Parent Reference

Our family moved away from the NYC area in the spring of 2020 and we were incredibly sad to lose our beloved nanny, Fanta. Fanta was absolutely wonderful with both our toddler and newborn. She started with us when my daughter was 7 months and they were very close. When my son was born, Fanta really stepped up to help our whole family through a difficult delivery and recovery. She is a pleasure to have around, very respectful and cares so much for the kids. She is honest, hard-working, and reliable. She is fluent in French. We asked that she speak only French with our children, which she did, and her English with us was great. In addition, Fanta is able to strike a difficult and delicate balance between discipline and being loving and fun. Sick days are extremely rare for her -- only two in two years. Fanta lives in the Bronx and was working for us on the Upper West Side. She has been extremely careful during COVID. Fanta completed infant/child CPR and first aid training during summer 2018, and updated her infant/child CPR training in September 2019. Fanta is looking for full-time work, ideally with a baby and/or toddler. She is available to start right away. Please reach out if you would like to speak with Fanta or have any questions. I cannot say enough about Fanta and hope she can find a caring family who loves her as much as we do. We miss her dearly!!

We are so sad to be parting ways with our beloved nanny Alisha. Alisha is no ordinary Nanny – she is absolutely one of the best in the business. She deeply loves caring for children and has devoted her entire life to it. She is incredibly warm, engaging and patient (so much more so than us). She has looked after our 3 children with grace, devotion, and love. Throughout the pandemic she came to our apartment every single day. She gets the kids out of bed at the start of the day and by the time she leaves they are ready to go to bed. We always come home to happy and joyful kids. She does everything for our young children (6 months, 3 and 5) from making all their healthy and yummy meals, to picking up and dropping the older kids at childcare on some days, to dressing them and doing their washing and organizing amazing play dates with other kids. Alisha has created an entire community for our kids. Alisha is an open communicator and a joy to be around. She is calm under pressure and never gets flustered and she is never on her phone (except to send updates to us). We have received so much proactive and unrequested amazing feedback about her from other parents and educators. She entertains the kids with fabulous songs and games and never uses screen time. Alisha is a rare gem and will be snapped up very quickly. We sadly have to move back to Australia, otherwise we would have kept her in our family for years to come.

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

Parent Reference

Our amazing nanny Ronnie is looking for a new family to work with full-time. Ronnie has 25 years of experience caring for young children. We've been blessed to have her in our home for the past 7 months; unfortunately, due to changing circumstances with our family, we are unable to keep working with her. Ronnie is extremely reliable, responsible and hard working - she came highly recommended to us and had previously had long term engagements with families, the most recent lasting 9 years. She joined our family when our son Leo was 6.5 months old and immediately identified the areas that we desperately needed help with as first-time parents. She got us on track by giving a structure to our days, with a sleep and meals schedule. She helped us sleep train Leo for his afternoon naps, which tremendously helped Leo blossom, as well as correct some minor behavior issues. The general structure and balance in turn allowed for us parents to stop spinning around and made us feel like we were in the hands of a professional who knows exactly what she's doing and who can guide you. She fed - and sometimes even cooked - Leo's meals and snacks, took him to the playground, played with him, read him stories. She was very helpful to us parents, always kept the kitchen tidy and made sure the apartment was left in great condition at the end of each day; she occasionally even cooked very tasty dishes for and us as well and was also available to help with Leo's laundry. Ronnie was always very flexible with last minute changes and willing to stay late; she stayed late a few times to allow for us to go on a date night or out with friends, and even stayed overnight for two nights when both my husband and I were traveling for work. Even though it was our first time away from Leo, we trusted her completely. Not only did she help us raise our little Leo and did so lovingly, but she was a huge support to me as well - as I was working from home, we got to know one another and I got to enjoy talking to her - she is very smart, sensitive and lot of fun, which helped me enormously through some delicate moments. We consider her a friend. She is very responsible and takes Covid precautions very seriously, always wears a face mask in public, practices social distancing, washes her hands multiple times per day and sanitizes any public surfaces that Leo might get in contact with. She has been testing for Covid regularly in the past few months as a precaution. We can't recommend her enough - the family that will hire her will be most lucky to have her. Please email me at [email protected] if you'd like to know more.

