Parent Reference

Shirley is loving, thoughtful, flexible, and reliable. Our children are happy, polite, and thriving in her care. She's become family, and will be the only nanny you will ever need. Shirley started with us when our oldest was about year old and helped us tremendously as we brought our second baby home. She cares not only for the children, but for the whole family. Our home (and I) felt more peaceful and put together just having her around. She’s reliable and understanding, and has stuck by us through thick and thin. I received 3 GLOWING recommendations for Shirley before we brought her on. Shirley is an experienced educator. She will help you keep your children engaged when home from school this fall! She will cook beautiful meals (enough for the family), do the kids laundry, pick up around the house, and is very flexible to the family’s needs. She was also wearing a mask long before COVID-19 and she knows the need for cleanliness and physical distancing. Prior to the pandemic, she was very active with the other nannies, children, and community organizations in our neighborhood and picked up our daughter every day from school. Your children will always be kept safe in her care. I’ve also always worked from home, so she knows how to manage to the kids while parents are working. She's a kind soul and a joy to be around. Your family will be well cared for with Shirley!

July 12, 2020 To the family considering Isidora Avalos (our beloved Isi): I’m tempted to be selfish, to not inform you of how truly wonderful Isi is – this way we could keep her nannying gifts all to ourselves. But, unfortunately, our child has become so busy with 1st Grade, after-school activities, and play dates that we’ve outgrown the need for a nanny. For over 5 years Isi has been an integral part of the family raising my daughter, Bayla, to be the happy, active, caring kid she is thus far. Since Bayla was 6 months old Isi has been providing loving, educational, adventurous, reliable care. Come to think of it, not just for Bayla, but for our whole extended family. Including tender care for our aging dog through his passing 2 years ago. Isi is the type of caregiver who doesn’t just read to Bayla, she creates a cozy, interactive, learning time with books. Doing voices, teaching words in English and in Spanish while still giving Bayla room to identify pictures, letters and numbers for herself. Isi doesn’t hesitate to roll around on the floor playing “sick” when Bayla is imagining she’s a doctor for the umpteenth time. The relaxed, fun reading with Isi has become even more important because as Bayla grows-up we’re discovering that she has a language arts-based learning disability. Isi’s unconditional support has helped Bayla confront her special learning needs with confidence, not fear. Isi is the type of caregiver who can orchestrate long, joyful days with Bayla assuming the responsibility of full-time parent while I’m am on shift. Her day with us typically lasts 15 hours. During that time Isi independently navigates Bayla’s playdates, playground romps, in-home time with dolls, trucks, kitchen and other toys, artsy projects, meals, light housework, laundry, personal hygiene and bedtime. Always punctual, often early, Isi also stays late without a peep of complaint (as often happens since I work in a Pediatric ER.) She asks for help when she needs it and takes instruction well, though she rarely needs that - keeping Bayla on a more consistent playing, learning, eating, bathing, etc. schedule than I (her mother) have ever managed to. She is a loving and fun addition to our family and always professional and handling infection control during the pandemic well. If our family schedule hadn’t shifted to eliminate the need for additional care we\\'d be moving forward with Isi without reservation. Don’t hesitate to call or write me if you want to know more or need specific questions answered.

Kim is an amazing and loving nanny. She was with our family for 14 years, until long past the point our son really needed a nanny because she was such a part of the family. She was very engaging with our son, taking him on play dates, to the library, museums, zoos and parks. She would read with him and help teach him numbers and letters. I was a partner at a major consulting firm and never had to worry about rushing home because she was very flexible. Other parents would stop me on the street and tell me how loving and careful Kim was with our son. Any family will be very lucky to get Kim as a nanny.

Violet came into our lives this winter and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Her warm disposition, loving nature and strong work ethic drew us in immediately. She was very open to learning how I liked things done and open to sharing her opinions whenever I asked for it, without feeling forceful at all. She came in my door every morning 10 minutes early, and always with a huge smile on her face so excited to see my son (as well as my pup who always greeted her). Violet was never on her phone during the day or watched TV, her entire focus was on our son. Violet would constantly ask if I had feedback for her as she truly wanted to foster an open and honest relationship with us. We sent her out on activities and she found some of her own to keep her and my son busy (pre-Covid) She was always extremely flexible (able to come early or stay late if asked) which was something important to my family and our work schedules. At the end of the day, she was an all star nanny and I wish we were able to keep her but unfortunately I was laid off due to COVID! I know from the moment she walked into my house my husband and i both knew she was the one (after a VERY extensive interview process). She is really all you could want in a nanny to watch over your children, I trust her implicitly and hope she finds another wonderful family to join. Below is her previous employer's recommendation from this site who Violet was with for 5 years and prior to that she was with a family for over 20 years! Feel free to text or call Violet directly to get in touch or reach out to me directly with any questions. Best, Andrea 781-789-4358

If you are looking for an incredibly kind, generous, giving, and caring nanny, then you want Jacki! She has literally been our saving grace with our girls! If we weren't relocating for a job, she would still be with us. Jacki joined our family in October 2018 when our twin girls were five months old and has been with us for almost 2 years. Her ability to love, care for, and manage the children is incredible. Jacki came to us through a recommendation from a family who also loved her dearly! We interviewed many other nannies and Jacki had such a presence and calmness that we knew she would be perfect for our girls. She truly loves children as her own. Jacki is patient and knowledgeable and we were very quickly put at ease seeing how well Jacki managed the madness of twins. And she did so with a smile on her face. Jacki is also amazing at listening and following schedules that are already in place as well as quickly adapting to new/changing schedules. In addition, she is very capable (because of her experience) to help develop a schedule for you. We love that Jacki is proactive. We so appreciated that she researched activities (both free and paid) for the girls. They very quickly were involved in a daily play group and making friends. And Jacki is mindful of education/milestone growth and helps facilitate activities and/or environments for them to develop. Lastly, Jacki is great around the house. Making dinners for the kids and the family. She is always tidying up, taking care of laundry, and even open to running last minute errands for mom and dad. She is reliable, trustworthy, and responsible. As we mentioned before she was a saving grace and someone who we trusted 100% everyday with our girls. She has a joy and energy that is noticeable the minute you meet her. We loved how much she played with the girls. (That was very important for us that we have a nanny who would get down on the ground and play, read, and talk with the girls.) BONUS: Jacki is fluent in French and English so we loved that our girls were learning a second language. Again, we cannot recommend Jacki enough. She truly is a gift to any family.

Dee has been wonderful for our 4 year old daughter since she was 3 months old. She has been our full-time Nanny and is very warm and loving. We no longer need full-time childcare, so would love to find Dee another wonderful family. She prefers starting with children from infants so they develop a relationship early. Dee plays with the children, takes them to the park, around the city to activities & school, reads to them and takes care off all their needs. Dee has over 21 years of childcare experience and was with us almost 5 years, and her last family over 5 years. I found her on this website when my daughter was born. Dee comes from a large family and has 3 grown kids and 13 grandkids, so is a warm and energetic person. Please call me for more information.

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, we are deeply saddened to lose our truly amazing nanny, Maimouna. For the last two years, she has brought such incredible warmth and spirit into our home and brings out the very best of our four-year-old daughter each day. She is loved and adored by the children and teachers at our preschool, the doormen in our building, and the other nannies in the neighborhood. She has the warmest smile and the biggest heart! Maimouna has worked with children of all ages in both a home and academic setting. She speaks to our daughter in both French and English. They go to classes, museums, parks, and libraries in our neighborhood on the UWS. She is highly energetic, and radiates genuine warmth. She has made so many friends and sets up regular playdates, sending us photos and videos of their adventures every day. She is trustworthy, devoted and selfless, but also has a great no-nonsense approach to discipline that we love. She cooks healthy, delicious meals for our daughter, has mastered potty training, and has encouraged confidence while also reinforcing manners. We are heartbroken to lose such a vital, trustworthy part of the family, but we want to make sure that she finds the right next one!

Amaris is an exceptional nanny looking to join a new family. Super reliable and unbelievably trustworthy. Fantastic references and will exceed any and all expectations as a caregiver for your child/children. Amaris joined our family when our oldest daughter was 3 months old. She made our daughter feel special and cared for deeply. At that time, as a new working mother, Amaris allowed me to go to work everyday knowing that our daughter was in the best hands and being taken care of by someone who would keep her safe and have her feel loved. Fast forward two years later, our family expanded with a set of twins. Her calming presence juxtaposed with boundless energy was just what we needed. She cared for the twins and our older daughter with a loving outlook. She juggled the needs of all three and every day I would come home to happy, bathed and fed kids in a tidy home allowing me and my husband the ability to play and bond with them until bedtime. She taught them manners and respect for others and how to have fun. She was with us for 8 years until our kids were in full time school. My children love and respected Amaris and to this day miss her and speak of her fondly. Amaris was a wonderful addition to our family and I'm sure will be for the next family that is lucky enough to have her.

