Our amazing nanny, Anne Marie, will become available at the end of July and is looking to support a new family full time M-F 8/8:30-6/6:30 in either Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens. Anne Marie has many strengths but her 20+ years of experience supporting a small handful of families who all considered her part of their family with jobs lasting 2-6 years speaks best to her high quality care. Our son absolutely loves her and has learned so many things ahead of schedule- from walking to talking to being potty trained she’s been an incredible teacher. Her cooking may be her next best asset…our son will eat anything thanks to her persistence with vegetables from the moment he could transfer to solids. She also makes extra food every week so we don’t have to prep meals for him on the weekends. Thanks to her ability to meet other care takers, our son has had a wonderful friend pod throughout Covid. On that topic she’s vaccinated and always ensures our son is washing his hands and being smart about health … (he’s been totally healthy their entire 2 years together). Can’t give Anne Marie a higher recommendation- please let me know if you’re in need of full time care at the end of July!

Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only

Parent Reference

Laurice was the first nanny we made an offer to after our daughter was born in 2018 and she’s been with our family ever since (3+ years). We had our son in 2020 and she has had no problem managing both kids (through the pandemic!) with different schedules. Sadly, we’ve decided to move out to the New Jersey suburbs this summer and Laurice isn’t able to come with us. Laurice is a very professional, career nanny and is happy to work on the books (she has been fully on the books with us). She’s worked tirelessly for our family since day one – she’s incredibly flexible and is so easy to work with. I’ve never once had any concern about my kids being happy or safe and my kids light up when they see her. She worked with us when we lived in Midtown East and seamless transitioned with us to the UWS when we moved last spring. She’s got a special knack for finding friends for the kids and I’ve even made some great mom friends through her amazing relationship building! She can take your lead if you know how you want things done, but she’s also been working as a nanny for so many years (and has three grown up kids of her own) that she’s a great resource for advice and recommendations. She naturally does all of the things you would want for your kids, from reading books, doing puzzles and working on learning new skills and hitting milestones (tummy time, transitioning to solid foods, vocabulary, counting, colors, potty training, etc.) to being silly and actively playing with them at the playground. I have too many anecdotes I could share about how she’s supported my parenting choices and aspirations and I look forward to sharing them with you! I would love to find her a great new family and have no doubt she will continue to be a part of my own children’s lives (she’ll definitely be our first call for babysitting!). Please reach out to me (917) 765-0935 or to Laurice directly (347) 416-2597 if you're interested in more information.

We have a wonderful former nanny, Sandy, who took care of our son from 6 months old to age 3 who is looking for a new family. Sandy was a wonderful asset to our family. She is loving, kind, and patient, both with children and with adults learning to be parents. Sandy treated our son like her own. She was always talking, singing, and playing with him. At the playground, she was attentive and always watching and playing with him. She's rarely on her phone during work hours. When he napped, she would make food for him, and would help out around the house with whatever small tasks need done. She is outgoing and friendly and makes play dates and makes friends with other nannies and moms with children the same age. She's been in Park Slope for many years so she knows lots of activities and places to go. When my son was with her, he never got bored. They always headed out on adventures, rain or shine, and they went different places every day. Sandy has 24 years of experience with all types of children including special needs children, preemies, twins, and is comfortable with children of all ages. She would prefer babies, but is open to children of any age.

Parent Reference

We moved out of the city two years ago and the current family my amazing former nanny is working with no longer needs her as they have decided to live in NJ. 8 years and 12 years: that’s how long our phenomenal nanny, Rhonda, has been a part of our family, and the boy's family whom she took care of before my two kids. We were so sad to have left the city, and our sadness was due in large part to having to say good bye to Rhonda, who has been with us since I went back to work after my son was born (he was 8 when we moved), and from the beginning with my daughter (who was 4 when we moved). Rhonda nurtured and raised our kids like they're her own. I often received compliments on how great she is with my kids, but the one I think was the most meaningful came from a teacher in one of the classes they took together when my daughter was little, who noticed how much my daughter lit up when she was with Rhonda. Rhonda is extremely patient and gracious, kind, thoughtful, helpful, respectful and respected, fun, and truly loves her job. She is dependable and flexible, and always goes the extra mile for me and for the kids. The apartment is spotless each night when we come home, and the kids are bathed and fed and ready for bed. Rhonda didn’t just make a difference with our kids, but in our lives. We miss her so much, but still keep in touch and visit. We would love for her to find another family who will cherish her like we do. She is looking to start a live-out position in Manhattan. I would be happy to talk to anyone more about Rhonda as this post didn't really do her justice. Please PM me if you're interested; you will be so happy you did!

Rena

Experience With: newborns, toddlers, preschool, elementary;

Availability: Full time, Desired start 2021-06-15

duties

Cook: Yes, for kids only
Laundry: Yes, for kids only
Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only
Live in/out: Only live-out

Parent Reference

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

Valcina Lewis (Val)

Manhattan, Brooklyn

English

Experience With: newborns, toddlers, preschool, elementary; Graduated more than 5 years ago;

Availability: Full time, Will work before 7:30a, Will work after 7:30p, Will work weekends, Desired start 2021-09-13

duties

Cook: Yes, for kids only
Laundry: Yes, for whole family
Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only
Live in/out: Only live-out

Parent Reference

Hello. My boys will be of school age this Fall and I am hoping to help Val, our wonderful nanny, find a new family that will love her as much as we do. She came to us in the middle of the pandemic, which was a scary time to bring someone new into our home. We are so lucky to have found her and cannot imagine what the past year would have been like without her. Val helped us in countless ways and became an indelible part of our family as we all navigated very difficult times. She immediately connected and built a loving relationship with our children. Val guided our youngest through potty training and helped us push our children’s eating habits beyond the typical fare they were accustomed to. Below are key details, along with a second glowing recommendation from my cousin, her prior employer. Key Details - Val has looked after children of all ages and abilities - preemies, newborns, toddlers, children with special needs and has even cared for the elderly. - Looking for full time employment 40 - 50 hours per week, starting in September 2021 - Open to working for a family in Brooklyn or Manhattan - CPR certified and fully vaccinated - Please feel free to email/call me for a recommendation / to ask any questions. I am eager to sing her praises: [email protected] or 413-884-2759 - Please call Val directly to discuss your family’s needs: [email protected] or 929-320-7902. Recommendation from my cousin: Val has been a complete gift to our family. She truly made it possible for me to survive my first year of motherhood, one marked by a series of surprises, and plenty of scary unknowns. When Val met my daughter, Franny, in September of 2018, she was a barely 10-lb four-month old who had been born two-months too soon. I was terrified to leave her with anyone. Franny was all-out rejecting bottle feeds, and feeding was our number one priority, so I knew her babysitter had to be some sort of saintly, miracle-working figure. Enter: Val. She was completely unintimidated by our little (emphasis on LITTLE) girl, and we all connected with her from the start. With patience and a deep well of faith, she cared for Franny, cheering her on as she slowly reached each milestone, and navigating her picky feeds with loving perseverance. Not only was she an angel with my daughter, but she kept our home neat and organized, folded all our laundry, cleaned all Franny's feeding supplies and my pumping kit. We had to move for my husband's work, and were devastated to part with Val. My daughter squeals and literally dances for joy when she walks into the room. Any family would be so lucky to work with her, especially new moms who would appreciate the extra household support she so lovingly gives. Val has raised three highly successful children of her own, and worked with so many wonderful families. She is a true professional.

