I will start by saying I am extremely picky when it comes to childcare. Sannette won over my trust since she came through my door with her resume in hand and her warm demeanor. She is extremely professional and has a beautiful energy. She is able to truly partner with you and accommodate to your parenting style. She is also a nurse with great preparation who is able to recommend good practices for the care of your child, in particular a younger baby such as with mine. She is energetic and nurturing, and keeps my now 6 months baby happy and engaged the entire time she is with her. She has also been great helping me bottle feed when my baby used to refuse the bottle. At this time I have to give her up because we are moving to the West Coast. She is open to part-time work in the Williamsburg area or full-time in Manhattan as well. I will be more than happy to offer further details as needed. With Sannette your baby will be in great hands!

Parent Reference

You should hire our amazing nanny!!! Tammy was a beloved part of our family for the past 3 1/2 years. She is calm and flexible, and was a loving and steady presence in our home. This last year she took care of my 9, 7, and 4 year olds as well as my 2 year old nephew (who she has cared for since he was 3 months). She is amazing at getting a baby on a schedule for naps and feeding, and was able to anticipate and help with each developmental stage. Tammy often took care of all 4 children at the same time, and was always in tune with each child's needs and schedule, and created a warm and happy environment for all of them. Tammy is loving and wise. She has a magic touch with children -- she developed close and caring relationships with all 4 kids, and was able to comfort them when they were upset and help them all interact together kindly and lovingly. Tammy was happy to play Legos and games and do art projects and read books for hours at the appropriate developmental level for each kid. She was totally on top of everything -- all 4 kids' schedules; current food likes and dislikes; naptimes and bedtimes. We would have kept her forever but my youngest is now in preschool and we no longer need a nanny. We miss her terribly and she regularly texts and FaceTimes with our kids. Tammy is a treasure!

She loves my daughters like her own, and I never have to worry about their safety. They are always out keeping busy, and she truly takes interest in their happiness and growth. Luan is looking for a full-time job, preferably on the Upper East Side and with a newborn. She also has experience with doing a nanny share prior to joining our family. Our loss is someone else's gain!

Our circumstances have changed and our nanny of almost 3 years is available for full time work. Marcela joined our family when our oldest son, now 5 was 2.5. Marcela was with us for the births of our two other sons, now 2 and 7 months. Marcela is patient, gentle and caring. Our middle child had horrible reflux, which made feeding him very difficult, Marcela and myself were the only ones he would take a bottle from. She would sit and sing to him, talk to him and walk him until he was calm and finished his bottle. Marcela was extremely helpful with my oldest when he was having a hard time having a new brother around. She took him to the carousel, Natural History Museum and Prospect Park Zoo and many more places with his friends. Marcela is social and makes friends in the neighborhood, sets up play dates, takes the boys to classes, does drop off and pick ups from school. She is amazing in the kitchen and will prepare anything you ask including baby food. Marcela will love your children as if they are her own. All three of my boys adore her. She has built a special bond with each of them. It’s important to us that Marcela finds a job with a kind loving family.

Parent Reference

Fiori has been a reliable, flexible, supportive and beloved nanny with our family for the past 4 years. Fiori started with our family when my daughter was 6 months old care for my daughter (now 4.5) and my son (now 2) full time. She has developed close bonds with both children and has been excellent with them as babies, toddlers and now pre-school aged. Throughout our time in NYC, I consistently heard from other parents and neighbors in our apartment building how caring, thoughtful and devoted Fiori is to our children (people I didn’t even know would come up to me because they had seen her on the playground with the kids). She genuinely looks for ways to help out and will pitch in without being asked. She has been exceedingly responsible and is never ever late. In the 4 years she has been with us, she has taken 2 sick days. She has been very flexible with last-minute requests to come a bit early or stay a bit late. She does an excellent job with kids activities and arranging playdates and is very pro-active about keeping the kids busy without resorting to screens (she has never used TV, cellphones or ipads to entertain the kids). She excels at building relationships with other nannies and parents to coordinate activities that will benefit the kids (she’s the only nanny I know who had playdates with other parents and grandparents of my children’s classmates). We recently moved to NJ and Fiori helped us transition with the kids and re-worked her commute to stay with us and extra few months to get settled. If it wasn't for the move, we would definitely want Fiori to keep working with us. She is an absolute gem and any family would be lucky to have her.

Parent Reference

We recently moved to the suburbs and would like to find our beloved nanny, Myrtle, a new family to work with. Losing Myrtle has been heart-breaking for our family – perhaps the hardest part of leaving the city. She has been an exceptional caregiver for our children, and at every turn has made our lives easier. Myrtle began working with us when our oldest daughter (now 5.5 years old) was a baby (2 months old). Since then she has also cared for our second daughter (now 2.5 years old) and our newest son (six months old). Our children cherish their time with Myrtle. They run to her when she arrives in the morning and are upset when she leaves in the evening. Her long tenure with each of the families that she has worked with over the years (5+ years with each) speaks to what a great caregiver she is, and her other families will give her similarly glowing references. Myrtle is always on time. She prepares nutritious meals that our kids will actually eat (no small task). The children’s laundry is always done. And I always come home to a clean, tidy home (more so than when I left!). She is fun, energetic and kind. Most importantly, Myrtle is trustworthy and has incredible judgment. I’ve never once had second thoughts about the way she has supervised the kids and I leave for work each morning knowing they are in safe and competent hands. Myrtle is also incredibly social and is great at organizing playdates with other kids in the neighborhood - I’ve had so many neighbors tell me, unprompted, what a great job she does with our children. Myrtle would prefer to work in Manhattan, but is open to parts of Brooklyn as well. She would also love the opportunity to work with another baby so that she can once again grow with the family, but is open to all families. We and especially our kids will miss Myrtle tremendously and would love to find a great family for her to work with. You will not regret working with Myrtle – 5 years later, we never have.