It is my honor to recommend my incredible nanny Moletha Edwards (Mo). Mo has been a nanny for more than 15 years, taking care of newborns, toddlers and infants. I met her through mutual friends. I was looking for a caregiver for my son who was 3 years old at the time, because my nanny was relocating for college. Mo was with us for two wonderful years. From December 2018 until December 2020. Due to the COVID health crisis my family decided to relocate and unfortunately Mo is not able to come with us to Long Island. My first impression of Mo was great. My son gravitated to her from the moment she walks into our home. He sat on her lap for the duration of the interview and that’s when I knew she was the perfect fit for us. Mo engaged my son in age appropriate fun activities, which includes games, reading, and arts and crafts. She also takes him out daily for walks and network with other nannies with kids the same age for play dates. She takes him to the playground, library for story time and the museum. Mo knows how to structure her time well, and created a daily routine for him but also flexible if there are last minute changes. Her approach to caring for our child complements our parenting well, as she respect our personal philosophies while being confident enough to independently make day-to-day decisions regarding our son. She’s respectful, honest, reliable, always punctual and truly a part of our family, and we appreciate her. I left each day confident that my child would be safe, happy and engaged. She and I had excellent communication. I offer you my highest possible recommendation for Mo as a Nanny. She can be reached at 718-690-6235. Mo is available ASAP.

Loraine was with our family from September 2017, when our girls were 5 months old. Loraine formed a strong bond with the girls and was an exceptional caretaker, navigating their growth from infancy through toddlerhood. Thanks to her patience and nurturing we have very happy and mild-tempered children. Either our parenting styles were very similar or she easily adapted to our philosophy. Thanks to Loraine, our girls have patience, empathy and kindness. Our third child was born when the twins were 19 months. She developed a special bond with the new baby. Loraine helped keep house for me. She would inform me of what food and supplies were running low, tell me when the kids outgrew clothing and keep their rooms in order. Loraine was great at keeping to the kids’ schedule. She took them to classes, the zoo, playgrounds and on walks. She independently found programming at the library for them. Loraine was punctual and reliable. On occasion where I needed her to come early or stay late she could be flexible. Loraine demonstrated ability to safely care for three children under the age of 3 years old. She is probably overqualified for anything less! I recommend Loraine James without reservation! Please don’t hesitate to call.

Dawn has been with us since my youngest was just over a year, at first helping me out part time. When I went back to work full time, I was so comfortable hiring her full time (8am to 6:45pm) to take my oldest to/from school, feed them all their meals, bathe them, and play with them. I feel incredibly comfortable having her take care of my two precious girls. She is always EARLY each morning, which has come in handy when they are a hot mess and I need her to start her day with us even earlier. I always come home to a spotless house (she does straighten up after the girls but will not clean/cook more formally), with fed kids, ready to start the nighttime routine. I am so sorry to lose her and if it were not for this move, I would definitely have kept her far longer.

When we first interviewed Trish almost 6 years ago, her previous-employer, Lisa, promised us that we had just hit the nanny jackpot. Years later, I contacted Lisa again to tell her how right she was and to thank her for helping bringing Trish into our lives. Trish is so much more than a nanny, she is a partner in parenting. And as such, she deserves much credit for helping us raise the happy, independent, confident 6 year old kindergartener he has become. Her 15+ years of experience has resulted in a unique combination of old-world techniques and remedies as well as knowledge of all the latest child-rearing technologies and apps. But she hasn’t just provided invaluable care to our son. She has also helped make us better parents by proactively guiding us through all the key stages of early childhood -- from sleep training, to potty training to saying, “please and thank-you.” So, it is with great confidence that I recommend Trish as a nanny. And I look forward to telling another loving family that they too have won the nanny jackpot!

Morine is the best nanny we could have asked for, and we would like to find her a new home (we’ve left NY due to Covid).

A bit about Morine:

-Amazing understanding of child development. As a first time parent, I really value Morine’s understanding of development and milestones. She guided our whole family along in terms of “what comes next.”

-Experienced caregiver. Cared for our daughter from the time she was four months old until just over 3 years old. Morine has over 20 years of experience caring for children.

-Focus on structure and manners. Morine has helped raise our daughter to communicate well (please/thank you), have appropriate table manners, and demonstrate good behavior (eliminating/minimizing tantrums).