If you are looking for a loving, energetic, responsible and patient childcare provider for your children, then I highly recommend Marcia. She has been working with our family since January 2021 and is seeking a new position the second week of July as we no longer need full time care for our children ages 2 and 5. Marcia is a natural with children and my kids instantly warmed up to her. During this unusual and stressful time, Marcia has brought a great sense of calm to our family. She has kept them active by taking them to the park, on walks, scootering and bike riding and coming up with fun activities to do inside. She knows how to have fun while also providing opportunities for learning and structure as needed. Marcia has helped me stay organized and always leaves the kitchen and play areas spotless. She is a great communicator and was able to be flexible with her schedule (come early and stay late when we asked). She has been great with keeping our kids safe in regards to covid precautions as this was something that was very important to us. I'm hoping that Marcia can find a great new family to work with. Prior to us, she worked with a family for 2 years who ended up moving out of state. Marcia is fully vaccinated and has her own transportation. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or directly to Marcia.

Parent Reference

If you are looking for a nanny who truly loves caring for children, you will want to hire Pam and you will be so grateful you did. We moved out of the Tri-State area and, very very sadly, had to let her go. She was with us for over five years, caring for our son since he was two months old and then our youngest since birth. She became (and will always remain) a part of our family. The love and care she gave our boys cannot be overstated. Pam is a nanny because she is a natural caretaker who finds the responsibility of helping children grow very fulfilling. She is not the bored or distracted nanny on her phone trying to pass the time. Instead, she takes pride in her work and doing her best. Pam comes in on time (if not early) with a cheery "good morning", happy to be there, and is a genuine joy to have around. My boys always ran up to her in the mornings and bear-hugged her when she left in the evenings. In addition to her excellent care-taking abilities, she is proactive in making the days run smoother, observant in identifying and addressing any issues (e.g. alerting me to bitten bottle nipples needing replacement, unusual eating or potty instances, etc.), great at initiating routines and structure, is very organized, neat, and tidy, and has no problem keeping up with two very energetic boys. She took care of laundry, light cleaning, and making well-balanced meals for the boys (and sometimes the whole family!). We miss her dearly and even asked if she could come stay with us for a period of time after we moved out of NY as we did not want to lose her. Unfortunately, she was not able to do so, but we would love to do what we can to help her find a wonderful family to help.

It is my honor to recommend my incredible Nanny Lisa Slater. Lisa is a talented, intelligent, loving, funny, kind 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. They are now 6 and 3 years respectively. Lisa treated them with Love and respect and demonstrated the importance of sharing, cooperation and friendship. The kids adored her. Atom was with Lisa during day. Through reading, games and play Lisa engaged 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 would read books, do a group activity or music class or story time 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”. Atom attended school from 9-12, Orion stayed with Lisa all day. She would pick Atom up from school where she would take them to the playground, Library classes or play dates that she arranged. She always found engaging fun activities for the kids to do including art projects, visits to the zoo or a museum. Lisa established a network of nannies with kids the same age who were among my kids closest friends. Lisa set 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 we worked together as a team. I offer you my highest possible recommendation for Lisa as a Nanny. She is amazing and meant a lot to our family. Any family would be tremendously fortunate to have Lisa care for their 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.

She is also flexible and willing to support the child and families needs whenever possible - and my son loves her delicious food!

After 5 years, we have made the difficult decision to move on from our incredible nanny, Vanessa. Vanessa came to us when our daughter was an infant and she quickly showed what a valuable part of our family that she would become. Trustworthy, reliable, intelligent, proactive, flexible, on time, and great communicator are some things that come to mind when thinking about Vanessa work over the past 5 years. We hired her when our second daughter was born and she cared for both our girls (now ages 5 and 7). Vanessa has been our full-time nanny (M-T, 8-6) for the past five years and in that time, she has helped our girls grow into the smart, outgoing girls that they are. She loves getting them outside as much as possible. She’s always on-time and has literally never called out sick. She helps around the house as needed with light cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, etc. Vanessa is also open-minded to new ideas or approaches. I can’t tell you how many teachers and parents have approached me over the years to say how wonderful Vanessa is. But most importantly, she has been so good for our daughters. She spends time reading to our girls, teaching them letters and numbers, helping them tackle puzzles, and encouraging their learning. She taught them to take pride in their appearance and to be friendly and respectful. They love and respect her, and we do as well. Please contact me if you (or anyone you know) is looking for a nanny. Thanks so much. Best, Giovanna Erunse (917) 309-4383 or at [email protected]

I am here posting on behalf of my nanny, Yolanda. Yolanda has over 20 years of experience and multiple references from the families she has helped over the years. She has been with my family for two years ever since our daughter Ana was born, but we are leaving NY and unfortunately cannot take her with us. I believe that it is easy to find a nanny that will look after a child but extremely hard to find one that will engage with them and develop them. Yolanda's engagement with Ana includes potty training her before age 2, teaching her about letters, colors, and numbers, and keeping her happy and healthy. She is always punctual, available when needed, and has a great disposition and attitude. As first-time parents, we benefited from a nanny that has all of her experience and took the lead from her in more than one occasion. I honestly think that she is a large part of why our daughter is so advanced. She also has a strong network in Brooklyn and helped introduce Ana to many new friends in the area. I would most definitely encourage you to chat with her and see if she is a good fit.

My former full time nanny, Debra, is looking for a new job as her current family is moving out of state. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Debra. She worked with me from mid-2014 until fall of 2019, beginning when my oldest son was 9 months old. I had another little boy in December 2019 and she was beyond skilled at handling two little ones only 15 months apart. Debra did literally everything for my kids – infant care, potty training, nap training, social skills, introduction to feeding, playdates, teaching letters and numbers and shapes and reading, cooking, fun crafts and activities, if you name it it’s in her wheelhouse. Debra is also a doer - took my kids places like the Intrepid and the museums, to Governor's Island, she likes having fun with them. She has good judgment, was a collaborative partner, and always balanced following my directions with discussing how things might work better, always in a constructive way. Both my kids needed special services – speech, OT, PT – and she worked incredibly well with the providers to follow through on the take home from those sessions. In over 5 years, she was never late, rarely got sick, stayed late when I needed her to, and went above and beyond. Debra was and remains a gentle loving presence in our home, as at this point she’s become family and visits my kids every two weeks. They love her; she comes into the house and everything else falls away. So much good in my children’s character comes from her – their good manners, kindness, sharing, playing well with others. Debra also got along extremely well with other nannies and moms, and I consistently received unsolicited and wonderful feedback from my children’s preschool (and from other moms who saw her interact with my kids). It broke my heart to let her go, and the only reason I did was because they were in school and I could no longer afford to pay her full time. I wish I could rehire her myself but she still needs full time. Note on pets, Debra is comfortable with cats and dogs, just doesn’t want to have to walk a dog. Also note on Covid – Debra has been driving to work and takes all precautions (as does her current work family). I’m happy to provide a reference for anyone who would like to speak. It’s so important to me that Debra finds a family who deserves her as I simply could not value her more highly. Please DM me for Debra’s number – thank you!

