Stacy has been with our family for three years, since my younger daughter was an infant and my older daughter was in preschool. They are now three and six and we no longer need full-time care. She is energetic, responsible, motivated and patient, and adept at juggling the needs of two children of different ages. She spends hours in the playground with the kids and has taken them to the beach, the zoo and handled play dates and after school activities. She drives and has her own vehicle, is extremely reliable, always on time and very communicative. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caregiver.

Coleen has been with us almost 4 years - since my twin boys were 9 months old and has been a rock for us through a number of severe family and health crises. She is incredibly professional, always punctual/early, responsible and organized and has cared, at various times, for every member of our family. As importantly, she is warm, fun and engaging with the boys – they adore her. She takes the kids out every day, all day (unless the weather is bad) for fun adventures in the park, library etc. She keeps them active (important as they are VERY high energy!) and teaches them to be curious about the world around them. She has guided them (and us) through every step along their development from walking to talking to toilet training to self-care (getting dressed, brushing teeth), managing their emotions, and to being responsible young members of the household (cleaning up their toys). Since they have been in preschool, she also does their “homework” with them, teaching them their letters and the first steps in reading. She is also very neat and always leaves the house cleaner and more organized than when she walked in, helping with the kids’ laundry, and organizing closets and drawers when she has free time. She keeps in touch with many of the families she has worked with in the past – she has over 30 years of experience – and can provide additional references from them as well. We are so sad to part ways with Coleen (though I am sure we will stay in touch), but the boys are transitioning to full time summer camp and then kindergarten in the Fall.

Annette has been with us for eight years, since our daughter was 6 months old. She took excellent care of her from day one. Our children are getting older and as of July will be in all-day activities, so she is looking for her next family. Annette has been a nanny for decades and with each family for a long time (we found her on this site!). We have never doubted for a moment our children’s safety and well-being in her care. Annette is known around town for always being an enthusiastic participant in the children’s activities, whether music class or library read-alouds. She is the playdate (and school-day-off special activity) ringleader, and our children are always busy playing with their friends at our house or theirs. She is great at keeping track of our kids’ busy schedules and driving them wherever they need to be. We have been stopped on the street or in school so many times by people complimenting her.

We are so thrilled to write this letter of recommendation for Dulari Gooman. She has been an amazing nanny for our son Mikey for 4 years and we could not have asked anyone better. She has been with us since Mikey was born and as first time parents, really helped us navigate the world of raising a son. Dulari has always treated Mikey with so much love and has really become a part of our family. On top of that, she really handled everything for him. From cooking (always making sure he had fruits and veggies) to scheduling playdates, she really did it all and always kept him entertained (without tv). We never had any concern whatsoever for his needs, as those were always taken care of. Dulari is sweet, fun and gets along really well with everyone. She has made friends with other nannies in our building and the kids are now great friends. Overall, we could not have asked for a better person to help with Mikey. He loves her so much and they have a very special bond. We would have loved to have Dulari for many more years, but we are moving and parting ways with Dulari is one of the hardest parts of that move. If you have the opportunity to bring Dulari into your lives, definitely do it for both you and your kids. You will be very happy you did. If we can help with anything at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we would be happy to discuss.

I’m writing to recommend my wonderful Montessori nanny Paige. Paige came highly recommended by a close friend of ours and started when my daughter was 2.5 months old. We couldn’t have loved them more! Paige went above and beyond making sure that Genevieve was stimulated, meeting every milestone and sleep trained during the night and day! Paige was patient and knowledgeable on everything baby and toddler, which was an incredible asset to us as first time parents. Genevieve loved all of the activities and meals that Paige created for her in our home (sensory bins galore!) and all of the classes that Paige scoped out. Paige really knows the ins and outs of the city and helped Genevieve make a ton of baby friends! We owe so much of Genevieve’s development to Paige’s hard work and knowledge. Recently, Genevieve’s teachers asked me if my husband and I taught her baby sign language and I told her that was all Paige’s doing! We moved and Genevieve is now in school full-time but Paige has remained in Genevieve’s life and even took her to drop-in classes and museums during her school break. You will be lucky to have a nanny or baby nurse like Paige! Paige is in search of a newborn care specialist/baby nurse job, a summer travel job or a full time nanny job with a baby or young toddler. Paige has twins experience as well and can travel during the year. They’re searching for the perfect fit so if you need a nanny to start anytime between June and September, please reach out to Paige! And please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Dickey cared for my two children (ages 1 and 2.5) from October 2022 – March 2023. Our regular full-time Nanny had to leave the country for a family emergency and Dickey stepped in on a temporary basis. I was apprehensive about bringing someone new into the home as my older daughter is very clingy to me – by the end of her first day on the job my daughter was holding Dickey’s hand asking her not to go home! This was a precursor of the wonderful time we would go on to have with this incredible woman. There are so many amazing things to say about Dickey – she always comes to our home with a smile on her face and the best possible attitude, she is a naturally calm and happy person and I truly think her demeanor has rubbed off on my kids. She is incredibly patient, she knows how to walk the line between being stern but kind, never losing her cool no matter how many tantrums were thrown that day. She also genuinely loves kids, she plays with my kids all day long – she does puzzles, sings to them, creates her own mini music classes, does arts and crafts, the list goes on and on. I have never once seen her on her phone around my kids, she is 100% focused on them at all times. When Dickey shows up in the morning (always a few minutes early) – my kids are beside themselves with joy and run to go greet her. When Dickey leaves for the evening (never on time, I must remind her it is time for her to go home and rest!) – my kids try to follow her out the door. Dickey is an all-star Nanny – I am really going to miss her. She has been my right hand for the last couple of months. She is eager and happy to help me out in any way she can. Taking care of 2 kids as young as mine (they were 8 months and 2 when she started) is no easy feat – it is incredibly physically taxing and requires you to be vigilant at all times. She somehow manages to take care of my kids, stay on top of all the laundry, and even help me in the kitchen with meal prep as well. I have to ask her to sit down and take a break because if I don’t the woman doesn’t stop! She is immaculate – my home is always tidier when I come home than when I left it in the morning. Any family would be lucky to work with Dickey. Please feel free to email me or call me with any additional questions I can answer or information I can provide.