-Meticulous detail to cleanliness. Avoided germs and taught our daughter to do the same as well. Morine ensured that our home was left in great condition at the end of each day. She established good behavior with our daughter as well, in terms of washing hands and tidying up her toys.

-Great at networking and ensuring the socialization of our daughter. Morine built up a network of other caregivers in our area and would arrange to play dates with other children.

-Reliable. I could go to the office and have total peace of mind that my child was safe and well cared for and that my home was in order. Morine was totally in command and took her responsibilities very seriously. I didn’t receive calls when I was at the office, except for one occasion, when our daughter was violently ill. Morine exhibited excellent judgment.

-Punctual: In the almost three years she worked for us, I can’t recall Morine ever being late.

BEST NANNY EVER - NYKKI For the past 18 years we've had the immense pleasure of working with Nykki (Allison Nicole St. Bernard) as a full time, 5-day a week nanny. Nykki cared for our two children (and dog) from the time our oldest was two weeks old through his recent acceptance to University. She's the best. She's kind, fun, caring, energetic, smart, dependable and beloved by just about everyone in the neighborhood. Nykki is a pillar of stability - she's never late and has never missed a day of work. She isn't a cleaning lady but keeps our house tidy, does all the kids' laundry, keeps their rooms clean and never leaves a dish behind. She adores children, is great with babies, perfect with toddlers, tweens and teenagers. She's a driving force, always eager to take the kids to the park, a museum, organize a playdate or play basketball and board games for hours on end. To our children she is family - equally adept at preparing their lunch or encouraging them to do their homework. She has a sixth sense about when to clear out, has perfected the end of day hand off and always, gracefully, allows parents to take the lead. Our kids love her, their friends love her, our friends love her, our dog (who she took on long walks every day and cared for) loved her, we love her. Simply put Nykki is the best. She will be with us until she finds another gig. But there is no better nanny (or person) in all of New York City. We cannot recommend her more enthusiastically. I am happy to answer any questions. I can be reached at 347-439-6251 or contact Nykki directly at 917-297-0446 or [email protected] Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Yolanda is a loving, smart, hardworking, reliable career nanny who is available due to our move out of NYC. Yolanda has been with our family for a little over a year and there has not been a day during this time that I did not count myself extremely lucky to have found her. My only regret is that our time together is not longer. Yolanda joined us when my younger daughter was 5 months old and helped me a great deal during the infant stage and now the toddler stage. Yolanda also helped me a great deal when I had our second daughter in November -- proving that she is also excellent with newborns. She knows how to care for children of any age with love, patience, and safety. Yolanda deeply engages with children by getting on their level -- she is not a spectator, but rather an active participant in whatever the child is doing. She loves to play games, visit the park, and read. Yolanda’s responsibilities also include housework (e.g. laundry, light cleaning) and meal prep when the children are sleeping/out of the house. Yolanda is extremely honest, reliable, and hardworking. She takes initiative and never misses an opportunity to be productive to support the parents she works with. My older daughter asks for Yolanda during the weekend when they are not together. We will miss Yolanda dearly and hope she finds a wonderful, kind new family. Prior to our family, Yolanda worked with another family for 10+ years. Please PM me with inquiries. Thank you!

Seeta is a blessing! She has worked for me for about 14 years and would still be if not for pandemic reasons. Seeta has a very calm, comforting demeanor that makes you feel confident your child will be in great, protected hands at all times. In her 14 years with me I have never heard Seeta raise her voice or lose her temper with my now 11 and 15 YO boys. She is an active caretaker, meaning she's not just sitting on the couch bouncing your newborn in a baby chair and watching soaps all day. She is right by your child on the playground instead of sitting on the benches with other caretakers. At toddler age, she is interacting with them and making sure they are not in physical danger. She follows your rules, and has the pram set daily with snacks, bottles, drinks, water balloons, balls etc. She makes sure the children have helmets on with scooters and bikes, and that hands are held when crossing the streets. Basically she has anything they may need for afternoons at the PG or pool. Over the years I have had more than one mom come up to me wanting to let me know how great she is with my children, and some moms wanting to know when I wouldn't need her services anymore, because they are wanting to hire her for their children. That's quite a compliment. Seeta also makes playdates with other caretakers and sees that the kids play well together. I trust Seeta implicitly. She keeps the home neat and clean, does the kids laundry and makes their bed, feeds and bathes them all before I get home from work. It's so nice to come home to a clean quite environment after a loud hectic day at work. She is always punctual, has stayed for me later if needed on occasion, she has called in sick perhaps 4-5 days in the 14 years she's been with me. She has even taken my kids into her home when my husband and I have wanted to take a quick get away. Her now adult children have grown fond of mine and they are very helpful and family oriented as well. She has also helped with our family pets and cares for them during the day when they were in school FT. I cannot say enough good things about Seeta. I am very fond of her as a person and hope that she still remains in my life for years to come. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. She is an absolute gem. If you are a nervous new mom needing to leave your precious newborn to go back to work, rest assured she will take care of your baby like her own.