She is very energetic and outgoing, and always comes up with fun activities outside to engage my 4-year-old daughter, including play dates with other nannies. She cared for my daughter from 6 months until she was 4 years. During this time, she was a great help to the whole family and especially to my daughter. She is Very responsible and trustworthy; she became very quickly a close member of our family. She was very open minded to adopt the way we wanted to raise our daughter and she was great in adopting new ways of dealing with a 1-2-year-old child. She is very patient and flexible and adapt to the quick changes in our daughter development. She helped me tremendously with the potty training (done in 5 days). She knows the area (upper west side) very well and has a great nannies network, which was very helpful to make play dates almost every day. She helped preparing meals and took care of everything related to my child. I highly recommend her for families in the area. Please contact me if u have more questions, I can share more details.

Parent Reference

Pat is a very reliable and loving Nanny. She took care of our two boys for 10 years but now they're grown and we'd love for Pat to find a new role with another family. Pat traveled from Brooklyn to our Upper West side apartment and was punctual (usually early.) Pat was also extremely flexible, which was a huge benefit to us -- we often needed her to stay late and she always obliged. My boys adore her and Pat feels the same about them -- we always felt confident that our boys were safe and well taken care of with her. Pat doesn't drive but takes the train or bus anywhere, and will dutifully and reliably follow any detailed directions given. Pat was great with our boys as babies; she has a real way with little kids, getting them to sleep and taking care of their general well-being. As they grew she played with them and nurtured them, and would take them all over Manhattan to their after-school activities. Pat would keep our place tidy with light cleaning and cooked for the kids everyday. Pat would also do shopping for us every now and then. If you want a loving, reliable nanny, Pat comes highly recommended.

Parent Reference

Our incredible nanny Stacey has been with our family since our first was born, 5 years ago; we have a boy, 5, and two girls almost 4 and 2 (plus a french bulldog). She started with us in the city and for the last 4 years she has been commuting 3+ hours each day from Brooklyn to Westchester after we moved. **Stacey is looking for a full-time position with ~50 hours a week.** Stacey has been an excellent nanny at all stages – from our infants to juggling 2 and then 3 kids under 4 years old. She has tackled child development issues with us for the babies including sleep training, low weight issues and nap/sleep schedules as well as for our toddlers, including potty-training, pre-school separation, sharing, testing boundaries, etc. She is very consistent in her approach with the kids. They know each day they will be greeted by a smiling face, a fun, caring and loving nanny and that certain activities (like drawing on the walls) are not allowed. She is focused on healthy eating habits for the kids, including balanced meals that are seated at the table. She gets our toddlers to eat their vegetables and allows our slow eater the time she needs to finish. She also works around some food intolerance. Stacey is young (40) and active. She loves to be outdoors with our kids and has the energy to run around with them. She can also manage to keep them entertained and happy indoors on a bad winter day. She reads, colors, builds and explores. She's not a texter or talker. When she's with our kids her phone is in the room but not in her hand. Stacey is very independent, trustworthy and low maintenance. She only calls when there is something urgent to handle. She is easy going and takes requests for modifications well. She also will have conversations with us when something is bothering her rather than letting an issue fester. She is mature and intuitive. Stacey is reliable. She is always on time and is willing to spend a few moments talking through the day with us each evening rather than running out the door when we arrive home from work. In 5 years, she was sick only one day. She requests her days off well in advance. She has a daughter who just started college. Stacey came to us from Anne-Marie who worked in finance with two young girls, living on the Upper West Side. Stacey worked with them for 2 years before they moved to Westchester. Before that, she was with Jessica, a doctor on the Upper East Side. She had been with Jessica for 6.5 years; first for her son then the arrival of her twin girls who started kindergarten when Stacey left. Our kids are now all in school and we transitioned to an au pair but I wish we could have kept Stacey forever.

Looking to help place Flo, our lovely and caring nanny of 7 years, with a terrific new family. Flo joined us when our daughter was turning 1 and at 8 years old we no longer really need her help full time. Flo has been a tremendous nanny from infancy through the toddler years, through pre-school and now into the early grades. She was always calm and even-keeled through the mishaps with infants (feeding, diaper messes, tantrums, etc.). She's always been incredibly responsible and attentive with our daughter, watching her for safety in the playgrounds, ensuring kids are playing well together, cross streets carefully, and so on. She's been the sole organizer of playdates with both nannies and moms and she's so in tune with my daughter's friends and good and bad influences (steering away from situations that were not good influences). She's helped us with most meals of the day (healthy), light cleaning for our daughter, our child's laundry and just help keep things organized. She's been absolutely reliable for 7 years with almost no sick days in that time. I should also mention that over the years I've had multiple parents comments on how lovely Flo is and how lucky we are to have found someone like her. My daughter is deeply attached and I would love to place her with another great family to benefit from her calm and quiet care.

When she started with us, Elizabeth got him on a feeding schedule and a nap schedule and helped him transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding. She also arranged regular playdates with other nannies, and researched classes in the area. When it came time to start solids, Elizabeth pureed a range of nontraditional combinations, adding spices and taking care to include a balance of fruits and vegetables. On a weekly basis, she takes our son to the library, to the park, to music classes, and on playdates. She is very proactive about finding fun things for him to do, and even put together a thorough list of developmentally appropriate toys to help guide our purchases.

