Parent Reference

Luzia is a mature, highly experienced nanny/baby nurse who has been a part of our family for six years. She joined us as our baby nurse when our twin daughters were born and she has been a wise, reliable and caring partner as we navigated every milestone including welcoming our son 4 years ago. Her happy, consistent and patient demeanor have helped our children blossom while fostering their independence and building their self confidence. She is very proactive and hands on and is an open communicator that focuses on the best interests of the children, both in the short term and long term. She’s always creating new opportunities for them to learn, explore and enjoy the outdoors in every season! As our kids are now in school full time, we want her to find a new opportunity where her wisdom and experience can guide and support a new family. She is a team player and has assisted our family as we navigated new jobs, commutes, travel and various family commitments. Her flexibility and dedication have been exemplary and she’s incredibly reliable. She has a way of always finding a solution that best fits the needs of the family and is truly a wonderful person who cares deeply. Her 30+ years of experience across various age groups allow for working parents like us to fully trust her judgment knowing our children are being cared for in the most caring and respectful manner. She was a live in nanny as she lives Brooklyn and we are in CT but she is flexible in terms of live in/out depending on distance to Brooklyn. She has experience with all age groups and has joined her prior families as their baby nurse and stayed with them until the kids started elementary school. I hope this is a helpful overview of her extensive experience and positive demeanor and I would be glad to speak in more detail if her profile is of further interest. We want her to find the right family who will love her as much as we do!

Cook: Yes, for kids only
Laundry: Yes, for whole family
Cleaning: Yes, light cleaning only

Parent Reference

We want to share that our son’s much-beloved caregiver, Denise Paul, is available for a full-time nanny position, ideally for a baby, beginning in December 2021, as we are moving out of the area. Denise has been with us (and I say us because she feels like a member of our family) for three years, since Teddy was 3 months old. The list of Denise’s many wonderful attributes is very long, but I’ll note the following: - Denise treats Teddy with such warmth and love. Her good humor is infectious! He has thrived under her nurturing care. I attribute much of his resiliency, good humor and positive attitude to Denise’s influence. She has always challenged Teddy to grow and push himself – on the playground, on his scooter, in making friends. She has made Teddy a better kid, and me and my husband better parents. - Denise manages every aspect of Teddy’s care – preparing him healthy and varied breakfasts, lunches, dinner and snacks; taking care of his laundry; doing light housekeeping in his room and bathroom; running errands; and more. When we started Teddy on solid foods, she made from scratch all kinds of different purees. We never bought baby food because Denise kept him on such a good program (even packing us weeks’ worth of provisions when we went on vacation). - Denise could not be more reliable and punctual and has never let us down. Even in bad weather, she’s here on time. It is the most reassuring thing to know that from the moment she arrives, she has everything under total control. We trust her completely. - Denise is great at making relationships with other parents and caregivers. Teddy has a lovely little community of children due to connections which Denise has made. - Even during the height of the pandemic, when we were away from the city, Denise checked in almost daily to see how Teddy was getting on. I know she loves him as if he were her own. - For Brooklyn parents specifically, Denise knows Brooklyn Heights / Cobble Hill / Boerum Hill / DUMBO like the back of her hand – every playground, every interesting play space, every music teacher. She and Teddy are always out and about doing something fun – even adventurous outings to the zoo, aquarium or Coney Island. She even scouted out Teddy’s nursery school for us. The only thing which could separate us from Denise is the cross-country move we’re about to take, and we’re really mourning the loss of her. She has a long list of positive references from before she joined our family. Any family who works with her next is fortunate to have her! Please feel free to contact me for a more detailed reference (917-882-0047) or reach out to Denise directly (718-809-0207). Rosie & Doug Tilley

Suzette Moore-Martin

Manhattan, Brooklyn

English

Experience With: newborns, toddlers, preschool, elementary;

Availability: Full time, Desired start 2022-01-01

duties

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

Parent Reference

We wholeheartedly recommend our wonderful nanny Suzette, who has been caring for our daughters (now 10 and 7 years old) since our oldest was a newborn at 6 weeks. Suzette has been a loving and responsible partner in raising our children for over a decade. Now that they are back in school and we no longer require her full-time care, Suzette is looking to join a new family on a full-time, live-out basis in New York City. Suzette has exceeded our expectations in every way and is the only reason we have been able to juggle raising our family in NYC with two busy full-time working parents. When we met Suzette, we were new to NYC and expectant parents, but Suzette's warmth, experience, and knowledge about early childhood development and activities were reassuring and so helpful. Since that time, she has helped us navigate welcoming our second daughter into the family, sleep training, potty training, laundry, cleaning (more than sufficient for our needs, and we haven't required a separate housekeeper), and basic food preparation for our girls. When our children were infants, she would play with them on the ground, read and sing to them constantly, and verbally engage with them throughout the day. She has a deep understanding of how to care for young children, including their medical and nutritional well-being, giving us invaluable peace of mind as we left our girls with her every morning. As they grew older, Suzette reliably kept them active and helped them make new friends by arranging play dates and park trips in the neighborhood. Other parents, teachers, and doormen still routinely comment to us how lucky we are to have such an excellent and compassionate caregiver, including adults we’ve never met but who recognize our children and feel compelled to praise Suzette’s warmth. Suzette is highly experienced and professional, having worked with several families for long periods of time. Before her 10 years with us, she cared for two prior families, each for more than 10 years as well. She is still in close touch with all of her former “children” , who are now young adults attending or graduated from college. While it saddens us to imagine our life without Suzette, we are comforted to know that she will remain a lifelong presence in our daughters’ lives. She has primarily worked in the Upper East Side where she knows the parks and community very well, but she is open to other locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected], and we'll be happy to put you in touch with Suzette.

Seline is an excellent care provider who took care of our new born daughter until she was about five years old. She also looked after our son for a year until we moved to DC for a new job and she did not want to come with us. Seline does everything you would expect and does not get distracted by TV or her phone even when the kids are talking a nap. She is also excellent about not putting them in font the TV when they are awake., but instead engages with them with various activities. She is pro active with helping around the apartment without being asked by tidying up, cleaning up, washing up etc. when the kids are taking a nap or she is not otherwise occupied with looking after them directly. Honest and hard working, we trusted her fully with the apartment and the kids and just sorry to see her go. I recommend her enthusiastically and know she will make an excellent addition to any family in need of a great nanny.

She has been a nanny in the NY area for 20+ years and has taken wonderful care of our 3YO daughter for the past two years. Our daughter recently started school and we only require part time care at this time which is the ONLY reason we're posting this ad for her. She has become our daughter's best friend, she lights up every time Jenn comes to our home. Jenn is able to find a perfect balance between active play, imaginative play and quiet time while always finding educational opportunities and teachable moments throughout the course of the day. She does an excellent job of keeping our daughter on a consistent schedule and is a baby-whisperer in terms of getting her to fall asleep without any fuss. Jenn has always done all of the cooking and cleaning for our daughter and has even take on our household cleaning and the occasional care of our dog, Otis- who loves her almost as much as our daughter. =) Her preference is a position in Brooklyn that allows her to continue working for us in the late afternoons M-TH or a full time position in Manhattan. Please message her or me if interested, she will be a wonderful addition to anyone's family!

