She also helps tidy up, cooked dinners and did some light housekeeping. She was also was totally happy to take the kids to the park. (My previous nannies really didn't like taking the kids outside.) Most important, she is a wonderful human and a great person for my kids to be around.

My dear and cherished nanny, Gloria, is a beautiful person inside and out. She is extremely loving, caring, trustworthy, intelligent, creative, responsible, punctual, flexible, and willing to do whatever you ask of her in order to help you and your family. She is extremely positive and upbeat and has lots of energy. Gloria has expertise caring for newborn, babies, and toddlers. She is extremely knowledgable of each stage of development and knows exactly what to do for acid reflux, teething issues, tummy time, motor skill development, brain development, age appropriate learning, transitioning from formula/breast milk to food, regular nap routine, and potty learning. She is flexible with scheduling and very adaptable to meet the family's needs. Gloria can easily carry a car seat, heavy stroller, and baby bag. She loves to go for walks and do age appropriate playgrounds. She used to be a nurse and has a Montessori teaching background. She is extremely health conscious, takes hygiene seriously, and is fully vaccinated. Gloria began to care for our son when he was 4 months old. They bonded within the first 5 minutes of meeting. Her smile and warm heart enveloped him, and I saw safety and trust immediately established between them and between us as well. When you meet Gloria, you will know exactly what I mean when you experience her love, care, trust, and heart. There is no one like her!! From the very beginning of Gloria’s time with our family, I have met and spent time with Gloria’s entire family, her husband, who is a doctor, her two adult children, and grandson. Her children are just like her—warm, loving, and gentle. Witnessing Gloria firsthand with her own children and seeing how wonderful people they are gave me so much assurance as a first time mother. I only have tremendous respect and love for Gloria and feel so grateful that my son could be loved and cared for by someone so special. Gloria is like family. Gloria knows exactly what to do and will happily and willingly do whatever you ask of her regarding the care of your child or children. She is also very experienced as I already mentioned when it comes to acid reflux, teething, introduction of foods, and developmental learning. Gloria would bring age appropriate learning toys and games to help in my son’s development. She is also very generous and not only gave our son beautiful and meaningful gifts at his birthday and the holidays but would surprise my son with age appropriate toys that matched his interest at the time. It is with extreme sadness that we have to end our time with Gloria. My husband and I relocated due to a job opportunity outside of New York state. It was unexpected. It is very heartbreaking because we are all so bonded with Gloria. My son at the time was 2 and a half years old. It was only a few months ago that he began saying Gloria’s name! I can say with confidence and from experience that Gloria is the right person for our family, and I know she will be the right person for your family. Although Gloria does not speak much English, she understands exactly what to do. She is extremely smart and perceptive. Gloria always sent pictures of my son and their activities throughout the day so we felt connected to what they were doing. Gloria is a one of a kind, a true giver of care. I highly and without hesitation recommend her. She will become a part of your family the way she became a part of our family. I am happy to speak with you at any time if you have any questions. Please do not hesitate to call, text, or email me, Michelle, at [email protected] or text/call at 610-334-3160.

Our wonderful nanny Lanna is available FT starting at the end of October 2022. Lanna was a joy to work with and took amazing care of our 20 month old son for 8 months. She has experience with all ages of children. Our son truly loves Lanna and warmed up to her very quickly. When she rings the doorbell in the mornings, he says her name then runs towards the door. Lanna takes care of all the needs of our son, takes him to the playground where she arranged a small group of similar aged friends for him, and reads, sings, and does activities with him indoors. We have never had any concern leaving our son with Lanna, and it was so nice to have peace of mind while at work. Lanna is very experienced and had ideas for us, as first time parents. She was never overbearing and we truly appreciated her recommendations. Lanna was also never late to work in the morning.

Charmaine is an experienced, energetic and conscientious nanny. She started and ended every day with a smile and her positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile endeared her to our family right away! I strongly recommend her for full-time employment. She cared for my infant and before that watched my friend’s children for years until they moved out of state. She has over twenty years of childcare experience, is CPR and First Aid Certified and cares deeply about your child’s well being and safety. She can be paid on the books and balances professionalism with a naturally caring demeanor. Her warm and comforting presence instantly put my child at ease the first time they met and smoothed over what I thought would be a difficult transition. She works with you to assist your child’s development, taking guidance where offered and also offering her own experience and insights where appropriate to help your child reach developmental milestones. She was never late, was flexible and came up with creative ways to occupy my child’s days, including going out of her way to find enriching activities in the area. We are sad to say goodbye to her due to a sudden change in our circumstances, but know that she will be a very welcome addition to whichever family is fortunate enough to hire her.

My fantastic nanny Priya is looking for a full-time job in Manhattan only as we are moving out of state next month. She's been with us for over a year and has been phenomenal in taking care of my now 22-month-old son, and we will miss her a lot. She is also great with my newborn daughter, and lives with her newborn niece so has experience with both age groups. She's young, energetic, speaks fluent English (is from Guyana so it's her native language), and is very active with our son. She's very artistic (is a henna artist for weddings on the side!) so loves doing art projects and arts & crafts with him, as well as cooks his meals, makes sure he stays on schedule and bathes him as well. Happy to answer any questions.

I am writing this nanny post to recommend our wonderful nanny of 6 years Mala. Mala became part of our family when my son was 9 months old until he turned 6. She helped raise him and my daughter (who she cared for form the time she was born until she turned 4). When Mala first joined us, we had a difficult experience with a previous nanny who was good in every way except that our son was a very difficult sleeper and I would come home from work every day to a cranky child. Mala stepped in with ease and completely turned our lives around. She was so loving and understanding of our fussy baby’s needs. She was completely open to trying different methods until we managed to help him get on a nap schedule that turned him into a happy thriving baby. Since then she has been part of our family. She is a wonderful nanny for little babies and older kids alike. She will always prioritize the kids and their wellbeing. She is capable of so much love and caring. Mala has helped us with school drop offs and pickups, setting up playdates, creating and managing a schedule for both our children. She also helps me tidy up the house and prep meals for the kids. Before the pandemic, I used to come home every day from work to a tidy home and happy kids. During lockdown, she has helped me manage our family’s time and space in order for each of us to get our work done. Mala is incredibly reliable. She shows up at least ten minutes before any agreed upon time and I can only remember once or twice when she called out sick in the six years she’s been with us. I have a full-time job and never once had to miss work (or arrive late) because of childcare issues. Any family will be lucky to have her love and support. Please feel free to contact me with any questions with regards to her time with us!