I am posting in hopes of finding a new family for our wonderful nanny, Charmaine. Charmaine has been with us for two years, starting when our younger son was just 4 months old. In that time, she’s become an integral part of our boys’ lives. And it’s only because both boys will be in school next year, that we are hoping to find Charmaine a new family. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Charmaine is loving and engaged with both of our kids. Our younger son, in particular, loves to see and cuddle his “Maine.” When he was a baby, Charmaine was a patient and attentive caretaker (and he was a bit challenging), and as he got older, Charmaine engaged him in active play, taking him to the park, spreading his toys on a blanket and getting on the ground to play with him. Even now, whenever I meet them at the park in the afternoon, she's always playing with my sons. Charmaine has incredible energy-- she reads, sings, and plays with our boys regularly and engages them in a variety of activities. She is always on the lookout for an engaging music class, or library event to take the kids to, and regularly organizes play dates and park meet-ups. Charmaine is patient, reliable, and a good communicator. We are more than happy to share our experiences and perspectives about Charmaine with any family that is interested. She is available for full-time work in early September. We met Charmaine on this site 2 years ago and hope it'll help her find her next family!

Veronica communicates with us frequently throughout the day whether a concern over our son or to send photos and videos of his play dates and activities. She arranged almost daily play dates with our son and some of those kids are still his best friends. Veronica meticulously logged every event during the day in our nanny book down to the minute. She also always left Henry’s room, toys, clothes clean, neat and orderly. She regularly organized his dresser, closet and toy chest. She also does Henry’s laundry and makes all his food. Veronica has been with our son since he was 4 months old, working closely with us to achieve every milestone along the way. He’s almost 3 and beginning a full-day preschool in the fall. Our son is fluent in Spanish due to Veronica’s skills as a Spanish tutor (she was mine for many years before becoming our nanny). We will miss her dearly and hope to help her find a new home. She’s looking for part-time work. She’s currently with us 17 hours a week, but seems open to working as few as 10 hours a week between 8 am and 5 pm. She does not work after 5 pm and does not work weekends.

I am posting to offer my highest recommendation for our incredible nanny, Marie, who has been a vital part of our family life for the past five years, since our oldest child was 3 months old. Fluent in both French and English, Marie has played a key role in fostering our children's bilingualism. Her dedication extends far beyond language teaching. She has consistently shown kindness, patience, and gentle discipline, significantly contributing to our children's overall development. Over the years, Marie has demonstrated remarkable reliability and has been incredibly adaptable, meeting our changing schedules with grace and offering additional hours of support if needed. Other parents and teachers have approached me and shared with me how much they like Marie and how lucky we are to have her as a nanny, which we appreciated hearing so much, and really speaks volumes as to the type of person and caregiver she is at all times. Marie is very proactive at making friends on the playground, with both other nannies and mothers alike, and many of our children’s first friends were made through her ability to meet and make friends through in-home playdates, at the playground, or at classes. She takes our kids to and participates as needed in their classes, prepares their meals, gives them baths, helps with their laundry, and always makes sure they have everything they need for an afternoon out (snacks, water, extra clothes, SPF, etc.). She has helped with every stage from baby led weaning, adjusting nap schedules, and potty training. She has used apps at our request that helped us track our babies feedings, naps, and diaper changes when we were at work, and has always demonstrated great judgment on when to contact us during working hours. She handles my children’s big feelings extremely well, herself staying calm through the entire cycle, and giving them space to work through their emotions. Our children adore Marie and have formed such a strong bond with her – they frequently ask for her company, even on weekends! And it’s always been clear to us that she has developed a strong bond with them too. One of the things we love the most about her, and certainly what makes it so hard for this relationship to end, is that she really loves and cares about them so deeply. It’s the greatest gift as parents to know that when you leave your children in her care, that they really are being loved and cared for so well. Marie has over 20 years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including working with multiples, both as siblings and in nanny-share arrangements. Marie is a phenomenal caregiver and cherished friend to our children, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a reliable, caring, and skilled nanny.

