NY Area Nannies

Electra is loving, calm and patient. She enjoys taking children outside and to library classes to interact with other kids. Our son, who can be very serious, always smiles when she comes in the morning and loves her dearly. He can be stubborn about eating (and other things), yet Electra is more determined. She’ll make sure he eats properly while being kind and attentive. She does laundry regularly and is extremely tidy. She doesn’t work Sundays because she goes to church, but if you were to give her enough notice, she would be able to cover a Sunday or two throughout the year.

I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional nanny, and although I had hoped she would remain with our family long‑term, an unexpected change in our circumstances means we are unable to continue. I want to ensure another family has the opportunity to benefit from her care.

Jill is truly outstanding. She worked with us for about a month, and during that time she became a calming, joyful, and reliable presence in our home. From her very first interaction with my 6 month old he lit up with smiles — her warmth and natural connection with children are immediately evident.

With over 25 years of experience, Jill brings deep knowledge, professionalism, and a nurturing approach to her work. Before joining our family, she spent seven years with one family and six years with another, demonstrating her commitment and the trust she builds over time.

Any family would be fortunate to have her. If you’d like more information, I’m happy to share.

Because we moved from NYC, we had to part ways with our phenomenal nanny after 11 wonderful years together. From the moment Annie met our son at just four months old, we knew he would always be safe, loved, and in exceptional hands.

Over the years, teachers, parents, neighbors, and friends consistently commented on how special Annie is and how fortunate we were to have her caring for our son.

We were the third family Annie worked with, and she has a long-standing history of staying with families for many years. She is excellent with children of all ages and incredibly reliable—never once late and rarely, if ever, taking a sick day. We could always depend on her to manage daily routines seamlessly, from appointments to activities, ensuring our son was safe, prepared, and well cared for at all times. As he grew, she continued to support his busy schedule, getting him to and from school, sports, and appointments with ease.

What truly sets Annie apart is the level of attention and care she brings each day. She was always fully engaged—never distracted—and spent her time playing, doing arts and crafts, and creating meaningful experiences with our son. We still have many of the projects they made together, and to this day, he adores her (he has always called her “My Annie”).

From infancy through adolescence, Annie supported every stage of his development. She prepared homemade meals when he was young and continued to cook thoughtful, healthy meals and snacks as he grew. Each evening, we returned home to a happy, well-cared-for child who had been fed, bathed, and fully engaged throughout the day.

She also made time off from school incredibly special—planning outings to museums, parks, and other enriching activities. Her ability to balance fun, learning, and social interaction was exceptional.

Beyond her caregiving, Annie is deeply loyal and became a trusted partner in our parenting journey. Her instincts, experience, and genuine love for children made a lasting impact on our son and our family. Many of the qualities he has today are a reflection of her influence.

While it was incredibly difficult to say goodbye, we are excited for the next family who will benefit from Annie’s care. She is truly one of a kind.

We often say we “won the lottery” when Annie came into our lives—and what she gave to our son is truly priceless.

NOTE: she will do laundry and cook for the children.

It is with both gratitude and sadness that I write this reference for our incredible nanny, who has been with our family for the past 2.5 years. She has been such a meaningful part of our lives, and it is only due to my recent job relocation to another state that we are parting ways.

From the very beginning, she brought warmth, reliability, and genuine care into our home. She consistently created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our children, always going above and beyond to support their growth and happiness. Her patience, attentiveness, and ability to connect with them on their level made a lasting impact not just on them, but on our entire family.

She always made sure the kids had meaningful interaction throughout the day by organizing playdates and taking them to classes, keeping them active, social, and engaged.

She is dependable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Whether it was managing daily routines, planning activities, or simply being a steady and comforting presence, she handled everything with professionalism and heart. I always felt completely at ease knowing my children were in her care.

Beyond her role as a caregiver, she truly became part of our family. Her kindness, positivity, and strong work ethic are qualities that any household would be lucky to have.

I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy, dedicated, and loving nanny. She will be deeply missed, and any family would be fortunate to have her.

Please feel free to reach out at 929-232-4297 if you have any questions.

