Donna has over 20 years of experience as a nanny, taking care of infants up to young children, in Brooklyn and Manhattan. My family is SO lucky to have Donna taking care of our daughter! Donna is incredibly reliable, warm, level-headed and experienced. She loves to get outside and knows all the playgrounds, activities, and other nannies, so my daughter is very well socialized. Donna takes our daughter to all the best local activities and arranges playdates with other little kids. In addition, Donna takes our daughter on adventures all over the city. It’s rare to find a nanny who wants to go the extra mile to explore beyond the neighborhood. Donna is very loving, easy to talk to, and sends us lots of pictures and videos every day. Donna has been instrumental in our daughter’s growth. She potty-trained our daughter so well during the day that we didn’t have to do much at all at home to complete the process. You will never worry with Donna taking care of your child - she’s incredibly capable, honest, and kind. I met Donna in September 2021 through my nanny at the time who became ill in September 2023. At that time, Donna had been working for another family for three years, taking care of their son. Donna often filled in for our nanny when she was sick or out of town. My daughter adored Donna! Donna then watched both children in a temporary share until the other family moved out of state in August 2024. Donna has been our full-time nanny ever since. My daughter is now almost four. The only reason why Donna will be available in September is because our daughter is starting pre-K. We’re really going to miss her and want to make sure she lands with a wonderful new family. Please text or email me for any other context or questions and I’m happy to share! In the words of my daughter's Easter card for her, "I love Donna!" *Name: Donna Butler *Dates Worked: Sept 2021 - Aug 2023: Occasional, Sept 2023 - Present: Full time *Work Details: Full time *Responsibilities: Primarily child care, dresses her, prepares her lunch and snacks *Availability: Starting September 2025 *Phone: (646) 821-0831

Hello! We have an amazing nanny to recommend, Pasang. We have trialed many nannys until we finally found her. She was instantly warm and affectionate with both of our kids and our older one who was 3 at the time gravitated towards her immediately. She helps with household chores when the kids are napping or in school like doing the kids’ laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and tidying their rooms/ playroom. Pasang helps with bath and meal times and is proactive on taking the kids on play dates. She is a great communicator and sends us videos and pictures when the kids are out. She is willing to travel with families over the summer and always comes to work on time. Pasang has never called out sick and is always willing to stay late for date nights or work emergencies. We truly can’t recommend her enough and would love to see her go to an amazing family that she can grow with.

Parent Reference

We are looking to find our loving and nurturing nanny, Margarita a new family. Margarita has worked for our family since October 2017 when our youngest was only 3 months old, helping raise our two daughters now 7.5 and 5 years old. Margarita is loyal, very reliable, honest, loving and hardworking and will be a wonderful caregiver for any young family. During her time with us, Margarita maintained hours of 7am to 5 pm, working an average of 50 hours per week and overtime as needed, and occasionally overnight. Margarita primarily cared for our two daughters, at times, assisted with caring for our dog. Spanish is Margarita's primary language, but she understands English well, and she has taught both of our daughters to communicate almost fluently in Spanish. Margarita’s responsibilities included caring for our two daughters since they were infants, including establishing a nap and feeding schedule, reading and playing, bath and bedtime routine, going to playgroups/classes and other outings. As our children have grown, Margarita has been responsible for doing school drop off/pickups, taking to after school activities and playdates, and caring for our children when they are sick. She also assisted with arranging several playdates and found both of our girl’s lifelong friends, even during COVID. Margarita also performs light housework including laundry, cleaning, tidying toys, making beds and washing dishes and as our needs have changed, she is our primary housekeeper as well. She also assists with meal preparation, light cooking and grocery shopping/errands and walking our dog. Margarita has been very flexible, accommodating our demanding work schedules to assist when we are traveling or running late. She often will arrive early, stay late, work evening hours as needed, or weekends. We have left our children in her care overnight including while traveling on an 8-day trip to Europe! Margarita communicates effectively any changes in her schedule or if she is running late (which almost never happens, she is always on time or early). For the past 7 years, we have considered Margarita as a part of our family and have been so grateful for all that she has done to support us and facilitate our children's growth and development. I considered her the mother that I needed during my postpartum phase, and she supported me and cared for me and my husband like her own children. We are saddened to part ways; however, we have decided to relocate our family out of state and will be moving at the end of July. Margarita will be looking for full time work starting in August.

