Phen is the very best - completely reliable, excellent judgment, positive and upbeat, gentle and kind. Phen helped raise our daughter beginning when she was 4 months old, and was 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 was 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 took our daughter on many excursions in addition to regular trips to the playground. Through the years, many other parents 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 hope she can find another family to help as much as she helped us!

Tara has been caring for my daughter since she was 4 months old. When my husband and I first met Tara we were impressed by her professionalism. She is a career nanny who has cared for newborns to school age children for over 20 years. As new parents we were often clueless and Tara has been a wonderful resource for us. She has helped us introduce our daughter to solid foods; establish a daily routine; and prepare us for anticipated milestones. She is absolutely wonderful with our daughter—she is caring, entertaining, loving and playful. Our daughter is always happy to see her and she keeps her very safe. She is incredibly reliable—often showing up a few minutes early! We are only saying goodbye to Tara because we are relocating—otherwise we would have hoped she’d be part of our family for a long time. She is looking for a full-time position, Monday through Friday, in Manhattan only. She will be a great addition to your family as she has been to ours.

Don't Overthink It - Mary is here to help you and your family. She is the real deal and a true delight. Mary has worked with my family as a full-time caregiver for 6 years and in a part-time capacity for over 16 years. In that time, she’s proven to be an exceptional, responsible nanny, babysitter and loved member of the family. She started working five days per week when my son as an infant while I was working a full-time demanding job. She was extremely reliable and proved to have excellent instincts while managing the schedule of an active child. Mary is very knowledgeable in all aspects of child-care; potty-training, feeding, first-aid, play-time, reading and discipline. Mary was in the park daily with my son and was skilled in setting up playdates with other nannies. She limits television time and loves reading stories and trips to libraries and museums. She’s mature and calm and can navigate the City very well. She’s familiar with all of the latest baby and toddler classes. She is also a pleasure to work with because she has a great sense of humor and a warm personality (a definite plus for those moms who have struggled with no-so-friendly nannies in the past). Over the years, Mary has cared for my two children for two to three days at a time when my husband and I were out of town. I’d like to stress that she’s consistently punctual and reliable, which is critical for working mothers. Since I now have an 19 year old, I’ve worked with many caregivers and I can honestly say that Mary is the most experienced and trustworthy one I’ve encountered. My children adored her and other moms would often tell me they wanted a nanny just like Mary! Feel free to contact her directly at (917) 532-8817 .

Parent Reference

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

Alisha has been with us for the past year and a half, and in a very short amount of time became a integral member of our family, loved by my 2 yr old son and my 3 year old daughter. She is rock upon which my husband and I could depend on to make sure our household was running smoothly and serenely ( a big change for us!). In a perfect world I would not have to write this and she would be with us forever. She is a role model, for me and my children. Her love and care for them is only exceeded by her exactitude and attention to every detail necessary to make them safe, happy and content and me, relaxed, knowing that they are in the best hands. Every meal is thought out, diaper bags fully packed, activities crafted around learning, delight and hitting those all important milestones. She spontaneously organized playdates to ensure my son had more fun on the playground. Her background is in childcare and her experience with young children is extensive, and it shows in how easily she talks to them, teaches them and makes friends with them. My son and daughter absolutely adore her. She is responsible, punctual, an excellent planner, a fastidious caretaker and will bring joy and order to your house. She is flexible and understanding and will put the children first. She is fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and observes proper protocol. She would like to work for a family with an infant in Brooklyn starting in January 2022. Her hours at our home are 9 am to 6 pm and those suite her well but she could start a little earlier in the morning if required. On occasion she babysits for us on a Friday night or the weekend for additional pay. If you would like to call me or Alisha to discuss your needs, please don't hestitate to reach out.

Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only

Parent Reference

After 1.5 years together, we are parting ways with our wonderful nanny, Rhonda, because we are sending our daughter, Maya, to daycare in the new year when she returns 2. We are hoping that Rhonda will find a great fit with another Brooklyn family. Rhonda prefers working with infants, newborn to 3 months and up. Rhonda joined us in July 2020 after Maya turned six months during an uncertain and scary time for anyone with a young family. Rhonda was a great fit for us right away, with a loving, caring, and trustworthy approach, and a clear and direct communication style, which was especially important given our health concerns. Rhonda is an experienced caretaker and nanny, with over 15 years of experience in New York, caring for children from infancy through toddler and beyond. Rhonda is a mother herself, though her children are adults now. In the early days, Rhonda helped us establish a consistent nap and meal schedule for our daughter, handling the transition to early solid foods, sleep training, and eventually dropping naps. Rhonda helped keep our daughter’s room and play areas tidy, cleaned bottles and other baby food items, did Maya’s laundry, as well as basic meal prep for her meals. Ever since our daughter started walking — then running, then scooting, then climbing — Rhonda’s visited dozens of playgrounds and parks all around Brooklyn, taking Maya to regular music classes and play dates. Our daughter adores Rhonda and her boundless energy. As an experienced nanny and parent herself, Rhonda brought deep knowledge and know-how to the job, helping us through several important transitions and stages of development. Rhonda always respected and supported our plans and approach as parents, but also knew when to suggest an alternative. Rhonda knows when to be firm, when and how to set boundaries, and, importantly for our active toddler, how to redirect. Most of all, Rhonda’s been the perfect caretaker for Maya during what’s been a challenging year and a half. With two parents working from home and many indoor venues like libraries and play spaces unavailable for most of the year, Rhonda managed to keep Maya engaged and entertained for hours around our home, reading books, singing and playing music, playing games, or, when the weather permitted, spending time in parks and playgrounds in the neighborhood. She arranged outdoor playdates with other babies and toddlers. Rhonda comes on weekends from time to time and comes early or stays late when we need her. We’ve had to move around several times within Brooklyn this year due to unforeseen circumstances — in each new place, Rhonda’s learned the lay of the land, familiarizing herself with parks, playgrounds, stores, meeting other area nannies, etc. Rhonda is fully vaccinated (status shared with Rhonda’s permission) and is extremely health-conscious, regularly getting her flu shot every year, wearing masks indoors, avoiding crowded places, etc. We live at the edge of Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy, but since we’ve moved around several times this year, Rhonda is familiar with and open to working in several neighborhoods from Park Slope and Prospect Heights to Bed-Stuy and Fort Greene to Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights.

Eve has been with us for almost 3 years, since my daughter was 3. I'm a single mom and I honestly don't know how I would have managed these last few years without her help. My daughter adores Eve, she's great fun but strict when needed too. She has developed friendships with other nannies in the neighborhood enabling my daughter to have lots of playdates and time at the park. Eve is incredibly flexible, she comes early in the morning if needed and stays late at night if needed. Eve has stayed at my apartment with my daughter when I've needed to travel for work. She'll pick up groceries, she'll cook dinner, she'll throw in some laundry, she'll walk the dog around the block. She helps make our world go around! Now that my daughter is older, and I'm working from home more, I no longer need the same level of help and would love to find Eve a new family to work with.

This ad is truly bittersweet for me. Hazel has been my nanny for the last 1.5yrs and has become a member of the family. She is a wonderful, honest person who gives fair opinions. I value her experience with children, which enabled her to take care of my baby without much instruction. Hazel treats my baby like her own and looks out for all her needs, especially making sure she is safe. She teaches her manners, reads, and plays with her. She also established a nice routine for meals and naps very quickly. My baby is always happy to see Hazel. Not only does she take excellent care of my baby, Hazel is amazing in the house as well. She does laundry and cooks. Despite all the work she packs into the day, I always come home to a clean, tidy house. The kitchen is always thoughtfully put away without any dishes waiting to be washed. The list of praise could go on and on. It is with great regret that I have to let Hazel go on to better things. My parents are retiring and taking over childcare duties (for only family is able to fill the shoes Hazel left behind). Hazel will be a blessing to any family.

Tay is amazing!!! She is full life and energy and she genuinely loves children! Tay was the first nanny we ever had and we were a bit anxious and nervous about finding someone who could trust and would take care for our children as we would. When Tay walked into our life our kids were 3 months old baby boy and 7yo boy. Tay jumped right in with the upmost patience and love. She handled our baby with a calm and understanding spirit and still had the energy to handle and help the oldest one with school activities. Tay enjoyed playing board games with our oldest son as well helped him with homework and even making new friends at the playground. While big boy was at school Tay would venture out to parks, libraries, museums and the zoo with the baby just to get him out of the house. While home Tay also prepared all of the kids meals (from puréed food to solid) and took care of their laundry as well. She made sure the house remained as tidy as possible by picking up toys and straightening up after play time. Tay also played a huge role in the baby’s early childhood development, by age 1 and a half, Tay had taught him how to count to 25, say his ABC’s as well as recognize all of his shapes. Tay is a leader in her own right. She has an amazing outgoing personality, is kind, respectful, very responsible, heirs on the side of caution and makes smart choices. Overall Tay is a great girl with a solid moral ethical foundation who genuinely loves children and her profession. We are beyond grateful for Tay’s love and involvement in our children’s lives.