Yvonne was our nanny from the time our daughter was a few months old until she was 11 and she is an absolutely wonderful nanny. She is a very responsible, caring, gentle and encouraging person. I particularly appreciated how engaged she was with our daughter when at home or on regular trips to the parks, museums and around the neighborhood. She was a dream come true for our family. I frequently received compliments from other parents about how great Yvonne was with our daughter and I always felt completely secure with leaving our daughter in Yvonne’s care. We had such a great experience with her! Yvonne also has experience with newborns, including working as a baby nurse. Happy to do reference calls.

Rose was a wonderful, loving nanny to our three children for many years. She left that job a few years ago when our youngest entered high school and has since been caring for a little boy (now 3 years old) who adores her. That family (contact info for the mother below) is moving out of the city so she is looking for a new job. Rose is energetic, kind, cheerful and exceptionally reliable. In all her years with us, she only missed two days of work! She has a lovely gentle manner with children and is able to get them to do things -- like eat their vegetables, put on their mittens or settle down for bed -- that parents sometimes have trouble doing. Our kids adore her. I am delighted to answer any questions you have about her, as would the mother of the little boy she currently cares for: Erica Silen, 617-529-0077. Rose lives on the Upper West Side and would prefer to work for an Upper West Side family or one that is reachable by one bus or subway.

Natasha is amazing. I am so sad to have to let her go. Our schedules have changed due to Covid and I’d love to find her a new warm family. I’m a first time mom and I was beyond nervous to leave my 3 month old baby with a nanny when I returned to work in January 2020. I immediately bonded with Natasha and my newborn was happy and comfortable in her arms from day 1. Natasha is punctual , reliable, organized and clean. She would text me throughout the day to fill me in on everything that was going on. I honestly don’t think I could’ve handled returning to work so soon if it weren’t for Natasha and how comfortable I felt with her. She even waited for us to find out for sure when we will return to work, but sadly, our schedules aren’t back to normal yet, and I’d like to help her find a new job. You can call, text or email me with any questions you have .

Wendy is kind, energetic, fun-loving and very even-keeled. She has been a nanny for 20+ years in Manhattan and the surrounding area. She started working for our family when our son was 3 months and I had to return to work after mat leave. I was apprehensive as a first time mom and she made the transition so much easier. She has taught me so many things that I would have never known (i.e. what foods to start with, what to give him when he was constipated, what products to use for his sensitive skin, when to lower the crib, when to transition out of a swaddle, etc. etc.). We are so upset that she cannot come with us, unfortunately we are moving too far away. I am happy to talk to anyone who is looking for a nanny as any family would be lucky to have Wendy as an extension of theirs.

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

It is my honor to recommend my incredible Nanny Lisa Slater. Lisa is a talented, intelligent, special person who has helped mould my Children into Happy, polite social kids. Lisa has been our Nanny for 4 years from when my Son Atom was 6 months old and my second son Orion was born 3 years Later. Lisa treats them with love and respect and demonstrates the importance of sharing, cooperation and friendship. The kids adore her. Atom was with Lisa all day. Through reading, games and play Lisa engages him constantly. She talks and sings to him all day long, which has definitely contributed to Atom remarkable language development and comprehension. Lisa established a routine for Atom from the beginning so every day they read, do a group activity or music or storytime classes with other kids, and get fresh air at the playground. Even before Atom could speak, Lisa mirrored proper manners like “water please” and “thank you”. When Atom started school from 9-12. Orion was with Lisa all day. She would pick Atom up from school she usually takes them to the playground, Library classes or play dates. She always finds engaging fun activities for the kids to do including art projects, visits to the zoo or a museum or a special trip on the ferry. Lisa established a network of nannies with kids the same age who were among my kids closet friends. Lisa sets an example for Atom on how to treat other people especially his brother. Lisa is incredibly trustworthy, punctual and reliable. I left each day confident that my kids would be safe, happy and engaged. She and I had excellent communication. I offer you my highest possible recommendation for Lisa as a Nanny. She is amazing and very special to my family. I interviewed a dozen women for the position and no one held a candle to Lisa. As soon as we met her, we knew it was a match, we hired her on the spot. Any family would be tremendously fortunate to have Lisa care for your child/children. We would of loved Lisa to be our Nanny forever, but we moved to Westchester. Lisa can be reached at 347-922-6184. Lisa is available ASAP.