Parent Reference

This is without doubt one of the easiest recommendations for me to make, and I do so with both pleasure and gratitude. Patricia Vallejo served as a nanny for our three children from birth through their early teen years. Thanks to her super powers of time management and eye for detail (in both home and humans), I was able to enjoy my children and know that if not with me, they were safely in the best of hands. During those early years, I was often on my own in the evenings due to having a husband who usually worked very late. When Paty left for the day, the kids were ready for the evening, a delicious dinner was on the table so I was able to sit down with them, read to them after and tuck them into bed in a timely manner. And when I attended early childhood classes with one of our kids, inevitably instructors made a point of pulling me aside to tell me that our outstanding nanny fully engages with our kids, guiding them through the class instead of using the time as a personal break. At home, the kids were never left in front of a screen to pass the time or be pacified. Instead, she consistently engaged them in activities to enhance their development. While these elements are important, above all, I know that Paty knew and loved our kids. She would often alert me to a shift taking place or a need they might have. Through her watchful eyes, I had a strong sense of what was going in their surroundings. Key point, when bringing up kids in a big city, security is paramount. It takes a big leap of faith to put the most precious and most vulnerable people in our lives, our children, into the hands of a non-family member, knowing they are out and about on a daily basis. But communication was always clear between us. I knew that the kids would be dressed appropriately for weather conditions, watched over with care as Paty’s first priority and protected by her ability to act wisely and decisively in case of any emergency. I’m also quite certain that in a potentially hazardous situation, anyone meaning harm would have to quickly reconsider. I know that Paty likes to work with infants starting at three months, and, important to note, she is very allergic to cats (apologies to cat lovers)! Caveats aside, if what I’ve said here is not adequate in helping you find a truly superb nanny for your children and family life, I am available to answer any further questions. Wishing you the joy and support we had in having Paty as our nanny during the crucial years of raising our young children - who still adore her.

I feel like I won the lottery when I hired Gloria to take care of my son - she is that good. Both my husband and I had full time jobs, and my son was just 5 weeks old. As a first-time mother, I was overwhelmed but Gloria took extremely good care of my baby and brought calmness and stability to our home. 2 years later we had twin boys and 5 years after that another baby boy. Gloria stayed and took care of our four boys for almost 16 years. She is caring, intelligent, honest, and clean. She cooks, washes, and would never let the kids leave the house wearing clothing which was not ironed. As they grew up, she arranged their play dates, read to them, and sang to them constantly. She is very flexible and loves to travel with us when asked. My kids love her for they know she loves them and will do anything for them. Any family would be lucky to have her, as children listen to her and she never has to raise her voice. I have no doubt that Gloria has always had a special gift when it comes to taking care of newborns and she has great references from other professional families.

Hanifah is extremely dependable, responsible and can be counted on to do what she says she will do. She is very open, calm and caring. She was referred to us by a previous sitter and my 9 year old son took to her right away. She is a good listener and very focused on my son when she is with him. She is very good at supporting the rules of the house and has fun too! After graduating from Howard University in 2023 with her Masters in Social Work, she started working with kids professionally in 2021 as a babysitter, babysitting children ages 3 and 5. In 2023 she worked with adolescent and young teens at a residential facility, mentoring, assisting with housing, and providing mental health group therapy. In 2024 she became a lead teacher, teaching children ages 2-5. Hanifah is looking for something full time with more hours than we can offer her. Her master’s degree in social work comes through with her interactions with my son and her experience is also very obvious.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Gina as our nanny, and it’s hard to put into words just how rare of a find she is. Gina has been a constant source of support, care, and positivity in our home. She is a dedicated caregiver to our son (2.5 years) and now daughter (1 month). The only reason she is available is because we are moving out of the city. Gina has played a major role in our son’s early development, particularly in language and communication. Our pediatrician had commented our 2 year old speaks at the level of a 3+ year old, and we credit a lot of that to Gina. Her own daughter was the valedictorian of her high school, so she knows what she is doing! She has a natural gift for engaging with children in a way that is both fun and educational. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, we’ve seen tremendous growth in our son’s vocabulary and conversational skills. Gina also brings a great energy to daily activities, always coming up with fun and enriching games, crafts, and outings that keep our son happily engaged. She is eager to take him to all classes including gymnastics, arts and crafts, soccer, family dance, and more. I have watched her interact during these classes and she is often the most engaged nanny there - participating along the way and helping Hudson do his best (and listen)! On top of that, she’s been instrumental in helping with potty training and reinforcing good manners in a gentle and effective way. Her calm, consistent, and encouraging style has made all the difference. Gina is extremely reliable, punctual, and communicative. We’ve always felt 100% in the loop and at ease knowing our son is in her care. She leaves daily notes for us communicating what the day was like as well which is helpful when my husband and I come home from work late. She also is incredibly honest. One week, we overpaid her by mistake, and she called us to let us know she’d be bringing the balance back the following week because we had made an error. Safety is also the most important thing to Gina. I have always felt extremely comfortable knowing my kids would never be put in a compromised position or in danger. She is never on her phone (unless it is to take a photo or video which she shares with us) and is always within an arms lengths reach, never taking an eye off them, which in the city is very comforting to know. But perhaps the best endorsement of all is how much our son absolutely adores her—every morning when she arrives, he runs to the door to greet her with a huge hug and a “GOOD-MORNING GINA!”. Any family would be truly lucky to have her—she is a gem, and we cannot recommend her enough! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have.