Our nanny, Christine, is looking for a full-time position starting ASAP. She has been with us for the last two years taking care of my little one, who will begin attending school in the Fall. Christine started caring for my younger daughter when she was only six months old. It was amid Covid, and Christine took amazing care of her amidst such a trying time. Christine is highly reliable; once your little ones are with her, you do not need to think about them twice. She is joyful---she feels our home with laughter and stories. She also sings very well. When I return home, I often hear them singing---it is such a joyful experience. Christine teaches my daughter how to read letters, decipher sign language, many new words, etc.---the list can go on. Everyone tells us my daughter is pretty advanced compared to her age, and full credit goes to Christine. Stating from teaching her A, B, C, and D to Rhymes and all the vocabularies---Christine taught her everything. Christine also taught her how to be independent (eat by herself, wear her own dress) and polite (say sorry, thank you, please, as appropriate), etc. Christine sometimes takes care of my older daughter (five years old) too, especially when her school is closed. She reads to her story books, bakes cake together, and takes them to the park/play dates. Christine is part of our family. We completely rely on her. Recently we were going through some medical emergencies, and Christine was always there for us (coming at odd hours to be with the kids, staying late, etc.). She is just amazing!! Any family will be lucky to have her. I wish her all the best. I will be more than happy to give personal references if anyone wants a more detailed conversation.

Pauline is loyal and trustworthy and always goes above and beyond her responsibilities, which included but was not limited to the following areas: Planned and provided learning opportunities to our son which supported his growth in the areas of cognition, early literacy and language, social development, play skills, fine and gross motor development, adaptive/self-care skills, health and his nutritional needs. She prepared baby foods, bottle fed, changed diapers, bathed, dressed, read and potty trained my son. She monitored my son's the health and safety whether at home or the playground and monitored play areas to assure safety and cleanliness of the equipment. Pauline maintained a clean and safe home. I could rely on her to observe my child to detect any signs of illness, injury, emotional disturbance, or other special needs and reports those signs to me immediately. We are sad that she is unable to continue with us because my son is now attending Kindergarten. I highly recommend her and knows she will be an asset to your family.

Hi everyone! Recommending our nanny, Merle, who has been with us for 3 years, as all 3 of our kids are off to school next year. We are in Downtown Brooklyn, but she is comfortable working all over Brooklyn. Merle has been our nanny since the Summer of 2019. In our time together, Merle has proven herself to be honest, respectable, caring and good with children. She is very patient but firm when necessary. She does a great job keeping things tidy with the messy boys. Merle began caring for our eldest child at age 2 and he is now 5. Merle has also cared for our twins from birth and has first-hand experience of taking care of newborns, twins, toddlers and preschoolers. She is very active with our kids and takes them to the park and/or play dates daily, sometimes multiple times a day, which is no small feat as our little ones are rambunctious and strong willed. Our boys adore Merle and she is patient but firm with them. She has taught them good manners as well as basic toddler knowledge (colors, animals, ABC’s, numbers, etc). Our boys love to greet Merle at the door in the mornings and she is always happy to give them hugs to say hello. She has been flexible with our schedule and has been happy to stay late or come on weekends when requested. Merle is available immediately. Both my husband and I would be more than happy to answer any additional questions you may have regarding our experience with Merle. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at any time.

If you are based in Manhattan or BK and seeking a nanny for your infant, look no further. Pauline is amazing with infants. She has cared for my daughter from 9 months up to 3.5 years. Now that we're finally ready to put our daughter into PreK, it's sadly time to part with her nanny. Pauline is always on time, reliable, and cares for your child the same as you would. She's never on her phone. Whenever she took my daughter to the playground or out for walks, she was 100% vigilant, responsible, and careful to only let my child engage in age-appropriate activities. She cooks for my daughter, does her dishes, puts away her laundry, makes sure she finishes her meals, etc. Pauline isn't the type of nanny to sit around; she is continually busy and interacting with my daughter. Pauline is based in Brooklyn. You will be so glad you hired the most responsible nanny to care for your precious little one.

Our son is transitioning to daycare and our current nanny will only be coming during the morning. She will therefore be able to help another family who needs help starting 10 am or so (we are flexible as we do not want her to miss out on working with another family) . I cannot recommend Paula enough. She has taken care of our son with the same level of love, patience and care as any family relative would. She had unwavering attention and kindness to our then infant (and now toddler) who has grown very attached to her. She has helped us with all of the tasks needed (feeding, changing, washing, entertaining, singing and reading) and also went out of her way to help us with house cleaning and tidying up whenever possible. She always puts safety first and does not take any risk, and I was perfectly comfortable entrusting her with taking our son to the park, to playdates and to gym classes. As a person, you cannot find anyone more respectful, uplifting and caring. Her punctuality is unparalleled, often coming ahead of the time. She has yet to take a single day off and that has helped my husband and I tremendously after alot of difficulty finding reliable catevtakers during covid times. She has also been flexible enough to accommodate our vacations to hers and that has made our life much easier. I would gladly tell you more as I wish nothing but the best for Paula.

Our nanny, Anita, has been an absolute blessing for our family and a joy to have as part of our household since the day we met her. First and foremost, she is warm and loving to our baby, whom we hired her to care for, as well as to our older daughter, whom she often takes on, too, on school holidays or days between summer camp. She engages both girls with music, crafts, baking, lots of outdoor time, and little adventures around our Chelsea neighborhood. We’ve seen our baby flourish verbally and watched her personality shine with Anita’s attention and encouragement. She is incredibly supportive to both my husband and me, preparing all of the baby’s food (a very healthy variety of foods), helping us with pickups for our older daughter, staying a little late now and then, bathing the girls or pitching in around the house. Anita helps us with the morning dishes, the girls’ laundry, keeping all of the girls’ play areas tidy, and organizing the clothes that the girls have outgrown so they’re ready for donating. Anita brings peace amid the chaos of the mornings and evenings, not to mention a positive attitude and a good sense of humor. We hired Anita mid-pandemic to care for our then-five month old daughter when I returned to work. We explained at the outset that our plan was to move the baby to daycare about a year later, and Anita was willing to take the job even given that short time frame. We have happily extended that time frame but, with very mixed emotions, we will be sending the baby to daycare full time starting this fall, so we are hoping to help Anita find another family for October.