Exceptional nanny looking to join a new family. Super reliable and unbelievably trustworthy. Fantastic references and will exceed any and all expectations as a caregiver for your child/children. Available late August / early September. When I shared the news that we would be moving to Miami by early August, the look of shock on Seeta's face pierced my heart. For it wasn't the news that her 6.5 year tenure with us would be coming to an end, but rather the reality that she would soon have to part from the girls she so dearly loves and treats as her own. Seeta joined our family on a bitterly cold day in January 2014 when my eldest daughter Amanda was five months. Seeta was actually my second nanny, the first shall we say just wasn't the right fit. What happened was that my mother-in-law who is one of the kindest people I know (I definitely hit a home run in that department) made me realize that me angst towards the first nanny wasn't unrealistic expectations as a first time mother - she just wasn't good at her job, plain and simple. The reason I'm sharing this is because when Seeta joined I quickly realized how good a nanny can be, that my expectations could be met and exceeded. From that first day I knew that her calming presence juxtaposed with boundless energy was just what we needed. Even when we learned that my daughter would need a second major surgery - her first was at four months - she was there with me at nearly every doctor's appointment, and took her alone to countless PT sessions. When that dust settled about 10 months later my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My mom's decline was rapid and unexpected, but I was comforted by the fact that Seeta was home taking care of my daughter while I spent countless hours at MSK. Fast forward a year and a half later, we welcomed our second daughter. For all the love she bestowed on our eldest I couldn't imagine she could do the same for our youngest. But I was quickly proven wrong. That love is something that I am grateful for and will do everything and anything to keep it going strong for years to come. We have been so, SO incredibly fortunate to have Seeta in our lives and any family would be so lucky to have her.

Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only

Parent Reference

Our family is moving from NYC and one of our priorities is to help our amazing nanny, Doma, find her next placement in NYC (preferably in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens). Doma takes care of our two children, a 4.5 year old boy and a 20 month old girl, and has been with us since our son was 4 months old and my wife returned to work. We were extremely lucky to have been introduced to Doma through a mutual acquaintance early in our search and we are hoping to pay it forward to another deserving family. Every Monday morning, I can’t tell who is happier to see her – the kids or us parents! All joking aside, Doma is more than a nanny to us, she has become an extension of our family. Over her 4 years with us, she not only took care of our children, but she also helped me through two very complicated post-delivery recoveries, not because we asked her to but because she cared and wanted to. More topically, during these unprecedented times with COVID-19, Doma has stood by our side and supported our crazy work-from-home schedules, Zoom classes and modified outdoor activities for the kids. Even though it was not part of her job, and in addition to her nanny duties, she took on being a teacher and doing daily lessons and worksheets with our son. She was happy to work together with us to create an approach that worked because she know it was important and valuable our son. I cannot emphasize enough how invaluable this support has been for two working parents. Doma starts each day with an amazing attitude and a warm smile. She is one of the calmest, most patient people we know and brings a joy and warmth in her interactions that clearly shows her love for children. For us parents, she is also very hardworking, responsible and organized in her approach. In short, we trust Doma implicitly and the peace of mind that we have in knowing she is taking care of our kids is a source of great comfort. In our neighborhood, we have had neighbors, doormen and other moms who have observed Doma with the kids come up to us to tell how wonderful she is with our kids and us how lucky we are to have her. Doma has a strong work ethic and a deep sense of responsibility to our children and family. She is always on time and promptly lets us know in the rare instances that she is ever running late. She ensures that the kids’ bedroom, bathroom and play area are always clean and tidy every day and left in great condition. She is also very open to feedback and takes it seriously. For example, we told her early on that we wanted to have primarily homemade food prepared for the kids and from day 1, she ensured that the kids ate a varied diet of healthy, freshly prepared meals, from pureed veggies to roasted chicken and vegetables. Another example is that we wanted early and frequent reading to be a big part of the kids’ routine, and in addition to our efforts, Doma always takes time to sit down and read with the children on a daily basis. She loves to engage the kids with art, music and active play and, like her menu, continues to evolve these activities as the kids grow bigger. Doma also understands the importance of social interaction for the kids and is constantly setting up new playdates, recommending new classes and finding fun things to do in the neighborhood. Despite her demanding schedule, when she’s not running around to classes, preparing food or cleaning up, Doma finds genuine joy in playing and interacting with the kids. Many times we have come home early or unexpectedly and found her laughing or singing or playing with the kids. At the end of each day, she makes sure to give one of us a status report on what the kids ate, how their classes / playdates went and any other noteworthy news. Ideally we would love to take Doma with us, but she is a true NYC nanny and has roots and a life in the city that make such a commute impractical. Doma’s impact on our children and on us will be felt for years to come. We have a great relationship with her based on trust, mutual respect and communication. We want to help her find a great NYC family that will welcome her into their lives.

Shanta worked for our family for over 8 months, including during the hardest months of the COVID lockdown. We have 3 children spanning from preschooler to middle schooler. Shanta was responsible for childcare for our youngest child, as well as for cooking, laundry and light housekeeping. She got our child ready for school, picked him up, and took him to afterschool activities, the playground etc. She also took responsibility for meals and laundry for all our kids, as well as shopping for groceries while our kids were at school. A few months into her work with us, NYC went into lockdown, and Shanta transitioned into full-time childcare for our youngest. As both parents transitioned to work from home, Shanta had primary responsibility for supporting our youngest through remote learning. This was not easy, and Shanta worked patiently and diligently to support him and encourage him to participate in online classes. She worked with him on assignments provided by his teachers, and helped him learn his letters and numbers. When going outdoors was impossible, she played games with him indoors, found creative ways for him to get his exercise , and kept him entertained and engaged. She also baked delicious treats for the whole family like banana bread and gingerbread men. Shanta has over 2 decades of childcare experience for children of all ages and came to us highly recommended by families she worked with for many years. We are relocating temporarily from the city and cannot keep Shanta and are hoping she finds a caring family to work with.

Our family has decided to move out of NYC and our beloved nanny of almost 5 years cannot make the move with us. Donna is exceptional in every way. She has truly become part of our family and we are committed to supporting her to find another long term placement. She is looking for a role in Brooklyn or Manhattan. Donna is a second mother to both of my children (4.5 and 2). When she walks through the door in the morning, the kids run to and smother her with hugs and kisses. She started with us right before I returned to work 3 short months after my first child was born. I trust her implicitly-- and that's not easy. Both of my children have unique, severe, life threatening food allergies. On top of that, my son has asthma that needs to be controlled. She has always taken the utmost care to take every precaution, and seamlessly learned how to administer epi-pens and nebulizers should the need arise. Donna accompanied my daughter to physical therapy, and attended various doctors appointments when I wasn't able to go. She always took diligent notes and relayed information with ease. Donna shows a tremendous amount of initiative, reliability and adaptability. She researched all the available free classes and opportunities in the neighborhood and took ownership of developing age-appropriate daily schedules for both children. She built relationships with other my son\'s teachers, neighborhood moms/nannies, formed play groups, and scheduled play-dates in the park. She even coordinated birthday parties for both of my children! Donna has taken 2 sick days in the past 5 years. After my daughter was born, she easily transitioned from a nanny of one child to a nanny of two. During COVID, Donna has adapted to our new schedule/lifestyle much better than I have! She has taken on the additional responsibility of supporting our son with logging on to his digital classes and supports him with his school work. She has invented games/activities to keep the children engaged and has supported limiting screen time. In addition, she takes every precaution when taking the children out for walks. Donna consistently makes nutritious meals, tidies the kitchen/children\'s bathroom/children\'s room/play area, does their laundry, organizes their drawers/closets. In addition, she takes it upon herself to do extra work around the house like folding our laundry and making our bed. Beyond the support she brings to our family, Donna has helped to raise my children to be good people. She\'s taught them to be kind and respectful, to clean up, to dress and to advocate for themselves. Whenever I pick up my son from school or take my kids to local parks parents/teachers recognize my children come up, introduce themselves and praise Donna for being an amazing person and caretaker. The same can be said for the neighbors in our building. I can\'t tell you how wonderful it feels to know that your children are in great, loving, capable hands. We have been so fortunate to have Donna in our lives.

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

Writing to share that our fabulous nanny is available for full-time hire. We are so, so sad to have to give her up - we've been staying with family in Boston since March due to Covid and have just decided we will likely be staying for the foreseeable future. We have been paying her since then to make sure we could hold onto her since we love her so much! But sadly the time has come that it make sense for us to part ways. She has been with us since our 18mo old was 3mo, and came highly recommended from her previous employers. She made my transition back to work very easy, always sending pictures multiple times per day, always telling us what she was doing, where she was going, and ensuring us that our daughter (who loves her!!) was being well looked after, nurtured, and enriched. She takes direction phenomenally well, was always punctual, and in general was just always lovely to be around and I enjoyed having her as part of our family! I'm so sad to have to write this but I'm happy that another family will get to enjoy her.

Parent Reference

We are a family of four living in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn. We hired Rena in November 2015 as a full-time nanny for our son, who was four months old at the time, and she has been working for our family ever since. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. As first time parents, we were naturally inexperienced, and we relied on Rena to help guide us. Rena had worked for several families before ours and she was able to share her expertise without ever sounding pushy or judgmental. She was calm and reassuring in some of our more difficult times as new parents. We added a daughter to our family in July 2017. Rena was not fazed. She managed to get a two-year-old and an infant out almost every single day, to the park, to their friends’ houses, and to various activities and play centers. She found other nannies in our neighborhood with children the same age as ours, which led to new friends and lots of play dates. She made sure there was plenty of play time outside the house every day without us ever having to ask. Thanks to her prior work with other families, Rena knew what to expect in our kids’ different developmental stages. She recommended an alphabet chart for our son(before it had even occurred to us he was ready for it), and worked with him every day until he knew it by heart. She suggested ingredients and equipment for the transition to solid foods. She sought out music and gym classes in the area at places like Kidville, NY Kids Club, etc. She kept our family’s schedule in her head and always got the kids to their classes on time. It was common for us to discover new developments and progress, from our children\'s grasp of colors, shapes and numbers to potty training to saying new words and phrases. Rena is generous with her time and energy. She worked hard to develop a bond with our children and earn their trust. She is loving and emotionally supportive, but she also encouraged them to be responsible and independent. When we would notice our children putting on their own shoes, or cleaning up after themselves without being asked, we knew Rena played a large part in it. She read the kids their favorite books over and over. She brought in surprise breakfasts from our neighborhood bakery. She gave them birthday and Christmas gifts every year. Other nannies have approached us in the neighborhood to tell us that they know our kids and that Rena takes great care of them. Rena has a blend of youth and experience. She has plenty of energy for babies and toddlers, and the knowledge of how to care for them well. She is responsible, punctual, and professional. She is warm, nurturing, and patient. We will miss her dearly.