After 10 years, we have made the difficult decision to move on from our incredible nanny, Nichole. Nichole came to us when our daughter was an infant and she quickly showed what a valuable part of our family that she would become. Trustworthy, reliable, intelligent, proactive, flexible, on time, and great communicator are some things that come to mind when thinking about Nichole’s work over the past 10 years. A former art teacher, Nichole was pivotal in encouraging the kids creativity through various outlets. As the kids got older, Nichole was an asset when it came to overseeing homework and keeping the kids on a daily routine. In addition to watching the children, Nichole also did some light housework. We always returned home each evening to a clean home and happy children. Please contact me if you (or anyone you know) is looking for a nanny. Thanks so much. Best, David Golden (917) 715-7998 [email protected]

Our reliable, conscientious, smart, funny, and tireless nanny, Kitty, is looking for a new family who she can help full-time. She was with our family for an incredible ELEVEN years so I can vouch for her expertise with infants through middle schoolers. She was an invaluable partner in raising our kids, and is exactly the person you hope for when looking for a caregiver. Kitty was our only caregiver since our first child was born in 2007. I don’t think I would have been able to go to work each morning without Kitty, as I completely trusted her. Not only is she warm and loving, her intelligence and experience with children (including her own two daughters) made her a priceless source of knowledge and guidance as we tried to figure out how to be parents. As our needs evolved each year, Kitty adapted. She can truly do it all. She transitioned from babies to juggling complex afterschool activity schedules, helping with homework and somehow finding time to bake cookies or cupcakes with the kids as well. My girls love her! Three years ago, with our girls becoming older and more independent, we helped Kitty find a new family. Unfortunately, they are making a cross country move, so she’s once again looking for a family to help. You can count on her to manage your kids’ outings, activities, meals, and laundry. Every day our kids were out somewhere, whether the playground, the park, a museum, library or the zoo. She is never late or sick, which means you’ll never worry about your schedule being impacted. Kitty is an incredibly considerate, proactive person who takes the initiative to make your life easier. And while she has considerable childcare experience, she’s also open-minded to new ideas or approaches. I can’t tell you how many teachers and parents have approached me over the years to say how wonderful Kitty is. Your family will be lucky to have her!

I highly recommend our fully vaccinated and extremely reliable nanny Marjorie to the next family looking for full time childcare. Marjorie has always been great with our children, now ages 3 and 5, including through every single day of the pandemic. With high diligence around masking, hand washing and all things hygiene, she kept them and our family safe throughout. She is a joyful and calming presence in our house, arriving every day with enthusiastic greetings, ready to prepare our children a healthy breakfast and start them on their adventures for the day. Whether it is epic explorations all over Central Park and the Upper West Side or gymnastic and soccer classes, the kids always have a magical day. She is friendly and amicable, and a good judge of character, making contacts with other nannies whose children have proven to be wonderful friends with our own. We even made friends with other parents through her! She is available throughout Manhattan and some parts of northern NJ, accessible to transit. You can reach out to her directly (text is best during work hours). Also, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or for more information. I am happy to chat!

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

Shahara began working with our family full-time in 2016 when our oldest son was six months old and continued to care for both of our children after our youngest son was born in 2018. Shahara is a responsible, playful, affectionate, and hardworking nanny who helped raise our boys joyfully. She brought laughter and peace into our home every time she stepped inside. Our boys, who turn 3 and 5 in March, love and respect her, and personally, I learned a lot about parenting by observing her. I have truly enjoyed her presence in our home. Early on, Shahara built relationships with a few other families in our building and neighborhood, whose children continue to be friends with ours. She proactively and with our blessing, scheduled play dates, engaged the boys in creative and age-appropriate projects, and found classes for them while ensuring that all their basic needs were met. As an experienced nanny, she helped potty train, maintain sleep schedules, cooked for the boys, supported remote learning in recent months, and so much more. She taught them so much - from dressing themselves, taking responsibility, respecting others, and worked with them on early preschool skills. I really don't know what we would have done without her! My husband and I wholeheartedly trust Shahara with our boys and always felt they were in safe hands with her. I can’t say enough about the support she provided our family; she truly felt like a partner in helping raise our children, and it is our pleasure to refer her to another family.

Michelle is a warm, conscientious, reliable, and thoughtful caregiver who has enriched the lives of our two young boys during her time with our family over the span of 4 years. We have been sad to say goodbye to her in our day-to-day, but we know that she will continue to be part of our sons’ lives, and we are eager to help find a new family to benefit from Michelle’s talents, professionalism, and sincere caring. We met Michelle through MommyBites in early 2016, when we were new parents with a six-month old who seemed too young and fragile to leave with a stranger. Fortunately, Michelle put us at ease right away, and she quickly bonded with our baby boy. With her 20 years of experience as a nanny, Michelle knows how to care for young children with a loving manner. She also educated us — what bibs worked best for messy eaters, what music classes in the neighborhood were most energetic, how to wipe the runny nose of resistant toddler. We feel so lucky that she was our first (and only) nanny. When our younger son was born last spring, Michelle helped our older son adapt to his new role as “big brother” and bonded just as quickly with our baby. While we were adjusting to juggling the demands of two kids, Michelle managed to give both kids the attention they needed and made it look easy. She is effective with children of all ages and maintains strong ties with the kids she previously cared for. Michelle is impeccably reliable, responsible, and caring. She has been willing to come early and stay late when needed, even with very little advance notice. But most importantly, she has been so good for our sons. She regularly set up play dates with other kids in the neighborhood and spent time reading to our boys, teaching them letters and numbers, helping them tackle puzzles, and encouraging their learning. She taught them to take pride in their appearance and to be friendly and respectful to our neighbors. They love and respect her, and we do as well. She is an excellent nanny, and we want to do our part to ensure her next family appreciates her as much as we do.