We are moving out of state so we unfortunately have to say goodbye to our wonderful nanny Lynda who is a dream. She has over 20 years of experience working as a twin nanny. She came into our family two and a half years ago and made our lives infinitely better. She has helped with every stage of development from naps, teething, sleep habits, behavior, health and on and on. She cooks delicious meals for our boys and is the only reason they eat any vegetables. She’s incredibly reliable and is always super engaged and enthusiastic with the kids. She reads and sings with them, and once they were old enough she worked hard to arrange play dates and fun activities like arts and crafts and parties with other kids their age. She often bakes with them too as she is a professional baker on the side and makes the most beautiful delicious cakes. She’s been extremely accommodating covering date nights and work trips for us. I always feel completely safe leaving my boys in her care. She is looking for newborn twins or single babies to start with so she can commit a longer period of time with a family. We are so sad to say goodbye to her and whoever she winds up with is truly lucky. She has a long list of glowing references from all the families she still keeps in close contact with— regularly traveling to visit her “babies” the oldest of whom are now in their 20s!

I enthusiastically recommend Valerie, who worked with my family for over a decade. She is one of the most reliable people I have ever met and is great with kids of all ages. She is very calm and I have seen her work well with our kids when they are in a great mood, or not having a good day. She is never late. She has taken maybe 1 or 2 sick days in 10 years (and she came in that day and we sent her home), and worked with us without interruption even at the height of Covid (parents both doctors and we had to go in to work every day). She is a "neat freak" who keeps the home very tidy at all times, she is early to every activity and school pickup, and personally I always loved how she watches the kids like a hawk on the playground (not everyone does this). She came to us when we had our first baby, recommended by a work colleague. That baby is now 11 years old, and she also helped us with our 2 other kids, now 5 and 7. With all 3 kids now in school full-time, we don't need full-time help any more, and Valerie is available. We will miss her. She lives in Brooklyn and prefers work in Brooklyn but will consider Manhattan/Queens also. Valerie is trustworthy, honest, and takes her job very seriously. I'd be so happy to speak with you in more detail if you are considering her.

She provided us with the utmost peace of mind that my boys would be safe and supervised. Remarkably, our boys have never been injured under her vigilant watch – not even a minor scrape – which is miraculous considering how active our boys are. She is one of the hardest workers I have met, proactively finding ways to be productive with her time. She is smart, organized and a great multi-tasker. But what I will miss most about Namrata is her genuine care and concern for my boys. It shone through on every interaction, whether my boys were healthy or sick, and my children always knew it. My family has been incredibly lucky and blessed to have found someone of Namrata’s caliber and want to ensure that she finds a good home. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Parent Reference

There is nothing more fearful for first time moms than putting your baby in the hands of a caregiver- unless of course that caregiver is Shontelle! Shontelle is the epitome of smart, loving, motherly and helpful. Having two grown daughters, she has no pull to be back home, and will make you and your baby or babies at ease. She was the nanny that was always hands on. Shontelle’s priority is always that the child is watched, cared for, and safe. Shontelle has been an incredible gift to our lives and became an important part of our family landscape quickly. In our time with her, Shontelle was wonderful at keeping our daughter on schedule and joyful along the way. She is wonderful in communicating with children, and the most punctual caretaker we have ever worked with. She cared so well for our daughter and they secured a very special bond that was unique to the two of them. Our daughter's toys were always organized and her appearance always well kept (and with the most amazing hairstyles!). She taught us so many parenting tricks along the way! Shontelle always respected our preferences and is an excellent communicator. Shontelle is looking for a full time live-out position (Mondays to Fridays or Mondays to Thursdays), Brooklyn preferred. Shontelle is wonderful with babies and is incredibly well suited to work with children in the younger age range, but she also has tons of experience with toddlers and kids. She was always flexible enough to stay later if we had an unexpected appointment and willing to make small changes to our schedule when we needed an extra hand. I highly recommend her and I am happy to discuss our experience in greater detail.

I trust her completely and appreciate her experience and reliability. Her and my son have formed a very nice relationship. Sadly we are moving away and Nerissa would like to find a full time opportunity. She has experience working as a full time nanny for babies and children of varying ages. She will also have her drivers license soon.

Parent Reference

Gemma joined our family nearly 6 years ago when we moved to NYC from California. We were attracted to her because she’s a veteran nanny, having worked for a series of NYC families from baby-Kindergarten (and beyond) who all provided stellar references. We arrived to our new home with a 4 mo old and a 4 year old. One parent immediately started a new position, while the other returned to work after parental leave. Our whole family had an unfamiliar city to navigate. Gemma was and has always been a calm, steady presence in our family and an engaged caregiver with our children as they’ve grown. She is dependable, devoted, and encouraging of our kids’ growth and friendships, often coordinating meet-ups. I so appreciate that Gemma communicates with us by text, but stows her phone when with our children. We’ve received compliments on her caregiving from friends, neighbors, and strangers, alike. She also tidies our home daily. Our needs have changed to part-time, but we would love for another family to have Gemma’s care and support.

Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only

Parent Reference

Our nanny of 7 years, Dorji, is looking for a new family to work for beginning in late June/July, as we are leaving the city. Dorji started as our nanny in 2016 when our now-7-yo daughter was 10 weeks old. She has loved both of our children as her own. Dorji is a part of our family, taking wonderful care of our 2 children. Dorji has many amazing qualities as a nanny, but above all are her strong work ethic, warm nature and temperament, her outgoing personality, and her professionalism. Dorji helps our children get ready for school, takes them to activities, arranges playdates, cooks their meals, and gives them baths. She is never on her phone and is constantly engaging them in activities, discussion, books, singing and games. She prioritizes getting them outside for fresh air and sunshine. She has made wonderful friends in our neighborhood for our kids by getting to know other nannies and setting up playdates with school friends. My daughter’s best friend is a result of Dorji introducing them when they were 4 months old. Dorji has a 10 year old daughter and she helped me learn what to do in the early days of being a mother. She loves babies and helped both of our children establish schedules that worked for our family. Dorji helped make our lives easier so that we could go to work with the peace of mind of knowing our children were safe and cared for. She potty trained them and even taught them how to ride a bike – something I wanted to do until I tried and realized I didn’t have the patience! In 7 years, Dorji has never been late, arriving early for work every day and ensuring the kids are on time. She takes her vacation when we take our vacation and has rarely called out sick. She is ideally looking to work for a family with a new baby and is available to start early July (or earlier, if needed). She is looking to find a long-term full-time (45-50h/wk) in Manhattan (she would love to stay downtown in West Village/Soho/Tribeca/Chelsea areas). She currently works 8:30-6:30p with us M-F. An important note is that Dorji has her own family and so she is not looking to travel for extended periods and she is looking to have weekends off. She has traveled with us to the Hamptons during the summer but prefers not to travel on a weekly basis. She is loyal, dedicated and loves our children as her own. The family who snaps her up will be so lucky. Please feel free to reach out to me.

We are looking for a new family for Janice, our beloved nanny, as we are moving away from the city. Janice came into our lives in late 2020 when our elder daughter was 3 months old. As a new mom returning to work during the pandemic I was drawn to Janice's calm confidence, 30+ years experience, and easy laugh. I was struck by how lovingly and thoughtfully she spoke about the children and families she had worked with in the past, and how they spoke about her. She was with us as we welcomed our second daughter in early 2022 and handled the madness of 2 children under 2 like an absolute pro. Both of my children light up like Christmas trees when she arrives for the day, early and with a big smile, and love her so dearly. She is hardworking, has been so attentive to their needs and particulars (everything from food preferences to favorite books and songs), and has been indispensable to me through every transition we've had: changing nap schedules, starting solids, weaning, potty training, preparing for a new baby, and adjusting to life as a family of four. Working predominantly from home these past 2.5 years, Janice has been a calming and friendly presence in my life as well as my children's. I have had a front row seat to their playful dynamic and how hard Janice works to keep our girls and our home neat, fed, laundered and organized. We will forever be grateful that we chose Janice to help support our little family in our early years, we could not have been in better hands.

Mary was our family’s first nanny and it has been amazing not only watching her engage beautifully with Our Son but also, to bond with her as she became a part of our daily lives. She's highly experience and when I interviewed her, I knew immediately that I wanted her to become a part of our family. Mary takes our Son out every day whether that be to the playground, the park, or if the weather is really bad, to Barnes and Noble. She makes it a point to make sure he gets outside and is active. In addition, she has cultivated relationships in the neighborhood with children My son's age so he is engaged socially. While at home, Mary is constantly singing, playing and reading to him. I love hearing them laugh hysterically together. Mary is a wiz at understanding preferences and bringing out the very best in his budding personality. Mary is always on time and very flexible. She has notified us of any time off she needs well in advance, giving us ample time to schedule backup care or make arrangements. Mary is great at communicating which I deeply appreciate. She makes communication very easy and we have never felt that there are issues we don’t know about. We are truly sorry our respective needs have changed, but we know that we will stay in touch with her, and that any family would be lucky to have her. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. Mary is looking to care for one child only and ideally would love to work in the vicinity of Boerum Hill/Cobble Hill/Park Slope/DUMBO/Downtown BK but open to discussing other locations for the right position. Please feel free to contact me or Mary directly.

Falon has been our go-to weekend and date night nanny for five years now, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She's been such a godsend for our family - stepping in when we needed her, going above and beyond to take care of our son (now 7 years old). From the moment she walked in for the first time, she had our boy giggling, engaged, and happy - he simply adores her. She is kind, warm, loving, reliable, and full of energy. She has always impressed us with her excellent judgment, her ability to take initiative, and her communication skills. Now that our family needs are changing (plenty of weekend activities, and much less need for a weekend sitter), we want to make sure that Falon is well taken care of, and finds a loving (and lucky!) family to support on the weekends.

Tsering is an amazing nanny who has become a cherished part of our family. She is patient, reliable, wise, loyal, trustworthy and treats our infant and toddler sons like they are her own. We are moving back to Australia, and so sadly Tsering is now looking for a new full time role. Tsering is an outstanding caregiver in every sense of the word. Her positive, gentle and loving nature makes her an exceptional caregiver for our children. She's attentive to their physical and intellectual development, prepares nutritious meals for them, and even arranges playdates with other nannies and children of the same age groups. She has an endless amount of energy and is excellent at handling all the needs of our little ones, from setting schedules to transitioning to solid foods, picking our toddler up from school, giving baths, taking care of their skin, reading, singing, and even handling various transitions that arise. What's more, Tsering is incredibly attentive and present with our children. She never uses her phone while caring for them, which allows her to be completely focused on their needs. By the end of the day, our kids are bathed, dressed in their pajamas, and having a great time playing with Tsering. We've been fortunate enough to work from home during the pandemic, which has given us the chance to observe both of our sons’ interactions with Tsering. It's been amazing to see their bond grow and witness how much they adore her. Tsering's approach to caregiving is one of respect and care, where she treats each child as a unique individual with their own personality and needs. She's never raised her voice and always respects the boundaries we set for our children. Her instincts are impeccable, and she knows precisely how to handle any situation that arises. Tsering is also highly reliable, always arriving on time and never calling out sick. She sends us photos and videos daily, which we always look forward to, and she's always responsive when we need to contact her. Tsering is in her late 30s and lives in Queens with her husband and two children (12 and 14). She would love to work with a new family living around the Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, or Gowanus areas, as she's familiar with all the parks and activities in those neighborhoods. Additionally, with Tsering’s permission, I can share that she is fully vaccinated. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions about Tsering. The next family that hires her will be incredibly lucky to have her and we’re forever grateful for all that she has done for our family.