Experienced, on the books nanny available! Barbara has been with us for 13 years, and her prior employer for 7, which shows how highly we value her and how integral she was to making our family work. She has been with us since my oldest was a newborn, but with our kids in middle school it is time to help Barbara find a new family to work with. She has helped us raise two very different children, now 10 and thirteen, with kindness, patience, and a sense of humor. She is perhaps the most reliable person I know - I can count on one hand the number of days she was out or late and she always communicated clearly about scheduling. Most importantly, she was a person we could trust to keep our kids happy and safe. Barbara learns all of the neighborhood activities and seamlessly manages activities, school dropoffs and pickups, playdates, homework, dinner, and bedtime. She has endless energy and was always getting the kids out to the park or something fun, and would get down and play with them, read to them, and do art projects. She has become a trusted person not only for our family but our children’s friends, often pitching in when they needed afterschool or evening care. She is fully vaccinated and has always been very health and safety conscious. Her ideal placement would be a full time placement in Brooklyn or Manhattan, with a family who has younger children, so that she can grow with them. She has always been flexible regarding scheduling (including evenings or the occasional overnight as needed), which was a godsend when juggling two work schedules. She would prefer to work on the books but is open to discussing.

We recently moved out of New York City and are trying to help our nanny find a new loving family! She has worked for us for 1 year, but worked for family friends on the UWS for 15 years - helping raise their daughter - before coming to us. She is experienced with ALL age ranges, after school needs, infant and toddler needs, and running all sorts of errands. She is absolutely phenomenal with our son who was age 10 months to 22 months - an age range she seems to really really enjoy. She is responsible, reliable, dedicated, and trustworthy! She cares for our son as her own, and provides for him during every minute of the working day. In addition to doing a song and dance for our son during playtime and awake hours, she took him outside and to the park regularly, she made playdates with other similar aged children, prepared Infant appropriate foods while he napped, kept the nursery and diaper bag tidy at all times, handled breast milk, bottles, and pump parts cleaning, did light cleaning, and did baby laundry! She is willing to help out in anyway possible with household chores to make our lives easier. I can't say enough praise for her. We love her and she has become family, I would love to find her a loving new family. Please feel free to reach out to her directly.

Merle Millington worked with our family for three years, helping to care for and raise our son Augustine (Augie) since he was five months old. As parents, we all want the best care for our children and my husband and I went through an extensive babysitter search involving three rounds of interviews, including a bonus round with the grandparents. We all instantly fell in love with Merle, even my husband’s father, a former children’s social worker, who is a tough judge of character when it comes those who will care for his grandchildren. Merle’s warm nature and good sense of humor made her an immediate fit for our family, but what won her the job was the love she radiated for our son. We were extremely fortunate to have Merle as part of our family. Not only did she demonstrated a loving commitment to our son, but she expertly guided me through the challenges of being a first time mom. When Augie was just five months old I felt confident leaving Augustine under Merle’s care. They quickly formed a bond and Merle would keep him entertained for hours with singing, dancing and stories. As Augie has grown older, Merle has expanded her bag of tricks teaching Augie his letters, numbers and recently she has begun to work with him on how to read. She has formed relationships with other families in our community, creating playdates for Augie on a regular basis. And on a sunny day it’s not unusual to find Merle with Augie at the playground, following him down the slide. Additionally, Augie is not the easiest of children, stubborn and known to throw a fit or two, (not shocking to anyone who has lived with a three-year-old) and he certainly put us all through our paces, but not Merle. Her endless patience and love for our son has extended to every situation. Merle went above and beyond in her care for Augie. She was reliable, easy going and always available when we needed her. In weeks where our schedules were crazy, she did not bat an eye when we needed extra help. She cooked up a storm and, on occasion, surprised my husband and I with a delicious meal. Our apartment was always spotless and Augie’s closet organized to a tee. We cannot say enough about Merle and if it were not for our move across country, we would keep her on indefinitely, she became, and still is, a part of our family. Whoever gets to welcome Merle into their home next, will be incredible lucky to have her. She will inject vibrancy and love into your child’s life.

My amazing nanny has over ten years of experience. She maintains a healthy lifestyle and is very energetic. She’s taken my child to play dates, doctor appointments, and or outside entertainment events pre-Covid. During Covid, she’s taken every safety precaution by masking my child, carrying extra masks and hand sanitizer when going outside. She has taught my child how to speak Spanish as she’s Bilingual (English-Spanish), prepared their meals, and their baths when necessary. Mercedes’s a lot of fun in keeping my child occupied with her immense energy. She’s very punctual and DOES NOT DO LIGHT CLEANING, but, does pick up after my child. She is CPR and First Aid certified and is vaccinated for Covid. If you’re looking for a nanny to become part of your family, I strongly recommend Mercedes.

I am writing this nanny post to recommend our wonderful nanny of 6 years Mala. Mala became part of our family when my son was 9 months old until he turned 6. She helped raise him and my daughter (who she cared for form the time she was born until she turned 4). When Mala first joined us, we had a difficult experience with a previous nanny who was good in every way except that our son was a very difficult sleeper and I would come home from work every day to a cranky child. Mala stepped in with ease and completely turned our lives around. She was so loving and understanding of our fussy baby’s needs. She was completely open to trying different methods until we managed to help him get on a nap schedule that turned him into a happy thriving baby. Since then she has been part of our family. She is a wonderful nanny for little babies and older kids alike. She will always prioritize the kids and their wellbeing. She is capable of so much love and caring. Mala has helped us with school drop offs and pickups, setting up playdates, creating and managing a schedule for both our children. She also helps me tidy up the house and prep meals for the kids. Before the pandemic, I used to come home every day from work to a tidy home and happy kids. During lockdown, she has helped me manage our family’s time and space in order for each of us to get our work done. Mala is incredibly reliable. She shows up at least ten minutes before any agreed upon time and I can only remember once or twice when she called out sick in the six years she’s been with us. I have a full-time job and never once had to miss work (or arrive late) because of childcare issues. Any family will be lucky to have her love and support. Please feel free to contact me with any questions with regards to her time with us!