We’re sadly parting ways with our wonderful nanny as our family has moved to the suburbs and she doesn’t drive.

She has cared for our three children (now 7, 4, and 16 months) with incredible patience, love, and consistency. She’s amazing with children of all ages—from infants to school-aged kids—and is that rare mix of calm, playful, nurturing, and reliable. She handles the kids’ laundry, prepares lunch and dinner, and keeps their spaces neat and organized. She takes initiative around the home and is always willing to help wherever needed. Before joining our family, she spent 8 years working with a family on the Upper East Side, building deep experience and trust in long-term care. Our kids absolutely adore her, and it’s hard to overstate the peace of mind she’s given us. We’d love to see her matched with a new family who will appreciate her as much as we do.

I am pleased to offer a reference for my current professional nanny Mel with over 24 years of hands-on experience caring for children ranging in age from as young as six weeks old through the early teen years. As a mother to adult children of her own, she understands deeply the trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care—and she honors that responsibility with her full commitment, heart, and professionalism. Throughout her career, she has nurtured children in every stage of development, creating loving, structured environments that promote emotional well-being, independence, and growth. She takes pride in not only providing attentive, compassionate care, but also being a positive influence and an active educator in their daily lives. Mel was with us for a few years and during that time was an exceptional caregiver and a great addition to our family. She has extensive experience and knowledge working with various age group and assisted us during major transitions and milestones such as introducing solids, potty training, sleep regression and the famous stages of grumpy two's. In every role, she assumed full responsibility for the children in her care. This included prepping and preparing their meals with attention to any dietary needs. Managing and doing their laundry. Organizing their schedules, activities, and transportation. Light housekeeping to maintain a clean, safe environment… sometimes even cooking for the entire family and washing clothes that have piled. Supporting learning through play, reading, and age-appropriate educational activities. Mo enters our home every morning with a bright energy and kindness but also bringing a calm presence and a genuine love, being a supportive extension of us When first speaking with the past families she worked with, they would describe her as dependable, nurturing, proactive, and grounded and I can attest to all of it. If you are looking for an experienced and deeply loving nanny who takes initiative and offers long-term consistency and support, then you’re looking for MO and I’d be happy to connect you!

I am posting on behalf of our wonderful nanny Sheila who is looking for her next full time job! Sheila has been helping care for our children for 3.5 years. Before us, she worked for two other Stuyvesant Town families for 10 years. She started with us when my older child was 6 months old and then seamlessly transitioned to caring for our baby when he was born in February 2024. Since I’m currently on break from being a lawyer, and our older child is in preschool, we no longer need a full time nanny. Sheila is responsible, trustworthy, loving, and active. She has decades of experience caring for children of all ages and is especially skilled with babies. She takes our children to classes/preschool at the 14th St Y, local libraries, music classes, and countless play dates at all the local playgrounds. She also cooks delicious and nutritious meals for our kids and handles their laundry. She is extremely attentive and engaged and people often mention to me what a great caregiver she is. She does not spend time on her phone when she’s with the kids and she has never been late. Sheila has been an integral part of our children’s lives for the past 3 years. She helped establish their schedules, created meal time routines, assisted with potty training, and facilitated socialization with other kids. She was extraordinarily helpful every step of the way. After Sheila started caring for our older child and I went back to a demanding full time job, I always felt at ease knowing he was with her. My husband and I have always felt comfortable with leaving our kids in her care. Sheila will be with our family through the end of August but we are flexible with her end date if she finds a new family sooner! She would love to grow with a new baby and she enjoys working in the Stuy Town community, but is willing to travel to other neighborhoods. She’s happy to work around pets. Please message me if you’d like to discuss Sheila further or connect with her!