Dolma Tshering was the nanny for our family from January 2016 to September 2021 – 5+ years! She was a trusted member of our household, and it is a big loss for us now that she is moving on. She kept our entire family sane during the roughest parts of the baby and toddler years and through the pandemic. I highly recommend Dolma to her new family. Personally, Dolma was an excellent guide to me during new motherhood. I could not have continued my job as a lawyer or functioned at the same high level without her steady hand, consistent approach, and obvious love and devotion to my son. I never worried about him when he was with her, even if I was traveling. She is a professional, who does her job at a high level. Dolma is easy to work with and will be a big asset to any family that she cares for. It is only because our son is going to school full time this fall that she is not staying on with us. She prefers to work “on the books”, which was important for our family. She is also vaccinated. Dolma went above and beyond when it came to caring for our son. She made sure that he ate well at all meals, and that he napped every day. Our son is an excellent napper - which we attribute to Dolma. When he\\'s not in school he still takes a nap at age 5 1/2! She cooked for our son when necessary. She was excellent at getting him on and sticking to a schedule. This made his life and ours easier and more peaceful. She also made sure that he got outside and was very good at finding and setting up play dates with other kids in the neighborhood. Dolma is prompt and was flexible with her schedule on the occasions when we asked her to come earlier or leave later. She is not on her phone when she is on duty. I appreciated this aspect of her care more and more as time went on. She only used her phone during nap time or when she was setting up play dates or taking an occasional call from her family. Our son did not watch television when she was taking care of him. She did an excellent job of keeping the house tidy and ensured that the toys were picked up when we get home. Dolma is hyper-vigilant when it comes to mask-wearing and any other risky situations. Our son wore a mask outside the house, including outdoors, whenever he was with her. I also appreciated her focus on safety at street crossings, on the playground, and around strangers. It is with the highest regard that I recommend her to her next family.

Our wonderful nanny, Debbie, is now available. She was a part of our family from when my twins were just three months old until COVID hit. We, unfortunately, left NYC thinking we'd return, but decided not to come back. Debbie knows New York well and easily arranges play dates and activities for our kiddos. She developed strong relationships with the staff at Union Square Play and other play spots around the city. She has endless energy and kept up with two crazy toddlers without complaint. She loved my boys like they were her own. I always knew I was leaving them in loving and capable hands. Debbie communicates well and stays in touch via text/pics/videos during the day. I think she is a great fit for a first time mom because Debbie's guidance and advice was invaluable. On a personal note, Debbie also became a very good friend to me and she is just a really lovely person. She has one elementary school aged daughter who is an absolute delight and a recently graduated son. Her strength as a mom herself is one of the things that drew me to her, initially.

She is especially good with newborns and handled newborn twins with ease. She is a professional and an expert disciplinarian without ever having to raise her voice.

Parent Reference

Carlin was our nanny for the past 4 years when our son was 3 years old and daughter was 8 years old. During the pandemic, we moved out of the city for 6 months. Carlin came with us during that time. When we returned back to the city this September, our children didn't need a nanny as we take care of all of the after school drop offs and pickups. Carlin is a very responsible, tons of energy and caring person. She was always on time and never late to work. She arranged playdates, trips to park, museums and around the neighborhood, along with help with homework. We often received compliments from other parents on how great Carlin was with our children and we always felt completely secure with leaving our children in Carlin's care. She is fully vaccinated for covid-19. We're happy to help her find the next family. Happy to do any reference calls.