Parent Reference

Keita is the nanny you want to snatch up! It was serendipitous the day we found our nanny. Our doorman told me, "you have to grab Keita. She is the best and her family is moving to Philly. She will be needing a new job soon". It was so easy and I never looked back. Keita was with us for about 6 years, starting 3 months after my older son was born. As new parents, she was perfect for us. Her confidence and delicacy with which she took care of our newborn was reassuring and mind-blowing to us. She really showed us the way. She home made all his first foods - all the purées. She is a great cook! Like any parent, I hated going back to work and leaving my child at that age. She sent me pictures every day of my smiling, happy boy. The bonus with Keita - she speaks French. We asked her to only speak to our kids in French so they would get that added benefit. She loves the idea that she can help teach a native English speaking child French. I went out and got French books and it was great having that added influence. I loved to hear my little one say "sil vous plait"! On this note, I suggest if you are interested in speaking with Keita and doing an informal screening interview over the phone first you will miss out on getting to know Keita. Her strong suit is her personality which, with the language barrier of her accent and that she’s not a native English speaker, things definitely get lost in translation over the phone. You must meet her to know how wonderful she is. Please interview in person ? One of my biggest nanny pet peeves- I HATE when I see nannies walking their child with headphones on- or gabbing on the phone. You would never see Keita doing this. She doesn't watch tv - and so the tv was never on in our home while she was taking care of our 2 kids. She engaged all the time and her #1 priority is focusing on our kids and making sure they are happy. She has so much love and care in her heart; you can rest assured your children will be loved and cared for as close to a parent's love as possible. When the kids were playing off by themselves or napping she looked for ways to be helpful to the family. She really went above and beyond. She has an incredible work ethic. My kids took karate classes and I received the most amazing email from the receptionist there- out of no where - at the time. I have to share an excerpt from it it to exemplify what is so special about her: "I am taking a chance to offer some unsolicited opinion. I do not do this often. In fact, this is the second time. So here goes...I have had a few occasions to observe [S] and [J's] child care provider (babysitter) thus far. I don't recall her name. I have to say she is so good with your children. Her smile of pride and approval for their accomplishments here is beautiful...Trust me, I see nannies that are not attentive to their children. Good choice in hiring her". This was not the first time I had been told how wonderful Keita was by random people over the years. She is extremely trustworthy. I can say without a doubt she would never lie- never do anything that wasn't honest. She has very high moral standards. When we hired her to work with us on the Upper West Side we told her we were planning a move to Brooklyn within the year. She told us "as hard as it is to find a good nanny, it's hard to find a good family. I will go with you. She traveled from the Bronx to Brooklyn, getting to us by 8am, every week for over 4 years. Keita had had 2 prior nanny experiences and those references were also excellent. She's been doing this job now for nearly 26 years. We continue to use Keita as our babysitter when we need. Win-win. Our kids are SO excited to be with her. She is like a second mom to them. And she continues to be as awesome as she was when she worked for us full-time. This is VERY Keita: She babysat, we came home and my husband and my bed was beautifully made (not the shoddy job I do!). We had dumped our clean laundry on our bed and while we were out she made our bed! She is incredible.

Parent Reference

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

Marcy is a wonderful and loving caregiver and all around lovely person (ask anyone in our building--doormen, other children, other parents). She joined our family when our son was 4 months old (he's now 4) and was with us through the birth of our daughter, now 1. We couldn't have imagined these last 4 years without her. We have always been able to count on her 100%--she is never late, never calls in sick, works her vacation time around ours and has always been incredibly flexible if we need her to come early or stay late. She has a calm and peaceful way about her, is excellent with babies and has incredible patience. Toddler tantrums never rattle her. It has given me incredible peace of mind these past 4 years knowing my children are in Marcy's safe hands. We couldn't have asked for a more kind and nurturing person to look after our children and are so sad to be saying goodbye to her (we are moving out of NYC). We would like nothing more than to help her find a new family.

Tenzin has been with us for over 3.5 years, since my daughter was 4 months old. Tenzin has done a wonderful job caring for my daughter from the early infant stages through the toddler years. I’ve always appreciated Tenzin’s good judgement, calm demeanor and ability to keep my daughter safe at home, while going to classes or in the park. From the beginning, Tenzin understood the importance of reading to my child at a very early age, and has played an important role in advancing her development throughout the years (including fixing her nap schedule, potty training and teaching her how to properly hold a pen to write letters). Tenzin is an excellent chef and knows how to prepare fresh, healthy and delicious food throughout the baby/toddler years, which has been incredibly helpful. My daughter loves her and will miss her dearly (especially all of the good times they had playing together!) but we have moved out of NYC and Tenzin is understandably looking to be closer to her family. She is fully COVID-19 vaccinated. We highly recommend Tenzin and know that she will be a wonderful addition to your family, as she was to ours. Please feel free to reach out to Tenzin directly.

Sinovya has been with us for almost 5 years, since my first daughter was 3 months old. Our children love her, and they are always happy to hear that it's a "Sisi" day. She has many strengths, and we are so sad that she won't be in our daily lives anymore. Initially, we hired her because of how easy going and calm she was. She is never fazed by a meltdown, or a baby having a particularly fussy day. She never raises her voice or loses her patience. As our children got older, she was amazing at finding playdates. She creates a consistent schedule that involves time outside, but also prevents the girls from being overstimulated or exhausted at the end of the day. She always allows time for unstructured play, and follows their lead to play blocks or restaurants or color. She cares so much about our girls. She makes the best and most elaborate snacks that I will never live up to, and always brings special treats that they totally adore. Even the books that she would choose to bring home reflect how well she knows their interests and what will make them happy, and she reads to them constantly. She is reliable and prompt. She has been working with children her whole career, and all of her references gave glowing reviews. She is very COVID careful, and fully vaccinated. She will work early and late as needed, (she’s been extremely accommodating whenever we need a helping hand) just prefers not to on a regular basis.

Tess is a wonderful nanny, and we have been fortunate to have her help with our two girls (18 months and 2.5 years) since February. While we had a full time nanny, I had surgery in February and needed someone to help out on weekends until I was back on my feet. Tess was the first nanny to seamlessly interact with both girls, who grew to love her very quickly. Tess is incredibly calm, kind, and willing to help out in any way, such as picking up groceries, other errands, etc. Although she is very experienced, she works with the parent's preferences to help raise the children in a cohesive manner. Even after I was back on my feet, we kept Tess for the remainder of the school year to help with the girl's schedules. From the first day, she easily picked up our older daughter from school and took her to play dates and activities, interacting well with the other nannies. When with our younger daughter, Tess was always on the floor playing with her, building blocks, doing puzzles. Tess always kept busy- doing laundry, tidying, making beds while our younger daughter napped. We highly recommend Tess for any families looking for an honest, calm and loving caregiver for their children.

Experience: Full time care of two girls from birth to present (15 plus years with us) Professional Responsibilities: full range of care of the girls from infants to teenagers including maintaining sleep schedules, girls’ laundry, light cleaning, shopping/preparing meals, planning playdates, school drop off and pick up, supervising after school activities, doctor and dentist appointments, and anything else the girls need Personal Qualities: Loving, responsible, honest, creative, practical, curious, intelligent, fun, calm, punctual, neat, active, flexible, social, attentive, patient, excellent communication and listening skills, organized, independent, energetic, kind, moral, team player Qualifications: CPR/First Aid certified, Clean background check, Fully vaccinated for COVID Asha has been employed by my family for over 15 years, and indeed is really a part of the family. Both of the girls are now teenagers and can move around the city independently after school and we no longer need full time help with them. I would (and do) trust her with anything regarding my children. Both my husband and I work full time so having Asha fully in charge was essential. She is great with children of all ages: Babies: With multiple children and grandchildren of her own, as well as 20 plus years as a professional nanny, Asha knows more about babies than I have forgotten. She has amazing instincts for soothing them and is able to work closely in partnership with parents as she did with us to work out feeding routines, sleeping schedules, play time etc. She has lots of energy, and is gentle and loving yet firm. She is incredibly focused on safety, health and cleanliness at all times. Toddlers/Preschoolers: As the girls and their friends grew up, Asha always had ideas for activities to entertain them. She read to them, sang, played games, did art project and baked with them. They were able to take full advantage of the neighborhood with trips to the children’s museum, Museum of Natural History, Central Park zoo and park and playgrounds. She prepared nutritious/delicious food for them and always was prepared with snacks, band aids and hugs for any contingency. She gained the respect of other parents and teachers at the girls’ preschool through her excellent care and guidance of the girls. Kindergarten/Elementary/Middle School/High School: this is a wide range, but through all these years, Asha has been supportive of the girls’ academic studies (at Metropolitan Montessori and now Brearley), athletic extracurriculars, and other activities. They love and trust her judgment, as do I. She knows children throughout all their growth stages, celebrates their successes and is unsurprised by the challenges. She is happy to take direction from us as parents but also to take initiative to get things done and has more common sense than most people I know. She would be a wonderful addition to any family. Your child(ren) will be healthy, safe, flourishing and loved in her care. Please text to set up a call with any questions or contact Asha directly. Best, Anne