I would love to recommend of lovely nanny as because we’re moving across the country. If there were any way for us to take her along with us, we definitely would!
Norissa has been with us since our son was 6 months old and has been an incredibly loving, playful, and steady presence in his life. He runs to the door as soon as he hears her come in! From our very first interaction, it was clear that she deeply cares for and loves children. Her strong knowledge of child development, paired with her warmth and playfulness, has encouraged our son through each milestone. She also helped us with several difficult issues, including a strong solids aversion and sleep struggles.
I’ve had the privilege of seeing how she shows up with my son everyday, and she is always fully present and focused on him: playing, singing, talking, reading, and laughing with him. She takes him on daily outings to the park and playground, brings him to classes, and has even helped him find friends in the neighborhood to have playdates with!
Norissa is extremely reliable and dependable and has always accommodated our changing schedules or additional hours when needed. She’s also been very helpful with preparing my toddler’s meals, tidying, and doing laundry and dishes.

We were lucky to meet Sharon in the summer of 2016 when I was about to have my second child. We had been sending our oldest to a daycare but realized that would not work well with two children — it wasn’t easy with one! Sharon made our lives infinitely easier and was wonderful with our kids. She truly loved spending time with them and they loved spending time with her. She kept them very active — taking them to parks and libraries and organizing playdates with other nannies and kids in the neighborhood. She was always on time and willing to stay late (even last minute when my job required) or come on weekends. Sharon stopped working for us in 2020 and she then worked for two other families and now is working for the MTA but would like to return to nannying and is looking for a new family. Please feel free to reach out!

Moni has been an invaluable part of our family for 3 years — from the time I brought my daughter home from the hospital, to her first day at “school” and the start of my second pregnancy.  She is intuitive and protective.  Moni taught my daughter her alphabet and numbers quite early, always found interesting library and music classes, and helped her make friends at the park who she still considers her closest friends. I asked her to speak Spanish exclusively to my daughter to fortify the language, and she absolutely did. Moni also made sure my first floor was immaculately tidy every time upon my return from work. I interviewed a LOT of people before I landed on Moni, and I cannot speak more highly of her, she is certainly a gem.

We are so excited to recommend our former incredible nanny, Melissa, to a new family through Mommybites!

Melissa was an essential part of our family, she brings over 24 years of hands-on childcare experience with children ranging from as young as 6 weeks old through the early teen years. She is not only deeply nurturing and attentive, but also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to child development, routines, and milestones. As a mother of three adult daughters, she brings both professional expertise and real-life parenting wisdom into every home she enters.

Melissa arrives each day with a happy, energetic disposition, ready to get the day started. She is a true self-starter, and the children naturally gravitate toward her. She has a gift for creating a warm, loving, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and truly seen. From introducing solids and managing sleep regressions to potty training and navigating toddler transitions, she approaches every stage with patience, confidence, and care.

She is dependable, proactive, and fully invested in the well-being of the children she cares for. Melissa takes initiative in assuming all responsibilities related to the children, including meal prep, organizing schedules, planning engaging activities, and ensuring each child’s emotional and developmental needs are met. She also helps with light household tasks, which she consistently initiates on her own without needing direction.

Melissa is a true team player—direct, transparent, and communicative with parents—making her not only an exceptional caregiver for children but also a strong support system for the entire family. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of her role, bringing dedication, warmth, and professionalism into the home. Most importantly, she treats the children as if they were her own—with genuine love and care.

Melissa is currently available part time through June and full time beginning mid September, and she’s looking to join a new family where she can continue to offer her exceptional care and become a trusted, support system.

Any family would be truly lucky to have her. Please feel free to reach out for more details or a direct reference. We cannot recommend her enough!!

She is loving, caring,
happy, responsible and reliable. She is amazing at engaging children at different age groups, arranging play dates with my son’s friends, very friendly with my sons friends and parents, helped with potty training, and helped him learn his numbers and letters. She created a routine schedule of learning and creative play for my son. Anyone who knows or works with children knows routine is key and she excelled. She has all the attributes you look for in a nanny.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Mediour Mdengue care for my daughter for three years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most exceptional childcare providers I have ever met.

From the very beginning, Mediour created a safe, loving, and structured environment where my daughter truly thrived. She treated my child as if she were her own—always attentive, patient, and deeply nurturing. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is in capable and caring hands, and Mediour consistently exceeded my expectations.

Her experience truly shows in everything she does. Whether it was managing daily routines, preparing meals, supporting early learning, or simply providing emotional comfort, she handled every situation with professionalism and warmth. My daughter developed beautifully under her care—socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

What sets Mediour apart is her reliability and genuine dedication. She was always punctual, trustworthy, and flexible with our family’s needs. Her calm demeanor and natural ability to connect with children made a lasting impact on our household.

Even after three years, we still consider Mediour part of our family. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a highly experienced, dependable, and compassionate childcare provider.

Please feel free to contact me for further reference—I would be more than happy to share more about our wonderful experience.