While Samantha was with our family for less than a year, she quickly became an integral part of our home. We have 4 young children (10 and below) and Samantha was never flustered while keeping up with them. We would have last minute changes with schedules and kid activities and Samantha was always even keeled. She was always flexible and willing to change her schedule if a work event came up for one of us. She kept things running in our house, helping with food prep and other chores for the children. We truly depended on her and she never let us down. She found different ways to warm up to each of our children, learning their different behaviors and interests. That could be the little games she play with our 2-year old to the jokes she’d share with my 10-year old. Unfortunately our situation has changed, but we’re hoping she’ll find another lucky family soon.

Vicky has been a rock for our family over the last year and a half, since our daughter was 4 months old. If we could work with her forever, we truly would. Unfortunately, we will be moving away from New York City at the end of April. We'd without question recommend Vicky to any of our closest family and friends. Vicky is reliable, professional, personable, and attentive. With more than 20 years of experience, Vicky was able to guide us through early parenthood. When our child was an infant, Vicky was essential in maintaining our daughter’s sleep and eating schedules, and she was critical in supporting us in the early stages of sleep training. As our daughter began to develop, Vicky ran point on her transition to solid foods. Vicky took tremendous care making sure that our daughter had a healthy and diverse diet from her earliest days. On a weekly basis, Vicky has prepared a grocery list for us, and has been in charge of preparing our daughters lunch, snacks, and dinners during the week. In addition to helping us develop a solid diet for our daughter, Vicky was also helpful with indicating our child’s developmental milestones and helping us to understand when to transition away from certain books, toys, bottles, activities, and accessories. Vicky even taught our daughter sign language. The last 12 months have arguably been the most fun to have Vicky as a part of our family. Beginning last spring, Vicky let us know when our daughter was ready to start attending music classes in the park and story time at the library. Vicky and our daughter live an extraordinarily active life—bundling up for the park early in the morning, attending classes, and seemingly making friends everywhere they go. Through both the playground and the classes that Vicky encouraged us to sign our child up for (gymnastics, sports, and dance), they began building a network of friends in the neighborhood. Now our daughter has a vibrant group of friends that she plays with every day in the park. The group also celebrates holidays together, and the group of Nanny’s have organized trips to the Central Park Zoo and the Children’s Museum. Unfortunately, we are moving too far away from the city for Vicky to be able to continue working for us. During our time of working with Vicky, we have had nothing but the utmost confidence in her ability to help us provide our daughter with a healthy, happy, and exciting life in New York. After your first meeting with Vicky, we are sure you will feel the same. Vicky will be available as of October and would love to work with a newborn. We will be happy to answer any and all questions.

Our wonderful nanny, Debbie, has been with our family for 21 years! Now that our boys are older, we don’t have as much work for Debbie, but we still love having her here! She is now with us just once a week (to help with laundry and light cleaning), so Debbie would love to find additional work with another family. She is looking for a part-time nanny position (2 days a week), ideally caring for a newborn baby. Debbie joined us when we had a newborn and a two-year-old. For many years, she was with us 4 days a week. As our boys grew, our schedule changed and Debbie was great about adapting with us. Debbie is cheerful, knowledgeable, and lovely with newborns and children of all ages. She is very attentive to the children in her care, and will carefully follow any instructions you have. She is always happy to go out with the children, arrange playdates, or play at home, if that is the preferred plan for the day. She is friendly, kind, trustworthy, well-organized, and children love her. Debbie is also on time - all the time! And has almost never missed a day of work. Debbie helped care for our boys through all the stages of childhood: preparing baby bottles, delicious meals and snacks, doing the children’s laundry, keeping toys clean and in order, reading stories, playing games, helping us juggle schedules, and taking our boys to school, the park, playdates, music and gym classes, and many other activities… all the way through their teen years, when Debbie was always happy to lend a hand if the boys (or any of us) needed anything, and kept our home running beautifully. Our boys were always safe and happy with Debbie, and they are still very close with her. Any family would be lucky to work with Debbie! Please feel free to call or text with any questions. PS: Recently, Debbie also worked part-time for another family, for 3 years, starting when their first daughter was a newborn. That job ended because the family moved away, but they will be glad to provide a great recommendation, too.

Amazing nanny!! My kids and I have been beyond blessed to have Tina in our lives. She is incredibly caring, loving, friendly, and full of energy. She has been taking care of my twin 2.5 yr old boys, who look forward for her to arrive each morning. Tina is punctual and manages the whole days schedule with the kids. Tina is very enthusiastic in everything she does. Tina has so much energy from the moment she comes to our home in the morning. She prepares the kids’ meals, feeds the kids, takes them to the park /library, and school, reads to them, plays with them and gives them a bath. My kids have learned so much from her, including alphabets, numbers and just being happy, respectful kids. She has an incredible amount of energy and also sings and dances with the kids. One of the biggest hurdles I had was having my boys eat a variety of food. Tina took it upon herself to introduce them to a wide variety of foods which they now love. Tina was there for us as I was traveling overseas and as my family went through a medical emergency. She always made herself available and my mind was at peace knowing the boys were well taken care of, even late into the night. She is well aware of good hygiene, making sure the kids take off their shoes and wash their hands as soon as they enter the home. She is also potty training them. The boys are starting full time nursery and we would love to help Tina find a great family. She is Covid-19 vaccinated and CPR certified. She can take a flu shot upon request.

We started to work with Eunice in January 2017, 3 months after the birth of our second son David. He was 2 month premature and it was essential for us to have someone very experienced who could be watching for any issue. Eunice came warmly recommended and it was a natural evidence at our first meeting that she would be a perfect match for us! We would like to highlight some things: Her experience and professionalism Over the years, Eunice has seen many different issues with the kids she took care of, from physical to mental health. She is very observant, and knows very well when to alert, and when to stay calm and wait. She has always been for us a real parenting partner, we would talk, compare notes and align on behaviors so that we would always be one aligned unit for our kids. She also became a relay for school where teachers would discuss with her directly at pick up if they had seen something with the boys. Needless to say, Eunice is always on time, very respectful and organized. She always took perfect care of our space, as if it were her own home. Her care, vibrancy and kindness She has a kind firmness that works beautifully with the boys. They are very close to her, confiding in her, and going to her for reassurance. And at the same time, she usually has to ask for things only once! (Believe us, that’s extraordinary!). As for her vibrancy, we used to joke that she has much more energy than both of us combined. Her respect in the relationship with us parents With Covid and the ensuing work from home, lots of boundaries had to be redefined. Eunice helped us to navigate all of this with grace. She helped us tremendously on many fronts, while never ever getting in our way. She also insists on regular feedback sessions to see if there is anything worth adjusting. Usually these were quite fast on our side. (“Everything is perfect!”) but it was a very professional way of giving us a lot of space in her work with the boys. Obviously we warmly recommend Eunice. Now our boys have grown, and we don’t need full time help as we used to, so it is time to change. But Eunice remains a part of our family and it really matters to us that she finds a new family that values her as much as we do!