THE BEST nanny is available for full-time work, beginning January 2020. Fernanda has been with us nearly a year and a half, but it feels like we’ve known her for a lifetime. She started with us when our son was 9 months old and has been with us through his 2nd birthday. We’re relocating and it is breaking our heart that we cannot take Fernanda with us. She is the most genuine, caring and enthusiastic caregiver we have ever encountered – her energy and love is contagious. We have had multiple neighbors and people in the neighborhood that we don’t even know stop us to comment on how great she is and how dedicated she is to our son. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has met our son’s every needs from playtime and playdates, language skills, feeding and even potty training! He is becoming such a loving, curious and well-mannered boy and it is in great thanks to Fernanda. More tactically, Fernanda has never been late for work without advance notice (and is early nearly every day), rarely takes time off or a sick day. She is flexible with our schedules, even last minute at times. She cooks and cleans for our son (and sometimes for us!) and always makes sure that his laundry is done and that often goes above and beyond by helping with extra cleaning and caring for our dog when she does not have to. She constantly has outings and activities planned for our son – usually multiple a day – I don’t know how she has the stamina! All this while balancing structure including scheduled meals, eating healthy and firm nap/bedtime in his crib everyday. I couldn’t give someone a higher recommendation than Fernanda, and she deserves to find the best family – I hope that’s you!

Beverley has cared for over 100 babies so she's an expert on baby care but she really took care of the whole family which was so important during such a fragile time. A lot of friends questioned why I needed a night nanny since I was breast-feeding and would wake up to nurse at night. As I explained to them, having Beverley allowed me to sleep much longer and better, as I could trust the baby in her care between feedings and go back to sleep without having to listen for wake-ups. She would also change and burp the baby and help him go back to sleep so I could go back to sleep sooner. This all amounted to many extra hours of sleep each night. During this process, Beverley got to know my babies' sleep and feeding needs/habits so that when the time came she stayed during the days to get them both on sleep/nap and feeding schedules. They've both been excellent sleepers as a result. Beverley was of course also extremely helpful in setting up and maintaining everything we needed for the baby and his care. She has encyclopedic knowledge on all things baby. I can’t overstate how reassuring this was to have such an expert in our house, and one who was not at all bossy or pushy, but rather extremely supportive and gentle. With all the contradicting parenting books, I often got overwhelmed with how to do everything. She always knew what parenting techniques fit best for our family and would be best for our baby. As I said, she got our babies on sleep and nursing schedules, always knew what they needed when they got sick or had fussy periods, made sure we always had all the supplies we needed, and kept everything clean, freshly laundered, and organized. She also had the most incredible ability to communicate with our newborns. I’ve never seen anything like it. Beverley could talk to them and they would vocalize back in such a connected way. When it came to helping me with my needs as a new mom, Beverley was just as loving and attentive to me as she was to the baby. She knew all about breast-feeding and latching techniques, ways to increase breast milk supply, and was there with a glass of water or pillow whenever I needed it. When my husband and I had some downtime, she knew just how to give us some private space despite being in a small apartment. One of the things I most appreciated though was when she was there for me when I needed reassurance or emotional support. I soon began to look so forward to when she’d arrive each day. The postpartum period brings with it so many heavy emotions and her warmth and incredible spirit was always just right. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beverley Witter as a baby nanny/night nurse. Anyone considering hiring her would be extremely lucky to have her. She is someone who values family, generosity, playfulness, and professionalism. She was an incredible blessing in our lives and the only difficulty in having her was saying goodbye. Please feel free to reach out to Beverley directly at 347-742-1676 or to me at 773-343-3484

Tracy made having an infant seem a little more manageable. Her 16+ years of experience made her invaluable when it came to figuring out all the things my little guy needed: bottles, sterilizers, bibs, bath tubs, strollers, etc. She helped us understand how to keep our son from getting sick and how to keep him and his things clean. She also sleep-trained our son for daytime naps and got him on a more predictable schedule. She accompanied me and my husband to endless pediatrician appointments. She helped us get through my son’s food intolerance and our concern about his possible tongue tie. She is now helping us start on solids. My son adored Tracy and lit up when he saw her in the morning. She knew how to make him laugh and was sometimes the only person who could figure out what was bothering him. She was great at finding activities for him that help him develop physically and mentally. She talked to him and they enjoyed each other’s company. Please feel free to reach out to me or Tracy directly. Thanks! -Lidiya

Parent Reference

Ngawang has worked as a full time nanny for our family since December 2012. My husband and I are both professors at Columbia University. At the time Ngawang joined our family, we had just had our third child. When she started our youngest daughter was 2.5 months old, our son was 4.5 years old, and our eldest daughter was 7 years old. Her primary responsibility was to care for our newborn daughter. However, several days a week, she picked up the older two from school and had all three kids at home. During this time, she completely cared for our newborn, including feeding, diapering and doing her laundry. As the children got older, and were in school for more hours, her responsibilities changed. She willingly took on helping with grocery shopping, running errands, cleaning the house, doing all of the laundry, and cooking. However, she remained the primary care taker for our youngest daughter from newborn up until when she completed first grade. Ngawang has truly been a second mother to our daughter. The love that they share is absolutely genuine and comes from Ngawang’s deep capacity for compassion and love. She has loved my daughter like one of her own children. I never worried for my daughter’s well-being or safety when she was with Ngawang. She has a kind and gentle demeanor but also expects the kids to be respectful to her and to others. Ngawang is responsible. She was never late and always comes, even when the weather was treacherous. Even though we offered for her to schedule a week of her vacation on her own time, she has always only taken vacation when we were off. She is incredibly trustworthy. We have left cash and blank checks lying around our house, without ever worrying about things being taken. She has been proactive in getting to know our daughter’s friends and their care takers. She has arranged many playdates for our daughter on her own without us ever asking. She in many ways has become the neighborhood nanny. Many of our friends has used her when their child was sick at home or for babysitting. I give Ngawang my unqualified, highest recommendation for your nanny position. She is leaving us only because our children have grown and we are no longer in need of full time care. Any family that hires her is incredibly fortunate. I would be happy to discuss over email [email protected] or via phone (cell: 646-530-4202) if you have any questions.