Our family has been lucky enough to have had Jasmin to take care of our daughter since she was a newborn to becoming a very active 2-year old today. She is more than a nanny to us; she’s part of our family. Jasmin is kind, conscientious, punctual, happy and extremely hard working. She was very experienced in caring for a newborn, showing us how to burp and feed her properly, swaddle and soothe her to sleep. She’s comfortable in a variety of situations infants experience through the toddler stage. She now teaches our daughter right from wrong, manners and ways to be safe around the house. She will play with our daughter for hours, take her on long walks, read to her, sing songs, take her to the park, library or any things Simone needs. She is attentive, patient and is never distracted from our daughter's care. Jasmin always displays a calm and happy demeanor. Even during the covid pandemic she remained in high spirits. Jasmin has always shown our daughter kindness and love, in turn one of our daughters first words is “nanny”’. Our daughter just began preschool hence we no longer need Jasmin’s services. As full time working parents, we have always been able to depend on Jasmin. She was never late or absent from work. She truly is a great find for any family. As a working mom I have complete peace of mind knowing our daughter was safe in her care. Prior to working for our family Jasmin had a steady group of families she has worked for years and still remains in contact with many, a very good indication when selecting a nanny. We highly recommend Jasmin! I welcome providing additional reference details and answering any questions.

She has never made me feel that I was overbearing, and nothing was too much for her to do for the entire family or me. She became one of us because of who she is and how big of a heart she has.

She was a huge asset to me when I was a new mom working full-time. She was extremely reliable and proved to have excellent instincts.

Mary is skilled in all aspects of child-care, bathing, potty-training, feeding, laundry, first-aid, play-time, etc. Mary was always in the park with my son and loved to set up playdates.

Mary is a pleasure to be around and has a sparkling sense of humor and a warm personality. (We’ve shared some great laughs!).

Allison is a wonderful, responsible, loving nanny, and she comes with our absolute highest recommendation! We met Allison through very close friends of ours who had hired her as their nanny and who gave her their highest recommendation. Allison has been with us for the last eight years, starting with us on day three of our daughter's life. Allison is loving, kind, reliable, flexible, 100% trustworthy, straightforward, social and active (in terms of organizing playdates and activities for our daughter at all stages of her life throughout the last eight years). She happily takes responsibility for all cooking and laundry/ironing as it relates to our daughter. Our daughter loves Allison dearly, as do we, and we consider her a member of our family. Allison's personality is very warm and engaging - this was important to us as we looked for a nanny. We wanted to be sure our daughter felt safe, loved and happy when with her nanny, and Allison created an environment in which our daughter felt that way. Allison also knows how to maintain boundaries for children (she will take your lead as the parents in terms of how you want to draw those boundaries) - and she is very good about being appropriately firm yet calm and gentle at the same time. Allison is very engaged - for example, when our daughter was very young, Allison was always taking her out for stroller walks and later to parks. Allison would meet other nannies/young children and proactively schedule play dates for our daughter. Allison always enjoyed taking our daughter to her various activities and classes (as a baby and toddler), and then was extremely reliable with schedules and timeliness as our daughter entered preschool and elementary school. At each stage of our daughter's life and as our daughter entered new schools, Allison adapted and helped foster the new friendships our daughter was building. We consistently receive positive feedback about Allison from other adults (teachers, coaches) regarding how engaged and attentive she is with our daughter (i.e. she is a caregiver who is focused on the child, not on her phone or distracted in some other way etc.) We cannot say enough positive things about Allison, and we feel so fortunate and blessed that she has been a member of our family for the past eight years. We would welcome the opportunity to speak further about Allison and her many wonderful qualities! Please feel free to contact us directly.

Bibi has been our nanny for the past 4 years since before my daughter was 3 months old. We now have 2 children, my daughter who is 4 and my son who is turning 2 and Bibi has helped raise both my children. Bibi is like family to us and if it weren't for the fact that we do not need her full time anymore, we would not be parting ways. She loves our children like they are her own. She is the most trustworthy, caring, responsible and loving person! Leaving your first born at 3 months to go back to work is beyond difficult, but Bibi made it as easy as possible because of the love and trust. Over the years as our family grew she was able to take on even more responsibility with ease, energy and enthusiasm. She knows how to care for newborns, babies, toddlers and beyond! In the 4 years she was a part of our family she has barely ever taken a sick day or been late to work. If we needed her to stay later she was always willing and able. During her years with us some of her responsibilities have included: taking the kids to and from school and activities, bringing them to the park, playgrounds, museums, playdates and more. She would cook food for them, bathe them, do their laundry, keep their room tidy and do light housekeeping around the apartment. She was wonderful at working with me to keep them on great sleeping and eating schedules. I really can't say enough amazing things about Bibi and any family that gets her should be honored. She will always be a part of our family and we will really miss her!

Gloria Phillip has been my son’s nanny since infancy (he is now 8), and she is now family to us. We have moved up to Albany area, and sadly no longer need a nanny. Gloria has been everything I could ask for and more. I could write a book about all of her wonderful qualities; here are her key attributes: (1) Reliable. In more than six years, she has been always on-time, usually early, and ensures my son is also on-time for school, playdates, activities, etc. If she is unfamiliar with a new location for his activities, she scopes it out ahead of time for a smooth arrival. (2) Responsible. Gloria has outstanding judgement and common sense. My son’s health, safety and happiness are always priority #1 for her, and I never worry about his well-being. Gloria not only raised two sons, but also played a major role in raising her five grandchildren (boys and girls). As a new mother, I relied on her judgement and experience. (3) Great communicator. She is very upfront talking about my son, what he needs, what she’d notice, and we openly discuss it. Since she spends more daytime hours with him than I do, I depend on her honesty and forthcoming nature. (4) Loving and fun. Gloria always arrives in the morning with a smile and cheerful hello (and sometimes a song!), both for me and for my son. She is excited about everything, whether it is a new playdate, an outing to a museum, or just a visit to a local park. She also gets a thrill out of teaching my son dominoes and card games. Every evening when she left, my son sees her to the elevator and yells “Bye Gloria! I love you!”, and he really means it. Their shared enthusiasm makes every day fun. (5) Active and pro-active. Gloria is not a stay-home type of person. She wants to take the children out to explore, go to playgrounds, to visit new places. She is a great networker with other nannies and parents, and my son always has a full social calendar. Several of his close friendships were formed as a result of Gloria consistently ensuring that my son kept up with his friends, even when the children eventually went to different schools. (6) Understanding and flexible. As a single mother, my relationship with the nanny is especially important. I travel frequently for work (domestically and internationally), and sometimes have last minute schedule changes. Gloria understands and is there for me. Her flexibility and support have made my life a lot easier. (7) Diligent and consistent. Gloria consistently keeps my son on schedule. She makes sure he plays his piano, completes his homework, eats his veggies, and practices his tennis. She takes pride in his progress as if he were her own child. Gloria can work full or part time, can start before 7:30 am. She is able to travel domestically or internationally. She will cook for the kids and will do their laundry. She also will do light cleaning in the home. She is seeking a live-out role. She is allergic to cats.

AMAZING NANNY AVAILABLE!

Following two incredible years with us, our nanny, Babita Rai, will be available for hire as of November 1st. We are saddened that we can’t take her with us, as we are moving to the suburbs, but we would love to help her find her next family.