We are sadly parting ways with our amazing nanny Sophie after 12 ½ years. We would love for her to stay with us forever but my son is off to college and my daughter is 14 and doesn’t require such hands-on care anymore. Sophie is absolutely wonderful and my whole family loves her. I don’t know if words can actually express just how special she is. She has been an integral part of our family, providing outstanding care, love, and support to our children and to us. From the moment Sophie joined our family, it was evident that she possessed a rare combination of warmth, dedication and professionalism. Her genuine love for children shone through in everything she did. She established a strong bond with each of our children (Jack and Ava), understanding their needs, interests, and personalities. Jack and Ava adore Sophie and we witnessed firsthand the positive impact she had on their emotional and social development. Sophie has been great with our children at all stages of their lives from toddler to the crazy teenage years. She is extremely active and is thrilled to be involved in their activities as well as proactively planning play dates and ensuring that they stay active by going to the park and planning fun activities around the city. She consistently went above and beyond to plan educational and fun outings, crafts and games tailored to their interests and each developmental stage. I can’t count the amount of times other Mom’s or nannies have told me how wonderful Sophie is. She helped to create a wonderful social circle for our kids and all of Jack and Ava’s friends love her and their parents fully trust her with their children as well. In addition to Sophie’s nurturing nature, she is extremely organized and great at multitasking. She seamlessly manages daily routines, including preparing nutritious meals for the kids, doing laundry, supervising homework, keeping the house tidy and ensuring nap and bedtime schedules are upheld (when they were younger). I would often arrive home to find Sophie studying flash cards, playing catch, teaching Ava how to bake, etc. Sophie also has great communications skills. She maintains open and honest lines of communication, regularly providing updates on Jack and Ava’s activities, their progress, friendships and any concerns that may have arisen and we always value her insight. Sophie is also someone that you can always count on. She consistently demonstrates reliability and trustworthiness. She is ALWAYS punctual, extremely dependable, flexible and devoted to all of us. We had complete peace of mind leaving our children in Sophie’s care every day. It is rare to find someone like Sophie and I count my blessings every single day. She has played such an important role in helping to raise our children and we are extremely grateful to her. She will always be a part of our family and we will miss her terribly. I want to help Sophie find a wonderful family that she can grow with. I actually found Sophie on Mommy Bites and her previous family (who she is still very close with) raved about her as well and was just as sad for her to leave. She is AMAZING and I promise hiring Sophie will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made. Please feel free to reach out to talk about Sophie. She is a gem!!!

Our family is moving out of the city and looking to help place our nanny of seven and a half years with a great new family. She would prefer to start with a new baby (a family to grown with) and would prefer to stay in Brooklyn Heights where we live as it works well for her commute, she knows lots of other nannies/children and all of the resources of the neighborhood. There truly aren’t words for how wonderful our nanny is- the family that recommended her to us said the exact same thing to us and they are still in constant contact with her- years and years later. She is the absolute gold standard of nannies and any new family would be the luckiest to have her. We all think of her as member of our family- she is warm, personable, fun, hardworking, dependable, knowledgable and always goes above and beyond her roll. All of my kid’s friends moms always report back how impressed they are with her and how we "have the best nanny". She is super social and prefers to be out and about with the kids doing fun things, at classes, on playdates instead of sitting at home. On kids days off, she will organize a whole day out for example going to Dumbo to ride the carousel, have a picnic lunch, get ice cream etc with a group of other children. She makes friends very easily and organizes meet ups with all of the other nannies so our kids always had lots playdates. She treats our kids like her own, even though her own children are grown! Not once in 7.5 years have we ever had a problem or disagreement with her. She is very respectful of how we parent and any choices we make for our children. She also has tons of energy and goes above and beyond her role- is always up making herself useful even when I haven't asked for something. Our only wish is that she will be placed with a family that takes as good care of her as she will take care of them.

Margareth has been watching our daughter (now age 11) since she was three and a half and our son (now 6) since his birth. She has been a blessing in our life and she is like family to us. She is loving, attentive, and incredibly fun and energetic. She is very creative and always finds fun things to do with the kids. For example, she loves getting the kids out of the house, making friends and playdates at the playground, and taking the kids to museums (especially Natural HIstory) and libraries. Margareth has an amazing positive energy and our kids are deeply attached to her. She is also reliable and responsible, aware of her surroundings, and very much focused on safety. She has always been attentive to our instructions and preferences, and she asks questions when there is any lack of clarity about these. We lucked out in finding her. Margareth picks up our children from school on Mondays through Thursdays in the afternoon (dismissal at 3:20pm) and (for the rest of the school year) is looking for work in Manhattan from the morning until about 2:30pm, but she also has some availability on evenings and weekends. I posted for her on Mommybites last year and she found work for a lovely family. But that family is now moving, so Margareth is looking for more work. That family can be reached for a reference as well. After the school year ends, we might ask Margareth to watch our children for parts of the day during portions of the summer, but we can be flexible about this, especially if Margareth can make arrangements with another family.