Muofhe, who goes by her middle name, Confidence , affectionately called CC by our two year old daughter, served as our nanny for seven months during our stay in Brooklyn, NY.

From the moment Confidence walked through our door for her interview, my husband and I had an immediate feeling that she was going to be the right person for our family. This proved true from the start and we couldn’t be happier with her and the love and care she showed to our daughter.

Confidence effortlessly played with our daughter and taught her various concepts. The alphabet, counting to 20, colors, patterns, etc. were lessons that were incorporated through daily play and fun. Within a few weeks, our daughter was blowing our minds with what she knew and the random things she would say at the dinner table.

Confidence also would help with light house keeping, cooking for our daughter, and she had our full trust to accompany her to activities around the city.

Confidence was always on time, always willing to go above and beyond, did not need directions; she just knew what to do and did it. It was a pleasure to have Confidence be a part of our daily lives.

Hello! I am writing on behalf of our nanny, Caluta. Caluta was our full time live in nanny for 3 years and now works for us solely on weekends. She is a part of our family & my children absolutely adore her. Caluta is active and fun with our high energy school aged boys and young daughter. She guides them with a loving and warm personality that is patient, not quick to anger and extremely attentive. She is the kind of person that actually plays with our kids and runs around with them and is never on her phone. We also love how she constantly reads to them and works on school work or early learning like letter recognition, puzzles, building, writing ETC. We trust her whole heartedly with safety and care and have left for several vacations with her in charge and never worried. Prior to working with us, she was a live in a nanny for a family for 19 years – which speaks highly to her character and the fact that she is someone who is great to have around. She is easy going, easily adaptable and genuinely loves children and being a caretaker. In addition to all of her wonderful nanny skills, Caluta is an amazing cook who took charge of cooking for our kids and many times also for my husband and I and also our visiting guests. She is looking for a live in or live out position with a family that she can work with for years to come. She can start in May and would ideally be in the Harrison or Rye area. Her preference is to work 4 days a week. Please reach out to her if you are interested.

We have had Ali with us for the last 5 months, and the only reason we are giving her up as our nanny is because we are moving outside of the city. When I was going back to work, I was so nervous to leave our then 6 month old son with someone and when we found Ali, I was instantly put at ease. She is incredibly loving and caring for our son and he lights up every day when she walks in the door. She is extremely reliable and always willing to help out around the apartment. She does the baby’s laundry twice per week and on occasion she will do me and my husband’s laundry. She always makes sure the apartment is tidy and dishes are clean. She also keeps our baby very busy – she loves bringing him to classes, to the library or now as the weather is getting nicer bringing him for walks outside and to the local playground. Any family would be so lucky to have Ali with them! Please feel free to reach out directly to Ali if you are interested.

Assana is an experienced professional nanny with over 15 years of experience as both a nanny and travel nanny. She has worked with multiple families, helping raise their children with patience, structure, and consistency. She has watched my family grow and has been a great addition to our support system.

While it is bittersweet for us to write this, I wholeheartedly recommend Mayra Gonzalez, who was an integral part of our family for the past five years. We had truly hoped she would remain with us for many years to come, but due to a change in our family circumstances, that is no longer possible. Although we are very sad to see her go, we know she will be an incredible addition to another family.

During her time with us, she consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, warmth, and professionalism, and she became someone we trusted completely with both our children and our home.

Mayra has a natural gift with children. She is engaging, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them—whether that meant imaginative play, outdoor activities, or helping to support their daily routines. Our children absolutely adored her and truly looked forward to every day they spent together. She had a remarkable ability to connect with them at every stage and tailor her play to their interests and ages. From playing catch for hours with our 8-year-old son to sitting on the floor and fully immersing herself in imaginative doll play with our daughter—Mayra brought joy, energy, and care into their daily lives.

She also took on key household responsibilities related to the children with great care and consistency. She regularly prepared healthy, thoughtful meals for them, managed their laundry, and helped keep their spaces tidy and organized. In addition, she was a consistently safe, responsible, and reliable driver, ensuring the children were transported to and from activities with care and punctuality.

Most importantly, Mayra is incredibly trustworthy and dependable. We always felt at ease knowing our children were in such capable and caring hands.

This decision in no way reflects her performance, which has been outstanding in every respect.

Any family would be truly fortunate to have Mayra as part of their home. I recommend her without hesitation.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss her experience further.

We’re wholeheartedly recommending our wonderful nanny, Farah, who was with our family for over four years caring for our two daughters (now 4.5 and 2.5). She has been such an important part of their lives and truly cares for them with love, patience, and warmth.