Great Nanny Available! Vanessa took wonderful care of my oldest daughter for 4+ years starting when she was 16 weeks old. Vanessa seamlessly juggled the additional work when my 2nd daughter was born. I refer to Vanessa as the baby whisperer (all babies love her). I’ve witnessed when another family’s baby was inconsolable, their nanny handed the baby to Vanessa and she settled the crying baby immediately. Vanessa is punctual and very capable of managing a full schedule - getting the children ready for activities while making sure that they will have nutritious (and delicious!) meals and their scheduled naps. My oldest daughter’s best friend (6 years later) is from a connection Vanessa made. She is excellent at arranging playdates, socializing, and being out and about with the kiddos. Vanessa is extremely cautious and I never had a worry when my daughters were in her care. Lastly, my girls were always ready and presentable for their outings. Vanessa made a strong bond with my girls. We stay in touch still. Vanessa and my older daughter were always like best buddies. Even with their special relationship, Vanessa demands respect and helped instill wonderful manners in my oldest daughter. My girls still love their “Nessa” and I hope someone new can now build a strong relationship with Vanessa.

Rubi Kiyak has been our nanny for nearly six years, having started with us in October of 2016. She joined our family when our oldest (now six) was two months old, and stayed on as we grew from a family of three to a family of four. She proved invaluable at all phases of a child's development, from infancy through grade school. She has become part of our family and we will be forever grateful for her help in raising our children during their early years. Our childcare needs have shifted in the last few months as we relocated to Nashville from NYC and enrolled both of our children in school from 8am-3pm -- though to be perfectly honest, even with all of those reasons, we still wish we could keep her with us. I will start with the basics: Rubi is reliable, loving, and unflappable. She has a wonderful way with children and is able to soothe and guide them even when parents (at least us!) are not. Our children love her, respect her, and listen to her. When they get upset, she calms them. When they want to play, she plays with them. They did not sit in front of screens in our home... ever. They went out every day, rain or shine, and attended classes, went to playgrounds, saw exhibits at museums, and had play dates. She prepared all of their meals, washed all of their clothes, and made sure they always had necessities like diapers, wipes, etc. Beyond the basics though, she became a true rock for our children. She planned their birthday parties. She helped them make new friends. She encouraged them to try new things. She taught them Spanish. She bought virtually all of their clothes. She took them to the dentist. She took them to the doctor. She bought their school supplies. The list goes on and on. She also has a deep knowledge of the entire kid's scene on the UWS in particular and knew which classes they would enjoy, signed them up, and attended with them from pretty much day one. We had no idea which music class was best, or which soccer team might be the most fun, but she did and that saved us hours upon hours of research, not to mention potentially costly mistakes. She has great ideas for all kinds of fun activities and creative ways to keep them occupied, and probably most importantly, she genuinely, truly loves them. Her affection for our children is clear in everything she does and it made a world of difference during big life changes like potty training or starting school. She quickly and seamlessly joined our family and kept things running smoothly even in the midst of what I would describe as borderline chaos. She provided our children with consistency even when we could not. In case it is not yet clear, I love Rubi dearly. We all do. She is a wonderful nanny and human being. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions - happy to answer them all!

I'm posting to refer Sonam, our incredible nanny, of 2.5 years. We started working with Sonam when our daycare unexpectedly closed during the pandemic. While our original plan was to do a nanny-share, the other family moved out of state, but we continued working with Sonam because she took such great care of our sons. Now, our childcare needs have changed and she is looking for a family to work and grow with starting in mid-October. Sonam has been with our family during the pandemic, and through our transition from 1-2 kids. As a dual work-from-home family that runs a small business, she saved us during these trying times. She is reliable, trustworthy, health conscious and an amazing caregiver. She has extensive experience with newborns and young kids, and has been both attentive and loving with both our boys. She actively makes connections and has aided in scheduling play-dates and encouraging friendships for our children. She takes her role seriously and we know we can always rely on her to keep our kids safe and be punctual. Other parents have even approached me on weekends or holidays to comment on how loving and attentive she is every time they see her in the neighborhood. Sonam is energetic enough to keep the kids busy outside to assist in us having a quiet apartment to do work, but she is also happy to complete puzzles and read books on dreary days. She prepares food that is nutritious (and our kids gobble up) in addition to doing basic household duties such as laundry for the children, tidying up, vacuuming, etc. At this time she is only seeking full-time employment, but has experience with and is open to a nanny share.

Our wonderful French nanny and daughters’ best friend is now available to make the life of a new lucky and loving family easier! Neenee was a dream come true for our family and it’s a great pleasure to highly recommend her to her new loving family as we moving out of town. She has 15 years of experience working with children of all ages and she’s incredibly patient, loving and amazing with them. She has been taking care of our twins since they were 3 months old and they’re 4 years old now. Hiring Neenee in 2018 was the best decision ever made for our family, she’s energetic, attentive, kind, responsible and extremely reliable when it comes to keeping our girls healthy and safe. For 4 years, our twin girls have been well-fed, carefully bathed, toilet trained, nap trained, entertained, loved, cuddled everyday. We’ve always felt completely secure with leaving our daughters in her care. Neenee has made our girls lives full and fun by engaging with them in multiple activities and by organizing play dates, story times, music times, painting, etc. with the other nannies of the neighborhood in order to encourage our twins to speak, play and interact socially with others. The results on our children are amazing. Thanks to her special skills and approach to caring for our girls, they are smart, happy, confident, well mannered and totally fluent in both French and English. She cooked the most delicious healthy meals for our daughters and our apartment was always spotless as she light cleaned after the girls. Neenee has a great sense of communication, she respected our personal parenting style but was also confident enough to independently make day to day decisions regarding our girls. She has always reached out our thoughts about each decision made. We deeply value her extraordinary calm and patience with our children. Our twins absolutely love her, they run every morning at the door to welcome Neenee with excitement, joy and hugs. She has been such a great contribution to our family and we’re grateful for all the ways she’s made our life easier! Please, take note that Neenee is fully vaccinated and looking for a full time position of 40 hours minimum. Feel free to reach out to her directly through her phone number. I’m also standing ready to sing more her praises.