We are looking for a new family for Jasmine, our beloved former babysitter. Jasmine has worked for us for almost 7 years (and for 13 years for another family before us) and helped us raise our two kids (8 years and 6 years) in New York. After her employment with us ended last year, we matched her with another family who ended up moving out of NY due to Covid-19. My husband and I being full-time professionals, if it weren’t for Jasmine, we wouldn’t have been able to maintain a good balance between our family life and our professional life, and most importantly, we wouldn’t have had such a fulfilling and enjoyable journey through the first years of parenthood. Jasmine is warm, loving, caring, honest, punctual, responsible, and very dependable. She is never late, braving the worst NY storms and always reporting to work on time. In the course of seven years, she took only ONE sick day! She is very flexible, gracefully accommodating us if we needed her to stay late or occasionally work on weekends. Jasmine displays a character of integrity and honesty; if a kid has a little fall in the playground, she doesn’t wait for us to come home and find out, she calls and tells us what happened in detail. She is very sociable, having this natural ability to connect with people and make friends with other babysitters in the playground. Thus, she has created a vibrant and diverse social circle for our kids, making sure they have playdates whenever they needed to. Being a good judge of character, she becomes friends only with like-minded nannies with integrity, so we never had to worry about who our kids are hanging out with. Jasmine is very professional and can efficiently fulfill children’s needs at different ages. From feeding and potty-training in toddler years, to helping with homework and creating arts and crafts projects in older years, she is always a pro. Whenever needed, she prepares kids meals, does their laundry, and helps with light upkeep work (tidying up kids’ mess). She’s also good at getting kids to do their share in cleaning up. She started reading to our kids when they were babies (thereby instilling in them a love of reading), taught them their alphabet using foam letters while playing in the tub when they were 2 years old, and eventually helped them qualify for the Gifted and Talented school program, scoring in the high nineties. She helps with homework while making sure to nurture autonomy and independence in the kids. She is very involved in all aspects of our kids’ life, always calls on weekends to remind us to sign a field trip paper, or make sure that our daughter practiced properly for her spelling test or finished her writing assignment. For further information, you can contact me (Zeina, former employer, cell: 917-294-6106) or contact Jasmine (cell: 917-861-3929).

My wife and I are helping our nanny find a new family to work with. Minerva has looked after our son for the last 8 months (since he was five months old) and has been nothing short of amazing with him. Minerva is incredibly capable and came highly recommended by another Brooklyn family before us. She is experienced with young babies and prefers a family with young children, but is open to all situations (though, she also does not want a nanny share). I really can't say enough good things about Minerva. She regularly took our son to sing-alongs at the library, made friends for him, and always kept him busy and stimulated. She easily fed him and put him down and always with tenderness and love. She knows Fort Greene well and always comes to work happy and ready to give our son her full attention. Because of changing work situations, my wife and I will not be in the city for months and sadly have to let Minerva go and work with another family. If you are looking for a nanny, she is the best and our loss is really your gain. Please reply to me directly over email for more info. I'll be helping Minerva find her next family. Thanks so much.

Our former nanny Dian is available to start working immediately as her current families situation has changed and they no longer need her. My post from last year when we moved out of the city: I didn’t actually think this day would ever come but here we are. My family is moving out of the city and our nanny Dian who has been with us for the last 4 years is looking for a new family to work with. Dian has been with us since my son was 8 months old. She currently takes care of my son who is 4.5 and daughter who is 10 months. I don’t even know where to begin. I don’t think I could have survived motherhood this far without Dian. She is reliable, trustworthy and kind. She is a go getter and full of energy. Somehow she walks in at the end of the day with the same amount of energy as when she arrives. Dian cooks lunch and dinner for both kids and gives breakfast as well, if needed. She also does their laundry and light housekeeping. Dian has treated my children as if they are her own. I am fully confident that they are always safe and happy when in her care. She is proactive at meeting new nannies, setting up play-dates, reading, preparing projects for my son and finding local outings for the kids to attend. You name it - she does it. She thinks ahead and is always prepared with what she will need for the day/situation. Our home is always neat and organized when I come home. Dian never complains about my requests (which sometimes can be weird). Dian is CPR Certified and was previously a CNA. She is truly the best and I am heartbroken she will no longer be caring for our children. I hope that I can find her a wonderful family who will love her as much as we do.

As with many families in recent weeks, we are leaving Manhattan bound for the suburbs. The decision was complicated for many reasons but saying goodbye to our nanny, Alice, was by far the most difficult. Alice began with our family when my older son was just a few months old. After four years, Alice is a part of our family. She is a strong role model, cultivates relationships (including other nannies as well as my mother and mother-in-law!) and we trust her implicitly. This trust will undoubtedly prove invaluable in today's complicated world. Running out of the apartment in the morning required nothing more than a quick goodbye - all safe, calm and organized under Alice's watch. She is also extremely flexible which has been a game changer in our busy lives. After almost five months in quarantine in Connecticut, my son still asks for Alice nearly daily. Ideal start date is 8/1. But Alice can start ASAP if needed or as late as 9/1. Please reach out directly to me if interested and I can relay Alice's contact information.

Our nanny, Naomi Clarke, has been with us and another family doing a nanny share since January 2020. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic our nanny share was dissolved so we would love to see Naomi placed with another great family. She has been a nanny for 20 years and is a true professional of what she does. Our son was 3 months old at the start of the share and the other baby was 6 months. Her care for the two kids included extensive play time activities, bottle and solid feedings, daily walks, nap time routines, and light cleaning. She loves playing with babies, singing, reading, and making them smile. She is attentive, always on time if not early, and takes direction well but is very much self guided if needed. Also her respect for cleanliness is very notable when working with her- always leaving the place cleaner than it was before. Given her extensive history of working in the industry, she is a wealth of information across various topics of childcare. On her own time she even takes classes on various topics on childcare to keep herself sharp when it comes to taking care of children. Naomi has a flexible yet structured personality that would make a great mix for any family looking for care for their kids.

Marva has been with us a little over a year and is truly a Godsend. She had previously nannied for 2 family friends (both moved out of the city) and we were thrilled when the stars aligned and Marva was available. She started when my daughter was just shy of 3 months old---my daughter is now a year and half and LOVES Marva and Marva loves her. Marva would come in each morning singing, putting a smile on all of our faces. She is extremely professional, protective and accommodating. She's very active and kept our little one busy with playdates, classes, trips to the playground and more. We are currently relocating to the midwest, otherwise, we would've had Marva stay with us indefinitely! (Trust me, there have been lots of tears having to leave Marva.) Regarding laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc.: Marva did our daughter's laundry, cooked her meals and cleaned her spaces. We never asked her to take on more, but she would probably be willing to for additional compensation. We are looking to help Marva find a great new family, so please email me or call with me with any questions!

***WONDERFUL NANNY AVAILABLE*** It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this post. After 10 years and three children, our circumstances have changed, and we are looking to find a new home for our nanny. Carol has been with us since our first child, now 10, was three months old. She is great with all ages from newborns to toddlers to school aged children. Carol’s childcare skills, work ethic, reliability and loving nature allowed her to quickly become a huge asset to our family. She has a warm and friendly personality. She is hard working, punctual, honest and reliable. She is organized and able to multi-task and was able to take care of a newborn’s needs while running around after two active boys. One of her greatest skills is the ability to be warm and loving with the children, but to maintain discipline – something which is not easy to do. I trust her completely and know she really cares about our children’s physical and emotional well-being. Carol is like part of our family. Carol is an experienced nanny and has worked with several families over the years throughout Manhattan. Most recently, she was working in the West Village. She lives in Brooklyn. She has been extremely careful with COVID-19 and will work with your family to make sure everyone is comfortable. She has also recently updated her CPR and First Aid certifications. She is looking for full-time work, ideally with a baby, and is available to start immediately. If you would like to speak with her or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Any family would be lucky to have her.

In fact, the hardest part of the decision to move was leaving Joan. She will forever be a part of our family. My daughter and I both adore her. She was never late in 5 years. She took care of my daughter as if she was her own. If I could move her up with me, I would! She would play with my daughter all day. They were always, reading or heading to the park or the library or finding something fun to do and I always knew she was safe. I never had to worry about anything when Joan was there. I cannot say enough good about this woman and any family would be lucky to have her.