Nisha is an extraordinary person and my whole family adores her. Hire her and she will change your life!

I can't tell you how amazing it was to come home to happy, playful kids, a clean house, the most beautifully folded laundry you've ever seen, and Nisha's kind smile. She took care of my three kids for two weeks while I was away on a work trip and I didn't worry for a second, knowing that she understood their needs so well (and I have pretty anxious, high strung kids). Nisha is a pleasure to work with -- incredibly smart and organized, a great communicator with a wonderful sense of humor, and tons of common sense and good judgement. She began with my family when my kids were ages 3, 6, and 8. In addition, my one year old nephew spent the day at my house, too. Nisha managed all 4 kids with ease, and developed loving and individual relationships with each of them which continue to this day. She came to my now 13 year old daughter's Bat Mitzvah and visits us regularly. We adore her and want her to find a family that will appreciate how special she is. Please feel free to reach out!

THE MOST AMAZING PERSON!!! Adelina (Yaya) has been part of our family for six years. We moved to New York from Chicago with our six month old. We had demanding jobs and Yaya took care of our son with such love and dedication. In six years she showed up early every single day. With a smile on her face and always peaceful and calm throughout the day. She is the most patient person and taught our kids manners, patience and to be kind. She also taught them how to have a sense of humor and how to be playful. They all can play happily on their own and have an unreal sense of imaginary play and they love to play with others. Yaya would take them to classes, make friends with other parents and nannies and make playdates that we always felt excited/comfortable about. Yaya always made the house feel zen and calm. Our house was spotless, always cleaned, laundry done, kids well taken care of and spent time and effort preparing healthy meals for them. If we ever needed Yaya to stay late or come early she never hesitated and was always there for us and the kids. She would also sleepover if we ever needed her to and or went on vacation. They felt her love all the time and so did we. We had two more kids in NY and Yaya would be the first person to come visit at the hospital. Yaya puts safety first and always makes sure the kids are in a safe, clean environment. I have honestly never met a harder worker and someone who is so dedicated to their work. We miss her daily and FaceTime with her often as the kids can't wait to speak with her. She is so missed by us. Whoever hires Yaya will be so well taken care of and will be so fortunate to have found such a classy person. We moved states and that is why we no longer can be with Yaya.

Our wonderful nanny is looking for a new family. Cheryl has 20+ years experience and excellent recommendations. She is available full time, beginning mid-June. Cheryl is an attentive caregiver who truly engages with children and actively plays with them, constantly talks to them and teaches them at every opportunity. Unlike so many other nannies, she is never distracted or on her phone, and truly gives the kids her full attention. Cheryl has been taking great care of our toddler daughter, and we have seen her learn and grow so much while in Cheryl's care. Cheryl is not one to stay in just because it's a little chilly outside. Our daughter loves to go out, and Cheryl always volunteers to take her for walks or to the park. She cooks delicious meals and always leaves the house incredibly clean and tidy. She is also extremely punctual and generally very professional. If you are interested, please feel free to contact Cheryl and/or myself, I am happy to answer any questions and share my experience.

Shaneka took care of the kids from 9am to 7pm and she was flexible to come in earlier and leave later when we needed her to do that for work or other reasons. Shaneka was also available on weekends to come in if we had weekend commitments. Shaneka was always on time. She was responsible for the kids and thier activities. She also did laundry for the household and did light cleaning. We are leaving NYC and will miss Shaneka a lot but our loss will be another family's gain. I recommend Shaneka highly to any family looking for a nanny.

Parent Reference

Taira was our nanny from the time our daughter was 4 months old to the time she was almost 5.5 years old. Taira has played a big role in our daughter’s upbringing and has treated our daughter as if she was another one of her grandchildren (she has 4 daughters and 6 grandchildren of her own). She always ensured that our daughter was safe and well cared for, and we never had to worry when we were away at work with demanding jobs. Many people have given us compliments about the way in which Taira went about her job. As first-time parents, Taira’s in-depth experience with her own children and the other children she has nannied over the past ~20 years was very helpful to us, both at the beginning as we tried to get our newborn daughter onto a schedule, and then through later milestones/transitions such as introducing solids, potty training, moving to a toddler bed, etc. Whenever our daughter was sick, she knew just what to do and comforted both us and our daughter until she got better. In addition to watching our daughter, Taira was responsible for our daughter’s laundry and food. She always made sure that our daughter was dressed and groomed impeccably, with perfectly ironed clothes and gorgeous hairstyles every day. She cooked healthy and tasty meals for our daughter, and was always persistent in getting our difficult eater to eat her meals. While not one of her official responsibilities, she used her downtime to make sure that we came home to a tidy house, which was a huge bonus to us. Taira is very independent, easily getting our daughter to and from school and activities, and filling free times with museum visits and playdates that she arranged on her own. She is particularly plugged into the Upper West Side and came into this job with a network of nannies (that she expanded based on our daughter’s friends) and knowledge of the best kids’ spots in the area. Taira is fluent in Spanish and reinforced our bilingual household by speaking to our daughter exclusively in Spanish. Taira is looking to work with a family in Manhattan 40-45 hours per week (M-F), ideally with a newborn or infant.