Shanique is a happy, positive and caring person. She stepped in at short notice to help with our shy 2-year-old covid baby, and they were best of friends within 2 days! Shanique also managed and built a fantastic bond with my 8-year-old son, she looked after them both full time Monday to Friday. Shanique was very flexible in accommodating our ever-changing schedules and never said no to doing additional hours or tweaking standard hours. She cooked some great Jamaican favorites for us enjoy once we had finished with work for the day. Shanique is also a mother herself to older children so was more than able to cope with any situation that my kids threw her way! My baby started full time daycare so we no longer need a Nanny hence, without hesitation I can recommend Shanique to your family.

Parent Reference

Jewel Ferdinand has worked for my family since April of 2011. She came to us as a caregiver for my two children, who were then nearly 3 years and 10 months old. She took care of them while my husband and I worked outside the home. She took them to activities, prepared their meals and fed them, entertained them, put them to sleep, sat with them when they were sick, structured their days, and helped us understand their needs. Her responsibilities expanded when our third child was born in 2013. She has been the de facto third parent to all of them for as long as they remember. Jewel is calm, steady and kind. As our kids grew and our needs changed she was always flexible, adaptable and open to new challenges. I did not exactly plan to employ a nanny for 12 years, but Jewel has been absolutely indispensable to all of us. Life with children is full of surprises and requires infinite patience, which Jewel has always demonstrated. She is also firm and organized- I have often relied on her attention to detail in managing schedules, packing for trips, making shopping lists. When faced with challenges like middle of the street tantrums, medical emergencies, a global pandemic, she maintained her equilibrium in her interactions with the kids and with me. We never stopped paying Jewel during the pandemic, but she offered to return to work in the summer of 2020, because she enjoys and takes pride in her work. I have worked from home for the past 2 years, so Jewel and I have shared the same workspace. Jewel displayed sensitivity and excellent communication skills as we negotiated this transition. Although our children are now 14, 11 and 9 and we no longer need full time child care, we are only parting ways with Jewel because we are moving to California. She is not able to relocate with us because she has her own family and is tied to New York City. We are keeping Jewel on after we move to help us manage our property in NY. She will be using her management skills and experience to coordinate maintenance projects and turnover of the house to tenants. Jewel’s experience and skills are particularly well suited to childcare and household management. She will be an asset to any employer in any role she decides to take on.

Thecla has over 20 years of experience. She came to our family highly recommended by her previous employer when our son was 6 months and our daughter 4 years old. In the two years I’ve known Thecla, she has become an integral part of our family. Thecla is very professional, social, proactive and independent, from keeping our son on schedule, organizing playdates with other nannies and children, reading and playing games, managing activities and consistently teaching important behavioral red lines. When weather permits, she spends time outdoors, has explored the different playgrounds and parks in the neighborhood and arranged outings with others to the zoo. Thecla has taken care of our son’s food (from baby food to delicious home-cooked meals), the kids’ laundry and tidying up their room. Most importantly, she has created a wonderful and loving bond with our kids and our children love her. Thecla is very reliable, always on time and has never missed a day of work. She is responsible, respectful, clear in her communication and has very good judgement. It should also be noted that Thecla is fully vaccinated and boosted and is careful and cautious when it comes to keeping our kids healthy and safe. As our needs change, we are saddened that we cannot keep Thecla with us.

She was apart of our family, and we all did love her and never worried when our kids were with her. June is equally good with both babies and older kids, and she is very balanced between maintaining order and discipline while still keeping things fun and light hearted. June is truly a treasure and I highly recommend her. Any family would be lucky to have her as their sitter!

Our wonderful nanny, Genelia, is looking for a new family. We feel so lucky to have found Miss G to take care of our daughter, and wish she could stay with us forever, but our daughter is now in school. She joined us when our baby was only six months old and taught us virtually everything we know as parents, from basics like feeding, bathing and grooming to early-childhood development goals for speech, motor skills and socialization. She has taught Emma so much—from crawling to walking, shapes, colors, numbers, letters, hand-washing—you name it. She never uses screens with Emma—just engages her in enriching arts and crafts, make-believe activities, reading, music, dancing, and outdoor exploration. Above all she has helped Emma to become an independent, responsible child who feeds herself, loves to help around the house, and tidies up after herself! She has also fostered such empathy and kindness in Emma. Emma shares so easily and often tries to comfort crying children she doesn’t even know—all behavior she learnt from Miss G. Miss G. did an amazing job socializing Emma during the pandemic while still keeping her completely safe—building a big network of nannies in the neighborhood so that Emma would have lots of wonderful friends to play with nearby. No ask is too big—Miss G has worked nights and weekends with little notice, and is so punctual and reliable. She is also a wonderful cook who lovingly prepares beautiful, nutritious meals for Emma every day. We’re so sad to be losing her and would recommend her without reservation. If you’re looking for someone who will fill your child with confidence, teach them how to make wonderful friends, foster kindness and a sense of responsibility in your child—you really can’t do better than Genelia. Any family would be SO lucky to have her.

It’s with much pleasure that I‘m able to recommend Vernette Franklin as a nanny. Vernette has helped me raise my daughter (now 5) since she was a few months old and has been a joy to work with. She consistently arrived at our home on time, ready to engage with my child, with a smile on. Throughout the time she has worked for me, she was recognized as a dedicated and dependable individual. Vernette has a number of strengths but one of her greatest strength- according to my observation- is her ability to be flexible yet maintain discipline, something which is not very easy to do. She’s kind, compassionate and intelligent. My daughter always looked forward to spending time with her. She was always genuinely interested in my daughter’s health and behavior and informed us if she thought something was not going ok. She always behaves and reacts professionally, even in adverse situations. As a friendly and fun individual, she will be able to provide excellent mentorship to your children like she did with mine contributing to who my daughter is today – a very fine and well-behaved child. Nannies like Vernette are hard to replace, she rarely missed days or called out sick, and provided appropriate notice when she did need time off. The only reason she won’t be with us any longer is because we are moving to Florida. We are very sad to say goodbye to her and will miss her as part of our family! I highly recommend her and know she will serve you well. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information or have any questions regarding her abilities. Ps_ Vernette is Covid-conscious and vaccinated.