Outstanding, incredible full-time nanny available immediately for a loving family! Our former nanny, Chanessa, cared for my two sons for many years. The older one from 6 months to 5 years old and the younger one from birth to 4 years old. She is phenomenal, I witnessed it for myself during maternity leave, plus multiple neighbors and preschool teachers told me how nurturing she was and how lucky we were to have found someone like her. She prepared meals and snacks, kept a tidy house, took them to classes and play dates, did laundry, and she was always on time. She is completely trustworthy, honest, gentle, patient, kind, exceptionally hardworking, and an efficient multitasker. She is easy going and takes requests for modifications well, completely respects what we want as parents. She is mature and intuitive. She helped us through all the most difficult moments in our boys development: sleep training, transition into preschool, G&T prep homework, even potty training! (She gets all the credit for that one). Our boys love her and she loves them like her own. I highly recommend her. Wish we could keep her forever but our family only needs a part-time nanny now. Her number is 646-899-2887, but I'm also happy to talk to you as well (Kathy: 646-783-9186)!

We are looking for a new family for our nanny, Farrah, as we have decided to move out of NYC. Farrah has been with our family since our first son was born 7 years ago. She started with us when he was 3 months old and I had to return to work. Farrah has an incredible touch with newborns and was able to immediately calm him and make sure he felt happy and safe. He was very fussy as a baby and she used to hold him and rock him for hours to keep him calm. She also got him on a nap schedule which I was unable to do. Farrah prepared fresh baby food and made sure to try all different fruits and vegetables, blending them together and organizing them all in the freezer to make sure he had a large supply. Farrah was also very supportive of my nursing and made sure to maintain the breast milk very well. As my older son got older, she organized play dates and made sure to teach him to clean up his toys, respect others and engage with his friends. When my younger son was born, she easily juggled both boys and made sure that they both felt special and cared for. Farrah is always on time and highly reliable. Throughout the day she sent pictures and text messages, updating my husband and me about how the boys were doing, knowing that we missed them while at work. Before Farrah joined us, she was with another family for many years until those girls were in middle school and still sees that family. She is very loyal and honest. She is an amazing cook and prepared food for the whole family. She is looking for a full-time position in Manhattan or Brooklyn and is available to start as soon as possible. You can be assured that your children will be in great hands with Farrah! We are so sad to be losing her. Please reach out with any questions.

Lorraine has been with our family for two years, since our son (now 2.5) was just shy six months old. Lorraine previously helped care for my brother’s two sons, so she came with the very best of recommendations - that of a family member. Lorraine put me at ease when I went back to work, which lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. Lorraine has always taken excellent care of our son, and he has grown extraordinarily fond of her these past two years - although we have not been able to see Lorraine since mid-March due to COVID, our son has asked about her many times, and he has been delighted to speak with her via Facetime. Lorraine is extremely reliable - she never called out sick at the last minute, and always gave advance notice of any days that she was unable to work due to personal obligations. She was amenable to taking our son outside and to activities - she took him to the playground, music classes, and a small petting zoo near our apartment (the Art Farm). On one occasion, an employee at the Art Farm who had seen Lorraine and my son once a week for several months mentioned to me how lovely Lorraine’s interactions with our son were. Lorraine has a wonderful, calm and patient demeanor, and she is absolutely lovely in her interactions with children. She was also a big help to us when we started potty training our son. Due to changes in our childcare needs as a result of COVID, we no longer need Lorraine’s assistance. We are very sad to be parting ways, but are hopeful that she will find a wonderful family to work with.

My former nanny is looking for her next family. Due to the pandemic, her current family needed to relocate. She’s open to live-in or live-out. She was part of our family for almost 5 years and has been a nanny for over 18 years. She started with us when my daughter was 4 months old. In fact, my daughter called her Lala Aunty She has two grown children. Her daughter is a doctor in a residency program and her son/daughter-in-law owns their own businesses. Because of her family situation she has also demonstrated great flexibility with my family’s crazy (pre-pandemic) work schedules either coming early or staying late when needed. She has lived in the US for over 30 years and is a US citizen. I did not run a background check, but I did speak with one of her previous families as a reference. We lived in near City Hall/Brooklyn Bridge, so she is familiar with downtown Manhattan but she’s open to anywhere in the city. We can't say enough good things about our nanny. She adored our daughter and they have an incredibly tight bond so much so that people often ask if she’s her grandmother. We love her and consider her part of our family. She is fluent in Hindi and Gujarati, so our daughter has gotten immense exposure to our culture and language. Her English is good but not great (verbal is good/written ok.) I spoke with her in Gujarati to get some practice. That said, she gets along with my daughter’s friends’ nannies and communicates with them in English. Aunty has great common sense and if she doesn’t know something once you show her once she gets it. She is a great cook—my daughter eats Indian food almost every night which she makes for her a few times per week and will cook fresh roti’s for after school. When we hired her, Aunty was responsible for the baby and bathing/cleaning bottles/doing my daughter’s laundry/general tidiness for my daughter. (My cleaning lady handled our laundry and deep cleaning.) As the years have progressed and when my daughter is in school, she picked up a few more responsibilities. She occasionally cooks Indian food for us—it’s delicious. However, her primary focus has been my daughter. She is looking for a warm, caring family who is interested in a warm, caring, loving full-time nanny. Please let us know if you're interested or know of anyone who would be interested. She will be a great addition to your family.

Parent Reference

As a new mom, I was terrified at the idea of finding someone to care for my baby. I had every terrible fear or thought you could possibly imagine, but that all went away when Jasneth started working with us. For starters, I truly believe she made me a better mom. Not only did she care for our son while we were at work, but I would ask her questions or advise on how to handle various things, and she provided me with nuggets of information that was far more valuable than what you can find in a book. She knows everything there is to know in caring for a baby and raising children. Her many years of experience speaks volumes. Jasneth is honest, kind and caring, not to mention a lot of fun. Her number one focus and priority is the child she is caring for. She takes the child’s wellbeing and safety very seriously. It also says a lot that she is still in very close contact with all the children and families she has cared for over the years. My son absolutely adores her and both my husband and I love to be in her company. She is family oriented, adores her own children and grandchildren, which I have come to know and love as well. Jasneth came into our life when our son was 3 months old. He is now 2. During this time, she worked with us while we lived in Brooklyn and lived with us when we moved to the suburbs. We consider her family. She IS family. As with many people, both my husband and I lost our jobs as a result of the Covid pandemic. If it wasn’t for this, Jasneth would still be with us (I joke around that I wanted her to stay with us until my son was having kids of his own!). She is an amazing human being and caregiver with a heart of gold. I truly mean it when I say she is the best thing that has happened to us. I can’t recommend her enough.

Andrea is a fantastic nanny and person! She has been with us for 15 wonderful years since our oldest was three months old and she has cared for our three children all this time - they are now 15, 12 and 7 (two girls and a boy). I found Andrea through a work colleague years ago and always felt comfortable with her from day one. She is thoughtful, caring and very good with newborns, toddlers and older children. She has a patient, gentle way about her which makes her a gem! I have seen Andrea in many situations as I have worked from home for years - she enjoys doing activities with the kids and taking them to classes and she is able to handle anything that comes her way. My son had a lot of health issues early on and Andrea helped us to manage them and to help him grow into the thriving almost teenager he is today! Andrea also keeps everything very neat, is never late, and really takes pride in her role as a supportive caregiver. Because of Co-Vid our work life has changed and we are ideally hoping to share Andrea with another family - we are very flexible on days/hours. She will also take a full time position if needed. I'm more than happy to provide more information - please feel free to call or email me.

I am recommending our lovely nanny, Rose! Our experience with Rose has been nothing short of stellar. We interviewed many good candidates and she was above and beyond the best. She started with us when my son was 3 months old and ended at 12 months when we moved out of the city in February. She is alert, energetic, and smiles and sings and was incredibly helpful with getting him on a schedule with bottles and naps and starting him on solids. As a first time nervous mom, I found Rose to be very trustworthy. She takes her job seriously and I always felt like my son was safe with her. Rose has a great deal of experience, is up do date with cpr, and she is both professional and friendly. She sent daily photos and updates which really helped to put me at ease while I was at work. Added bonus: she takes some great photos! Rose likes to get out and go to the park or library or music class. She is proactive about finding good baby activities and knows the Brooklyn neighborhoods really well. She also pays attention to developmental milestones and taught my son some fun songs which he loved and still remembers! She is truly probably one of the best nannies out there, I can't recommend her highly enough! Here is what Rose is looking for: -full time -prefers single child -newborn/infant age range -does not do nannyshares -cleaning/tidying kitchen, play area after child only

Sabina took my children on playdates, to the ice skating rink in Stuyvesant town, and would take them outside to the playground. Even in inclement weather, she would take the children outside for fresh air. She was willing to stay late when my husband and I had to work beyond the normal schedule. She came out to Long Island in the summer to watch my daughter while she was in day camp. Sabina was like a family member to us. There is no doubt in my mind that she will make a wonderful addition to another family. We couldn’t imagine anyone else aside from Sabina watching my children.

Our wonderful nanny is looking for a full-time job in Manhattan or Brooklyn. (We are on the UWS). Our son is going into Kindergarten next year, and we no longer need her full-time, plus she is a baby whisperer! She has been a godsend from when she stepped in the door 5 years ago. When our son was 12 weeks old and I had to go back to work, she made me feel at ease and took care of him as if he was her own child. There are just so many loving memories throughout the time she worked with us. She contributed a lot to the household by making his bed in the morning, doing light cleaning, laundry, dinner for our son every night, giving him a bath, so he was ready for bed when we got home from work. She always had a playdate on the schedule for my son and was very responsible for taking/picking him from school and classes he was enrolled in. She also sent pictures throughout the day so you can get a snap into the fun-filled days. She is flexible and will stay later if / when needed. She is comfortable with dogs; we have a little malti-poo. Please reach out to her directly or me [email protected] if you have any questions. She is one of a kind.