Babita is 100% reliable and someone we can always count on and trust. She has never been late nor has she ever missed a day of work for us. She handles our 2-year-old daughter with ease and patience, the likes of which I have never seen before! She is young and active and takes our daughter to various classes and activities, regardless of the weather - and given her social and friendly demeanor, she proactively meets other nannies to make playdates. Babita is single-handedly responsible for establishing several of our daughter’s friendships with other children in the neighborhood.

She is also always eager to help out around the house – from doing our daughter’s laundry to preparing food for her, to even proactively just tidying up. She WANTS to help. To that end, I will simply say that Babita is a true GIFT. Not only has she helped our daughter to grow, develop, and socialize, but she has helped ME as a new mom all along the way. She has offered suggestions for things like when to make changes in our daughter’s eating or sleeping schedule, how to help sleep train, when to transition to sippy cups (and which ones to buy!), how to handle toddler meltdowns, when to start potty training, etc. I feel like I’ve had a friend and teacher by my side throughout the journey of becoming a new mom – she has guided me and made me feel more confident and reassured. Not only is it apparent how much our daughter loves Babita, it is also clear that Babita genuinely loves our daughter – to me, that is something incredibly special.

Babita is looking for a family in Manhattan or Brooklyn. She can care for more than one child at a time, but prefers at least one who is newborn/young, as she wants to be with her new family long term.

Please feel free to reach out to Babita directly via phone/text (347-604-1638) or email ([email protected]) or feel free to send me a private message.

Our Outstanding nanny is looking for a full-time position in New York. Aggie has been a fantastic nanny for our daughter from the age of 4 months to almost two years old (Aggie is a certified specialist in newborn care). However, now that one of us is taking a break from work and staying home with the little one, we are hoping to find her a full-time position with a loving family. Aggie exceeded our high expectations as a guardian and companion for our daughter. She has been extremely reliable and always on top of safety concerns. When coming home from work early during naptime, we would find her waiting right outside the nursery with her ears wide open. At a playground, Aggie would watch her like a hawk. An example of her going above and beyond the call of duty was her diligence in arranging playdates. We could see the joy in our daughter's eyes when she would return from one of these get-togethers. Aggie planned it all. Despite working in our Upper East Side neighborhood for the first time, Aggie quickly branched out to create this network. Now our daughter has a group of friends! She became a part of the family in the almost two years that she worked for us, and we feel invested in advocating for her next job because we want another family to have the same outstanding care for their child or children. With a few day's advance notice, she was almost always able to shift her hours around to work with our schedule. She came to us highly recommended from her previous employer, a family with several children including one with special needs. She has also trained and worked as a home health attendant. Aggie's extensive experience in childcare made her a valuable advisor in raising our child, and it shows in her patience, initiative, and problem-solving skills--we can't recommend her highly enough. We welcome any inquires by email and/or schedule a phone call.

She is kind, attentive, caring, playful, and wonderfully warm with our daughter and us. She started with us full-time when our daughter was 6 months old and continued until she was in preschool full time at 3.5 years old. We are still in regular contact with her and see her regularly. Irene helped us through the various development stages: eating a varied and healthy diet, getting onto a regular nap routine, potty training, and building language skills. Irene speaks to her solely in Spanish which was important to us though she speaks English with us. Two things that we really appreciate are the ease with which she organizes playdates and parties and how much time they spend out of doors with other children. Our daughter has many friends because Irene has committed to taking her to activities at various Brooklyn branch libraries, the botanic garden, and local singalongs. She arranges playdate with other nannies in the building and throughout the neighborhood. When I take my daughter to the park she is often greeted by nannies who know her. She takes our daughter to the doctor when she is sick, organized a birthday party for her birthday every year, reads to her, dances with her, teaches her, and is genuinely happy to see her every day. My daughter runs to her when she arrives at our apartment and jumps into her arms. When a neighbor asked if we could do a share having Irene take care of their son (he’s two weeks older than our daughter) along with our daughter two days a week last spring she willingly took on the challenge. She potty trained both children at the same time, and continued to take them out to the parks and activities every day (no matter the inclement weather) until the boy started in daycare/pre-K full time in September. She is comfortable around our large! Labrador-Retriever and has done an amazing job of keeping the dog calm when kids and caregivers come over for playdates. She is also CPR certified. Irene cooks healthy meals for our daughter and does her laundry as well as cleaning up daily. Finally, Irene has participated in multiple trainings to deepen her skills for working with young children; trainings included work on stages of development and appropriate activities, health and safety, environmental safety, and CPR. Finally, Irene’s own children are respectful, caring, and pleasant which was a good sign for us.

Claudia has been a member of our household since my first daughter was born (7 years). We are so sad to be parting ways with her as she is truly part of the family. I am sure she will always remain in touch because she has been such a wonderful addition to our two children's lives. However, as we no longer require a full time nanny, I'm happy to give another family the opportunity to be blessed with such a responsible, loving and nurturing caretaker. Claudia puts a great deal of detail, compassion, and responsibility into everything that she does. She is highly organized and vigilant about keeping a clean and safe environment for children that are in her care. She is bilingual and will teach your kids Spanish as she is originally from Columbia and it is her primary language. My kids have total comprehension of the Spanish language, as Claudia has always made a point to speak to them in Spanish and teach them new words and phrases. As a nanny, Claudia always went the extra distance. She was willing to stay late if we were running behind or needed a babysitter for after working hours. She also took the initiative to go above and beyond with completing extra little cleaning and tidying tasks without even having to be asked. She even served as a PreK teacher during the pandemic when my 4 year old was attempting to learn virtually! Claudia is extremely capable and organized and would make a great addition to anyone's home life and day to day routine. She has vacationed with us and my kids have even stayed with her (or she has stayed at our house) when we've needed weekend care. She has lots of experience working with kids of all different abilities, learning styles, and ages. A mother herself, her empathy and patience will be a great asset. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Padmini started working with our family when my oldest daughter was just 3 months old and she is now a sophomore in high school. Padmini also helped to raise my other three children from birth. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to be flexible, yet maintain discipline with children of all ages. Padmini has been responsible for all aspects of our children’s care and we work together to plan meals which she will prepare for the children. She also handled all of the children’s laundry and kept their rooms in order. She has great communication skills and coordinates playdates and can manage a very complex schedule of activities for multiple children very well. She has been an amazing caregiver for both infants and older children and truly understands how to keep children engaged in play both indoors and outside rather than having them use electronics. I have received so much great feedback from other parents about how attentive and caring Padmini is with my children and I know that she would a welcome addition to your family.

Our family was fortunate to have an excellent nanny, Roxanne, for about five years. We parted ways due to changes in my work schedule and Roxanne is now looking to work with another family. Roxy joined our family when our oldest was 7 months old and was with us when we welcomed our youngest a year and a half later. She is dependable, calm, soothing and supportive. She is even-tempered, teaches good manners and gentle discipline. She was a rock of support for our family through illnesses, tantrums and busy work days. When our children were tiny, Roxy spent a lot of time reading with them, studying words, sounds, shapes and colors. Roxy was a huge help with milestones like changing nap schedules and potty training. She makes great friendships and is responsible for matching me and my oldest with some of our earliest neighborhood family friends. Pre-covid, Roxy planned playdates and kiddie dinner parties and when our children were babies she delighted in taking them to classes. Roxy has experience with newborns on up and families up to four kids. Your family will be fortunate to have her in your lives.