Our incredibly wonderful, outstanding nanny, Naz is going to be available in late September. We feel so lucky and blessed to have found Naz to take care of our son, who is now 16 months old. We truly feel so grateful to have her in our lives. Our particular situation has changed so she is looking for a new family. (This had nothing to do with her!) She has an extraordinarily big heart and a really special warmth about her. She is exceptionally sweet, loving, patient, kind, honest, reliable, flexible, easygoing, helpful, punctual, friendly, and devoted. She and our son love each other so much. He is always so excited to see her when she walks in the door and we can tell that they have such a great time together. She constantly reads to him, sings to him, hugs him, plays games with him, takes him to classes, takes him to the playground and on walks, and lets us know whenever he does something new/exciting or if there’s anything she’s concerned about. She is super nurturing and always gives our son her undivided attention, and she’s never distracted by her phone. She has a positive attitude, laughs and smiles often and easily, and has been a true pleasure to have around our home. She has so much experience with kids, having worked for many families, each for many years at a time – and that experience comes across in how well she takes care of our son. As new parents, we’ve learned so much from her! She keeps our home tidy and does our son’s laundry too. I work from home in our apartment and she’s always made that work smoothly. When we were interviewing her, we called her references and they were all in strong agreement that she is uniquely fantastic…we couldn’t agree more. She is also Covid vaccinated and boosted. We are going to miss her terribly and we will definitely be keeping in touch with her. We would really love to help her find a great family who will love her as much as we do. She’s looking for a full-time position, ideally in Manhattan starting in late September/early October and ideally with a newborn/baby.

It is with great privilege and gratitude I write this post in the hopes of helping my wonderful nanny find a great family to work for. Maria came to work for us full-time in 2016 shortly after the birth of our first child. We interviewed quite a few applicants prior. Maria has been the nanny for my girl, who is 5 years old, and my little boy, who is 4 years old. Our kids are starting full-time classes in September. Maria is trustworthy, punctual, responsible, reliable, warm and engaging. As we have come to learn over nearly 6 years and two children, we chose the right person. She has always maintained the highest standard of care and safety for our kids. She remains alert and undistracted outdoors with the kids and engaged and proactive while inside. She's followed through on everything we've asked of her and has always been there when we needed her. Our kids love her and are crestfallen that the time has come for her to move on. It's been a genuine pleasure to know her as a person, and we count ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had her help caring for our kids. She is truly a gentle and good-natured soul, and we are all the better for it. We hope that you consider Maria to take care of your children. They will be in good hands! Please feel free to reach out to us after you've talked with Maria and connected with her if you have any questions. It will be a pleasure for me to share with you more details about her.

Marcie has been such a bright light in our children's lives over the last 5 years - we were devastated to leave her when we moved across the country. She has the magic touch with babies and was always able to create consistent schedules while maintaining a sense of adventure and fun. Marcie loves to be out and about - she took my boys to explore Central Park almost daily. She took them to reading classes at the library, playdates at the park, and on adventures to new places. Above all, she adored them and treated them like her own. She was firm and taught them boundaries and respect while bringing a sense of humor and playfulness to each day. Her energy level is also off the charts! She would run races with my boys, play on the floor with them, and be up for anything. Marcie has only worked for a handful of families over the last 30 years because she has stayed with each one for as long as they could keep her. We are still heartbroken over losing her, but we know another family will be lucky to get her!

An amazing nanny is available!! Shanta is looking for a new family starting in October as I have decided to stop working and will no longer need full-time help. Shanta has truly been invaluable to our family! She is extremely loving and so sweet -- I always felt like my boys were in safe and caring hands. Shanta is very reliable and capable. All of the boys' meals were prepared -- from first starting solids to toddler meals. She is very protective and watchful when at the park or in our building's playroom. Shanta takes her job seriously -- she has been a nanny for many years. Both of my boys truly love being with her -- I feel like she has been part of our family! Shanta is great with young babies and toddlers (my kids are still young-ish, so I cannot speak to big kids). We will always be grateful to Shanta for all she has done for our family and will miss her immensely!

I feel like I won the lottery when I hired Gloria to care for my son - she is that good. She especially excels with newborns by expertly taking care of them in a loving but structured manner. She is a professional and a disciplinarian without ever having to raise her voice. As a former educator, Gloria always teaches and sings while getting the newborn outside, stimulating all the child's senses. She is so loving and caring. I know a child always feels safe and cared for in her presence. She is always on time, never distracted and willing to do what it takes to ensure your child receives what he needs while you are not there to care for him. I highly recommend Gloria!!!!

WONDERFUL NANNY AVAILABLE in Manhattan! We are posting on behalf of our wonderful nanny Bernice. We are incredibly sad to be parting ways with her — she really is the perfect nanny! We are moving out of state in September, so Bernice will then be available to start with a new family. Bernice is kind, compassionate, reliable, and extremely supportive of first-time parents. She arrives early every morning, is extremely hard-working, and does not rush out the door at the end of the day. She keeps my 14-month-old daughter so busy throughout the day and always ensures she stays on her schedule. Bernice is very respectful of our parenting style and always honors our requests. Bernice is looking to work in Manhattan and is flexible in terms of hours and days. She prefers to start with a baby or a young toddler. I could go on and on about how great Bernice is. Please reach out to Bernice directly or to me with any questions!

My lovely nanny, Fatou, has cared for my son since he was around 4 months old. She is warm, patient, energetic, and reliable. My son absolutely adores her, and we are devastated to say goodbye. However, my husband has been transferred abroad, and we will be leaving NY at the beginning of August. Therefore, I hope to assist as much as possible in her search for a great full-time live-out position. Fatou is extremely experienced with a very extensive resume. She's an incredible caretaker, who cooks delicious meals for my son and keeps his nursery clean and organized. But where Fatou really impresses is her dedication to my son's development, patiently teaching him and helping him reach various milestones. I should add that she is fluent in both English and French, and spends time speaking to my son in both languages. As a first-time mother, finding Fatou was truly a blessing. I've learned so much from her. She is always happy to give her input and guidance when asked without overstepping boundaries. Fatou has experience with a wide age range of children, starting from newborns to twins. Please feel free to contact me, as I am happy to provide a more in-depth reference. I also spoke with two of Fatou's previous employers before I hired her, who had nothing but complimentary things to say. She is a great find; any family would be lucky to have her!