After four happy years, our nanny Gigi is looking for a new family as our daughter no longer needs full-time care. Gigi has a wealth of experience looking after young children in particular, is utterly reliable and has a nurturing and caring approach in everything she does. Over the years, she has called in sick only once, has stayed back at short notice when required, and is always punctual with appointments. As new parents, she had introduced us to a whole community of like-minded families, organizing numerous playdates and a whirlwind of engaging activities for our then baby. As our daughter has grown older, Gigi has managed school runs, after school activities, playdates and everything else in between for two busy working parents.

Parent Reference

We whole-heartedly recommend Alisha Felix for work with your families. Alisha has been an absolute gift to us, particularly as both families were first-time parents going back to work. Both of our families have now relocated, and continue to be committed to helping Alisha find a new family to love, and who will love her, too. Ideally Alisha would like for her next role to be in a full-time long-term arrangement where she can help your family grow over the years. She would also prefer to continue working in Brooklyn as she is also a resident of the borough. More about Alisha: Alisha cared for our girls from when they were three months old and made it truly possible for us as brand-new parents to trust that our babies were in good hands. She helped us get through (many) sleepless nights and get the girls on sleep and eating schedules, made sure we had plenty of books to read to them always, and helped us to understand their next developmental milestones. She understood and supported their individual personalities and made sure they were engaged in activities that interested them. Of course things look a little bit different now in terms of activities and Covid, but Alisha was always attuned to what was going on in the neighborhood and encouraged us to sign the girls up for classes and wanted to make sure they experienced as much of the outside world as possible. And of course she always sent pictures throughout the day, so we knew how active the girls' days were and how well she was taking care of them and loving them. We celebrated holidays and the girls' first birthdays with her, and she truly became part of our families. Beyond being a wonderful and loving nanny, Alisha loves our girls and loves taking care of children. As the great-granddaughter, granddaughter, and daughter of midwives and doulas, it is in her blood, and she knows the critical role of caregivers in our community. She commits to this role both in how she approaches her work and in her own continuing education. She has her CPR certification and is a Newborn Care Specialist. Prior to joining our families, Alisha worked in Brooklyn in a planned shorter-term arrangement after being with the same family for years. Our moves are exciting transitions for our families, but we are truly heartbroken to be leaving Alisha. Had it not been for our own relocations out of state, we had truly hoped she would have also been our girls' caretaker for years. It is difficult to express how lucky we feel that we have had Alisha in our families. Every day, we knew that our children were safe, engaged, and loved. We are happy to share more about our experience with her. Please feel free to reach out.

Cathy-Ann Robertson had begun working for us as a caretaker for our son since he was 3 months old and stayed with us till he was over 3 years old. During the three years we had gotten to know Cathy-Ann, she has proved to be dependable, responsible, patient, nurturing and kind. She is very respectful and has always been sensitive to the subtle nuances of how we wanted to raise our son. She offered advice in a caring way without questioning what we wanted for our son. Cathy-Ann has two boys of her own, as well as a lot of experience as a caretaker for other children. She also has experience as a preschool teacher from her home island, St. Vincent. She has taken care of children of all ages including newborns, infants and toddlers. All of this makes her very knowledgeable about how to talk to, care for and entertain children. Cathy-Ann was great with my son, always warm, friendly and engaging. She set up play dates, made healthy food for him, took him to the library regularly, read to him and was just the nicest person to have around. Her energy was comforting and positive. I have never heard a word of concern or neglect about her. We have come to really love Cathy-Ann and she is part of our family. It is only because we moved to Westchester that she left us. She is a very sweet woman, very reliable and we are happy to recommend her as a caretaker for children.