In addition to caring for our children (now ages 2 and 5), Nicole helps with their laundry, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, and preparing meals for the children. She is a good communicator, flexible with tasks, and was willing to do the needful. Nicole taught our kids independence and routines, and delighted in facilitating playdates. She is comfortable with a wide range of ages from infant through elementary. She kept our youngest safe from injury despite his adventurous climber tendencies, and helped teach our older child to read and write. Friends who observed Nicole with our children at the park frequently commented on how great she is with the kids. She would be a valuable addition to any household. In our chaotic household with two young children and two working parents, I go to bed at night thinking "Thank God for Nicole..". She is a tremendous source of stability, support, fun, and love for our whole family. We will miss her dearly.

I am delighted to recommend our weekend/part-time nanny, who cares for our 20-month-old son. She has been truly a gift to our family. Our son struggles with separation anxiety, which made it difficult to find someone he feels safe and comfortable with. From the very beginning, Twyla approached the situation with patience, empathy, and deep understanding. She took the time to build trust with him at his pace—offering gentle reassurance, consistent routines, and a calm, nurturing presence that helped him feel secure and cared for in our absence. She has a natural way with young children, blending playfulness with attentiveness, always ensuring our son’s emotional and physical needs are met. Whether she’s reading with him, engaging him in sensory play, or simply sitting with him quietly during a tough moment, she brings warmth and intentionality to every interaction. We are so lucky to have her as a respite in our busy schedule. On top of her outstanding care, Twyla is reliable, professional, and communicative. She is looking for a full-time position and I wholeheartedly recommend her. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Norissa was with us for a few years and during that time was an exceptional caregiver and a great addition to our family. With her experience and knowledge working with various age groups, she assisted us during major transitions and milestones such as ( introducing solids, potty training, sleep regression and the mandatory grumpy two’s) . She was great with the kids, cared for them, played with them, took them to activities and worked alongside us to help create routines. I always felt confident leaving them in her care. She independently fostered a learning environment for our kids that was consistent and progressed as they got older. From teaching numbers, colors and shapes. Creating arts & crafts projects to sorting shapes and sight words as they got older. We've had a great relationship while she was with us. She was always reliable, punctual , resourceful and receptive. Always working with us to find as many solutions as possible. She’s a professional. She’s well versed on the nuances that this job entails and navigates them well. I can list numerous examples of how she's been a gem to our family but the space wouldn't be enough. I would rather highlight her knowledge of children development, her years of experience, her loving disposition towards her work. She quite simply loves and enjoys what she does and it’s reflected in her work. Her contributions towards our family has been wonderful and I believe she'll make a valuable addition to any family.

Paulette is an amazing nanny! She has taken care of our two girls, ages 12 and 9, since they were 3 and newborn, and has had a wonderful, close relationship with them at every age. She has seamlessly adjusted her interactions with them as they have gotten older, so that she was not just a nanny but also a companion that they felt they could relate to at every step. When our kids were little, Paulette was great at getting on the floor to play with them. As they got older and faced social challenges at school, she became a valuable thought partner for us about how to guide them through those challenges. She is incredibly smart, responsible, reliable, and organized – she knows our kids’ school and after-school schedules better than we do. She keeps the apartment clean without even being asked to do it. She has brought so much to our family and to our kids’ lives – she really has taken care of all of us for almost a decade. Now that the kids are older and no longer need a full-time nanny, we want to do everything we can to pay Paulette back by finding a great new family for her to be a part of.