Our incredible and beloved nanny Vanessa has cared for our sons as if they were her own since our oldest was a few months old.

Vanessa is very loving, trustworthy, dependable and instinctual when it comes to caring for our kids. In addition to organizing their play dates, preparing all of their meals, playing with them and taking them to and from activities, she also does laundry and light cleaning. Vanessa is a very dedicated and responsible employee who likes to stay busy and be as helpful as possible around the house. She is never on her phone for personal reasons and helps keep our kids off electronics. I would not hesitate to recommend her to care for your child.

It's with much pleasure that I'm able to recommend Liza. She helped me with my two daughters during the pandemic, and it was a joy having her here. Liza consistently arrived at our home on time, ready to engage with our kids, with a smile on. She’s kind, compassionate, caring and always ready to help. My children really looked forward to spending time with Liza. She still comes around once in a while to say hello and spend time with the girls. They created an amazing bond, and I’m very grateful for her and all the help she provided during those hard months we had during the pandemic. Liza is certified as a baby nurse, in CPR and First Aid, in addition to her genuine compassion and natural talent in childcare. If you choose to hire Liza, you can be confident that you're getting one of the best nannies around. Certainly, I miss having her around more often and the many positive aspects of her presence to our home. We are happy to see that she is doing well, and we have peace knowing that Liza’s talents and gifts are bringing balance to other households. The Lima family highly recommends Liza as a caretaker for any child/children. Peace of mind is priceless, and Liza is the greatest investment. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions about Liza and our experiences with her. Sincerely, Gabrielle Lima

Our wonderful, cherished nanny, Gloria, has been a bright light in our lives ever since she started caring for our daughter when she was six months old. She is extremely loving, trustworthy, intelligent, creative, responsible, punctual, flexible, and willing to do whatever you ask of her to help you and your family. Gloria has a lot of experience caring for newborns, babies, and toddlers, with a wealth of knowledge about each stage of development. She can help with anything-- from tactical issues like acid reflux, teething, potty training, and nap schedules to more developmental learning like tummy time and motor skill development, encouraging speech, and teaching her how to help around the house. She is flexible with scheduling and very adaptable to meet the family's needs. Gloria can easily carry a car seat, heavy stroller, and baby bag. She loves to go for walks and do age-appropriate activities, like encouraging our daughter during music class, going to the playground, and visiting the library. She used to be a nurse and has a Montessori teaching background, evident in every interaction she has with our daughter -- treating each moment as a learning and teaching opportunity. Under Gloria's guidance and care, we have seen our daughter blossom into a healthy, spirited, smart, and social little girl. We would NEVER want to let Gloria go, and we want to help her find the right family. Gloria is truly one of a kind. She is professional, establishes a healthy routine, and is not rigid. She is extremely health conscious, takes hygiene seriously, and is fully vaccinated. She knows how to listen to the child's needs and, at the same time, follow the parent's instructions. We respect her knowledge and expertise. When she offers her help, she is very respectful and thoughtful. When you meet Gloria, you will instantly fall in love with her as you witness how your child and she bond. ***PLEASE NOTE: MANHATTAN/BROOKLYN ONLY. LOOKING FOR CHILDREN <1 YEAR.***

After 3 amazing years we will be moving on from our wonderful nanny, Nan. Our daughter starts a full-time 3's program in September, and we no longer need full-time care. It's a sad day, but super exciting too! She gets to join another family and sprinkle some amazing love and help! Nan joined us when our daughter was just 3 months old. She came to us from my dear friend who worked with her and her 2 babes from birth to 4 and 7. Nan is amazing with babies, toddlers and children of all ages. She is reliable, has wonderful love to give and truly enjoys working with families to bring up the best human beings you can :). She has been trained by the best - her mom, her aunt, and her sister all have cared for many families! She's the real deal!! She believes in keeping it simple. She will get them outside every day (sun, rain and snow!), loves connecting and building play groups that continue to evolve, values a good diet, keeps them in check with good routines and habits and is a true partner to any parent. I have learned more from Nan than anyone else in this journey of parenting. She has been a GREAT partner on many topics along the way. She is looking to start sometime after 10/15 through early November. Would love to work a 4-day work week with some flexibility if you do have the need for 5 days. Wants to be in the Brooklyn area (loves Dumbo!)

Her love for children is very apparent as she devotes her time to playing and teaching the children she works with. She is able to help with light house cleaning and food preparation.

Nicole is caring, engaging and responsible and has been a blessing for our daughter, who is now 8 months old. During their time together, our daughter has become much more vocal and active. She even greets Nicole with a smile and applause each morning. Nicole is very punctual and helped us get our daughter on a schedule with naps and meals. She also introduced her to new foods, prepping meals and ensuring that our daughter was exposed to different foods slowly. She is very knowledgeable and has experience with children of all ages. She also adapted very easily to our daughter's sleep routines without pushing alternative methods, though she is well-versed in different types of training. She plans fun-filled routines with outings to the park and trips to the library, helping our daughter experience new things as she discovers the world around her. We highly recommend Nicole to any family looking for a wonderful nanny.

If you are seeking a nanny for your infant in Manhattan/BK, look no further. Pauline is amazing with infants. She has cared for my daughter from 9 months up to 3.5 years. Now that we're finally ready to put our daughter into Pre-K, it's sadly time to part with her nanny. Pauline is always on time, reliable, and cares for your child as you would. She's never on her phone. Whenever Pauline takes my daughter to the playground or out for walks, she is 100% vigilant, responsible, and careful, only to let my child engage in age-appropriate activities. She cooks for my daughter, does her dishes, puts away her laundry, makes sure she finishes her meals, etc. Pauline isn't the type of nanny to sit around; she is continually busy interacting with my daughter. Pauline is based in Brooklyn and specifically seeks a Manhattan/BK-based job. You will be so glad you hired the most responsible nanny to care for your precious little one.
