left in charge of everything in our home. She is always on time, prepared and organized. Over the years, she both encouraged playdates and managed the scheduling of some of the children's social engagements with attention to detail and encouragement to both of the boys providing them with so many happy days and fun outings. Celina routinely scheduled outings to many of the places that New York has to offer for children- museums, the aquarium, parks and libraries. She made sure that they were outside exploring and enjoying and engaging. She maintained exemplary personal care of the children, providing meals, bath time and grooming and was wonderfully playful and affectionate to them while doing so. Both of my sons continue to hold her in the warmest regard even as they have grown up. Celina is soft spoken and quiet upon first meeting but she has an excellent sense of humour, intelligence and wit. She comes from a close knit family and was an amazing mother to her two grown children as well as a beloved daughter, sister and friend. I simply cannot recommend Celina highly enough. I never once worried about the well being of my children when they were in her care. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any further questions or information. Kathleen Hennessy 917 833 2864

Jen is a truly amazing caregiver who has become a part of our family, helping raise our two daughters over the last 4 years. I’m now home with them so we are transitioning out of full time care which is bittersweet as it means not having Jen in our lives on a daily basis. The girls completely adore her. Jen is a knowledgeable and experienced childcare professional, but more importantly she genuinely enjoys what she does. Her never-ending patience and gentle ways with our strong willed girls is proof of that! Taking care of children is definitely a calling for her, not just a way to make a living. She has 20 plus years experience as a nanny working with all age kids, especially babies and toddlers – and is still in touch with these families, meeting up on birthdays and other milestone events. Jen loves to be out and about with the girls, taking them around the neighborhood to parks and playgrounds, to gym & music classes and organizing playdates. At home she sings and reads to them, gets down on the floor with them to play, and takes care of their meals and laundry (tidying up along the way). She’ll send me pictures during the day so I feel a part of their adventures and recounts funny and sweet moments between the girls, sharing in the excitement. Jen is looking for a full-time position with a family she can grow with. We would be delighted to have her continue on with us one day a week if that arrangement suits her next family. She is flexible on timing, willing to come in early or stay late as needed and is also available for babysitting in the evenings or weekends. Jen has been cautious during the pandemic, following all mandates / guidance and is Brooklyn based. Feel free to reach out to me by phone or email if you would like to chat further about our experience with Jen. We feel so lucky to have found her through friends moving out of the city as my 1st maternity leave came to an end. They are happy to provide an additional reference.

Ann is a one of a kind Nanny that has a real gift for caring for newborns, including 15+ years experience with twins! We are her 3rd long-term family with twins that Ann has been a part of (in which she remained full-time for 5+ years with each family). Ann has been with our family for over 8 years and our 3 children (twins, singleton) have now grown up. Ann is a caring, thoughtful, honest, hard-working, good natured person who is wonderful with children and very generous with her help with both the children and around the house. She loves the outdoors and will pack up water, snacks, lunches and spend hours in the park or pool with the kids or just walking around the neighborhood. She is very personable and makes friends easily with other parents and caregivers which is helpful for play-dates and such. She is a good sport and loves music and games and is up for whatever the kids would like to play. The kids love her and there are hugs all around. As a full-time working mother, it was a huge relief to know the kids were well taken care of...jackets would not be forgotten, full tummies were a priority and washing hands, baths, pajamas were always taken care of. My youngest has allergies (travels with an EpiPen) and Ann was very careful with his food restrictions and signs of an allergic reaction. The mother of the family before ours told me at the end of my reference check call that I better grab her now because I would not find another Nanny like her. And she was completely right!!

Eugenia was our nanny for three years, from when my daughter Kate was six months old until she was three and half and we moved upstate. As a working first-time mother, I was very anxious to leave my daughter with a nanny, but what I found with Eugenia was the confidence in her ability to care for my child and that it was OK for her to care for my child. Both were hurdles that I needed to overcome. She was the only nanny I interviewed, and from that moment, I knew she was the right person for our family. Loving, responsible, kind, calm, and a person I could trust. One of my favorite things about Eugenia is that she was always present with Kate. Whenever I worked from home, I learned so much from her and how she related to Kate.

When I was off from work and could take my daughter to one of her classes, the teachers always gave me unsolicited feedback on Natalie saying how much they loved her and how attentive she is. My daughter loves Natalie-when we didn’t see her for several months during covid she would ask about her all the time and didn’t skip a beat when they were reunited. Natalie is patient and worked with us on developing good sleeping and eating habits. During nap time she would always tidy up our apartment and clean the baby’s toys/dishes etc. Any family would be lucky to have Natalie.