SUPER NANNY AVAILABLE IN JANUARY. When Donna descended upon our lives 2.5 years ago, she made things better right from the start. She is an incredible nanny with more than 15 years experience. What sets her apart is that this is not just a job, she genuinely loves children and takes pride in raising them. It’s very evident with how much our children love and adore her and how much they’ve developed over the years. When Donna shows up at 7am my heart is instantly at ease. She handles hectic mornings with gusto and care. She makes sure our girls, 4 and 2 , get up on time, get dressed for school, and eat a well balanced breakfast before they head out the door. She is amazing with newborns, and is excellent at keeping them on schedule. On top of doing everything for the kids all day, she spoils us with her need to keep everything in her path clean and organized beyond what’s required. She does the whole family’s laundry only because she wants to, and has fixed countless holes and tears thanks to her love of sewing. She manages so many aspects of our lives, so it’s with great sadness to see her go. We moved from the UWS to the suburbs and she joined us for a few months (thankfully) to help us transition but our needs now require someone who can drive. She was with her previous family for 13 years and is still a part of their lives. She is truly a rare find. Donna would like to join a family specifically on the UWS, preferably with a newborn, but not a requirement. If she fits what you are looking for, lucky you! Feel free to contact me or Donna directly.

It is my pleasure to recommend Urila. Urila worked for me for almost six years in the role of a nanny. She cared for my three children starting when my oldest child was three months old. During her time with my family, Urila went above and beyond. She is motivated and took initiative to plan activities and play dates for my children ensuring that they were constantly engaged. Urila is highly motivated and works well independently with little direction needed. Urila relates to children of all ages. She seamlessly cared for my children through their different stages from infancy to elementary school age. She taught my children material in an age appropriate manner and captured their attention. She has a love of all children and often other moms would ask me if Urila would be able to supervise their children as well. Urila is reliable and trustworthy and hardly took any days off in almost 6 years. I could always count on her to be there. Additionally, I knew that my children were in great hands and was always at ease knowing that my kids were in Urila’s care. Any family would be extremely lucky to have Urila care for their children. Her love and dedication for children always shines through. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Parent Reference

Toñia is a skilled and loving caregiver with extensive experience, sound judgment, and a calm and steady presence. She has a particular talent with special needs and neurodiverse kids (but really, any family would be lucky to have her). The patience and caring she showed with our 2-year-old son, who had epilepsy as well as developmental delays and behavioral issues, was truly remarkable, and she helped him a tremendous amount in the time they had together. Just as remarkable, Toñia was the primary coordinator of our son's therapists and medical (and other) appointments, and not only took him to all his appointments but also took the initiative to arrange and take him to play dates as well as on outings farther afield (including the Bronx Zoo, Central Park carousel, and music classes). She also understands well and helped us navigate the Early Intervention and CPSE programs, and was a trusted resource and invaluable support for us as we dealt with a series of medical issues. Toñia was also wonderful with our 5-year-old daughter, and was always up for playing with and reading to her, in addition to providing her with gentle, yet firm guidance when needed. She has extensive experience caring for babies and school-aged kids, and previously worked for many years for a family with three young boys (including a set of twins). Toñia is a skilled communicator and Internet/research-savvy. She is also thoughtful, perceptive, reliable, punctual, and resourceful, and seamlessly integrated herself into our household. She is fully vaccinated, fluent in both English and Spanish, and is available immediately.

To put it simply, Gigi is the best nanny a family could hope for. It saddens me that we are moving and she cannot help raise our children more. She's caring and truly loves and understands children from a great background and typically stays with families for many years. She is very active, always taking our daughter outside to run and play and playing with her rather than sitting by the side and watching her or texting (the way a lot of nannies do). She's health concious and makes healthy meals for our daughter, and has been a great teacher to her of all things from counting to manners and beyond. Any family to work with her is truly lucky as beyond all the amazing skills and love she has for children she is a pleasure to be around.

She started with our family when my daughter was 2 weeks old.My children are now 12 and 13.As much as i like the full time help,I do not need it.From day one, Martha was the baby whisper. She had my children on schedule and was able to juggle their school pickups, sports and clubs as they get older.She did this all not only with organization, but also with kindness and so much love.Martha arrives early and when we needed her to stay late,she was always willing. She is extremely trustworthy and my children love and respect her.We are heartbroken to have her move on.In fact, the children cried the day i told them the news. You would be lucky to have Martha become part of your family. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions Best Carla.