Mynette has been our full time nanny and I highly recommend her. She is a true professional that is reliable, trustworthy and loving of our girls.We were new parents when we hired Mynette to work for us full time and she literally taught us how to be good parents, and nurtured our daughter into a social and smart toddler. Mynette has a unique balance of being a self-starter who takes charge, jumps in to get things done without needing a lot of direction, but is also extremely easy and accommodating in following our instructions and preferences. This was perfect for us as new parents who needed a caretaker who knew what to do, but could easily pivot and take direction as we developed our parenting style. Mynette has also proven to be resourceful on many occasions: whether it’s taking my daughter to see the doctor, attend music classes, or buying my daughter a new water bottle as she noticed she wasn’t drinking from her sippy cup. She organizes play dates with other toddlers in the neighborhood. She’s also great about informing me on things my daughter needed like new clothes, toys, items to aide in development, or snacks she liked. Some exceptional things that Mynette brings to the table: She has a deep understanding of children’s development and how to reach and exceed milestones She is exceptionally punctual and reliable Completely trustworthy and honest An exceptionally hardworking multitasker Gentle, patient and kind Our daughters love her and she loves them She is the best in the business with 10+ years of experience and I highly recommend Mynette.

Hello parents, I really can’t believe I am now one of the people posting for a nanny, but like so many others, our circumstances have changed and we very reluctantly and with a heavy heart are doing what’s best for us and for Donna by recommending her for a new family. In short, we’re out of the city for a while and needed someone who could live in long term. Donna is able to drive, but at least when we parted in March, she wasn’t in the position to live in long term. She doesn’t have any young kids of her own, which makes her able to have very flexible hours, though! Please note that Donna WANTS TO BE PAID ON THE BOOKS! Donna came to us when our daughter was 3 months old, and remained for about 5 months, when COVID changed everything. It felt like Donna had already become a member of the family during that time. When we were interviewing, we were between 3 very qualified candidates and Donna’s warmth and joy really set her apart. She has a way about her that just brought so much light into the home, and we always say that Donna is responsible for our daughter’s happy, giggly disposition. In terms of baby-related responsibilities, my husband and I work a ton, so Donna really was responsible for it all: playing, reading, meals, bath time, laundry, cleaning up, nap time, etc. One of our favorite things about her was that we would see (often on the “nanny cam”) Donna on the floor with Abby playing and laughing - and Abby just had such affection for her that showed in the way she looked at her. (Breaks my heart to think about it now!) There are a number of other examples of Donna’s strengths, which I’d be happy to share, but one that comes to mind is when Abby was about 4.5 months old, she started getting fussier for no real reason. I just assumed this was normal, but Donna went home that night, came back the next day, and said she decided that Abby’s (very minor) diaper rash was causing her to fuss and had her “air out” for a couple of hours that day. Sure enough, Abby was back to her normal smiley self and the irritation completely went away just after giving it some air. I loved that Donna took action when I would have never thought of that! Donna was always adjusting based on Abby’s age, and very knowledgeable, but not forceful with any advice. I am very particular and would often ask for things to be done a certain way, which Donna was always more than happy to do. There is not a passive aggressive or defensive bone in her body, which was just such a relief and pleasure. While Donna was our first nanny, I’ve heard from friends that some nannies can be a bit forceful or stubborn, and we never experienced anything like that with Donna. She is truly a good person, easy to be around, and eager to take the best care of “her baby” possible. Many other moms mentioned that when I wasn’t around, Donna continued to be as engaged and devoted to Abby as she was when I was right there. A neighbor of mine said Donna really was “one of the good ones” and she’s absolutely right. I know that there are lots of nannies available now, but whoever gets Donna will be incredibly lucky. Donna would prefer to work in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, Boerum Hill, or Fort Greene. However, she will consider other parts of Brooklyn and parts of lower Manhattan. Please feel free to call/email me with any questions.

We are looking for a new family for our long-time nanny, Francisca. She is a vital member of our family, and it’s bittersweet to be searching for a new family for her. Francisca began working with us when I returned to work just as our oldest son turned 4 months old. This month, he turned 14, and our other son, 11. Both myself and my husband have held demanding jobs that require all of our focus and attention while at the office, necessitating us to trust and rely upon our caregiver completely. Simply put, Francisca has been our peace of mind for 14 years. We have been incredibly lucky to have her, and she has been a true partner to us in raising our children, while at the same time raising her own daughter as a single parent, an impressive young woman who graduated from a premier Manhattan high school and now attends college in Washington, DC. Francisca is loving, kind, trustworthy, reliable, collaborative, hard-working, vigilant and energetic. She’s been in childcare for more than 25 years, working with only 3 families during that time, which speaks volumes. We are constantly stopped by friends, acquaintances and strangers, singing her praises. The teachers at school only want to execute field trips when they know Francisca can attend; she watches all the children, not just ours, like a hawk. She is extremely committed to her job and to her charges. She is unfailingly polite, but also very savvy and street-smart. Most of all, she is 100% engaged with the children, from singing lullabies when they were babies, to playing board games and playground games as they grew, to being a sworn confidante and advice-giver now that they are older. Our boys often complain that we are way less fun than Francisca. Francisca is looking for a family with 1 newborn in Manhattan or Brooklyn (where she lives), hoping to start the journey anew with another family who will respect and value her and her collaboration. We’re happy to speak to you about Francisca and all that she has done for our family.

We have two children who are currently 2.5 years and 6 months old. Anne Marie has an incredibly intense work ethic, is very high energy and extremely caring and driven. She has never once missed a day due to being sick, is always on time and has been able to help us out whenever we are in a pinch and can’t make it home on time. Anne Marie really cares for our children, even with our older son in preschool over zoom, she has the patience and skill to be able to watch our 6 month old while still making sure our older boy is focused on his zoom class, which is no small task for that short attention span. Anne Marie loves the outdoors and always has the children outside, keeping a close eye and extremely attentive. She focuses on healthy eating habits for the boys (and herself) and has a great balance of learning and playing. We are so sad to have to say goodbye to Anne Marie but know she will continue to be a part of our family for time to come.

We planned to have her stay with us when we moved from NYC to NJ, but we unexpectedly parted with her this spring when our needs changed due to COVID-19 and we are now working from home for the foreseeable future. Evadney worked ten-hour days, somedays longer when I had 7am meetings. I could always count on her even though the commute was over an hour from Brooklyn to Morningside Heights. Evadney loved our children like they were her own and had a special bond with them. She made sure they were growing up to be healthy, kind and strong, and that's no easy feat with twin toddler boys! Very importantly, Evadney was incredibly flexible given my crazy schedule and looked out for me and my husband as well. She made sure that we went to dinner - just us! - every so often, and our children were fed, bathed and ready for bed when we walked in the door. We are eager to help Evadney find the right family who will appreciate her honesty, candor and warm heart. Before us Evadney worked with another family for ~5 years! I am available to talk if they want to learn more about how Evadney was so wonderful.

After 6 years, it is time to help our wonderful nanny find a new family. Maribel has cared for my two children since they were each 12 weeks old--she is like their second mother. Maribel is everything you would want in a caregiver: patient, loving and kind, observant, and experienced with children of all ages. She is especially skilled with infants and toddlers. From a very young age, Maribel got both of my children on a schedule. She arranged playdates in the neighborhood so they could socialize with other kids, and helped them form their first friendships. Maribel is active and always looking for ways to engage the kids--taking them to libraries, museums, parks and playgrounds. I get many compliments on my children\'s advanced language skills and manners, and I know that this is in large part because of how Maribel interacts with them. (Maribel is college educated and bilingual in Spanish and English.) Over the years I have also gotten many compliments from other parents on how wonderful Maribel is with my children. Maribel is very health conscious herself and with the kids. She is always taking them out for fresh air and exercise, teaching them about the importance of hand washing (this was true pre-COVID19), and making sure they are eating fresh, healthy food. My oldest has had health problems/dietary issues since infancy, and Maribel has handled it like a pro. She is the first to notice if a child has a rash, runny nose or slight temperature and alerts me right away. It\'s been such a relief to know that my children are safe and well cared for even when I\'m not around. She is also certified in CPR and First Aid. Maribel truly loves our children and we feel so lucky to have had her in our lives. She is such a wonderful person and caregiver. We will miss her terribly, but we know that there is another family who will benefit from her love and care. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

Parent Reference

Annette is a great baby nanny. She helps get families on a schedule and has been like a second mother to me giving me tips and support along the way. As my daughter became a toddler, Annette took the time to befriend other nannies and families in the neighborhood and helped create a great circle of friends both for our daughter and our family. Annette is also great with kids, teaching them songs/early education and how to be polite, independent, city-smart children. As my daughter got older, she read to her, introduced new words and letters to her and helped with potty training. As my older daughter transitioned into school and I gave birth to a second daughter, Annette was able to balance both an infant and child at the same time, and once again help us adjust to a new schedule/routine. On a daily basis Annette would take trips to the park and always encouraged my girls to be kind on the playground but stand up for themselves when needed. Everyone in my building knows Annette and they always tell me how great she is with our girls. It was evident every day how much Annette loved our girls through her patience and care.