Yvonne (or Aunty Yvonne as she’s known at home) started working with our family full time when my son was 4 months old. She’s been with our family over 5 years, and we unfortunately have to say goodbye to her as our son started kindergarten in Fall 2020. Yvonne has been an incredibly reliable caregiver for our very active, spirited, curious child, and helps keep our household and lives running smoothly as both my husband and I work long hours. Yvonne worked 12 hour days with us, and was punctual (or early) every single day. As a baby, our son was incredibly colicky, and struggled with multiple food intolerances, making him a very difficult baby to soothe as well to as to feed. Yvonne somehow powered through all these issues, and was a cheerful, loving presence for our son, while also keeping detailed logs of his sleep/feeding for me, and following all care instructions perfectly. When we were attempting solids, he was initially very resistant, and would fight my husband and I when we tried to feed him. Somehow Yvonne got him to eat his food quickly with zero fuss. When we eventually sleep trained him, she took on the responsibility of nap training during the day, and in maintaining a solid bed time routine. As a toddler/pre schooler she effectively ran our son’s life during the weekday, taking him to preschool, classes, therapy classes, doctor’s appointments, playdates, to museums and the park regularly. She did everything from prepping his lunch box, getting him ready for school to giving him his dinner and bathing him. By the time we would get home, he would be clean, in his PJs and ready to play with us. We also came home to a spotless apartment every evening (she does light cleaning), something we probably took for granted until COVID struck and we had to clean up after our son every single day ourselves. She helped us through every transition in our child’s life and knowing our child was being cared for by such a reliable person really enabled us to focus on work during the day. We hope that we can help find her another family that will appreciate her and benefit from her care as we have.

BABY/CHILD WHISPERER AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 1 FOR LUCKY YOUNG FAMILY I am heartbroken to say that our wonderful, kind, nurturing, and reliable nanny Dickey will be available for a new role starting November 1. We are moving to the suburbs and unfortunately she won't be able to live in, so she is now looking to work with and help support a new family. A thesaurus does not have enough synonyms for the word "amazing" to capture how incredible Dickey is, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. It's not an exaggeration to say that every day since she's come into our lives has been a gift. Dickey is Tibetan and she is loving, calm, kind, warm and an all around incredible person. She is fantastic with school-aged children and babies, and she treats my youngest son (now a toddler) like he's her own. She is incredibly doting and there is not a minute that he's out of her sight or loving care. Dickey never is on her phone or distracted. She is extremely punctual and reliable, and most importantly, we never have to worry for a moment about the health, safety, or happiness of our three children (1, 5, and 8) when they are with her. Dickey joined our family after our nanny of 7 years left suddenly, and Dickey immediately felt like part of our family. On day 1 Dickey stepped in to manage the activities of the big kids and baby. She has a warm and calm presence and zero ego or attitude. She cooks for us and the kids daily, and keeps our home and the children's things organized. Dickey will venture to the end of the Earth (or at least Manhattan!) to show the baby and kids a great time. Dickey worked for her last family for 10 years and we seriously considered staying in the city another year just to be able to keep Dickey in our lives. She is a great partner to a young family and happy to step in and help across all family tasks. She would love to look after a baby and is the perfect person to grow with your family. I am beyond happy to speak on her behalf so please reach out if you need a nanny!

She takes a lot of pride in the children's cleanliness, meal times, safety and has an active social life. Both of my children tell Dianna that they love her every single day and that love is mutual. When we're not together, we facetime. The number one thing that I can say about Dianna is that she is always smiling. That kind of energy permeates through the household. As an employee, she is loyal, trustworthy and reliable. I would love to place Dianna with a new loving family.

Cecilia has been with us for 17 years ... My daughter is off to college, and we need to find her a family with whom will care for her as long as we have. Given the fact that I am a working divorced mother, Cecilia has stayed with us since Clara was a baby. She took care of Clara since she came out of the NICU ( Clara was a preemie ) and Cecilia's experience with babies was a blessing. She later accompanied Clara to her extracurricular activities, which included Physical therapy; cooked healthy meals for her, organized all playdates at home and in the neighborhood in TRIBECA, and had a vast network of other nannies. As Clara grew into a strong, willful child, Cecilia was able to keep her on task with homework; getting her to sports and other activities on time. As Clara grew into adolescence, she was able to allow for the newfound freedom, and agreed to stay on with us as house manager, so that Clara came home to a clean house and a nice meal, in which we all participated. I am looking to relocate to be closer to my daughter, and Cecilia is looking for work. Given the COVid situation, I have kept her on an ongoing basis, and she is now fully vaccinated. Cecilia has a green card, and lives with her husband, her son, and daughter-in-law in Upper Manhattan. She is most comfortable speaking Spanish but has a working knowledge of English, and is conversational. She is a caring, trustworthy and hardworking person from Perú who has cared for my daughter as if she was her own. Please contact me with any questions you might have about Cecilia. She is currently in need of a job and would appreciate being employed as soon as possible. Best, Jacqueline

Parent Reference

Vicky is a whole family caregiver and has many years of experience with children and families. We had the pleasure of working with her at a critical time, when I started a new job and at a time when my son needed her most, post-pandemic. After months of isolation, my son was withdrawn, anxious and delayed in areas like speech and motor skills. Vicky’s calm, patient, reliable, loving and attentive presence transformed his reality and our home. She implemented a steady routine, built his trust, attentively played with him, explored art, song and dance, cooked for him, lovingly communicated with him, traveled to kid-friendly parks, and set up playdates. Socially and emotionally, my son is a different person. He asks for Vicky daily and we both consider her family. As a first- time single mom, Vicky has also been a beacon of light to me. While I worked from home, with a new and demanding job, Vicky cooked for me in addition to my son and offered advice to ensure I also felt supported throughout the transition. Vicky is always on time, pleasant and positive when she arrives, and she immediately takes over. She is always very organized, prepares healthy food, organizes play dates and gathers my son’s clothes, snacks and toys to keep him entertained, cared for and stimulated during the day (screen-free). Vicky has helped us with laundry, organizing toys, light cleaning and cooking. I love to overhear her chatting and playing with my son. Her kind and fun demeanor results in laughter and thoughtful conversations. She also made my son’s birthday extra special this year. She helped to create one of the most memorable experiences of his 3 years of life! Spanish Is Vicky’s first language and she's open to working with a family where one or both parents speak Spanish as well as parents who speak English-only. Her English is fine for work. If needed, her daughter, who is also an outstanding person, can help with more complicated discussions. Vicky is also vaccinated and open to boosters. When I had to work late (sometimes last minute), Vicky was always flexible with timing. She was my saving grace in potty-training and she is currently playing a crucial role in my son’s transition into preschool. If my son was not in school full-time, we would work with Vicky forever. She works with us part-time now, but I’d like to help her find full-time work with a great family. She has been indispensable to us, and will be to future families. I’m happy to recommend Vicky and answer any questions.

I feel very lucky that I found her because she has helped me a lot with my first child, she has also traveled with me locally, she always tries to be available when I need her to work overtime or on weekends that I have needed her. Apart from the letters of recommendation that she has that are excellent, when we meet her we realized that she is a great person.

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

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 two previous 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 mid to late September. We recommend her without reservation. Feel free to email me to discuss further. I would love to set up time to talk.