Hillary is an amazing nanny! She came recommended by another parent and from day one swept in and swept us off our feet. I was nervous to leave my 6 month old baby to go back to work, but she jumped right in, made an immediate connection with my daughter, eased my fears and provided expert care for her everyday. She is responsible, loving, and truly cares for the development of the child. Her positive attitude and joyous energy are infectious. I can’t tell you what a relief it was to have found her. We had to move and were so sad to say goodbye to her, but I’m so thankful for the time we had with her, and will keep in touch for life. She was like a second mommy to our baby, and our daughter loves her so much. It’s amazing to see their connection and feel confident leaving your child in good hands. She’s a gem!!!

She is smart and insightful - seeming to know exactly what everyone needs and always trying to make sure she provides it. I recommend Ilene wholeheartedly.

She is extremely patient and has taught my daughters manors and how to interact with adults and other children. This life skill has been tremendous and something they will carry throughout life. She cooks for the girls, cleans their room and keeps the common spaces tidy. She is always willing to help and go the extra mile and encourages date night :) She provides a sense of sanity for myself and husband who are full time working parents. Yvonne would be a wonderful addition to someones family caring for 1 or 2 children. She will always be a part of our family and we are extremely sad to see her go.

We have been very lucky to have found Sherlane. Unfortunately we are moving overseas and we are so sad to leave her. She is calm, caring, nurturing and loves playing with kids. My daughter feels it and can't wait for Sherlane to come home and go play with her, go out and have fun together. She helps my daughter discover and learn new things which my daughter loves. Sherlane is punctual, organized and proactive (she doesn’t need to be told what to do), she is very respectful with my approach to my kids education and works with me towards it. My daughter is 3 and a half and a have a second daughter who is 9 months. Sherlane is really amazing with babies too, very knowledgeable and handles both very very well. She has a very calm personality which I feel is really important to deal with kids, as they sense your energy. Something I admire is she doesn't use confrontation to discipline, she goes around and finds the way to have my daughter collaboration without having drama. She helps me to keep the house tidy, cooks everyday the 3 meals (she is a good cook!) and cleans after the kids, most importantly helps to teach my daughter the tiding up routine, and she does it in a way that my daughter is happy to help. Sherlane took my daughter to any activities or classes and she even participated in them, which was so much together. She arranged playdates with other kids for my daughter to play with or were arranged by me, as I knew the mums. She is flexible and I always felt her as part of the team, as a working mum I'm so grateful for that. If you would like to hear more about Sherlane, feel free to contact me for any more details.

Parent Reference

We have been so fortunate to have found Linda through recommendations from this site. As new parents who were lucky to have family members help out in our son’s first year, it was incredibly difficult for us to come to terms with the idea of leaving our son with a non-family member. But that all changed when we met Linda – on top of the high praises that came from her pervious families, Linda assured us in our first meeting with her composure, modesty and warmth that really separated her from other candidates we interviewed. Since joining our family, Linda has been incredibly caring, disciplined and punctual in every way we expected. Her experience and calm demeanor really shows when she’s with our son, who came to love Linda and will definitely miss not having her around. With wealth of experience looking after children of all ages (Linda has ~20 years of experience with three families), she always knows what to do in various situations and is well versed in developmental milestones. With her outgoing personality, she also quickly became good friends with everyone in the neighborhood including our condo building staff, other parents and nannies and kept us connected to the community in a way that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Most importantly, her caring and warm personality meant that she quickly bonded with our son and it only took a few days before he stopped crying and started waving goodbye at us with smile when we left for work in the morning. Unfortunately, our family needs to relocate to the West Coast unexpectedly for a new job opportunity and need to find a new family for Linda. While Linda was with us only for about a year, she quickly became part of our family and it’s incredibly difficult for us to part ways with her, so we are hoping we can find another great family that could have Linda’s help. Please reach out to Linda if interested, and I would be happy to serve as a reference.

She takes an active interest in our daughters growth and development. When she was a baby she would walk around with her singing to her and doing everything to make her comfortable and smile. In all the time she\\'s been with us she has missed one day, and felt absolutely terrible about that. She has worked with us and our crazy work schedules able to stay late or come early or weekends with little notice - never a single complaint.

I am writing on behalf of Shakiera Roseman. Let me assure you that you would be hard-pressed to find a better care-giver as an addition to your family. In the two years I’ve known Shakiera, she has truly become a part of our home. She began watching our children when I had surgery and needed assistance with my 3 children: Iyla (4), Sam (2), and Adam (6 months). Of Shakiera’s strengths—and there are many—her greatest is her flexibility. She can just as easily entertain Iyla as she can Adam. She devotes her full attention to each child and gives each what he or she individually needs. But don’t mistake her careful attentiveness as an inability to juggle tasks; I’ve seen her helping Iyla with her VPK homework while feeding Adam and cooking macaroni and cheese for Sam. She never quakes at a request and has even done handy-work around the house; such as hanging hooks and fixing toys. She takes initiative and completes tasks without repeated requests. Knowing I do not like sticky surfaces or bugs she would wipe Adam’s bouncer each night and pick out all the baby puffs. While I could speak volumes about Shakiera from both a personal and professional level, I’ll let my kids do the talking instead. At their requests, she has been invited to their birthday parties without fail. She even DJ’ed Sam’s most recent Superhero Party. Shakiera happily attends many family events and is able to easily integrate with our guests. The kids talk about her as they would a treasured family member, and that’s precisely what she is. I understand that the demands of a caregiver call for an individual that goes above and beyond. I am confident that Shakiera is more than ready for the challenge. She conducts herself professionally, respects confidentiality, and is able to connect with children of all ages. We are saddened to be losing Shakiera for she is irreplaceable! I sincerely hope that you are quick to give her a position, as her warmth, attentive care, and inviting personality will be sure to endear her to your household. Please do not hesitate to contact me by email if you’d like any additional information; I’d be happy to share!