Parent Reference

Oralia joined our family when my Children were 5 and 3 and our previous Nanny left to start her own business. My Children loved their prior Nanny so I was nervous about bringing someone new in, but they fell in love with Oralia immediately. Regarding Oralia's character... Oralia always has a smile on her face! She is dependable, always came on time and was willing to stay late with little notice. She is trustworthy, I never hid valuable belongings and she had full access to everything in our apartment. Oralia's daily Childcare responsibilities included: *Getting my 3 year old ready for preschool (fed breakfast and dressed) *Taking 3 year old to school and picking him up after *Cooking/feeding my 3 year old lunch and dinner; Cooking/feeding my 5 year old a separate dinner. *Picking my 5 year old up from school and various activities *Keeping the children busy and active while not in school. Taking the kids to the Park, the Library, and arranging playdates with other Nannies. When we hired Oralia we only expected her to do light cleaning: the Children's laundry, clean the Children's room, and keep the Kitchen and living room tidy. However, Oralia went above and beyond and did the whole family's laundry and cleaned the entire apartment while both children were in school. Oralia would also take on tasks that I never asked her to do-she somehow kept the Children's toys organized and neatly put away and she had all of our drawers looking pristine! As a result of Covid, the childcare needs of my family have changed, but I want to find Oralia a family that appreciates how special she is. Any family would be truly lucky to have her. I am happy to answer any additional questions or you can reach out to Oralia directly.

Parent Reference

Tracey has been a delightful extension of our family. She has been with us for the past 3 years, helping to raise my now 4-year-old and 8-year-old girls. Tracey is probably one of the most hard-working and reliable people I have ever met. She had never missed a day, arrived early every morning, would stay late when we had work commitments. She took amazing care of my girls and was always active with them. She'd pack up lunch/snacks/clothes and make sure they had plenty of activities throughout the day. If I signed the girls up for activities or play dates, Tracey was very independent and figured it all out. If it's cold / snowing outside, she'll do activities with the kids, hang out on the carpet and play board games. I always knew when I left in the morning, my girls were well taken care of from morning till dinner (and I have very picky eaters, but she got them to eat vegetables every night!) I was also very impressed with how Tracey entered our family. Our previous nanny had moved to another state, and we were in a position to bring a new person into my 5-year-olds life. I was introduced to Tracey by a mutual connection who also had an amazing experience with her. I loved how Tracey approached getting to know them - she did not come in too strong, too affectionate, or too authoritative. She built a mutual trust, and their relationship flourished into a very loving connection. We have now moved out of the city and my girls ask for Tracey constantly and miss her so much. I hope she can find another loving family to care for!

She fills our daughter's days with joy and learning: home cooked meals, reading, physical exercise, and socially distanced field trips. Her photo updates throughout the day are a constant treat. While her English is not native level, neither my wife nor I speak Spanish and communication has not been an issue. Conversely, her fluency in Spanish has enriched all of our lives. We are so heartbroken to be parting with Julieta because we're leaving NYC (less sad about that part). If you are reading this, please get in touch with her and/or myself. You'll be happy you did.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Alina Torres for over two years. Alina started taking care of our son, Sebastián, when he was just over 2 months old. His fundamental responsibilities were taking care of our son, washing his clothes, keeping his room and toys tidy, feeding and bathing him, cooking for him, taking him to the park, for walks, and washing his bottles / dishes, etc. During her time with us, as Sebastian's babysitter / babysitter, what I always admired about Alina was how patient and sweet she was with him. Beyond that, Alina is extremely hard-working, skilled, and proactive. For example, without even telling or asking her, she began to store food, which she cooked for Sebastian during the week, in the freezer so that on the weekend I always had homemade food to give him. This was a great help to me with my busy schedule as a new mom. That's the beauty of Alina, she was always looking for a solution or how to make life easier for me. She is honest, hard-working and respectful but above all a nice person. Anyone who hires her will have the joy of knowing her.

Sherlane is the most tender-hearted, loving nanny I have ever met. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her. Many times I came home to find my dish washer was unloaded without me asking. She would wash, fold and put away my son's clothes. She kept a log of everything they did together along with his feeding and nap schedule while I was away. She never hesitated to stay later if I needed her even if it was last minute and she was always punctual when arriving. My work schedule changed week to week and she was always flexible and accommodating. My son Maddox loves Sherlane. She was so gentle with him, played with him, educated him and always had recommendations for different products to use with him if I ever had any challenges as a first time mom. For example, she recommended special creams to use for his eczema. I honestly, have no complaints. She is everything I wanted in a nanny and more. I'm so sad to see her go. Given the Covid-19 outbreak I am now working from home and am no longer in need of a nanny for the time being. I interviewed 5 nannies during my search and Sherlane was by far my favorite! She also came highly recommended by her references. I like to think I am a good judge of character and Sherlane met all my expectations. Sherlane is ideally looking for full-time work and she is looking for something in the immediate future. Anybody who hires Sherlane will be lucky to have her! She is simply the best!

We have worked with Lhamo for over a year, and she has done a wonderful job taking care of our two 7-year old sons as well as taking care of our home. We moved back to NYC from CA at the start of 2019 and Lhamo joined our family in April 2019. She went out of her way to make our transition to NYC as seamless as possible, and also helped the twins in their transition to their new school. Our twins are curious, rambunctious 7 year boys and Lhamo did an excellent job engaging them, setting up play dates, playing a variety of games with them (chess, monopoly, lotto), teaching them how to mediate (which did wonders in helping them calm down), and doing a range of creative crafts including drawing and painting which they loved. One of our sons is an extremely picky eater and Lhamo was constantly trying new healthy but interesting dishes to encourage our son to eat a wider and more healthy range of food, and was very focused on their health and happiness. She is a very gentle kind person who was able to meet them at their level and also pushed them to try new activities and foods. They loved playing with her, and would always look forward her to coming over. She is also very observant and thoughtful – she noticed that the PJs for our sons were not staying on and stitched them so they stayed in place; she would also convert pants that were too short, into shorts for the boys for the summer, and gave them cute hair-cuts and also brought them thoughtful presents. In addition to watching the boys, she also did an excellent job keeping our home spotless and kept us organized, which was incredibly helpful to us as both my husband and I work and travel a lot. As an example, she noticed that our sheets were getting old but knew that we would not have time to look for new sheets, and went out of her way to find us beautiful sheets. Lhamo has been a tremendous help to us over the past year and has become a part of our family. We will really miss her and are only transitioning currently because we are leaving the city. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.

We are relocating for a little while which means that we're, sadly, having to give up our absolutely incredible nanny. Anjali has been with us since our son was three months old (he's now 2!), and during that time she has watched over him as if he was her own (she's a mom of two herself). Anjali has been amazing at getting our little guy to eat a variety of foods (she's a great cook), have an incredible thirst for books, and keep to an excellent nap routine. Anjali is responsible, patient and kind. It's been a terribly difficult decision to let her leave, but we're going to be out of New York for the foreseeable future so we're hoping she could impact some other family in the same great way she's impacted ours. If you're looking for a caregiver, we wholeheartedly recommend her and would love to put you in touch.

Our loss is your gain! Lissa is absolutely wonderful and we are sad to let her go. My family has moved to Long Island out of NYC, and as a result our child care needs have changed. We would love to find Lissa a loving family who will welcome her with open arms as we did. Lissa is truly part of our family and started watching our daughter about 18 months ago when I returned to work (my daughter was 4 months old). I have never doubted the safety of my daughter with Lissa. She has put my husband and I at ease with her natural ability to take care of our daughter . We found Lissa from mommy bites - she has worked for a family prior to us for 10+ years taking care of twin boys. From the moment we met her we knew we had to hire her. She is easy to get along with and a great communicator. Most importantly, we never had to worry that our daughter wasn’t in great hands. She does everything from start to finish when it comes to my daughter’s day - feeding her, playing and teaching her, arranging play dates for her, taking her to classes, etc. She goes above and beyond to keep our apartment tidy. She also makes suggestions based on what she sees as it relates to our daughter and I appreciate her opinions. She gives us updates and sends us pictures throughout the day and my daughter never stops smiling when she is with Lissa. She’s very flexible with coming early or staying later upon request. I have nothing but great things to say about Lissa and wish she could continue on with our family. Friends and even other parents who I don’t know personally have gone out of their way to say how amazing Lissa is unsolicited. She really is the full package and adores children.

Our nanny, Glenda, who has worked with my family for the last 3 years, is looking for a new family to work with. She started with our family when our oldest was 4 months old (she is now a little over 3) and stayed with us as we had our second (16 months). She would still be with us today, if we didn’t decide to leave Manhattan. She has many great qualities and proves to stand out amongst other nannies. The children’s happiness, safety and health is of utmost concern for her. She is extremely caring, hardworking, punctual and trust-worthy. In terms of the children, she always went out of her way to ensure they were constantly being engaged. The kids were always at the playground, group classes, or playdates. It was with her help that we found age appropriate classes to attend in the area. She usually had them on the go, but on those days that she stayed home, she wasn’t afraid to open up the finger paint and have the kids create their own art work. Or, turn up the music and have a dance party. When outside, she never kept them in the stroller. She carried books so that she could read to them. If he wasn’t reading, she was singing to them and if she wasn’t singing she was running around with the kids. In terms of food, she often made breakfast and lunch for the kids. When they were infants starting to eat purees, she made all the purees from scratch. The kids were never given added sugar and she ensured they always had a balanced meal. My kids adore her. I often heard from others how great she was with our children. In terms of keeping the apartment, she went above and beyond to ensure the apartment was clean, tidy, and neat. It was always spotless and well organized each night we can home from work. She did light cleaning and always put the kid’s toys back in their place before leaving for the day. Laundry was always done and put back in drawers very nicely; she somehow knew just how to fold the clothes so they fit perfectly in the drawers – a true talent. She is extremely reliable, flexible, and organized. She is never late, never takes sick days and always willing to work longer, as needed (whether it be a 6AM start time or a 9PM end time). She was always understanding when she needed to work a little later, even with very short notice. It was very much appreciated, knowing my kids were safe with her. She is a true gem and it breaks my heart to lose her, but I know she will make another family just as happy as she made ours.