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

It is our great pleasure to recommend Kinley Yangdon for a nanny position. Kinley worked full-time with our family for 2.5 years - from October of 2018 to March 2021 - and has been an exceptional caregiver for both of our children. She started when our son was 6 months old (nearly 3 now) and our daughter was 2.5 years old (nearly 5 now), initially working 8 am - 7pm, 5 days a week. For the last nine months, her hours changed to 8 am - 6 pm 4 days / week and 8 am - 8 pm on Thursdays. She has been extremely punctual and has never called in sick. As working parents, we trust Kinley to care for our children: she communicates well with us, sharing photos and videos of the children throughout the day exploring parks, playgrounds, museums, and the library. She is very energetic and has been very creative in doing a variety of activities at home as well, including reading, drawing, baking, and playing hide and seek. In between childcare activities, she's done a great job of tidying the apartment, preparing meals, and doing laundry for the children. She has also done great job taking public transportation and cabs to extracurricular activities such as ballet and basketball camp. She has a calm demeanor and is able to effectively discipline our children. We were especially grateful to be working with Kinley with the onset of the pandemic this year. We were able to effectively work together to figure out how to adapt as the full scope of the pandemic unfolded. She agreed to travel and live-in with us for weeks at a time at a home we own out of state, quickly learning the neighborhood and keeping our kids active at the beach and local parks. We also felt comfortable to have her in our 'Covid bubble' given her conservatism and strict adherence to Covid protocols - a must for everyone's safety at this time. Our younger child will be starting full time school starting this fall and we are moving to a new apartment and will switch to live-in help as our family's needs have changed over the course of the pandemic, but we are sad to be parting ways with Kinley. Our children love her, and we want to support her to find a wonderful new family. Any family would be lucky to have Kinley on their team. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Our daughter is starting daycare and we’re hoping to find a new family for our beloved nanny, Hazel. Hazel is energetic, flexible, reliable (she's never once been late!), organized, very trustworthy, and loves being out in all weather. Hazel keeps our daughter busy during the day with songs, music, reading, and lots of outdoor activities. Our daughter loves the park and Hazel makes sure to go early in the morning so they have the park to themselves to be safe. She constantly sends me pictures and updates while they’re out which I love and makes me feel so included in our daughter’s day. Hazel has good ideas when I ask for input and will also follow directions loyally if you have a specific way you want things done. We’ve tried to keep our daughter on a consistent schedule and Hazel does a great job of following our wishes which makes the evenings and weekends so much easier for us. Hazel goes above and beyond around our home to help my husband and I keep our house organized. She does the family’s laundry (including ours!), loads and unloads the dishwasher, and keeps all the bottles and pumping parts clean. I can’t express how amazing it has been to have help with my pump parts! My husband and I are both working from home and Hazel is very conscientious of our work schedule when we’re on calls or in meetings. She also goes above and beyond to encourage us to take time for just the two of us and helped us have our first date night in many months! Hazel takes Covid safety very seriously. She’s vaccinated and always wears a mask while she’s in public. Hazel still avoids large groups in an effort to keep herself healthy and protect our daughter. Overall Hazel treats her daughter as her own and her upmost concern is our daughter’s safety.

I’m posting on behalf of our former nanny, Veronica, who is fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and is seeking a position to begin this fall. Veronica often described us as a team working together to raise our children into amazing, good humans. If this was true (and it was), she was 100 percent our MVP. I had no way of understanding when we hired her the ways in which she would transform our home for the better. She is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I have had the benefit of knowing. When caring for our two children, we could really feel her love and concern for them, and she was fantastic with them at every stage from infancy through early elementary school. Veronica joined us as I exited my second maternity leave, when our older child was two years old and our younger child was just three and half months old. As most working moms know, it is no easy task to return to work. With that said, there is nothing in the world worth more than the immense peace of mind provided by knowing that your children are in excellent hands in your absence, and it is even better knowing that they are with someone inserting fun, learning, and affection into their days. You will not find a more intelligent, poised, mature, reliable, fun, observant, hard-working, and loving nanny out there. She is loaded with wisdom on all things child rearing (and, honestly, in general), and I trusted her and her judgment totally and completely when she was with our family. She also knew exactly what I needed and longed for as a working mom, sending me plenty of photos/videos and even keeping a leather-bound book of sweet and funny anecdotes from their days (in addition to the typical log of eating/sleeping/diaper changes). She connected not only our children—but us as parents—to other families in the area with whom I believe we will be lifelong family friends. I was astounded at how quickly she transcended the nanny cliques that can exist here and became instantly friendly with nannies across all cultures and age groups. In addition to taking our children on consistent play dates with other children of like ages, she constantly came up with fun activities to take them to and to engage them in. She was a complete expert in all the playgrounds and activities for babies/children across the city. She was also great at guiding our children through developmental milestones. It was also not uncommon for us to return after work to our apartment, with it in an impossibly clean state and her playing with one of the boys on the floor. At times we relied on her to take the children to the pediatrician and to countless other appointments across the city. As a bonus, she is an excellent cook, who knows how to make delicious yet healthy meals for your kids that they will actually eat. She has First Aid and infant CPR training (I updated my certification alongside her), and she has substantial experience as a nanny. She was with the family previous to us for 9 years (in Tribeca and Murray Hill), and the mother in that family spoke only glowingly of her when we talked. As mentioned, she is fully vaccinated and has taken the COVID-19 protocols very seriously. She would prefer to find a family with an infant and to work Monday through Friday as early as you need but until 6/6:30 p.m. (barring special circumstances). We are excited for the next family who gets to benefit from the great enthusiasm and warmth that she puts into looking after the children under her care. She is a truly special person whom you won’t regret bringing into your life if you hire her, and I’m happy to speak in further detail about her qualifications and wonderful attributes should you desire.

Jennifer was such a wonderful addition to our family. She has over 20 years experience working in New York as a full-time care giver/nanny. As a first-time, anxious new Mom, I was nervous about each milestone and her calm, professional demeanor was so valuable in navigating parenthood. She straddles the line between giving advice, but only implementing what you as the parent are comfortable with. My daughter also has severe food allergies, so trusting someone to keep her safe was extremely important to us. Jennifer has experience working with many babies/children that have had various health concerns so she was quite comfortable and understood how to keep our daughter away from foods that could harm her. She is also very adamant about your child reaching their milestones. She knows what cues to look for to see when they are ready. For example, when she noticed our daughter was developing her 'pincer grab' she suggested we try foods that would help develop this skill, and now my daughter is a great eater and feeds herself! I know she will be a warm, caring support in another family, just as she was in our family.

Dolma Tshering has been the nanny for our family since January 2016 – 5+ years! She has become a trusted member of our household, and it will be a big loss for us when she moves on. She kept our entire family sane during the roughest parts of the baby and toddler years and through the pandemic. I highly recommend Dolma to her new family.

Personally, Dolma was an excellent guide to me during new motherhood. I could not have continued my job as a lawyer or functioned at the same high level without her steady hand, consistent approach, and obvious love and devotion to my son. I never worried about him when he was with her, even if I was traveling. She is a professional, who does her job at a high level.

Dolma is easy to work with and will be a big asset to any family that she cares for. It is only because our son is going to school full time this fall that she is not staying on with us.

She goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for our son. She makes sure that he eats well at all meals, and that he naps every day. Our son is an excellent napper - which we attribute to Dolma. He still takes a nap at age 5! She cooks for our son when necessary. She has been excellent at getting him on and sticking to a schedule. This has made his life and ours easier and more peaceful.