--THE MOST LOVING NANNY AVAILABLE IN JANUARY— We are looking for a new home for our incredible nanny, Debbie. Debbie is caring, responsible, hard-working, positive and overwhelmingly full of love. She has been with our family since my daughter was 8 weeks old (now 5 ½) and has truly guided her with knowledge, good-judgement, support and the utmost love and care. We consider Debbie part of our family, but our needs have changed and we are hoping to help her find another family that we know will love her as much as we do. In all the years we have known her, she has never arrived without a smile or a hug for my daughter. She is always ready to dive in and take initiative as a contributor to our family. When my daughter was an infant, Debbie guided my husband and I to create a nurturing but structured environment for her (sleep schedules, delicious food, books, singing, etc!). We thought she was a wonderful nanny then, but as my daughter grew, she amazed us because she was always ready with the next phase. We credit Debbie for instilling in our daughter a naturally outgoing, friendly confidence. Even when my daughter moved on to school age, Debbie continued to initiate play dates, managed after school activities, etc. Throughout COVID, she was a lifesaver as she helped us all navigate the “new normal”. She helped my daughter with ZOOM school and would practice all the letters and numbers with her. To this day, I credit Debbie for my daughter being such a great writer. Additionally, Debbie is always attentive, unbelievably patient and inspires good behavior. She also has anticipated our needs as parents and has done so with generosity and care. She has made our lives easier and we knew we could always trust her to keep our daughter safe and secure. She has been a joy and a steadfast support for all of us. Debbie is extremely COVID safe/cautious and is fully vaccinated, having just recently taken her booster shot. I’d love to help her find a family where she could develop a long working relationship. She is most interested in staying on the UES and working with a newborn. I only have the highest recommendation for her!

We hired Alison to work as a live-in nanny at the end of August 2021. During her time with us, Alison has demonstrated tremendous responsibility in taking care of our daughter. Under her care, our daughter has learned to clean up after herself and wash her hands, as needed. Alison made the bath time ritual very delightful for our daughter by playing and singing to her. On the safety side, we could not possibly dream of a better nanny as Alison is known for her vigilance and her safety-oriented ways. She was very watchful when our daughter was in her care. Unfortunately, we live in the United States primarily for employment-related reasons. We might be deployed to another country soon because such is the nature of our job. Otherwise, we would have loved to keep Alison in our employment. But given those circumstances, we have to end her employment with us. Finally, we should also mention that Alison has provided us great help with light household chores. She helped us keep the house clean and tidy, and for that we are immensely grateful. We would highly recommend Alison to your family as she is trustworthy and great with children. Please feel free to contact us for any questions that you may have.

Aleema is an excellent caregiver and has many years of experience with children. I have been working from home for the past ten years and had the pleasure of working with Aleema after my daughter was born four years ago. She has been taking care of my daughter from birth and has always been calm, patient, reliable, loving and attentive with my daughter. She implemented a steady routine and gained her trust with affectionate communication and play as well as exposing her to activities such as art, song and dance. Aleema would also travel to kid-friendly parks, and set up playdates. Socially and emotionally, my daughter displays a great amount of stability because of Aleema’s reliability and presence in her life. Aleema has also been a beacon of light to me while I worked from home with a demanding job. She is always on time, pleasant and positive when she arrives, and she immediately takes over. She is always very organized with arranging activities and looking after my daughter’s clothes, snacks and toys. I love overhearing them chatting and playing, her kind and fun demeanor results in laughter and thoughtful conversations. Aleema is flexible with timing and working extra hours. She is a family oriented person and has decided to move to NYC so that she can be with her son who is presently studying at Stony Brook University. She’s an amazing nanny and I fully support her decision and I’d like to help her find a full-time job with a great family. She has been indispensable to us, and will be to future families. I’m happy to recommend Aleema and answer any questions.

We unequivocally recommend Isidora for anyone looking for the best nanny out there. We have been so lucky to have had Isidora (or Isi as our toddler says) as a full-time nanny for our daughter for over a year. She is truly a “baby-whisperer” and as first time parents during a pandemic, she has been such a blessing to our family. In addition to being responsible, always on time and super reliable, she’s also an amazingly loving and patient care taker. She helped us organize a schedule for our baby and took her on daily outings to the park, playground, library, and outdoor play dates. They read books, sing songs, and play together. Her positive energy and warm personality are a pleasure to be around and have helped our girl to flourish. I wish we could keep her on but we are starting preschool. Isidora is fully vaccinated and Covid-conscientious, extremely reliable and all-around wonderful. Any family would be lucky to hire her. We highly recommend her with no reservations. Please reach out to her directly at 347-813-9745 and feel free to reach out to me as well at 954-471-8773. Thanks, Jessica