Janice has been our nanny and truly a part of our family for 3 years, caring for our two sons who are 3 years old and 10 months old. She has over 30 years of experience caring for children and is truly a professional at it in every sense of the word. I have learned so much about raising children under her guidance – from transitioning from bottles to sippy cups to potty training to managing through my older son becoming a big brother. She has always been 3 steps ahead of me in anticipating what my children need, understanding them and caring for them as though they are on her own. And the best part about her is that she does it with grace and gentle guidance and never makes me feel like she’s telling me what to do. A few things to highlight that stand out to me about what she has done for us: 1. Teaching my children manners – my son says please, thank you, cleans up after himself thanks to her proactive and continued discipline during the day while we are at work 2. Patiently showing him what it means to be independent -washing his hands, going potty, putting his dishes in the sink. 3. Having fun with him. The games, the jokes the laughs, my son is so happy just being with her at the park, playground museum or really wherever they go. 4. Giving us peace of mind. Through every stage I have never once doubted that my children are in the best care with Janice in our home. We are relocating out of the city and Janice lives 2 hours away so we are parting ways with her only because of the geographic circumstances. I cannot say enough about what she has done for us and would highly recommend her to any family. If you have questions/want to learn more, please contact me, Kristin at 201.819.5766 or [email protected] or Janice at 646-240-6342.

Our dear amazing nanny Lynette has been working with our two kids and us for 6 years now. She joined us when our son was about to be born, and our daughter was 4.5. The kids are now almost 6 and 10, and they are finally at one school. Between that and COVID forcing me to work from home (probably indefinitely), we are no longer in a position where we need help and sadly need to say goodbye. Prior to working with us, she was with another family and their 3 kids – all of whom she raised from birth – who she is still very close with. Lynette is loving, kind, fun, energetic, gentle, but in charge - and treats them truly like her own. Lynette always has my kids laughing and places a great emphasis on kindness and respect – and complete showers them with her love. She has helped us with so many transitions and has provided guidance and support through them all – weeing away from breast milk (and into solids) potty training, starting school, and the addition of a sibling. She does all of the kids' laundry (and ours) and makes all of the kids' meals (and sometimes ours) - including homemade baby food during that stage. I place a big emphasis on healthy food, and she happily abides. My house is always immaculate when I get home. I never understand how that is possible. She is flexible and happy to work late, nights, or weekends – and has always stayed with our kids when my husband and I have been out of town. In our 6 years together, she called in sick exactly one day and always arrives on time - and never rushes out. My son had a 9 hours skull surgery when he was 6 months (he was born with craniosynostosis). Lynette stayed with my daughter for the 4 nights we were at the hospital. When we arrived home, his eyes were still swollen shut, and it was a nerve-wracking situation. When we walked in the door, she scooped him up, bathed him, and had his eyes open and a giggle going within 45 minutes. She is scared of nothing and does it all with ease. She is great with all ages but is most definitely the baby whisperer. Lynette is very social and has a wonderful network of friends in the neighborhood – made on behalf of our kids. My son is essentially the mayor of Brooklyn Heights and literally knows more people than my husband and me thanks to Lynette. He has daily playdates – sometimes more than one – all scheduled and coordinated by Lynette. She is the nanny that other families ask to take their kids when they are in a bind. She is adored by anyone who knows her. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. She's the BEST!!!! You can reach out to me at (917) 825-7436 or Lynette at (516)732-4071. **SHE WILL HAPPILY NIGHT NURSE BUT IS LOOKING TO STAY LONG-TERM.

I have had the great pleasure of having our Nanny Michelle for the last 2 years. It is with great sadness that we have decided to move cross country and will have to part ways with her. My daughter and entire family adore Michelle and I would love to find her a new home. She is more than our nanny and has really become a part of our family. In the 2 years we have had Michelle, she has never called out sick or been late. She is extremely loving, protective, follows a routine, and puts our daughter first in every way. She started with our family when our daughter was 3 months and is excellent with both newborns and toddlers. She prepared homemade baby food as an infant and well balanced and nutritious meals as she graduated to solid foods. She organizes play dates as well countless classes, and does all of the cleaning and cooking for our daughter. She has a car which is a plus given the current pandemic. Additionally, she has stayed with our daughter when we traveled on weekends and worked evenings for our weekly date night. I can honestly say I never once felt the need to check in with her or even look at our Nest as I went back to work because I knew my daughter was in excellent hands. Every Saturday morning our daughter looks for and calls out for Shell. Her face lights up every morning when she sees her and cries when she leaves for the evening. We are truly devastated and wish we could bring her with us. Please help me find her a new home!!

We cannot imagine a better nanny than Carmen. She is simply the best. We love her, and had no intention of letting her go -- unfortunately, due to job changes resulting from the COVID crisis, we are leaving New York. Carmen has cared for, loved, and helped raise our son, Teddy, since he was 3 months old (he is now 23 months old). She was with Teddy from Monday through Friday, from 8am-6pm every day. Some of the things that make Carmen so special... Carmen is outgoing and proactive. We had just recently moved to Brooklyn Heights when Carmen started working for us, and she had not previously worked in or spent any time in the neighborhood, so none of us really knew anyone at the beginning. Within a matter of weeks, Carmen had met and befriended a number of other nannies/babies in the neighborhood, and spearheaded a play group that resulted in some of Teddy\\'s closest friendships. And because Carmen always kept us fully in the loop, and would only make plans after connecting us with the parents of any babies she was making plans with, many of our friendships with other couples in the neighborhood were thanks to Carmen as well. Carmen is organized, meticulous and detail-oriented. Without us asking her to, when Carmen first started as Teddy\\'s nanny, she kept a daily log documenting his meals, sleep schedule, activities, etc. It was essentially a minute-by-minute report accounting for the whole day, and as first-time parents it was both comforting and helpful to have as a reference. Carmen is energetic, active, and totally present. Carmen and Teddy never sat idle in the apartment; they were constantly on the move, playing, exploring, spending more time outdoors than indoors, and finding new age-appropriate activities as Teddy grew. Carmen kept Teddy engaged 100% of the time, and she had an amazing impact on his development. Carmen was never on her phone in front of Teddy (unless she was texting us their whereabouts, or taking a picture of video of Teddy to send to us), and the TV was never on. Teddy always had 100% of her attention, and she showed boundless patience with him no matter what. Carmen kept us informed throughout the day as to what they were up to. Thanks a steady stream of pictures, videos, and text updates, we always had a sense of how Teddy spent his day, and we got to vicariously enjoy some of it with him. Carmen kept things in order. Thanks to Carmen, the apartment was always neat and organized. She did Teddy\\'s laundry multiple times a week. She cooked Teddy healthy, balanced meals, and introduced him to new foods and flavors. She kept lists for groceries, cleaning supplies, and other essentials like diapers and wipes so we always knew what was needed. Amazingly, we could keep going. We\\'ll stop the list here for now, but we would be more than happy to continue singing Carmen\\'s praises on a reference call. We absolutely adore Carmen, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a one-of-a-kind, warm, loving, compassionate woman who treated our child like he were one of her own.

Jennifer is highly dependable, responsive and communicative. She is very particular about cleanliness and maintains an impeccably hygienic environment for your loved ones, especially if you have a newborn. She is always on top of our children’s schedules, playdates, doctor appointments, school pick-ups, etc. Jennifer also does light cleaning, children’s meals and laundry. She is very flexible with her schedule for late nights and weekend babysitting needs. Our kids have special needs which requires incredible patience, understanding, and diligence in supporting their therapies and sessions. Jennifer would NEVER raise her voice but she is firm and disciplined, skills that can be applied to all kids. Further, Jennifer has been able to get my super picky kids to eat a wide variety of healthful foods like carrots ?, broccoli ?, cauliflower, salmon?, etc. She keeps them active by taking them to the parks where they developed wonderful friendships with other kids. She supported them through their major milestones from potty training to learning to take showers on their own. Based in Brooklyn, Jennifer is open to opportunities in either Brooklyn and Manhattan. She has been staying with us overnight Mondays through Thursdays as we shelter in place during COVID-19. We pick her up and drop her off with our own car. She lives alone and has been responsibly self-isolating when at home. Jennifer is CPR trained but not currently certified. She is a US citizen.