Our fabulous nanny, Ava, will be available this summer in June. Our loss is your gain! Ava has taken care of our 2 year old son since the day we brought him home from the hospital. She started as our baby nurse (she has extensive newborn experience) and seamlessly transitioned into our nanny as he grew. She is now also watching our newborn so can handle multiple kids, easily. We are in awe of how much our son has learned in his first years. Ava is a fantastic teacher and is so creative when it comes to activities, especially on those rainy days. She is also incredibly social. During this crazy year, on her own, she formed a fantastic pod for our son who he hangs out with every day and takes classes with. We couldn't have asked for a better crew. Ava cooks delicious meals for my son and does all of his laundry. She is looking for a full time live-out position and is open to location. She is flexible on hours, happily staying for the occasional date night. Ava has never taken a sick day and shows up 5 minutes early every single day. She is extremely COVID-conscious and fully vaccinated. She also has multiple references and keeps in touch with other families she has worked with. My son jumps into Ava's arms every morning, which says it all. Ava will be a fantastic addition to your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Our incredible nanny Keita will be available towards the end of August/beginning of September, her start date is flexible. Additionally, she is available for temporary full-time or part-time work in July as we will be out of the country. Keita is simply the best and has over 15 years of experience in childcare in Manhattan and Brooklyn. She started with us when our son was 3 months old and unfortunately we can no longer keep her on full-time as our son starts pre-school in the fall, and we desperately want to help her find a family who will be a great fit. She was a godsend for my husband and I who, as new and exhausted parents, had no idea what we were doing. She came in and helped us learn how to parent our son without ever overstepping. She was an incredible support to me as I transitioned back to full time work. She made the transition so easy as I knew he was being loved and cared for well at home. Now that my son is a VERY active toddler, they have such a sweet bond. She is always coming up with new games to play and taking him on adventures. She lets him explore and learn in his own way while making sure he's supported, safe and happy. She's helped him make many friends in the neighborhood park, at music classes, and within our building. She is a native French speaker, but also speaks English well. She speaks French exclusively to our son which has been ideal for my husband and I. It's been incredible watching his language develop in both languages simultaneously. She came to us highly recommended by 3 families who she was with for many years each. Keita is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and considerate. Simply put, she is a lovely person who loves children. I can't say enough wonderful things about her! Feel free to call/text/email with any questions or to speak in greater detail.

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.

We are looking to help our amazing French-speaking nanny of three and a half years to find another full-time position. Our family is re-locating back to Canada (we would take Julie with us if we could!!) and would like to find another family who she can have such a great impact on. Julie has over 20 years of long-term experience with families in Park Slope (can provide other references on request), caring for both 1 and 2 children. She has also worked as a baby nurse, so is extremely capable with infants. Julie started with our family when my daughter was 6 months old. After letting go of our first two nannies, we were nervous, however, Julie came in and within minutes built strong trust and showed that she was extremely good at her job. Julie has a very calm and caring demeanor that makes you feel at ease. With both my husband and I being from other countries, we don’t have any family nearby. Julie filled this gap and was an integral part of our “village”. Our daughter is completely in love with Julie and whenever we are away or Julie is on vacation, she always asks for her. Since Julie has worked in Park Slope for so long, she has an amazing network of great nannies which she scheduled playdates with all the time. She also recommended various classes that she had been to before that our daughter loves. Another amazing thing (and one of our must haves) is that Julie speaks French, which is very difficult to come by. She speaks exclusively French to our daughter. Both my husband and I are very type A and have a lot of rules to follow, however, Julie never batted an eye and always followed through with anything we asked. She helped with all my daughter’s meal prep, laundry and did a lot of extras around the house that we never asked her to do. After the birth of my son, Julie was the only person I trusted to leave him alone with in those first few months. Julie treats our kids like her own. She manages the two kids extremely well and has a lot of patience (never gets angry and handles all situations calmly. She has really taught the kids to play together nicely, making sure they both feel like they are getting attention.

Our family is now in the process of moving upstate, but we are truly heartbroken to lose Deb. When we first spoke with Deb, we instantly knew she was the nanny we had been looking for. Deb is a warm, caring, loving, and professional nanny who has a great deal of experience and wisdom. She puts all of her energy into our son – Deb is constantly engaging him – from singing her extensive collection of songs and nursery rhymes to helping him reach the next step in his development in a fun way. She is also very patient and gentle with him, while also anticipating his needs – something that was extremely important to us. Deb’s positive energy and calming presence quickly made her a seamless part of our family. As first-time parents we were so anxious to have someone take care of our six-month-old son. We immediately felt at ease with Deb and she quickly earned our trust. She truly loves and cares for our son like her own. She cares deeply about his wellbeing and genuinely becomes excited and feels proud when he achieves even the smallest of milestones. Deb is very easygoing and approachable to work with, offering reassuring advice and helpful suggestions without forcing them. She is highly experienced and has great insight about childhood development and behaviors. Likewise, Deb is very receptive and open to your preferences, like adopting a specific schedule or routine. In addition, she’s extremely observant and detail-oriented and highlights small changes in his day-to-day behavior. Deb is also proactive and goes the extra mile in our home, whether it’s tidying up in the kitchen or preparing extra meals for our son. At the end of the day, Deb wants to make sure his things are organized and no task is left undone. She once explained that she likes to do as much as she can, so that we can spend quality time with our son. When Deb arrives in the morning, our son lights up and beams with excitement. When she’s heading home, she plays peek-a-boo by popping her head through the crack of the door, which – without fail – makes our son giggle. They truly have so much fun together and their connection is so special. We will miss Deb so much. We hope it’s clear why we care so much about her and want to make sure she finds the right family. It’s been a privilege for our son to be cared for by Deb and any child would benefit from the diligent care and generous attention she provides. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Deb's phone number: 347-601-7312

She adores our children and they adore her. She has a large extended family and is deeply involved with the many children in her life. From the moment she sat down for her interview all those years ago, until now, we realized that someone very special had come in to our lives. We cannot recommend her enough.