We are sadly parting ways with our AMAZING nanny Sandra at the end of June, as our son is starting day care this summer. Sandra has been with us for the last year, since our son was 5 weeks old. She is INCREDIBLE. She is very communicative and has never once been late. She has been very open to accommodating our parenting style-- including sticking to schedules and baby led weaning. She is just so great with our kiddo, who just LOVES her. Every time I go to Gymboree or Music class, parents tell me they know Sandra and our son and just how great she is with him. She also sends me the most amazing photos and videos throughout the day, which I appreciate so much. We've truly been blessed. Sandra is now looking for her next family-- a full time nanny (or baby nurse) position. I really can't recommend her enough. Please reach out if you would like more information about Sandra!

She is very savvy in NYC and knows public transportation very well. She is a strong person and always felt that my children were very safe with her on the streets of NYC.

Parent Reference

There is nothing more fearful for first time moms than putting your baby in the hands of a caregiver- unless of course that caregiver is Mala. I now reside in Westchester, but while I lived in NYC and for the first year in the suburbs, Mala was our caregiver. The only reason I let her go is because I could not give her full time employment as she so desired and deserved. Mala is the epitome of smart, loving, motherly and helpful. Having a grown daughter she has no pull to be back home, and will make you and your baby or babies at ease. She ideally wants a job with newborns or toddlers. She was the nanny that was always hands on. I would take my baby out to the park in the city and see nannies hanging out with their attention more on each other than the children. Mala’s priority is always that the child is watched, cared for, and safe. My kids are now 14 and 10, but if I am ever in a bind and I need her for a night out, the kids hug her and exclaim “Lala!” (Their nickname for her.) Meet Mala and you will see that you will never meet another caregiver that takes that role to the highest level possible.

She works hard all day and still has energy for a race to the elevator, a hearty laugh, and an extra hug goodbye. We feel very lucky to have her help raise our children. She's extremely flexible, very punctual, and highly reliable. Since working with us, she has worked for a number of other families with small children. She is especially comfortable and confident with newborns. I highly recommend her as a caregiver.

It's been a true privilege and gift to have Withnney as part of our family life. Our relationship with her is one we will treasure forever. She has taken amazing care of our two kids, currently 3 and 1, helping us raise them to be kind, confident, loving, and engaged kids. Withnney herself is loving and warm, filling our home--and our children's lives--with laughter and positivity. Withnney is a community builder and created an amazing social circle for our kids, setting up playdates and taking them to events at the library, among other things. We love how she treats our kids as competent little humans. She speaks to them with deep respect, always explaining things or asking questions in caring ways. One of our favorite Withnney quotes is "Babies are so smart". Since our children were only a few months old when we started with her, this philosophy was, and continues to be, important to us. Withnney also supports our children's bodily consent, providing them space and independence when necessary. She delights in the kids' development, celebrating the tiny wins and progress that make early childhood so special. She is incredibly observant and always shares what she sees or thinks. She feels like a partner in our parenting, allowing us the space to find our footing as first-time parents, while also offering the support, expertise, and calm presence of an experienced professional. Withnney is an active caregiver, maximizing the time they spend outside in parks and playgrounds. She reads to them, sings to them, and chats with them. She also speaks Spanish so our children speak and understand Spanish as well. She is a deeply kind human who has influenced our children in such positive ways that it feels impossible to imagine who they would be without her in their/our lives. We deeply trust Withnney to make decisions regarding our children in our presence and in our absence. We have worked with Withnney over the past 2.5 years and are only parting ways because we are moving. We worked with her independently and as a part of a nanny share, both of which were phenomenal experiences. She is looking for full-time, live-out positions in Westchester or CT. Ideally she would work between 9 and 4:30, but is open to the right fit.

It is with great sadness for me to share that our wonderful nanny Tsultrim will be available starting this summer. My family is leaving NYC, otherwise, without a doubt we would love to have Tsultrim stay with our family. Tsultrim is an exceptional nanny; she is one of the most kind, patient, sincere and loving people I have come to know and rely on. She has been our full-time live out nanny to our now two-year old daughter since last summer. She has more than 20 years of experience in child care, and is particularly good with babies. We have entrusted Tsultrim with all aspects of childcare, including classes, healthy meals, laundry, keeping my daughter’s space tidy. She’s a great cook, particularly with Asian and South Asian inspired cuisine. She instinctively understands the needs of our daughter and reads the room to understand the needs of our family. She cares not only about our daughter’s wellbeing and happiness today, but also about instilling good values and habits for my daughter to blossom. Through her kind and calm example, Tsultrim has taught my daughter empathy, how to share, and how to regulate her emotions (to the extent this is possible with two year olds). What I’m most grateful for is the way in which she has built up my daughter’s confidence in social settings. When Tsultrim first joined our family, my daughter (being a Covid baby) was extremely shy in public and afraid to socialize with other adults and kids. Through Tsultrim’s loving and gentle encouragement, my daughter has developed so much confidence and now runs to the center of class and initiates with other kids. She treats my daughter with affection and respect. She’s incredibly reliable and devoted. My daughter loves Tsultrim, and we do too. We would love to see Tsultrim find a family that matches her kind and loving spirit. She is interested in full-time live out opportunities. She is very familiar with the UES and she also speaks Hindi.