Our wonderful former nanny, Veronica, who was with our family for four years, often described us as a team working together to raise our children into amazing, good humans. If this was true (and it was), she was 100 percent our MVP. I had no way of understanding when we hired her the ways in which she would transform our home for the better. She is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I have had the benefit of knowing. We could really feel her love and concern for our children, and she was fantastic with them at every stage from infancy through first grade. Veronica joined us as I exited my second maternity leave, when our older child was two years old and our younger child was just three and half months old. As most working moms know, it is no easy task to return to work. With that said, there is nothing in the world worth more than the immense peace of mind provided by knowing that your children are in excellent hands in your absence, and it is even more wonderful to know that they are with someone inserting fun, learning, and affection into their days. You will not find a more intelligent, poised, mature, reliable, fun, observant, hard-working, and loving nanny out there. She is loaded with wisdom on all things child rearing (and, honestly, in general), and I trust her and her judgment totally and completely. She also knew exactly what I needed and longed for as a working mom, sending me plenty of photos/videos and even keeping a leather-bound book of sweet and funny anecdotes from their days (in addition to the typical log of eating/sleeping/diaper changes). She connected not only our children—but us as parents—to other families in the area with whom I believe we will be lifelong family friends. I was astounded at how quickly she transcended the nanny cliques that can exist here and became instantly friendly with nannies across all cultures and age groups. In addition to taking our children on consistent play dates with other children of like ages, she constantly came up with fun activities to take them to and to engage them in. She was become a complete expert in all of the playgrounds and activities for babies/children across the city. She was also great at guiding our children through developmental milestones. It was not uncommon for us to return after work to our apartment, with it in an impossibly clean state and her playing with one of the boys on the floor. We also relied on her to take the children to the pediatrician many times and to countless other appointments across the city. As a bonus, she is an excellent cook, who knows how to make delicious yet healthy meals for your kids that they will actually eat. She is certified in First Aid and infant CPR ( I updated my certification alongside her), and she has substantial experience as a nanny. She was with the family before us for 9 years (in Tribeca and Murray Hill), and the mother in that family spoke only glowingly of her when we talked. She is a truly special person whom you won’t regret bringing into your life if you hire her, and I’m happy to speak in further detail about her qualifications and wonderful attributes should you desire. She is seeking a family in Manhattan with an infant and can be available at any point in the morning until 6 p.m. (with the ability to stay late on occasion as needed).

Parent Reference

My nanny and family manager of the last twelve years is looking for a new family to work with. My children are now 10 and 12 and as much as I like the full time help, I do not need it. From day one, Martha was the baby whisperer. She had my children on schedules and was able to juggle their school pick-ups, sports and clubs as they got older. She did this all not only with organization, but also with kindness and so much love. She arrives early and when we needed her to stay late, she was always willing. We are heartbroken to have her move on; you would be lucky to have Martha become part of your family.

After 3 years, we are moving out of the city, so want to help our nanny find a new family. Maria has cared for our son since he was 5 months old--she is like a second mother. Maria is everything you would want in a caregiver: loving, patient, and kind, observant, and experienced with children of all ages and as a first time mom in NYC it was such a relief to know that my son was always safe and well cared for even when I was not around. Maria is especially skilled with infants and toddlers, as she was a registered Nurse in Ecuador in the NicU. From the beginning, Maria was attuned to respecting our schedule and continuing that throughout our time together, always on-time and organized. Maria has a strong network of nanny’s in the Upper West Side, and from a very young age coordinated and arranged playdates in the neighborhood so they could socialize with other kids, and helped them form their first friendships. Maria is very active and always looking for ways to engage the kids--taking them to libraries, museums, parks and playgrounds. Over the years I have received many compliments from other parents who recognize my son on the playground or library and say “wow you have an amazing and wonderful nanny” - as she is ‘never on the phone like other nannies parents have seen’. Maria is extremely health conscious herself and with the our son, teaching him about the importance of hand washing ( pre-COVID19), he never had a diaper rash and even barely a cold through the years - always making sure they are eating fresh, healthy food and getting lots of fresh air and exercise. Maria and I worked together to have him potty trained just after he turned 2 -with great success! I get many compliments on my son’s advanced Spanish & English skills and manners, and I know that this is in large part because of how Maria interacts with him. Maria truly loves our son and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives, and she will always be part of our family and we even celebrated Mother’s Day & Father’s day with her extended family! She is such a wonderful person and caregiver. We will miss her terribly, but we know that there is another family who will benefit from her love and care. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

Parent Reference

Jackie has been with our family for over 17 years, from the time that my kids were toddlers and newborns to graduation. She has literally become part of our family. While we would love for Jackie to stay with us indefinitely (our mostly-grown kids are still attached), our needs are not what they once were. Jackie is looking to transition to a new family, just as she transitioned to ours many years ago. Over the years, Jackie has been exceedingly reliable and trustworthy, caring for our children through the many stages of their lives--from baby classes to play dates, napping and potty-training, through school and after-school activities, pick-up/drop-off and everything in-between (she knows UWS very well and very easily makes new nanny friends). She has also been our personal home manager, keeping our household in order, grocery shopping, light cleaning when the kids were younger (heavier cleaning when the kids got older), managing their schedules, and keeping us informed of all their goings on. She is methodical and efficient in her work, and agreeable when asked to do more. Mostly, Jackie was a loving caregiver to our children, always calm and kind, but strong and commanding. She raised our children just as she raised her own two children and now a grand-baby! We recently placed her with a family with a newborn, who unfortunately will be moving from NYC (post-COVID). We would happily recommend her to another loving family.

Parent Reference

Our beloved nanny, Martha, whom we begged to move with us to Miami in January, was with another family, who unfortunately had to let her go due to circumstances surrounding COVID. She is a loving, caring individual, and wonderful mother to three of her own outstanding women, and honestly one of the BEST nannies! Martha came to us when my son (now two and a half) was born and was with her prior family for 18 years. As a first time mom, she guided me in so many ways, always supportive and encouraging, but never overpowering. She has helped me with all essential “mom/caregiver” duties including, but never limited to—food prep, being a personal assistant to a toddler, scheduling play dates, classes, naps etc., potty training, magician with a swiffer, and teacher, both in English and Spanish. She is loyal, calm, kind, and always goes above and beyond. Her knowledge of the neighborhood is invaluable, and her enthusiasm for every music class, park date, and even rainy day (hello transit museum for the hundredth time) made everyday fun and adventurous. One of the greatest testaments to her character, and role as a caregiver, is how incredibly happy my son was everyday. I feel personally lucky to have had the time we did with her, and know my son benefited and continues to flourish, because of the care, and love she gave to him.

We are so sad to part with Nerissa. We are moving from NYC to VA and, despite my best efforts, I have not been able to convince her to move with us :( Nerissa has been a part of our family for 4 years. She started with us when our oldest son was 11 months and since then we have had another child who is now 18 months old. Nerissa came to us with significant childcare experience and, with our family, she is gained additional experience with toddlers, newborns and a child with ASD. My husband and I work late hours and Nerissa fixed dinner for our children every night. She was flexible with us when we were running late at work. Nerissa happily brought our kids all over Manhattan for various classes. She took care of their laundry, bottles, dishes and we never came home to apartment with toys strewn all over it (all though that would happen again within minutes of her leaving). She also gave the kids their bath. Nerissa is very responsible, reliable, trustworthy and most of all, kind. Currently, she has left her life in NYC to come to VA to help my mother-in-law who is ill, care for our children while we work from home. Sadly, she has to go back to her home and her life. We wish her the best and hope that she is blessed with a wonderful family for her next nanny job.

We’ve had to make the very difficult decision to let Tarna go after next month in light of her not being able to come to our apartment on the Upper West Side for the foreseeable future. She lives in Brooklyn and would need transportation to/from work. For the past ~1.5 years, she’s watched our son and has been just absolutely wonderful, trustworthy, and intelligent. For anyone looking and able to have someone come to your home during this time, you’d be lucky to have her caring for your child(ren). Please reach out to me if you are interested.

The MOST WONDERFUL NANNY is now available full-time! We are heartbroken to let go of our beloved nanny, Maureen, but our living situation has recently changed. Maureen has been with our family for 7 years - since my daughter was born and my son was 3 years old. She is seeking a new family, preferably with a baby/twins/young children in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Live out is preferred, but she’s happy to travel with you for the summer if that’s what your plans include :) She is warm, loving, incredibly competent and completely trustworthy. I have always been 100% confident that my children are safe and well-cared-for when they are with her. When they were babies/toddlers, she kept them on schedule and shared with us what they were doing each day through pictures and a joint notebook we shared. She understands stages of development (eating, learning, socializing) and has always made sure my children are engaged in age-appropriate activities. Maureen is happy to set up play dates and find interesting activities both in and out of the home. At this point, my childrens’ friends at school come over to her directly to see if they can play. She has a friendly warmth and great laugh that draw both adults and children to her. She has always cooked well-balanced meals for them 3x day, taken care of their room and laundry, and made sure they were bathed, clean and well-loved when we weren’t there. She has also watched them when we’ve gone away for long weekends. She has 3 grown kids of her own (which was important to me), so she can be very flexible. Maureen tidies the house beautifully, will run errands, will travel (US citizen), and, most importantly, she will care for your kids as if they are her own. I work from home, so I typically spend a good part of the day in close quarters with her. I must say, she’s incredibly good company during breaks – and she often makes me lunch, which is awesome. When I hired her, I was blown away by her references from families she’d been with for multiple years. I had never heard people rave so much about a nanny! I quickly learned why. As I write this, she’s reading with my daughter on Zoom. My kids light up when they see her – as I know yours will, too. I can go on and on about her terrific qualities … Please reach out to learn more and to get Maureen’s contact information. [email protected]