We are looking to help our very special nanny of 5 years find a new family and full or part time live out position. Sharda has almost 20 years of experience, working with newborns through young adults. Sharda has cared for my son and daughter for the last 5 years and been impeccably reliable, honest, kind and helpful during this time. Our kids are now reaching middle school age and no longer requiring full time care so we are looking for her next long-term employment opportunity. Sharda has helped us from toddler stages with feeding and nap schedules to managing school drop off and pick up as well as taking the kids to classes and play dates. Sharda is a wonderful cook who prepares healthy home-made food for my children. She keeps our home neat and tidy and has helped us with the children’s laundry and keeping their rooms straight. She has been an amazing support to us as a working family, having the kids fed, bathed and in their pajamas when we arrive home from work so we can spend special time together before bed. Sharda is extremely vigilant about keeping our children safe which was a big priority for us. She is extremely present and never uses her phone when the children are around. Sharda is very maternal, having also raised 3 children of her own and understands the different care needs of both boys and girls. Sharda is very kind and warm but has also supported us in working on boundaries with our children, raising them to be respectful, polite and well behaved to the point that we are consistently complimented on their behavior in public. She also understands that kids like to have fun, so frequently plans trips to the park, library, or hosts playdates to engage them. Sharda has helped us with the additional reading support our son has required, as well as ensuring the children have worked on their homework each day. Sharda’s first language is English which has made communication seamless for our English speaking family. In her 19 years experience, Sharda has worked for three families concurrently in Manhattan which is a testament to how wonderful she is and how hard it is for us to let her go. Sharda is looking for a full or part time position and is open to occasional evening and weekend work if needed. She would ideally like to work in Manhattan or somewhere she can commute by public transport. We are very sad to see Sharda go, but excited for her to start her next chapter to bring love and joy to her next family for many years to come. While she will no longer be a full-time employee to us, she will forever remain part of our family.

As my husband and I work full-time, Neva was in charge of bringing my children to school and picking them up afterwards, cooking nutritious lunches and dinners, bathing them and getting them ready for bedtime. This she did seamlessly with great enthusiasm. She was always reliable and responsible no matter the weather. Neva took an avid interest in my sons and knew all of their friends. She would often take them to the park and the sprinklers and would supervise them as they played. She also coordinated play dates in the neighborhood with the other caregivers in order to enrich their social scheme. Neva was an active participant and would get down to floor level with both of my sons and engage them in activities. Her easy disposition and immense creativity showed in everything she did, and my children picked up on this daily. It is my honor to recommend Neva to start ASAP and I can say without a doubt that any family that works with her will be so fortunate. You can reach Neva at 646-500-9167.

My nanny, Jackie, has been with our family since the time that my children were 4 and 2, and has been the primary caregiver since my third child was born. Our children our grown now--sophomore in college, senior in high school and freshman in high school--and needless to say, she has become part of our family, with all children deeply attached especially the youngest. Jackie has kept our household together for 15 years, with an unsurpassed level of efficiency and reliability. She currently cooks for the children, does all the family laundry, cleans the apartment, keeps their schedules organized, shops for whatever is missing from the refrigerator, and performs any extra tasks or errands. When the kids were younger, she took care of them lovingly, covering all typical activities (bathing, feeding, scheduling, "fetching", etc.). Admittedly, this has made me attached as well, though we know at this stage, there are much more productive uses of her time. With the kids grown, she has essentially transitioned to managing our household. She would like to get back to caring for children. I have no hesitation recommending her for a position anywhere, selfishly hoping it is part-time, but knowing I can't hold her back from a full-time opportunity if one becomes available. We are happy if she is happy moving to another family. Please feel free to reach out at the number provided.

She quickly built a great rapport with my children (my boys met her when they were 3 and 5). I have seen her interact with them in a friendly, approachable manner, immediately tuning into their moods and handling challenging behaviors with ease. Lena has always been very punctual and responsible, as well as open to suggestions. She plays and reads to the kids and addresses all their practical needs; she is always in an optimistic mood, full of energy and open to adventure. It has been a joy to know her!

Our beloved Natalie has become family to us, coming into our home when our son was just four days old. She arrived with impeccable references and we immediately understood why. She is a natural caregiver with a big heart and our son has blossomed under her care over the last three and a half years. I credit his milestone achievements to Natalie. She has guided our family through every stage of childhood development to date, the latest one phasing him into a full school day; with a direct yet tactful touch. She is a self-starter who takes initiative with planning play dates and outings, always with a bend towards educating the child. My husband and I are A-types who have been blessed with the calm and good humor Natalie has brought into our house every single day she arrives. On that note, she is professionally punctual and always there. She loves children and it shows in everything she says and does. There are only very positive statements to be made about her; a few more adjectives I’d use to describe her are: Outgoing, people person Patient Warm Kind Generous Mature Reliable Observant Fun We’re honored to have her in our family and want to help her find another loving family to partner with, where she can continue to enhance the world one family at a time.

Our nanny Shakeira has been such a great asset to our family. We are so sad to no longer work with her. She is kind, resourceful and super attentive to our daughter. She came on initially through a nanny share with another family (which she is still open to do). One great example of how helpful she is, our daughter was 5 months old and had a reflux problem. After multiple doctors appointments we had no solution to this health issue. After one week, Shakeira she suggested we check with the doctor and try a new formula. This is one of many areas that she has shed light or gave us a wonderful advice. She has also helped with the development with rolling over, crawling and standing. Everyday she takes our daughter to the park, brings her to the library and socializes her. She has become such a great asset to our family and anyone would be so lucky to have her. Especially new parents like us. Her schooling is in pediatric nursing and she is CPR certified. I am happy to provide further information.