This serves as a recommendation for Ash who works for me as a nanny for the past 7 years taking care of my 2 sons, ages 6 and 7. She is nurturing, kind and an amazing person with my kids who adore her very much. As a responsible individual she keeps close watch on my sons while I’m away from home, cooks fresh and healthy meals every day and collects them from school. She even proactively organizes play dates with their friends. Having her as part of the family has been a fundamental aspect in the life of my children and I have no doubt that the family she moves on to will love her just as much. Ash worked for me everyday until the impact of Covid-19 brought almost everything to a standstill. Now she only works on weekends and is therefore seeking to work with a family from Monday to Friday. Whist we respect her personal time, she is always able and willing to flex her schedule to accommodate us. During this challenging Covid era she strictly adheres to all sanitation and personal hygienic measures, including physical and social distancing where necessary, to ensure the safety of herself and others. Her dedication and well earned experience is unquestionable and evident in the way she diligently exercises her duties and responsibilities. In this regard, I have every confidence in recommending Ash for a similar job with a family with whom she can perform with the same care, discipline and commitment.

It is a great pleasure to recommend Simone Thompson as a nanny. She has been caring for my children over 6 years. Our son Knox was 1 year and Betty was 1 month old when she started with us. Simone is without question, extremely bright, reliable, affectionate and trustworthy. Over the past 6 years she has become an integral part of our family, whom we have grown to rely heavily upon. She is always on time, rarely misses a day of work, and is always willing to work overtime if we need her. Because we are relocating I am unable to keep Simone as a nanny. She relates to our children in such a delightful way, and truly had great affection towards them. Simone knows how to structure time well, but is also flexible. She is comfortable helping our children with school work when necessary and when the children are home creates art projects with materials found in and around our house. We feel fortunate to have had Simone in our home and we are convinced that our sons owe much of their positive development to her presence. She is nurturing and protective. Our children are well-mannered and respectful which tribute to her babysitting skills. Her approach to caring for our children complements our parenting well, as she respects our personal philosophies while being confident enough to independently make day-to-day decisions regarding our sons. Please don't hesitate to contact either of us if you would like to hear more about our experiences with Simone.

She listens to and respects your priorities and how you'd like things to be done. You can trust her to use her discretion to keep your child safe. We respected her personal time, but, when we asked, Ann was able to be flexible with her schedule. In short, it is clear that being a nanny is not just a job to Ann, it is a calling.

Olive took full charge of the house in our absence - the children's rooms and any space they utilize were kept clean and orderly at all times, their wardrobes organized, baby toys sanitized. We would return from a long day of work to happy kids who were fed, bathed and in their PJs in a sparkling house. Olive truly goes above and beyond.

Wilma was with our family for almost 14 years, since our daughter (J.) was 4 months old, at which point I returned back to work post maternity leave. She is very responsible, always on time, thoughtful, and diligent. Most importantly, she is a very safe, loving, gentle, supportive, and caring person. This was a crucial quality to me, as I felt her calm, patient demeanor would be beneficial to our daughter, which was true. For me the most important thing as a new mother was that J. was safe and loved, particularly as I was away at work - which is exactly what we got with Wilma. She was with J. through every stage: infant, toddlerhood, preschool, childhood and now young teen years - and J. loves her very much. Now it is time to transition, and I want to help Wilma find another nice, loving family. She is ready to start with an infant again, or can also come in at later stage ages, she is very flexible on that. We live on the UWS, but she is also very open to other places in Manhattan. She is definitely open to Brooklyn as well, as she and her family live there. She is a kind soul, and she is a very important person to us, so I am taking an active role in helping her find a family.