Farah is completely trustworthy, dependable, and communicates openly. She prepares healthy meals and keeps the girls engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. She regularly takes them to classes, playgrounds, and neighborhood outings, and is fantastic at organizing playdates and helping them build friendships in the community.

Farah is now looking for a part-time role in Manhattan (Monday–Friday, flexible with hours between 9-5, 30-35 hours a week), ideally with one child. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Feel free to contact her directly at 646-234-5001 and happy to talk more if you have any questions!

I’m happy to provide a reference for our nanny, who was with our family for the past eight months. During her time with us, she was consistently reliable, always arriving on time and maintaining a dependable schedule, which we truly appreciated.

As a first-time mom returning to work, it was very important for me to feel comfortable leaving my son in someone else’s care. She helped make that transition easier, and I always felt that my son was safe and well cared for while I was away.

She was also very consistent with household support, including keeping up with our laundry and helping with day-to-day tasks around the home. She always cleaned up after our son and kept his spaces organized, which made a big difference in our daily routine.

In addition, she regularly attended classes and activities both within our building and in the community. Through this, she helped our son socialize and build connections, creating a small circle of familiar friends for him, which we really valued.

Over time, she became a steady and familiar presence in our home and a part of our family’s routine. She was responsible, trustworthy, and maintained a consistent level of care throughout her employment.

We’re grateful for the support she provided our family and would recommend her to another family seeking a reliable and dependable caregiver.

Exceptional nanny available for nights or/and weekends childcare

Our wonderful French nanny and daughter’s best friend is now available to make the nights and/ or weekends of a new lucky and loving families easier!

Didi was a dream come true for our family and it’s a great pleasure to highly recommend her to her new loving families as we moving out of town.

She has 15 years of experience working with children of all ages and she’s incredibly patient, loving and amazing with our baby.

She has been taking care of her since she was 3 months old and she’s 4 years old now.
Hiring Didi in 2022 was the best decision ever made for our family. She’s energetic, attentive, kind, responsible and extremely reliable when it comes to keeping our girl healthy and safe.
For 4 years, our girl has been well-fed, carefully bathed, toilet trained, nap trained, entertained, loved, cuddled everyday. We always felt completely secure with leaving our daughter, our first and only child in her care.
Didi has made our girl’s life full and fun by engaging with her in multiple activities and by organizing play dates, story times, music times, painting, etc. with the other nannies of the neighborhood in order to encourage her to speak, play and interact socially with others. The results on our girl is amazing. Thanks to her special skills and approach to caring for our girl, she’s smart, curious, happy, confident, well mannered and totally fluent in both French and English.
She cooked the most delicious healthy meals for our daughter and our apartment was always spotless as she light cleaned after her.

Didi has a great sense of communication, she respected our personal parenting style but was also confident enough to independently make day to day decisions regarding our girl. We deeply value her extraordinary calm and patience with our child. Our girl absolutely love her, she runs every morning at the door to welcome Didi with excitement, joy and hugs.
She has been such a great contribution to our family and we’re so grateful for all the ways she’s made our life easier!
Please, take note that Didi is fully vaccinated and covid cautious and that she is willing to help families primarily at nights or/and weekends.

Feel free to reach out to her directly through her phone number 347-907-7639. I’m also standing ready to sing more her praises. Contact me for further information at gigilene10@gmail.com

Lurine has been our wonderful night nurse for the last 8 weeks and has been an absolute blessing to our family. From the get go it was clear she has a wonderful personality, adores babies, is reliable, and is easy to communicate with. Over time we learned how much of a calming presence she was, particularly in those early days and regressions when times are tough. We looked forward to every night Lurine was with us, because we knew we could rest easy and our son would be taken care of. In the mornings, our son has the biggest smile waking up with Lurine. They sing songs, read books, play, talk, and she even got him to enjoy tummy time!

As a new first time mom, Lurine made me feel very comfortable and safe asking questions and learning how to be a new mom and care for an infant. I never felt judged or pressured into doing something, which I can’t say for all of my night nurse and nanny experiences. She is also very experienced with developmental milestones and newborn care, and she gave us amazing tips and encouragement to support our son.

Separately, our son has specific medical needs (he feeds from a g-tube) and it was difficult finding someone we could trust who was caring and attentive enough to learn different feeding and burping processes, and Lurine embraced the challenge beautifully.

Lurine is looking for her next family and is open to night nurse positions Monday – Friday in Brooklyn and Manhattan! We couldn’t recommend her strongly enough!