She also makes sure that he gets outside and is very good at finding and setting up play dates with other kids in the neighborhood.

Dolma is prompt and has been flexible with her schedule on the occasions when we have asked her to come earlier or leave later.

She is not on her phone when she is on duty. I have come to appreciate this aspect of her care more and more as time has gone on. She only uses her phone during nap time or when she is setting up play dates or taking an occasional call from her family. Our son does not watch television when she is taking care of him.

She does an excellent job of keeping the house tidy and ensures that the toys are picked up when we get home.

Dolma is hyper-vigilant when it comes to mask-wearing and any other risky situations. Our son wears a mask outside the house, including outdoors, whenever he is with her. I also appreciate her focus on safety at street crossings, on the playground, and around strangers.

It is emotional for me to think that she won’t be around. But it is with the highest regard that I recommend her to her next family. Dolma prefers to work “on the books”, which was important for our family.

We are helping our beloved nanny transition after being with us for over 10 years. Mimi is the most loving, reliable caretaker of humans, households and hounds. She started out primarily looking after our now 16 year old but as time evolved, so did her responsibilities. Our apartment is always spic and span as is the dog. She shops for us, runs errands, is the best ironer on the planet, and 100 % trustworthy, unobtrusive and kind. In an ideal world, we would love for Mimi to still help us, but we are completely nimble, and if she found a full time job that would make us equally happy. She is not ideal for babies as, like me, she has passed that stage. She is perfect for school age children and up. Mimi has looked after other families with whom she still keeps in touch regularly because she has become part of their brood as she is now ours. Everyone loves her, especially children.

We first met Charleen when she was a caregiver for my husband's grandfather. She worked with him for several years and we came to know her as loving, patient, gentle and dependable. Our youngest daughter was 2 months old when my husband's grandfather passed away and we were starting the process of interviewing potential caregivers. We asked Charleen if she might be interested in helping to care for our daughter, and I honestly cannot imagine what the last 4.5 years would have been like for our family without her! Now that our youngest has started PreK, we hope we can help Charleen find the right match with another family. Quite simply put, Charleen is absolutely incredible. Our kids feel it, we feel it, and so many neighborhood parents and caregivers have shared the same sentiments with us. She is reliable and trustworthy. She understands our family and what is important to us, so she has been a wonderful partner in helping to care for our kids. Charleen always had our daughter active and engaged, whether at the playground, the local library, or various kids' classes. They would sing and read together, find new areas of the neighborhood to explore, and connect with other kids and their caregivers. While she was primarily with our youngest daughter, she also spent significant time in the afternoon with all three of our kids. Whether it was picking them up after school and facilitating play time outside or getting the older two to appointments or extra-curricular activities, we knew that they were all safe and happy. We know that she is willing to work occasional late nights or weekends, if necessary. She was able to be flexible with her schedule if my husband or I had a work commitment outside of usual hours, or if something unexpected came up. It also feels important to note as we are still amidst a pandemic: Charleen is fully vaccinated and has been diligent about her own safety as well as our children's by wearing a mask and reminding our daughter to keep hers on, too. Charleen is truly a special soul and we know that any family with whom she works would be very lucky to have her in their lives!

She started her career as a baby nurse over 40 years ago and has been a caregiver/FT nanny (all long-term positions) for the past 30 years. Having a strong understanding of child development, Merle also possesses the ability to turn every moment into a teaching moment for our daughter. She is respectful of how we want to do things while communicative with us if she feels something can be done differently or better. I can unequivocally say that without Merle, Hazel would not be as well-mannered, well-behaved, or well-adjusted as she is today! She has truly changed our family’s lives for the better.

Parent Reference

Diani is the best nanny and child educator out there. The only reason we aren't working with her now is because our daughter is going to school full-time now. Diani started helping our family three years ago when our daughter was three weeks old. Throughout that time then we have seen our daughter blossom with Diani's care. We have seen countless other nannies who merely watch the child or transport them to an activity. Diani is 100% of the time actively engaged. She teaches and explains. Our daughter, at the age of two, was asking questions with intellectual curiosity well past her age, that was in large part thanks to Diani's style. We think three things set Diani apart: - She is a connector. Within a month, Diani had met half a dozen wonderful nannies in the neighborhood who were caregivers for really great children the same age as our daughter (within 3 months). Our daughter has had the same core group of friends for the first three years of her life, plus a few extras. AND most of them also were Francophone, so the kids were learning French with each other too. - She is an educator. We chose a couple of classes, but Diani also had recommendations that fit our daughter's schedule and needs. Also, Diani had weekly "lesson plans" that included in-home arts and crafts and other activities. Throughout the year, our walls began to be covered with season-appropriate artwork. Diani reinforced with our daughter manners and how to put toys and crafts away after they were finished using them. - She is part of the family. She found her place within our home, traveled with us, and cared for all of us in the way that only family does. She had glowing reviews from two past families, and every word was 100% true.

She’s wonderful with newborns and helped two nervous first time parents. She is very good with feeding and changing little ones. Very patient and calming. She’s also great with nap time and has no problem getting difficult nappers (our daughter) down for a nap. As our kids began enrolling in classes, Mayda was very helpful. She took them to everything and was very engaging with the kids. She’s also great with in home activities, especially arts and crafts. My daughter and Mayda would spend hours drawing/painting. Twice a week she did the kids laundry which was very helpful. If we needed her to prep meals or snacks, she would do that as well. I should also mention that she was recommended to us by our neighbors who used her for 7+ years with their two boys.

Have you ever questioned if your nanny was sent by God? I am in no way a religious person, but after my second daughter was born it crossed my mind more than a few times. In her 30 years of experience, Gillian has worked with only three families, as no one wants to let her go. Three words: gentleness, kindness, and patience. If you are looking for someone you can trust unconditionally, you just found her. As a new mother I could hand my infant to Gillian with the knowledge she would be well cared for and LOVED. As the kids grew she instinctively got on the floor to play with them. A former teacher in her native St. Vincent, she was instrumental in helping my daughters learn to read, write, and count very early. Gillian smiles and laughs easily (and we all need someone like that around!) She was wonderful at teaching manners in a gentle way. Additionally, Gillian recently became an accredited BABY NURSE. My daughters are now 13 and 16. We are still close with Gillian. She was a loving, warm presence throughout their childhoods.

Irene is a much loved member of the family. Her experience is vast, having worked with kids of all ages as a longtime nanny. She's supportive of breastfeeding, bottle feeding, formula, a pro at potty-training, naptimes, knows all the best playground spots, and the only adult who could get our toddler to branch out beyond favored fruits to fish, veggies (cucumbers and broccoli are still faves!), 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 following a year+ separation due to Covid) says it all. Irene has been very cautious, and will follow any Covid precautions your family is taking. She is available immediately.