Our daughter is now in school full-time, so we only need childcare in the late afternoon. Sadly, that means our incredible nanny Zymin needs to find work full-time. She would also be open to part-time in the mornings so she could split time and still pick up our daughter from school. Zymin will make for a perfect nanny for a family looking for a caregiver to grow with their family and young child. She has been with us for four years, since our daughter was 10 weeks old. She has nurtured our child and also provided support for us as first-time parents. She demonstrates the perfect combination of warmth and professionalism. She has decades of experience nannying for NYC families, so the basics of keeping a little one on a schedule, making homemade baby food, and spotting signs of readiness to potty train, for example, are second nature to her. She is kind and personable and as nurtured our daughter to become a well-behaved and well-adjusted pre-schooler. As our daughter has grown up, Zymin has provided excellent care without babying her. Now working from home, we see their interactions more closely, and it warms our hearts to see and hear their conversations, as if they are old girlfriends. Zymin is incredibly dependable and responsible – arriving on time and keeping up with the variations in our daughter’s schedule with activities and classes. During the pandemic, her commitment to following the appropriate protocols has put our mind at ease so that we can maintain as much normalcy as possible during a crazy time. I can’t say enough about how highly we recommend Zymin for a family looking for a kind, experienced and responsible caregiver for their child. Feel free to reach out to her directly at 917.509.8833 or PM me.

Our nanny Mena has been an incredible caretaker to our daughter Sasha since her infancy, and is now looking for a new opportunity with a newborn/infant. Mena has over 20 years of experience in caring for young children, and we’ve been blessed to have her in our home for the last 1 1/2 years, where we consider her another member of our family. In fact our daughter has come to love Mena so much she would run to the door when she heard Mena's keys jiggling and instantly start smiling. Our daughter had never accepted a bottle or a pacifier from any of us until the day she met Mena -who was able to coax her to finally start drinking for the first time and eventually take a pacifier. Mena gives structure to our daughter’s days, giving her all her meals, snacks, naps and taking her outside to the park or just for walks outside - always sending us photos and updates throughout the day. Mena exhibits amazing patience in everything she does from feeding our daughter to putting her down for naps - both of which our daughter usually puts up a fight. While our daughter sleeps, Mena helps with general cleaning in the kitchen and does our daughter’s laundry. During the pandemic, Mena has been the model citizen, always socially distancing and wearing her face mask in public (including when she takes our daughter to the park). She is extremely careful to always ensure our daughter’s safety, so we always feel at ease and have peace of mind when our child’s care is in her hands. Any family would be lucky to have Mena as part of theirs, and we can't recommend her enough (feel free to email us at [email protected] for a reference).

Are you a new mom or dad looking for a nanny who will love your children and give you peace of mind that everything with them is taken care of when you're not there? I have your nanny! My children (now 8 and 5) adore our amazing nanny Catherine. Catherine was with our family for six years since my son Tate was 3 months old and transitioned to our regular babysitter when they started school. My children love her so much. They would run to the window every night after she leaves to shout their "I love yous" from the 8th floor down to her on the sidewalk below. I was so heavy-hearted when it was time for her to move on, and now it turns out that her latest family no longer needs her due to job loss during this pandemic, so she is looking for a new lucky family. At first, she can appear a bit shy with adults, but Catherine instantly connects and bonds with children. It was clear from her first interview with us that Catherine was so focused on our son, and her deep love for him was evident very early on. My mother, an early childhood educator, picked up on all of these things that Catherine was doing to engage with Tate that I didn't even notice. She has a gift. Catherine was always focused on our children, never distracted by her phone. She would always be singing and reading books to them. She made a point of meeting other nannies in our neighborhood, so our kids had playdates and social outlets with peers during the day. We always would run into kids in the neighborhood who our kids knew well from their park time and playdates with Catherine. She had our kids outside as much as she could, running around the park, in sprinklers, being kids. Which brings me to the next of Catherine's attributes: she is incredibly responsible and always exhibits good judgment. If the kids got wet or dirty playing at the park (which I love!), she would always have them bathed and clean by the end of the day. She left our home more spotless than we left it for her. She was always on time and never took sick days - maybe two total in the six years with our family. Somehow she maintains this perfect balance of love, activity, and order. She makes it look effortless. We would be happy to recommend Catherine and just want her to spend the next 6+ years with a great family who would be happy to appreciate all of her gifts.

She is loving, patient, punctual and always goes above and beyond to help our daughter reach her milestones. Before working for us, Hillary worked for a family in Brooklyn for 11 years and the relationship she's built with her former families is truly remarkable.

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. We absolutely love her and any family would be lucky to have her care for their children.