Our amazing nanny/babysitter available starting in early September - unfortunately we have made the difficult decision that we no longer need a full-time nanny for our daughter. Luisa has been with our family for over 9 years - she started with us when our daughter, Ella, was 6 months old. We used to live in Manhattan and then we moved to Westchester. Luisa stayed with us and has commuted (a long way) from NJ for the past 6 years. Luisa is totally reliable, trustworthy and has a warm, loving, happy personality - her smile and laughter is infectious. She is also bilingual and speaks to our daughter in Spanish (neither my husband or I speak the language). Luisa would prefer to look after 1 baby or toddler (she is a baby whisperer!) and she has such a calm, amazing way with children, especially young children. She is calm, patient, nurturing and wow, she has been my rock over these past 9 years. Luisa has always created a network wherever we have been - so Ella has always had a revolving set of playdates - outdoors in playgrounds or parks if possible and she has also taken Ella to her classes. Luisa was with 4 or 5 families before us - the shortest time she was with one of the families was 2.5 years and this came to an end only because they moved back to the UK. For me this also says a lot about who she is - she is a gem and we have been lucky to have had her for these years. Please reach out to me for more information before reaching out to Luisa.

Our loving and amazing nanny is seeking for a new family. Unfortunately, we are moving to another state so we have to let Denise go. Denise has been with us since my son, Michael was a newborn, now 5 years old. She's like an angel fell from heaven, respectable, reliant, charismatic but most important of all, Denise loves children! As a newborn, Michael was very colicky and Denise just knew how to comfort him. As a first time mom, there were so many things I still needed to learn but with Denise by our side, it made taking care of our son 100% easier; that's how extensive her knowledge in younger children is. As Michael grew, Denise engaged him in developmentally age-appropriate activities that kept him busy and having fun all day long. Denise became a beloved member of our family and wish she will find a family that treats just as well as we did. She's COVID-19 vaccinated but still takes precautions to keep little ones safe.

If you are looking for an absolutely incredible, trustworthy, loving, experienced, fun, smart, full-time nanny, Joyce is the perfect person to join your family. It is with such a heavy heart that we are finding a new family for her as we are moving abroad. Joyce started with our family over a year ago when my son was 4 months old. Our son adores her and runs to the door to greet her when she comes in the morning. She keeps him very safe and well cared for but always makes sure that he has a lot of fun during the day. Joyce is so experienced that she is extremely adept at anticipating our son’s needs yet incorporates all of our wishes and values for his day to day upbringing. She supported me with breastfeeding in the beginning freezing and unfreezing breast milk, tracking our sons nap and feeding schedule, feeding him, washing and sanitizing bottles, bathing and accompanying me for his doctor appointments. She always notices right away if our son is teething or unwell and raises any concerns with us. She was extremely diligent at following all the COVID restrictions during the pandemic and is fully vaccinated. She has been very capable dealing with his peanut allergy and is trained to use an Epipen. She is amazing at finding things to do both indoors and outdoors including music, painting, pottery, gym, sports, the zoo etc., setting up regular play dates and keeping him active. She is incredibly outgoing and personable and that has helped our children make new friends as she is great at building relationships with other local nannies and parents. Both myself and my husband have busy demanding positions and Joyce has shown amazing flexibility, grace and dedication with our schedules throughout her time with us providing sanity and relief on busy days. She is always punctual and is very responsible and reliable. She also provides us with pictures and updates of our son during the day. Joyce maintains the kitchen, toys and nursery clean, neat and well stocked. She treats our son as if he were her own with a lot of love and patience. She came to us with glowing references from the previous two families she was with for 8 and 6 years respectively and we are very sorry to part ways. She is looking for a position around Brooklyn or Manhattan starting in early July. We recommend her without reservation. Feel free to email or text me to discuss further. I would love to set up time to talk.

I'm posting on behalf of our former nanny, Irene. She's a much loved member of the family. Irene's experience is vast, having worked with kids of all ages as a career nanny. She's supportive of breastfeeding, bottle feeding, formula, a pro at potty-training, and the only adult who could get our toddler to branch out beyond favored fruits to fish, veggies, and sometimes even spicier flavors. There's no one more punctual, making a high stress morning routine run smoothly for all. Most important, she loved our kids like her own, and her impeccable references suggest other families she's worked with feel the same. She is dialed in to developmental milestones, and with our support sought out neighborhood playgroups, as well, going out of her way to engage and play at every chance. Neighbors often sang her praises unprompted, and our little one's smile whenever her name is mentioned (even now following separation due to Covid) says it all. Irene has been very cautious throughout the last year, and will follow any Covid precautions your family is taking. She is available immediately.

I write this letter with a heavy heart as I truly do not know what I am doing to do without her, but the time has come for our incredible nanny, Patsy, to put feelers out for another job. With both of my children in school starting in September, there is now no need for a full-time nanny. Patsy has been with our family on the Upper East Side for nearly six years as she joined us when my daughter was four months old. She immediately won our hearts with her sweet, gentle disposition and her obvious love for children. We have watched our two children fall in love with her over the years, and she has become a member of our family, becoming my right hand and like a second mother to Hadley and Charlie. Patsy is always punctual and is always available to stay late, come on a Saturday or even stay for the weekend if my husband and I go out of town. The kids are her first priority, and she loves them as if they were her own. She is incredibly friendly and social and has been a wonderful network for our children, making friends with other nannies at their schools and in the park and always keeping them active with playdates and playgroups, which has been such a blessing and has helped in cultivating the social skills of our children. She is also willing to live in for the summertime if you have a home outside the city. She is always on the go and makes sure to have them outside as much as possible during the day when the weather permits. She understands Hadley and Charlie's temperaments and disciplines them as I would. Both kids have learned so much from her, which has been the greatest gift to me - songs, vocabulary, letters, numbers, songs, days of the week. Patsy cooks healthy meals and navigated the switch from milk to solid foods with us for both children. She is amazing with newborns and would ideally work for a family with a new baby. While she started with us when my daughter was 4 months old, she began caring for my son as soon as he was born. Patsy has been a nanny for 25 years and brings meaningful experience and knowledge to new parents. She always lets me know if something seems off with one of the kids and if I should take them to the doctor, but she also calms me down if I am overreacting about something. We hope Patsy finds a loving family who will appreciate all she has to offer. She is available for full-time or part-time work, ideally on the Upper East Side, starting ideally in July. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to reach out to Patsy directly if you are interested in speaking with her: Patsy 347-891-4555 Diana 917-846-2324

We are looking for a new family for our amazing nanny Paulette. She has been taking care of my daughter since she was 3 months old for almost 2 years and I cannot say enough nice things about her. The minute she walks in every morning, she has a smile on her face. She is incredibly reliable & flexible; always willing & able to work late or come in early whenever we are in a pinch & need the help. Beyond that though, she is sweet, caring, loving, attentive & patient. As a first time mom going back to work, leaving my baby was unthinkable until we found Paulette and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my baby in her safe hands. Day-to-day her responsibilities have shifted from when my daughter was a baby to now a toddler. Paulette is wonderful with babies She has 20 years of experience and she know everything. What I appreciated is that if you need advice, she knows what to do but she always respects that mother knows best and will do whatever is asked. I am very particular and she always respected that. Now that my daughter is a toddler she comes up with endless activities for her. She has a huge focus on development and really knows how to keep her having fun while learning. At home, she’s a great help as well, cooking dinner, doing laundry for the kids 2x week and cleaning up when there is down time. Paulette preference is to care for a baby so she can stay with the family as kids grow but she can be flexible. She can do up to 2 kids and no pets. Lastly, while she can always stay over for an evening or sniffy, she doesn’t travel with families. She is looking for a full time job 5x week.