I’m writing to recommend our wonderful former nanny to a new family. Youdon was with my family for two years, 1.5 years full time and .5 years part-time. Since her departure from our family, due to covid- related transitions, Youdon has been abroad and has recently returned and is looking for full-time work. She started with us a few months before the birth of my daughter to watch over my two older kids, 11 and 9, then, following the birth of my daughter, became my newborn’s full-time caregiver. I don’t think there’s a stronger affirmation about how much you trust someone than having them care for your newborn. That’s exactly how I feel about Youdon, I trust her unequivocally. She transitioned seamlessly as my daughter passed the newborn phase to a very active toddler phase. She has such a gentle nature that it’s a real joy to see her interact with my daughter. Youdon is caring, diligent, patient, attentive and has a strong work ethic. Most importantly, I see the joy in my daughter’s eyes when she sees Youdon – my kids adore her. While caring for my toddler is her primary responsibility, in the free time she has when the baby is sleeping or I’m spending time with the baby, she’s more than will to help with any household chores. She’s also very flexible, willing to work late or on weekends, which has been a huge asset to my family. As just one example, weeks before the birth of my daughter I was hospitalized for preterm labor issues, and with no other family around, Youdon stepped in and stayed with my older kids overnight with no notice. It’s also important to note that she was very diligent with COVID restrictions during the pandemic and remains very cautious given that my younger kids are not yet eligible for vaccines. I highly recommend Youdon - any family would be lucky to have her as part of their team. I am more than happy to answer to answer any questions. 9175495255

Our wonderful nanny needs a new job! She has been with us for 4 years and my son loves her. We all love her! I wish we could keep her with us forever, but my son is starting Kindergarten next week so we no longer need help during the day. Patricia has a great spirit and always keeps my son laughing and smiling. She arrives in the morning, packs him up for the day, and they are off! She always finds something for them to do. In addition to lunch and naps, you can often find them in the park, the library, the river for music, at a playground, the museum, the zoo, at a class, or on a play date. What I loved most was how Patricia made friends with lots of other nannies, so my son had a very vibrant social life with all of their kids! When they arrived home after a fun-packed day, she would bath him, feed him and I would find them on the floor playing a game when I walked in from work. Both giggling and wearing huge smiles. Patricia is great with both babies and toddlers. She taught my son so many things. One of my favorites was how he learned to walk down the sidewalk with one hand on the stroller. She also taught him to stop on command anywhere outside. To this day, if I shout out “red light” he will stop wherever he is and wait for further instructions thanks to Patricia! What else can I tell you about Patricia…she is dependable, responsible, always shows up on time and has that “nanny magic”. Ya know…how they can get them to eat, listen and try new things when you can't? He knows she’s the boss and he loves her for it. She definitely has those nanny super powers ? One more important thing to mention. My son has severe nut allergies. We carry an epipen for him. Patricia is always aware of this and makes sure he is never in a dangerous situation. She also always makes sure to tell me if there is an event coming up (like a birthday party) where they will be serving cake or something he can't eat. That way I can send her out with a replacement item to eat so he won't feel left out when everyone else is eating birthday cake. It’s so sweet. We love Patricia and I can’t recommend her enough. The next family that welcomes her into their lives will be as lucky as we were! If you have any questions or want more info, please reach out to me directly.

Rookmin Rivera (a.k.a. Janelle) worked with us as a full-time nanny from April 2013-June 2018. (5+ years). Janelle joined our family when our boys were just 2 and 5 years old, and was responsible for taking complete care of the kids as well as well as helping me generally around the house with things like laundry, light cleaning, cooking and generally pitching in wherever she was needed. From the beginning, Janelle fit in so easily to our family, as her always pleasant and easy-going nature make her a joy to have around. My parents and relatives also consider Janelle part of the family as she has been such a invaluable and reliable helper to us. Janelle has a rare combination of kindness and strictness that served our family well, as she often took over for me as a second mom to the boys since I was in grad school the last 4 years and my husband often travells overseas. Extremely trustworthy and reliable, one of Janelle’s greatest qualities is her excellent judgment. Having raised her own 2 children, Janelle has the experience that any mother would wish for in a nanny, and the ability to handle any situation with a calm and clear head. In 5 years, I have never seen her lose her temper or yell at the children, which is a small miracle. My husband and I would occasionally go on overnight trips and trust Janelle to stay at our home with the kids for a day or two without needing to give her instructions. I always knew that when I left home, she was more than capable of caring for them like I would. Janelle always went the extra mile for us and would try her best to accommodate our schedule for weekend babysitting and other special occasions. I often relied on Janelle’s impressive social skills for the boys' activities. She would make friends with other nannies and schedule playdates for the boys without having to bother me with all the logistical details, although she always asked my permission and made sure I was completely in the loop on things. She is very adept at getting around the New York City with the kids, and comfortable taking public transportation, as well as juggling various school pickups and playdates. Janelle is also very confident in the kitchen and is a fabulous cook; there is nothing she can\'t make or is afraid to try. In summary, Janelle is nothing less than a fantastic nanny and a really lovely person who I have completely trusted for 5 years with most precious belongings…my boys. Anyone would be lucky to have her in their employ, and we will miss her dearly. I am quite certain we will not be able to find anyone like her again! Sincerely, Meredith Burns

I recognize that choosing a new nanny for your family is an important decision and I wholeheartedly recommend Lorraine. She is a nanny with more than 20 years of experience. Lorraine joined our family when our son was 3 months old, was there for the birth of our daughter, and has been an important part of our family ever since. When our children were very young, Lorraine established a comforting routine for them and taught them how to be responsible and independent. She established a network of nannies in the neighborhood with kids the same age, which led to new friendships. She organized play dates and took our children to the playground. She proposed music and gym classes in the area and always got them to classes on time. When I left for work each day, I was confident that my children would be safe, happy and well cared for. As our children have grown older through these many years, Lorraine has developed a bond with them and earned their love and trust. She picked them up from school every day, made countless trips to sports practices and other appointments. She took on more responsibilities like errands, cooking and cleaning for the whole family, always ready to do anything we asked. She has been very flexible, adapting her hours and schedule sometimes at a moment’s notice. Lorraine is responsible, professional and trustworthy. She is patient, calm and fun. Most importantly, she cares for our children like her own. We wish Lorraine could be our nanny forever, but now our children have grown older and our childcare needs have changed. But I have no doubt she will continue to be a part our lives. I would love for Lorraine to join a great new family who would be fortunate to have her to care for their child/children. She has plenty of energy for babies and toddlers, and the knowledge of how to care for them well. Please contact Lorraine directly at (347) 683-3343 if you would like to learn how wonderful she is.

My son adores her and is so happy to see her when she arrives in the morning. They have so much fun together - playing, reading, painting, "exercising," and going on adventures to the playground. Mariama is very serious about healthy eating, making him well-balanced meals and snacks. As a result, our son loves all foods. Mariama is an incredible teacher. Our family is francophone, and Mariama, also francophone (and fluent in english), has been instrumental in teaching our son French. She has taught our son numbers, letters, shapes and colors. More importantly, she has fostered independence, patience and kindness in our toddler. With the pandemic, Mariama has been extremely careful and conscientious of the risks. She is fully vaccinated. She is very responsible and follows all the safety guidelines. Moreover, she has helped my son to get accustomed to wearing a mask outside, which was not an easy feat. Mariama is looking for a full time position with a family, preferably on the UWS or UES. She knows the area well, including all the playgrounds and fun activities available for kids.