Our dear amazing nanny Lynette has been working with us and our two kids for 6 years now. She joined us when our son was about to be born and our daughter was 4.5. The kids are now 6 and 10.5 and they are finally at one school. Between that and Covid forcing me to work from home (probably indefinitely) we are no longer in a position where we need help and sadly need to say goodbye. Prior to working with us she was with another family and their 3 kids – all of whom she raised from birth – who she is still very close with. Lynette is loving, kind, fun, energetic, gentle but in charge - and treats them truly like her own. Lynette always has my kids laughing and places a great emphasis on kindness and respect – and completely showers them with her love. She has helped us with so many transitions and has provided guidance and support through them all – weening away from breast milk (and into solids) potty training, starting school and the addition of a sibling. She does all of the kids’ laundry (and ours) and makes all of the kids’ meals (and sometimes ours) - including homemade baby food during that stage. I place a big emphasis on healthy food and she happily abides. My house is always immaculate when I get home. I never understand how that is possible. She is flexible and happy to work late, nights or weekends – and has always stayed with our kids when my husband and I have been out of town. In our 6 years together she called in sick exactly one day and always arrives on time - and never rushes out. My son had a 9 hours skull surgery when he was 6 months (he was born with craniosynostosis). Lynette stayed with my daughter for the 4 nights we were at the hospital. When we arrived home his eyes were still swollen shut and it was a nerve wracking situation. When we walked in the door she scooped him up, bathed him and had his eyes open and a giggle going within 45 minutes. She is scared of nothing and does it all with ease. She is great with all ages but is most definity the baby whisperer. Lynette is very social and has a wonderful network of friends in the neighborhood – made on behalf of our kids. My son is essentially the mayor of Brooklyn Heights and literally knows more people than my husband and me thanks to Lynette. He has daily playdates – sometimes more than one – all scheduled and coordinated by Lynette. She is the nanny that other families ask to take their kids when they are in a bind. She is adored by anyone who knows her. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. She's the BEST!!!! You can reach out to me at (917) 825-7436 or Lynette at (516)732-4071. **SHE WILL HAPPILY NIGHT NURSE BUT IS LOOKING TO STAY LONG-TERM. Lynette would love to start with a baby

Parent Reference

Our family benefited in so many ways from Mel's proactive approach to childcare: she was a fantastic cook for our kids and focused on kid-friendly and healthy meals; she scheduled daily outings to playgrounds, libraries, and play dates; and she taught our kids new things in a loving way. Working with Mel was very easy. She was extremely punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. When one of our children was diagnosed with a food allergy, Mel rose to the challenge of taking extra precautions with her food and surroundings. She was also very communicative. She sent us pictures of our kids everyday and is happy to share lots of details from the day when we returned home. Overall, Mel allowed our kids to play, grow, and learn while keeping them happy and safe. I am happy to answer any questions or provide a reference. Mel would love to work with a newborn and is available in November.

Parent Reference

Lydia has a lot of experience as a nanny and has a son who is 22-year-old. Both her experience as caregiver and mother, and her warm personality made it a very pleasant time to have her around. She took care of our son for 1 year and half, starting when he was 6 months. Her responsibilities included napping/sleeping, eating, cooking, bathing, playing with him, going out for walks and going to the playground. When she was not taking care of him, she helped tidying the apartment. She even travelled with us. She has an amazing work ethic and disposition (she never took a day off and doesn't use her cell phone during work hours). Previously, she took care of the children of a family living in our building (4 boys) who highly recommended her to us. My son still loves her and is happy when she comes to visit.

Dee is a real gem! She is very loving and has been a wonderful full-time nanny for our daughter since she was 3 months old. Dee is very warm and loving and cares for our daughter, plays with her, reads to her and brings her to activities. Since our daughter is going to kindergarten, we no longer need full-time childcare, and would love to find Dee another wonderful family. She prefers starting with children from infants so they develop a relationship early. Dee is very active - she engages with children, takes them to the park, around the city to activities & school, reads to them and takes care off all their needs. Dee has over 21 years of childcare experience and comes from a large family and has 3 grown kids and 13 grandkids, so is a warm and energetic person. Dee is very flexible and would live in our out. I found her on this website when my daughter was born. Please call me for more information.

* MARY POPPINS AVAILABLE* My heart is literally breaking to write this but my one of a kind nanny is available as our situation changed due to covid. Elizabeth has been a part of our family for the past 5+ years, starting when my middle son was 2 months old. Anyone who has ever met her or seen her with my boys knows how kind, loving, attentive and special she is; I've been told directly countless times. Elizabeth is everything you’d want in a nanny: Firm but loving, a great cook (and baker!), punctual, takes the initiative with play-dates, classes, and other activities - so I don’t have to worry or even think about any of it. She’s patient, understanding, responsible, intuitive, gives great advice having raised three wonderful children of her own and is MORE than trustworthy. I can truly say that having her in our lives has not only been an amazing experience & gift for my sons, but for us as well. I would love nothing more than to help her to find her next warm and loving family. She is looking for full time OR 4 days a week live-out position.