She is very careful with our daughter, and takes great care of her health. She carefully followed measures to protect our household from COVID-19, including ensuring our daughter frequently washes her hands, and wiping and down sanitizing anything that enters the apartment.

I could also always count on Leila if I needed her to come early or stay late as she is very flexible. I could not recommend her enough and we only parted ways as we moved out of state. Leila is fully vaccinated and takes every precaution available to be safe and stay healthy (for herself and my son).

Sharmilla is simply wonderful. She was a great friend and nanny for our son, and they formed a bond that was great to witness. Our son was excited when she would come over, and she would spend time with him (unlike some who phone it in) and it was great. If we didn't move to NJ, we'd still be hiring her, she's awesome! She would even do the dishes if there were any in the sink, and do some light cleaning, even without being asked!

Hello! Our wonderfully loving, patient, responsible, trustworthy, attentive nanny Shelly is available starting June 14. She has over 25 years of experience with families in NYC/NJ, and she’s truly an exceptional caregiver. She’s fully vaccinated and is CPR/first-aid certified. She was referred to us by a close family friend, whom she worked for for 16.5 years. Since then, she’s worked for several families (5 years, 3 years, 2 years), taking care of children ranging from newborns - age 12. We only needed her help for a month before our au pair arrived, but in that time, she exceeded our expectations. As a parent, you hope to find a nanny who loves what they do - someone who has a gift and passion for caring for children, who treats this as more than just a job, who loves your children as if they’re her own. That person is Shelly. Here’s why she’s amazing: KIND, LOVING, TRUSTWORTHY, AND NURTURING: She is so sweet and gentle with my 8-month-old son. The way she holds him and showers him with affection… she genuinely loves him (and the feeling is mutual!). I love seeing how relaxed and happy he is; it’s clear he trusts her and feels safe with her. ATTENTIVE AND 100% ENGAGED: She’s never on her phone or distracted. My son loves to crawl (fast!) and she’s always right there with him on the floor, making sure he’s physically safe. Chasing him around all day is no small feat, but she has more energy than I do! HAS THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT: Shelly has the rare ability to not only soothe tired / cranky / teething / fussy babies instantly, but she’s also unfazed by it. She’s wonderfully patient, cool as a cucumber, and never gets frustrated. FILLS THE DAY WITH EDUCATIONAL, FUN ACTIVITIES: When she’s not singing nursery rhymes to my son (she knows an impressive amount!), she’s reading to him, playing with him, nurturing his curiosity, taking him on walks, or teaching him new skills/milestones. If we ask her to practice a skill (like clapping or object permanence) with him, she dutifully does it every day. She’s also not afraid to be silly and have fun with him. Under her care, our son has thrived. DETAIL-ORIENTED, THOUGHTFUL, AND RESPECTS YOUR PARENTING DECISIONS: She’s very diligent about doing things the way *you* want them done. She respected our schedule, parenting philosophies, preferences, etc. UPBEAT, GENUINE, EASYGOING, AND POSITIVE: Shelly has great energy. She is cheerful and authentic but also calming and relaxing. She’s like chamomile tea for the soul. To know Shelly is to love her. She finds the humor in things and has a lovely warmth to her. She’s just a joy to be around. RELIABLE, RESPONSIBLE, DEDICATED; GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND: She did things without even being asked to. If there was any way she could help, she’d readily jump in. She prefers to work with families in NYC but is open to those in Englewood, Hackensack, or Teaneck, NJ as well. We will miss her dearly and we want to help her find a great family. If you’d like to contact her, please text her at 201-294-4646. You can also email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Shelly really is a special, one-of-a-kind soul. She keeps in touch with all of the families she's worked for (she was even part of one of their weddings!), which is a testament to how cherished she is. Anyone would be lucky to have her!

Sharon is a caring, patient knowledgeable nanny who loves our girls deeply and has truly become part of our family over the past 3 years. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state and have to say goodbye to her. Sharon has been our full-time nanny (M-F, 8-6) for the past three years. We hired her when our first daughter was born and she now cares for both our girls (now ages 3 and 1). She has helped our girls grow into the smart, outgoing girls that they are. She loves getting them outside as much as possible and takes the initiative to arrange play dates as well as trips to the zoo, museum and music classes. She has helped us navigate COVID making sure our kids were kept safe, while helping them get social interaction that is important for their development. Sharon has the patience of a saint. She regularly redirects our 3-year-olds temper tantrums. These have been infrequent, likely thanks to Sharon's calm, level-headed demeanor. As a nanny for 20+ years and mom herself, she is amazing with newborns, always knowing what to do even when I did not! She is also very active, regularly walking the girls all over the UWS to different playgrounds. I never have to worry about the girls sleeping well at night :) She is also very reliable. She always on-time and has literally never called out sick. She helps around the house as needed with light cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, etc. Sharon is such a special person and we hope to find her a great home soon.

She has only worked with us for a short time because we need full-time support but were left in a lurch when our previous nanny became suddenly unavailable. Our friend who employed Charmaine to care for her twins recommended her to us, and Charmaine offered to come the following Monday and help us until we found another full-time nanny. She's incredibly capable - one of the most important qualities to us! She just handles things and makes us feel supported. We trust her completely. She takes our son outside every day and is so sweet when she plays with him. She follows our direction but can be totally autonomous when needed. We are really sad to say goodbye to her.

Hi, I can't believe it's my turn to write these words, but here I am. Our caregiver of 10 years is looking for a new position. Yonette has raised our three kids from when my oldest was three-months old. It's hard to summarize what she means to us in a post, but here's what you should know - Every day when I get home from work, I find three happy (post-bath) kids in the living room, relaxed and reading a book. Yonette is extremely dedicated to what she does. She takes her job seriously and loves taking care of kids. That's what she enjoys doing most. My husband and I work full time and travel frequently for work (pre-pandemic...) and we needed someone who is on top of things and takes charge. When the kids were with Yonette, I never had to worry. I knew they were protected, happy and well taken care of. Each of our children loves her and has forged a special relationship with Yonette. Yonette made sure that every milestone was met and helped us through it as first-time parents. She made sure the kids were sleep trained, potty trained, and later on that they were keeping up with their reading and writing. She always had a plan -- whether it was taking them to the park, organizing play dates, taking them to the museums, story hours and the library. Yonette would make sure they were active and would take them to the park every day. She made sure they all had a fun, full day. What was amazing to see with Yonette is that she knew exactly what each kid needed at each stage. She's fantastic with babies, just as much as she is with toddlers and big kids. For Yonette, the well-being and success of the kids is her success.

We have been incredibly lucky to have Stephanie as the sole caregiver to our newborn daughter since she was 5 months old. Stephanie is caring and just loves taking care of babies. She is attentive and takes her responsibilities as a nanny very seriously. She is open to our feedback and willing to try different approaches and always make sure the well-being of our daughter is the top and utmost priority. Our daughter was extremely difficult to feed during teething time, and at one point her weight percentage dropped to 2%. Stephanie painstakingly and patiently cultivated a positive eating experience for her. As a working mom without any family members living nearby, Stephanie is really the godsend help we needed. Our daughter has grown to "graduate" from full time nanny care, hence we are trying to find a loving family for Stephanie to be a part of. Stephanie drives and she is fully COVID vaccinated.