She is a true professional that is reliable, trustworthy and loving of our girls.We were new parents when we hired Mynette to work for us full time and she literally taught us how to be good parents, and nurtured our daughter into a social and smart toddler. Mynette has a unique balance of being a self-starter who takes charge, jumps in to get things done without needing a lot of direction, but is also extremely easy and accommodating in following our instructions and preferences. This was perfect for us as new parents who needed a caretaker who knew what to do, but could easily pivot and take direction as we developed our parenting style. Mynette has also proven to be resourceful on many occasions: whether it’s taking my daughter to see the doctor, attend music classes, or buying my daughter a new water bottle as she noticed she wasn’t drinking from her sippy cup. She organizes play dates with other toddlers in the neighborhood. She’s also great about informing me on things my daughter needed like new clothes, toys, items to aide in development, or snacks she liked. Some exceptional things that Mynette brings to the table: She has a deep understanding of children’s development and how to reach and exceed milestones She is exceptionally punctual and reliable Completely trustworthy and honest An exceptionally hardworking multitasker Gentle, patient and kind Our daughters love her and she loves them She is the best in the business with 10+ years of experience and I highly recommend Mynette.

Saira has worked with our family for the last seven years after our oldest daughter was born, followed by our son, now 4. She has consistently provided exceptional care that many friends have even noticed and pointed out to me over the years (unsolicited). In the newborn phase she was fantastic at helping us get our kids on a schedule and establishing a routine. She really has a gift with babies where many can easily get bored. She is excellent at keeping communication during the day whether it’s pictures with highlights or any updates or questions. She covers all the “extras” that any working family needs to keep the household running: meal planning and prep for the kids, handles children’s laundry, changes their beds and washes the sheets and towels, light erranding to fill-in groceries, you name it. Not to mention she put up with our very challenging dog and would often vacuum the floor/couch between visits from our housekeeper. She is meticulous about keeping clean and our children’s hygiene. My house was always spotless when I come home from work -- often cleaner than I left it. She could host a few friends for the afternoon and I would have no clue how they might have torn the place apart. She stays close to my kids in the park, shuttles them to after-school activities, arranges playdates and honestly helped us develop relationships with some of our children’s closest friends through her own friendships with other sitters in our community. She commands great respect from my children and is attentive to their needs. But most importantly, they have developed an incredible bond that will last a lifetime and we will be forever grateful. I hope you’ll reach out to her and please contact me if you have any questions I didn’t cover.

We’re hoping to find a new family for our wonderful nanny, LouAnn. Our 4-year-old daughter is now in school full time, so our childcare needs are changing. LouAnn has been with us since our daughter was 3 months old; she came to us after working for another family for five years. As first-time parents, we were lucky to be able to draw on LouAnn\\'s years of experience with children. She was a great source of support and guidance through all of the milestones and with my return from work. It\\'s hard to distill all of LouAnn\\'s qualifications in a few paragraphs, but here are a few thoughts: *She\\'s an excellent (and very willing) cook. Truth be told, for the last three years our daughter has eaten better than we do. LouAnn loves to cook for her, and she\\'s been making her homemade meals since she started solid food. (She\\'s also great at sneaking vegetables into things like pasta sauce and meatballs.) *She respects our parenting values, beliefs and routines. While LouAnn has good judgment and knew way more about kids than my husband and I did when we hired her, she has always been very respectful of the decisions we make for our child—from sleeping and eating routines to discipline. *She has a network of babysitter friends in both Brooklyn and Manhattan. She regularly arranges playdates for our daughter from the time she was a baby. She\\'s made some of his best friends through these playdates. *She\\'s fun, engaging, and ready to play. LouAnn has no problem getting down on the floor and playing. LouAnn can be reached on her cell at 347-785-6561. I would be happy to answer any and all questions about our family\\'s time with LouAnn. You can reach me (Katie) at 423-596-9498 or [email protected] Her former family is also more than happy to chat. She was with the Holgrems for five years - [email protected] Thanks!

She is kind and gentle and knows how to engage young children. She’s great about arranging playdates and bringing our children to afterschool events, classes even doctor’s appointments. Linda is happy to stick to any daytime routine and can do all of the evening care from bath to dinner and bed. She will gladly tend to household needs such as the child’s laundry, tidying up their room and kitchen. It’s been lovely coming home to a neat, orderly environment. Linda is a hard worker and can extend hours if needed. Linda is open to care options/locations but ideally, she would like to work full time for a family with a baby/young child. Prior to working with our families Linda worked in a daycare for 7 years, caring for babies and young children as well as school-aged students who came for afterschool homework help. Linda’s first language is English. All interested parties may can contact me as a reference.

I can’t say anything but wonderful things about her as a nanny. When the children were infants, she was great at teaching me how to start feeding them, bathing them, etc. As they grew, she was instrumental in teaching them their ABCs, playing educational games with them and singing them songs. She is also amazing at finding after school activities, setting up play dates and keeping the children 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.

Our fantastic nanny of nearly five years has immediate availability to help another lucky local family out a few mornings a week (Tues, Wed, Fri preferred, but we may be able to arrange four or even five mornings a week). Would be perfect for those with flexible schedules, someone who works at home, or someone with a young baby or children who wants a few mornings a week to tackle projects/workout/etc. Geeta has been a part of our days since my daughter was 8 months old and came to us with 25 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns. She happily takes direction from us but brings and isn’t afraid to lend her own perspective when asked. She’s been with us through so many transitions (adding a second baby, potty training x 2, transitions to solid food and to school, the list goes on) and she’s always been happy to take the kids wherever they need to go - classes, the park, play dates, and now school. She is patient, loving and kind, she is punctual, and she takes initiative to tackle things above and beyond her job description when she has time while my son naps. I can’t imagine having navigated these early years without her help and steady presence. You can contact Geeta directly or I am happy to speak in further detail about our experience or discuss how we might be able to arrange schedules to suit both families.