There will be no need to look any further than our Rosa. Seven years ago, when beginning the daunting task of finding a caretaker for our then 1 year old son, I invited Rosa over to see how he would react to her. My son immediately was attracted to her warmth and kindness. Our then 1 year-old is now 8 and we also have a 4 year-old. Rosa cares for our boys as her own. She showers them with love and affection. Our eldest calls Rosa his second mom and they never let her leave without a goodbye hug. Rosa quickly became an integral part of our parenting team and as a result we seamlessly take over when we come home after work. We have never worried when Rosa is with our children. She plans our kid's activities when they are not in school, including scheduling play dates. In fact, our sons have developed several friendships through Rosa's network. Rosa primarily speaks and reads to our children in Spanish. As a result both of our boys are bilingual. Rosa is extremely reliable - we have very challenging work schedules and she is always ready to adjust whenever possible. She is always eager to help in any way she can. We are excited for the next family who she will join!

I am eager to help her find a family who will benefit as much as we have from her outstanding care. Sisa speaks Spanish fluently, which has been a wonderful advantage for our family. She connects deeply with our children and handles everything—from picking them up at school to managing their daily routines—with great care and affection, making her feel like part of the family. What sets Sisa apart is her industrious nature and creativity. She goes beyond caregiving, enriching their lives with museum visits, park playdates, and activities that stimulate their development. She ensures that my children are not only well cared for but also engaged and inspired. Sisa is both incredibly caring and kind and treats my children as her own. They adore her, and she has become a beloved figure in our home. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of our move. I confidently recommend Sisa to any family looking for a full-time nanny. She combines skills, experience, and genuine love for her work. I’m sure she will be a tremendous asset to any family fortunate enough to have her.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Nadia, who cared for our two children over the last several years. She began caring for our son when he was just six months old and quickly became one of the most loving, thoughtful, and dependable presences in his life and in ours. As he grew, Nadia also took on afternoon care for our daughter after nursery school, always managing both children with grace, warmth, and ease. Nadia brings a calm and intuitive energy to everything she does. She has a remarkable ability to handle theunexpected and was a true lifesaver during a major family celebration we traveled for. Day to day, she filled our home with joy and creativity, reading books, doing crafts, encouraging imaginative play, and ensuring the kids spent their time engaged and connected rather than in front of screens. She was always respectful of our parenting preferences and found countless quiet ways to support our household so that it ran more smoothly. The only reason we are parting ways is that both of our children are now entering full-time school. Saying goodbye to Nadia feels like saying goodbye to a member of our family. I know, however, that she will be an incredible gift to the next family lucky enough to have her. She is smart, nurturing, dependable, and has a rare gift for making children feel safe, loved, and free to be themselves. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.

We’re heartbroken to be writing this, but our beloved nanny of four years is looking for a new long-term family to join as our kids head off to school full time this fall. She is everything you hope for in a nanny: incredibly warm, bubbly, nurturing, and dependable. She has been with us through it all—helping raise our kids with love, laughter, and unwavering care. She’s the one teachers, other parents, and even strangers at the playground stop to compliment. She has truly become part of our family, and I can't overstate how much we trust and adore her. She does it all—playdates, meal prep, kids laundry, sick days, school pick ups—you name it. She brings joy and calm to our daily chaos and is an expert. She’s ideally looking for a child aged 9 months or older and is flexible on location in Manhattan or Brooklyn. She’s open to part-time morning hours (I’m happy to keep her in the afternoons!) or a full-time role with a new family. She has been a caregiver for more than 14 years plus raised her own two children. If you’re looking for a nanny who will become your lifeline, please reach out to her directly. You won’t find someone more loving or wonderful. Her start date is flexible mid-July - September.

Davi has been with our family for over 13 years, since our oldest son was born. She’s been an integral part of raising our 4 children (13, 11, 8, and 3 years old) as both parents worked full time. She cares for and loves my children as though they are her own. Davi is particularly wonderful with infants and toddlers. She cared for all four of our babies – made homemade food, put everyone on a solid nap and sleep schedule, and took care of bath/bedtime when we were still at work. When I travel for work, she is always a calming, nurturing presence for our children. Once school age, Davi managed the transition to nursery school and handled the day-to-day rapport with other parents, nannies and teachers. In addition to caring for the children, she did all of the laundry, kept the kitchen and common areas tidy. With direction, she can cook delicious dishes for our children, maintaining flexibility to account for dietary preferences that differ from a toddler to a teenager. When necessary, Davi is able to take children to doctor’s appointments or haircuts, thus saving us time on weekends. All of my children have been integrated into her family and have had sleepovers at her house (at the children’s request) on the weekends. She does extensive travel with our family, including getting stuck places for several extra days. She was always flexible with the circumstances. If we gave advance notice, Davi was willing to stay overnight with the children which was always a huge help. During the summer, outside of the city, Davi is able to drive our children to day camp. When Davi started with our family, she had a flip phone. She’s not focused on her phone or messing with it all day long. That said, it is heartwarming to receive a photo from her from an afterschool class or the park with smiling faces on our children. She is playing and caring for the children because my children always came first. This will be a very sad day for our family but know that she will continue to be part of our family.