Charlene Joseph is just the best nanny and she is available this month! You couldn’t hope for a kinder and more capable caregiver. She took care of my son for 6 years until he was in his early teens. He is now grown but they continue to talk, often phoning one another or conversing through texts. One couldn’t hope for a better outcome. Charlene taught him how to trust, how to forge friendships and how to care for others. From our son’s point of view Charlene is an extension of our family - he says three people raised him; and he says, still have his back thru our continued love and care. From my side, I am so grateful to have had such an insightful and compassionate individual help raise my son. To this day I listen carefully to Charlene as she imparts wisdom and observations. I can only hope that another family can have the same care and love that she gave ours. Charlene is a special person – warm, insightful and capable. Charlene has taken care of babies, toddlers and school-aged kids with four different families over the last 20 years. In our case she started when my son was six. He was a shy child so Charlene helped him make close friends, organizing play dates and arranging activities that fostered camaraderie. She taught Cole and his friends to cook (she makes a mean fried chicken); she helped build forts - cutting boxes into towns and masterminded zoos using his stuffed animals. Soon there were a slew of friends in his life and the house was full of art and projects. As he started school she helped him develop his primary academic skills. She was critical in elementary school; particularly supporting his math and writing skills – but she also understood that sports were important to Cole’s sense of success. She took him to games and the park on a daily basis – cheering on the sidelines. From my husband and my point of view Charlene did so much to make our lives less hectic. In addition to fostering the well being of our child, she was a punctual, dedicated, and an intelligent caregiver. When we came home in the evening, the house was tidy and all was calm. Her cooking is good and she always pitched in, helping in countless ways. As a US citizen English is her native language and she is able to travel as needed. Most importantly she is unendingly trustworthy and capable. When Cole was left with Charlene we knew he was as well cared for, as if we were there ourselves. She is smart and resourceful, a plus in all aspects of child rearing. With the inevitable accidents, (at least if you have a boy who likes sports), she made the right decisions. When he was ill she was patient and unfailing, when he craved a supporter she assisted with kindness. Whatever the task, Charlene was always available for us - often beyond the call of duty. At age sixteen Cole was ill for an extended period of time. During that year he wanted only three people around him, his father, Charlene and myself. It is a testament to her character, and to her relationship with him that she was there for him even though she no longer worked for our family. Charlene, and her sister Sharon, played cards with him, told him stories, recounted tall tales until a very sick child laughed and forgot his illness. Her love for him made all the difference. It is our great pleasure to recommend Charlene, we love her dearly and anyone who hires her will be fortunate. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. We are working home during the pandemic and can be reached on my cell (917-364-0072) Best, Leslie

Shernelle was our caregiver for our son and daughter for over 5 years, and started with our family when our daughter was 4 months old and our son was 2 years old. She is incredibly dedicated, responsible and trustworthy. She loves babies and I was always amazed at how she easily my daughter to sleep and keep her on her schedule (which I personally struggled with). Most importantly, she is a wonderful blend of strength, order and warmth - she managed schedules across two busy children\\'s lives, and does so with a warmth and joy.. Shernelle loved to play with our children always coming up with creative, fun projects. She did not watch TV and was always finding ways to engage our children without devices. She also built strong relationships with nannies and stay at home moms which is helped ensure our kids have playdates. Our son and daughter have grown into thoughtful, loving children and I give Shernelle great credit for her part in that. When my daughter started kindergarten so we no longer required full-time help and Shernelle went to work for my niece and her college roommate who both had babies. Here is my nieces feedback: Shernelle has been with our family for a year as the caregiver to our daughter as well as a friend\\'s son full time. Due to circumstances related to covid, my family & our friend\\'s have both made the decision to move out of the city. Knowing that we were losing an incredible caregiver made the decision to leave even more difficult for both of us. She is kind and loving and communicated easily with both families. The kids were at very different stages when she started; my daughter was 10 months and our friend\\'s son was 3 months. Shernelle managed their different ages and schedules seamlessly and we both always felt that each child was getting love and attention. She is excellent at managing both kids\\' schedules and keeping them safe and happy at all times. She kept them active, prepared healthy meals and contributed to their growth and development. I highly recommend Shernelle and she is also fully capable and willing to work for two families if anyone is looking for a nanny share.

Both children have flourished under her care and she takes pride in teaching them developmental tasks, reading, singing etc. She actively engages with the kids.

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

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