Nadine has been with our family for 10 years. She joined us in April of 2011 when our son was 3 months old and has been with us ever since. We also have a daughter who is almost 8 and Nadine has been an amazing caregiver for both of our children and feels more like a member of our family. We are relocating to California for work and will be so sad to have to say goodbye after all of these years! Nadine is genuine, caring and loving. She has loved our children like her own and has always done everything she can to keep them happy, healthy, engaged and loved. Nadine has done it all - at the baby stage, she did the feeding, changing, implementing and keeping a nap schedule and provided developmental stimulation for our children with books and songs and long walks outside. At the toddler and preschool stage she also helped them with learning to walk and talk and potty train. As they progressed to elementary age, she has taught them responsibility and manners and how to do small tasks by themselves like getting dressed and clearing plates off the table and cleaning up after themselves when they play. All throughout she has been amazing at finding activities and seeking out social interaction for our children by being willing to take them all around the city to go to museums, parks and playdates. Once our children were in school full time, Nadine continued to prepare their breakfast, get lunch made and packed every day, did drop off and pick up and shuttled the kids around to their various after-school activities. She has always cooked and cleaned for our children, done their laundry (including ironing!), made their beds and cleaned up. Nadine is incredibly reliable and has always been willing to be flexible to help us with our busy schedules. She has never called in sick unless she was actually sick (which has been very seldom!), she has always been willing to come in early if needed or stay late and also slept over many nights while my spouse was traveling for work. Nadine takes pride in herself and in being a nanny. She appropriately views the children that she cares for as a reflection of herself both with respect to their appearance (clean faces, hands and clothes!) and their manners (say please and thank you and show respect.). Both of our children are smart, kind, loving, outgoing well-mannered kids and I truly believe this is a testament to Nadine. Nadine has always focused on the safety and security of our children. She has never taken risks with them. She does not get distracted or talk on her phone when she is out with them and I have trusted her time and time again to take care of them when they were sick. I never once worried about leaving for work in the morning knowing that Nadine was there to take care of my children. That peace of mind is truly priceless. During Covid, Nadine has been very careful and conscientious about health and safety. She got tested regularly and also got the vaccine as soon as it was available to her. She is now fully vaccinated. Over the years, we have had multiple friends, neighbors, teachers and parents of children go out of their way to tell us how great Nadine is as a nanny and how it is clear that she truly cares for our children. We feel so fortunate to have her in our lives and to have had her in our lives for so long and truly hope that she finds a family who will appreciate her. I recommend her without hesitation and am happy to answer any additional questions you may have

These words are just a few in describing Vanessa. she also performed additional duties for our family, demonstrated a high level of responsibility in keeping the kids and house in order, and followed our directions without any complaints or objections. Some of her other functions were taking Evry to play dates, taking both kids to the park, and assisting Evry with reading, library, arts, and other small tasks.

Our loving, responsible babysitter Yvette seeks a new family. Yvette worked with our family for 12 years, since my son was born. Yvette is part of our family now – she takes her work seriously, and her priority is ensuring the wellbeing of our children. In addition to our son, she cared for our daughter. It was a hard decision, but our kids aged out of needing care. She is extremely reliable (always on time, never sick) and is professional (not a big phone talker at all). Yvette also takes initiative to organize playdates to ensure our kids are involved in the neighborhood and have appropriate developmental experiences. From day one, I felt extremely comfortable leaving my children with Yvette. I remember when we first interviewed babysitters way back when, she was the only that asked to hold my son. She truly loves kids. She is energetic, and always ensure that our kids have a good balance of park/outdoor time and school work time. Yvette would be really well suited for a family with a newborn as she used to be a baby nurse. I found her experience and sage advice very useful in the hectic, early days of motherhood. She is looking for a family who would need a sitter for the longer term and is interested in opportunities that are for a year or more. In addition to caring for our children, she does their laundry. I am happy to talk to anyone about Yvette!

She has come early when needed, and stayed late for date nights and for work nights, and occasionally helped on weekends. She has done the family's laundry, and some additional light housework. Nad is exceptionally good with newborns and infants, and followed our guidelines with handling breastmilk and doing paced feeding with both kids. Both refused bottles initially, but Nad was patient and persistent while we all adjusted. Our youngest is entering group care this summer, so we no longer need a full-time Nanny. Any family would be lucky to have Nad care for their kids! Nad is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fernanda is highly experienced and very practical in every way too. She was immensely helpful with housework and other chores, and is a flexible and dependable employee.

We are moving out of state over the summer and looking to find a new family for our truly exceptional nanny Nadira. She worked for our family for six years and has done an extraordinary job with our three children and our occasionally unpredictable work schedules. Nadira started when my oldest daughter was six weeks old and I was returning to full time work. She is an expert at safely taking care of infants, including establishing a great sleep schedule and working with both formula and pumped milk. She helped potty train my toddlers and worked tirelessly on their numbers, letters, shapes and sounds. My kindergartner has advanced math skills for her age due to Nadira's efforts during lockdown last year! She is a big believer in fresh air and park time and always has a playdate or a scheduled activity. She has come with us on domestic and international vacations and been a huge help. She is not only neat and tidy, she has somehow made our children want to clean up their toys as well. She is punctual, reliable, and always in touch with me during the day with pictures and updates. Now that we are leaving she would love to start with a younger infant or toddler in Manhattan and will be available in early June. She is fully COVID-19 vaccinated and respectful of safety protocols. If you are expecting a child or in need of a new nanny, she is the perfect nanny for you.

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.

Not a day went by where I had ANY concern for the well- being and safety of my baby. Yvonette is a self-starter who initiated teaching my daughter new things. She kept my home spotless and I always returned to a happy, well rested and well-fed baby. Yvonette kept her to a schedule and was diligent about taking her out for fresh air, playdates or to the park. As I was a firdt time mom, I often looked to Yvonette for guidance since she’d already had raised her own children. I cannot speak highly enough of her. To this day, I feel so fortunate for having being able to have the peace of mind to have her caring for my child. It is for this reason I happily recommend her without hesitation.

She is wonderful and I really know that she is ready for the next family to care for a newborn the way she helped raise my two children. We love Lisa!

Parent Reference

Devika has been an essential part of our family for the past 3 years and we are devastated to move out of the city and leave her. She has been raising my 4.5yo son and 2.5yo daughter and handles two children with ease. She has been taking care of my daughter since she was 3 weeks old and I don’t know what I would have done without Devika. She is warm, genuine, kind and sincerely loves the kids as her own. Devika is especially great with newborns, infants and toddlers. She went above and beyond and made homemade baby food for my daughter when she was first born. She somehow gets both my children to eat vegetables daily! She is great with feeding schedules, nap schedules, school activities and handles it all better than I could. The kids are always safe and never out of her sight. Other mothers comment to me about how great Devika is with the kids when I am not around. The kids never watch TV with Devika and she has a very extensive network of nanny friends with whom she is always organizing playdates for the kids. She cooks for the kids and my entire apartment is spotless everyday. She is COVID cautious and fully vaccinated. She is very experienced, full of love and I can’t recommend her enough. I hope she finds a wonderful new family to join and please reach out if you are interested and would like to talk more!