In September 2018, we were incredibly fortunate to join a nanny share headed by Ms. Viviene Waugh. The other family in the share had interviewed many nannies before finding Viviene, and they expressed the highest praise for her. In a matter of days, “V” became a part of our family, a parenting guide, and someone we trusted completely with our five-month-old daughter Lyla. Three years later, Lyla is entering a 3-K program and we are heartbroken that we will not see V’s smiling face each morning. Ms. V has earned our highest regard as a true professional. V is our daily dose of calm, dependability, grace, and support. Our parents and extended family do not live nearby, so we feel fortunate that V is always so reliable and ready to help. When we struggled through those early months with our firstborn, V was a wealth of helpful advice and a shoulder to lean on in difficult stretches. V arrives early each day, is willing to stay late, and is our go-to babysitter for date nights. Aside from being a thoughtful and organized caretaker, V takes pride in her cooking, transforming the food we sent into delicious meals. She demonstrates this visible pride in everything that she does. Through all the challenges presented by Covid, with shifting work schedules and the need to follow strict health protocols, V maintained a safe space for our children and herself. Each day, we left for work knowing that V would be at the playground or in a park whenever possible. We knew that she would read to them and support creative play. V thoughtfully, firmly, and intuitively guided our growing children in the right direction if they misbehaved. She respected the families’ joint wish to avoid screen time. She inspired friendship and joy in our children. Most importantly, we knew that our children would be always safe. If you would like to send any additional questions, please feel free to contact Krista or Eric. We would be happy to share more about our wonderful three years with V.

I cannot recommend our former nanny, Veronica, more highly. Veronica worked for us for 4.5 years and we adore her. When our kids started school FT and I stepped back from work, we no longer needed FT care. Veronica is a rare combination of totally professional and warm. She worked for us from the time my daughter was born until she was 2.5, when we moved across the country; we were fortunate to hire her back 3 years later when we returned (with a second kid in tow), and she worked for us for another 2 yrs. She has been great at all stages of the kids’ lives, from infancy through elementary age. She was great with Annabel when she was an infant—getting her to sleep, eat, do little baby exercises, and generally nurturing her. Annabel learned all of her letters, numbers and colors from V. She dealt with both our kids in the toddler/preschool years, and was fantastic at keeping them stimulated: running around in the park, doing art projects, lots of playdates, etc. And as Annabel has progressed into school, she’s been really good at staying on top of all the details I can’t keep up with –reminding her to do homework or practice piano, pack her library books, etc. Our two kids are incredibly different, and V has been great with both of them. Our “strong-willed” son, in particular, requires some real patience, boundaries and discipline, and V has the perfect combination of firm but nurturing with him; V was a real partner in figuring him out. She comes with ideas and suggestions, and is very open to new ways of working with him. I have learned a ton from Veronica, at all stages of my kids’ development, and really value and trust her input. She’s open to input and feedback and easy to communicate with. Veronica has a great work ethic. She is always early and has rarely missed work. When she has downtime, she spends it getting things done around the house. V is incredibly tidy (like compulsively so) and while some light cleaning was in our job description, she keeps our apartment immaculate. It’s a fantastic side benefit. Veronica has a ton of experience as a caregiver. Prior to working with us, Veronica worked with several other families long-term (2 yrs with her prior family, before they relocated to Atlanta, nine years with a family before that, and for several families prior to that). She’s very flexible about working late or coming early (even on short notice), and she typically works for us at least one evening a week. She’s worked on the UES and UWS and knows the parks, classes and other resources, and has a strong network of nannies in both neighborhoods. When I checked her references both women literally had nothing negative to say about her (and believe me, I pressed); I now share their sentiments. We’ve felt so incredibly lucky to have Veronica care for Annabel and Grant. There’s a lot I worry about as a parent, but I have not for one moment questioned our decision to hire Veronica, or questioned her judgment. She's done nothing but exceed our (high) expectations. She is a drama-free, totally reasonable straight-shooter. Veronica moved home to attend to some family matters four years ago (then compounded by Covid), but is now back in NYC and eager to find a great family to work with. Obviously, the ultimate decision about who you hire to care for your kids depends on how you connect with that person, but I’d really encourage anyone who’s looking for a nanny to talk to and meet with Veronica. Veronica has been such an amazing person to have in all of our lives, and I envy the family that's lucky enough to have her care for your kids. I’m more than happy to talk to you about our experience. And encourage you to contact her directly.

Parent Reference

Sasha is a very loving, kind, and responsible nanny. I knew leaving my 2 boys (11 months and 2.8 yo) to go to work that they were loved and cared for everyday. She has been with our family since my oldest was 6 months old. She does all the daily care needs for the boys - plan, cook and feed them 2 meals a day, clean up after meals, pick up toys, laundry and bathe them. She kept our apartment very clean - I liked everything to be put away so you don't see the toys and she kept that up. Sasha will happily take any approach you want on how to care take for your children rather than coming with her own specific way she thinks things should be done. I really appreciated her ability to take direction. She also took our boys to school, classes and proactively set up playdates with them. I also very much appreciated how much she played with our boys, she was always on the ground with them and happily came up with different games for them. Our family needs have changed which we are very sad about given how much our boys have grown to love Sasha. Any family is very lucky to have her.