She had special relationships with our children and would engage them in activities that specifically interested each one of them (including sports, arts and crafts, etc.). She was responsible, punctual, dependable, and my kids loved her.

She has never missed a day because of weather, illness, etc. Debbie is very laid back and very easy to work with, and she is also great with our kids. She can often be found reading books and playing games of hide-and-seek, and my kids absolutely love and have so much fun with her. Debbie is also very safety minded and is the type of nanny who stands far away from the curb while waiting for the light to turn green. Debbie also happens to be a registered nurse (RN) and has been so helpful and knowledgeable when my children have been sick. She has previous experience caring for newborns, multiples, and children with special needs. An added bonus is that she is also very helpful around the house and takes out the trash, does our household laundry, and irons our clothes.

I am writing on behalf of the rest of the George family, to enthusiastically refer Elena in the position of nanny and caregiver. We have known Elena for over eleven years. Initially, her contact information was referred to me when she resumed her successful house cleaning business after raising her two sons. The references we received at that time were impeccable. In that capacity, my wife Laura and I found Elena to be extremely trustworthy, conscientious and hard working. As my wife was planning on returning to work after maternity leave, we asked Elena if she would be willing to take on responsibility for our son Henry as a part-time nanny. We knew after observing her with Henry during the first months after his birth (and in witnessing the results of the parenting of her own sons), that Elena was someone we would feel completely comfortable and secure with caring for Henry. Henry adores Elena and they have developed a special bond. Likewise, the relationship we developed with Elena has become one where she and her family, have truly become part of our family. Many friends and fellow parents who have met Elena and experienced her interaction with Henry and other children, have commented on how lucky we were to have her as Henry’s caregiver. She is a warm, engaging, and caring individual, who at the same time, was always very comfortable and adept at establishing appropriate boundaries for Henry. During the summer of 2015, with Henry scheduled to start pre-K 4 for full days that September, we assisted Elena in finding another family to benefit from her experience. And while Elena doesn’t work regularly for us now, we get together with her and her family for birthdays and holidays, and she occasionally sits for us. It is with the utmost confidence, that I heartily recommend Elena in the capacity as a nanny, not just because of her attentiveness and effectiveness in that role, but because she is an exceptional person. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to discuss this further.

Our nanny of seven years is available, as my kids are now in school full time. Debbie started with us as a baby nurse and seamlessly transitioned to a nanny role. She is 100% reliable and very flexible. She is always early and will happily work early, late, overnight, and on weekends if needed. She has never missed a day because of weather, illness, etc. Debbie is very laid back and very easy to work with, and she is also great with our kids. She can often be found reading books and playing games of hide-and-seek, and my kids absolutely love and have so much fun with her. Debbie is also very safety minded and is the type of nanny who stands far away from the curb while waiting for the light to turn green. Debbie also happens to be a registered nurse (RN) and has been so helpful and knowledgeable when my children have been sick. She has previous experience caring for newborns, multiples, and children with special needs. An added bonus is that she is also very helpful around the house and takes out the trash, does our household laundry, and irons our clothes. Debbie lives in Brooklyn, is legally authorized to work in the U.S., and can start immediately. Please reach out to her at 347-616-9304 if interested, and I would be happy to serve as a reference!

Parent Reference

Our family made the big move to the suburbs in 2018 and we would love to help our AMAZING nanny from our time in the city, Arlene, find a new family closer to where she lives in Brooklyn. Arlene is truly incredible! She is warm and loving and takes care of our babies as if they were her own. You won't find her sitting on a bench at the playground - she kept up with my VERY active 3 year old on daily outdoor adventures and engaged him in hours of imaginary play. When I had my youngest, Arlene was wonderful at balancing the two of them to make sure they are both loved and nurtured. Not only has she been a fantastic addition to my children's lives, she has been so helpful to my husband and I in navigating all the stages of early childhood. From infant sleep issues, to toddler tantrums, potty training, and discipline, Arlene has a deep wellspring of experience that lets her find the right solution for each child. She has definitely helped us become better parents - we have learned so much from her. On top of everything else, Arlene is incredibly hardworking and conscientious. She is always on time and rarely misses a day of work. She kept my toddler's toys tidied up and somehow stayed on top of the both kids' laundry (neither of those is easy!). She makes delicious, healthy lunches, and is great at finding ways to sneak in more veggies.

Parent Reference

If you know anyone in Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens looking for a full-time nanny, our previous nanny of 6.5 years will be looking for a new family. Having to go back to work relatively quickly, Afyia put me at ease with her calm and quiet demeanor and was patient with a colicky infant. She helped raise our two daughters from the time they were born until entering kindergarten and supported them through their physical and cognitive milestones. She was responsible for all things related to our kids' daily life, whether it was doing their laundry, hosting playdates, bringing them to music class or picking them up from school. Afyia had them bathed, fed and ready for bed each night by the time my husband or I came home from our demanding jobs. She arrived at our house on time each day and also covered the occasional date night. Before working for us, she worked with a few other families, a mix of infants, toddlers and multiples. I would highly recommend her as she was an integral part of our kids’ lives and became a part of our family during the time she was with us.