Allison is a wonderful, responsible, loving nanny, and she comes with our absolute highest recommendation! We met Allison through very close friends of ours who had hired her as their nanny and who gave her their highest recommendation. Allison has been with us for the last eight years, starting with us on day three of our daughter's life. Allison is loving, kind, reliable, flexible, 100% trustworthy, straightforward, social and active (in terms of organizing playdates and activities for our daughter at all stages of her life throughout the last eight years). She happily takes responsibility for all cooking and laundry/ironing as it relates to our daughter. Our daughter loves Allison dearly, as do we, and we consider her a member of our family. Allison's personality is very warm and engaging - this was important to us as we looked for a nanny. We wanted to be sure our daughter felt safe, loved and happy when with her nanny, and Allison created an environment in which our daughter felt that way. Allison also knows how to maintain boundaries for children (she will take your lead as the parents in terms of how you want to draw those boundaries) - and she is very good about being appropriately firm yet calm and gentle at the same time. Allison is very engaged - for example, when our daughter was very young, Allison was always taking her out for stroller walks and later to parks. Allison would meet other nannies/young children and proactively schedule play dates for our daughter. Allison always enjoyed taking our daughter to her various activities and classes (as a baby and toddler), and then was extremely reliable with schedules and timeliness as our daughter entered preschool and elementary school. At each stage of our daughter's life and as our daughter entered new schools, Allison adapted and helped foster the new friendships our daughter was building. We consistently receive positive feedback about Allison from other adults (teachers, coaches) regarding how engaged and attentive she is with our daughter (i.e. she is a caregiver who is focused on the child, not on her phone or distracted in some other way etc.) We cannot say enough positive things about Allison, and we feel so fortunate and blessed that she has been a member of our family for the past eight years. We would welcome the opportunity to speak further about Allison and her many wonderful qualities! Please feel free to contact us directly.

We were very lucky to find Virna, she has taken care of our 2 and 4 year old boys for the last two years and made our lives so much better. She is a professional and takes her job of 23 years very seriously. Our children will be going to school full time in September and we are greatly saddened to have to give her up. Virna is not just a nanny but she is part of the family she is a kind loving, patient and a nurturing person who wants the best for our children. She treats them as if they are her own. Virna is reliable and punctual because she shows up 30 minutes early every single day, so even if the trains are late, she is still on time. She built relationships with other nannies, teachers, mothers and people who work in our building so everywhere we go our kids had friends and people looking out for them. We were always at ease knowing they could not be safer. She also sends us pictures throughout the day so we always know what they are doing. Our kids had an instant connection with her, she started when our youngest was 7 weeks old and we always felt very relaxed when she was taking care of him and our other son. Now they are both rambunctious boys and she has no problem keeping up with them and creating great activities for them. In the mornings she reads with them, sings with them and teaching them how to speak in complete sentences. Our children make beautiful art projects with her, she always finds creative things to do. She is always setting up playdates that are Covid Friendly. Virna is also our eyes and ears for what our oldest does in school. She has a great report with the teachers and will tell you what is happening daily. Virna gave me excellent parenting advice and has helped me to become a better parent. Please let us know if you are interested in a nanny I would love to talk with you.

Wonderful nanny available mid-September! Karlene has been with my daughter Lilah since she was 10 weeks old. The only reason we are parting is that at 3 years and 3 months, Lilah will be going to nursery school. When we had a trial day with Karlene, she made it clear her number one priority with a baby is to keep the baby safe, and also make sure the baby feels loved. She did both and more. Karlene has years of experience with newborns and toddlers and is a consummate professional. -She values clear communication -has never been late to work and often is early -has developed warm relationships with our neighbors -has literally never taken an uncalled for sick day (just to get her Covid vaccines) and only timed her vacations with ours -established and maintained a schedule for Lilah from ten weeks on -offered enriching activities and as Lilah aged, found opportunities for meaningful interactions through local classes and (outside during the pandemic) play time with local kids -gladly wore a mask at all times pre vaccine and continues to outside while with Lilah, who also always wears a mask -gladly follows our directives on specific care for Lilah -prepared Lilah’s meals (light cooking, mostly serving what we had cooked) and does her laundry Ideally Karlene is looking for a family of a baby to continue with her next journey developing a new relationship with the child she cares for. Minimum hours per week 40 and closer to 50 preferred. Karlene lives in Brooklyn and worked there for decades but was happy to have a change of scenery (and a much longer commute) up to northern Manhattan. So she is flexible about neighborhood. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Please send me a text if you’d like more information or to set up a time to speak. 917-439-2152. Karlene can be reached at 917-337-2483.

My dear and cherished nanny, Gloria, is a beautiful person inside and out. She is extremely loving, caring, trustworthy, intelligent, creative, responsible, punctual, flexible, and willing to do whatever you ask of her in order to help you and your family. She is extremely positive and upbeat and has lots of energy. Gloria has expertise caring for newborn, babies, and toddlers. She is extremely knowledgable of each stage of development and knows exactly what to do for acid reflux, teething issues, tummy time, motor skill development, brain development, age appropriate learning, transitioning from formula/breast milk to food, regular nap routine, and potty training. She is flexible with scheduling and very adaptable to meet the family's needs. Gloria can easily carry a car seat, heavy stroller, and baby bag. She loves to go for walks and do age appropriate playgrounds. She used to be a nurse and has a Montessori teaching background. She is extremely health conscious, takes hygiene seriously, and is fully vaccinated. Gloria began to care for our son when he was 4 months old. They bonded within the first 5 minutes of meeting. Our son is now 2 and a half years old. We are moving out of state due to a job opportunity. We are so sad to have to let Gloria go. We want to help her find the right family. Gloria is a one of a kind. She is professional, establishes a healthy routine but not rigid. She knows how to listen to the needs of the child and, at the same time, follow our instructions. We respect her knowledge and expertise and when she offers her help she is very respectful and thoughtful. When you meet Gloria you will instantly fall in love with her as you witness how your child and she will bond. I still recall the feeling I had when I saw my son smile and coo in her arms.

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

I am posting on behalf of our beloved nanny, Jade Fernandez, who has worked with our family helping us raise our two sons now 4 and 1.5 years old. We met Jade when she worked at our oldest son’s daycare and hired her permanently when we went into lockdown in March 2020. She is very flexible and she cared for our son on very short notice while I gave birth at the height of the pandemic in April ‘20. She’s also flexed her schedule when school closed for holidays, quarantine or one of the kids got sick. Jade is well versed in childcare ranging from infants to elementary school age children, and is certified in CPR. She is extremely professional, reliable, patient and calm, nurturing and respectful. The boys run to greet her every morning and shower her with kisses and hugs when she leaves. She formed great relationships with other nannies in the neighborhood and also arranged playdates with a small, trusted group of friends that adhered to our COVID protocols. Things we love about Jade: • nurturing and energetic — takes children outside frequently, organizes other activities within walking distance, feeds baby, prepares/cleans bottles, soothes, sets down for naps • proactive — prepares to get newborn baby on a routine, nap schedule, knows developmental milestones • reliable — on-time, recaps each day to ease handoff to parents • conscious of safety — our home is not baby-proofed • helpful — picks up toys, runs dishwasher, notices when the house needs to replenish essentials (milk, diapers, etc) and makes note for parents

Indra has been taking care of our daughter Olivia since she was 1 month old, she is now 4yo! We love Indra but we are relocating to Italy and sadly have to let her go. She is an incredibile nanny, honest, reliable, so great with kids (+30 years experience). Indra helped us with Olivia schedule, manners, development. She grew Olivia into a very gentle and calm kid as she is always smiley and relaxed. We would love for her to find a great new family she deserves, we would have never let her go if we didn’t decide to move :)