Parent Reference

Ann-Marie cared for our son with great joy, warmth, and kindness from 6 months until he turned 3 and started Nursery School. He loved her, and we miss her! Ann-Marie was delightful to work with. I was particularly grateful that she was always actively involved with him -- she didn't rely on screens to pass the time. (Indeed, I don't think she ever even learned how to turn on our TV! She might use her phone for a video on a rainy day -- but that was always a rarity.) When he was a baby, I'd come home and frequently find her singing to him, or playing alongside him in his bouncer. She'd sing and tell him stories -- and he is all the more verbal today because of it. As he grew, Ann-Marie was instrumental in some of the simplest, most 'old-fashioned' ways. She taught him "please" and "thank you." She helped him learn his letters. She gave him lots of time out in the park, or at the library, to discover and play. And they kept talking and talking and talking -- which I loved. As our son got bigger, I'd come home, open the door, and hear the laughter down the hall, as they played hide-and-seek, or put together puzzles. It was a wonderful thing, each and every day, to come home to a happy kid. Ann-Marie is delightful. Any family would be lucky to work with her. She's hoping to find a full-time position. She'd prefer to start out with a baby and grow from there. She'd also prefer to work with one child at a time.

Deki has worked with our family for the past 5 years, beginning with our daughter when she was 5 months old and now also with our 3 year old son. Deki has been so dependable and responsible, watching our 2 kids (5 and 3 years old) on a full time basis as my husband and I both have stressful and unpredictable jobs. She is very understanding and has been willing to stay late even last minute. Deki is an incredibly patient (able to handle our strong-willed daughter!), warm, and loving person. She has been amazing, helping us with the newborn phases and now through the limit-testing toddler phase, with an incredibly calm approach and never losing her cool. Deki is rarely on her phone and is very present with the kids, often playing puzzles, doing art projects or helping them with the alphabet. She is also very good about taking the kids outside to the playground, whenever the weather permits, or on playdates. She is very tidy, helping to keep the house neat in addition to cooking the kids’ meals. She also helps with grocery shopping and other errands. We are moving to California and are so sad to leave her, but we know that she will be a great addition to a new family. Please feel free to directly contact Deki at 929-224-6933. Please feel free to also contact me if you’d like to hear more about Deki.

Our nanny Tita is one of a kind but sadly we have to say goodbye to her because we’re leaving the city. She’s been with us for just under a year and I seriously can’t imagine a better nanny for our son Noah. She started taking care of him when he was just 4 months and from the get go she has been a loving, warm addition to our family. Professionally, she is 100% committed to Noah and takes her role very seriously. Personally, she’s extremely sweet and down to earth. She fills our apartment with so much positive energy that our son’s face lights up each morning when she arrives. For the entire 8 hours she’s with him every day, she gives him her complete and total undivided attention. She’s constantly reading to him, practicing language skills, setting up play dates and finding the best baby classes in the area for his development. Even when he’s napping, she’s busy planning activities, classes and games for him! She’s so focused on caring for him that I‘ve never even seen her check her phone once while taking care of him. Sadly our new home will be too far for her to commute so we really want to do our best to help her get settled with an amazing family! Tita has over 12 years experience caring for babies, infants and young children. She’s a gem and her start date is flexible. Please email me if you need any more info. [email protected]

Savi is truly a gift. She was my daughter’s caregiver from age 2.5 through 13 and still has a relationship with my daughter (and our entire family). Her sole focus while at work was on my daughter and she shared my values of respect, love, caring and integrity. She is trustworthy, warm and loving and I cannot tell you the number of times parents, teachers & staff at my daughter’s school raved about her. She truly is a gem.

Meera is a fantastic nanny who has gotten our family through some of the hardest times we've seen. She's been with our family for 3 years and, in that time, took care of 4 little ones under the age of 5 through every stage. She's loving, reliable and supportive. She has built an amazing relationship with each of my kids. We were sad to part ways due to a change in family situation, but are looking to help her find a new family. Meera worked a lot of hours for us given that my husband and I live in Long Island and work in Manhattan/NJ. She would arrive before 7am and stay late, but always made sure to keep the kids occupied, cook for the kids, do light cleaning, maintain the house, etc. She would often cook for us as well (btw - amaaaaaaazing cook). Please do reach out if interested. She would love to find another full time job in Long Island.

Our wonderful nanny Merline is looking for a full-time (35 hours or more) job in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan starting in September. My kids adore her, and we are heartbroken to see her go, but my youngest will now be in school, and we can't give Merline the hours she needs. She has worked with us for almost 4 years, since my daughter was an infant. She was amazing with the baby and a huge help in getting her to nap, take a bottle, eat solids, etc. My daughter is now almost 4 years old, and they are very attached to one another. Merline has been equally great with my son, who is now 6 1/2. She plans age-appropriate activities for them, arranges play dates, cooks dinner, cleans up, takes them and picks them up from school and activities, and has even done a couple of overnights for us. She is nurturing, warm, and a lovely, sensitive person. I don't think she has ever been late or missed a day of work, except maybe one time when she was sick. She is the most reliable person I've ever had take care of our kids, and has always been available for us. Please contact her directly at 917-771-2564 (text is fine), and call or email me if you'd like to speak.

After sixteen years it’s time for our beloved nanny, Betty, to move on to another lucky family. She came to us when my older son was one year old and has cared for our younger son since birth. Betty is loving, energetic, trustworthy and reliable. Never late and very rarely sick, Betty is also very flexible, almost always available to come early, stay late, or work weekends. When they were younger, Betty kept my boys on a regular schedule -- preparing healthy meals, giving them their baths and getting them ready for bed each day. (Working parents will especially appreciate coming home to pajama-clad children ready for stories, an empty kitchen sink, and toys stowed away!) Betty always took charge of setting up playdates, going to music classes, etc. She has also vacationed with us and stayed with the boys over occasional weekends. Her ideal family would have a newborn and plan to keep her on long term. She would love to “grow up” with a new family. Betty is a US citizen, is CPR certified (recently renewed) and has a NY driver’s license. In a nutshell, Betty is a gem, and any family would be lucky to have her.