I am so happy to recommend our weekend/part-time nanny, who cares for our 20-month-old son. She has been truly a gift to our family. Our son struggles with separation anxiety, which makes it difficult to find someone he feels safe and comfortable with. From the very beginning, Twyla approached the situation with patience, empathy, and deep understanding. She took the time to build trust with him at his pace—offering gentle reassurance, consistent routines, and a calm, nurturing presence that helped him feel secure and cared for in our absence. She has a natural way with young children, blending playfulness with attentiveness, always ensuring our son’s emotional and physical needs are met. Whether she’s reading with him, engaging him in sensory play, or simply sitting with him quietly during a tough moment, she brings warmth and intentionality to every interaction. We are so lucky to have her as a respite in our busy schedule. On top of her outstanding care, Twyla is reliable, on-time, and professional, and communicative.

I’m writing to highly recommend our nanny Hazel for a part-time position with a new family. She has been a wonderful presence in our home and has cared for our two year old son with kindness, dedication, and so much love. Hazel joined our family when our son was three months old. As a first-time mom, I was very nervous about transitioning back to work and could not have done it without Hazel. From day one she has been attentive, collaborative, and deeply caring. Hazel treats our son as her own and her utmost concern is for our son's safety at all times. Hazel has greatly excelled at engaging our son in developmentally appropriate play, music, and reading. Our son absolutely adores Hazel! She is a source of light, humor and joy as she cares for our son. Hazel has gone above and beyond to form connections with nannies in our building and neighborhood to create opportunities for daily playdates. She has been very helpful with finding sources of entertainment and education in our neighborhood. Additionally, Hazel aided with cooking and light housekeeping. Lastly, I need to highlight Hazel's flexibility and her ability to work around our changing schedules. She has been a great help to us not only during the week, but also, on weekends and during family trips. Hazel's direct and open communication style aided our ability to all focus on our son's wellbeing as the top priority. We are so thankful to have had Hazel as part of our family and she will be dearly missed by us all. I’m more than happy to answer any questions or share more about our experience with Hazel!

We are looking for a new home for our amazing nanny, Ana. Sadly both of our kids are in school and we only need part time help. She's been with our family since our first was 3 months old and now both kids are 6 and 4. She is truly apart of our family and always will be. My kids have such a special bond with her and as you can imagine, are really feeling the loss. For both kids she: - Took them to their activities - Lots of park time -Scheduled playdates -Homework help - Her responsibilities aside from the kids changed over the years, but she was always flexible to help where the house needed it. She'll cook kids meals, clean, laundry etc.. Our son has special needs and she was there with me every step of the way. She could have left to find something "easier", but she cared about his wellbeing as much as I did. There are no words to describe how she impacted our lives.

Our amazing nanny Anne is available for a full time position starting in June or anytime after (if it's a great fit with a certain family she is open to waiting until the fall to start as well). She has 12 years of experience working as a nanny, speaks fluent English, is a phenomenal cook and is excellent at setting up playdates! She really is the best and has become part of our family. Ideally, she would like to work with a family who has a baby 1 years old and under as she specializes in taking care of babies. She would also like to start 8 AM or after but is very flexible with working later hours and on Saturdays. She would like a minimum of 40 hours/week. Anne has worked with our family as a nanny since our child was 3 months old and he is now almost 3 years old. We do not need a full time nanny anymore so that is why we unfortunately have to part with Anne. Anne has not only met but exceeded every expectation we had. One of Anne's most remarkable qualities is her strength as a teacher. As first time parents we were learning on the go, and Anne's considerable experience and deep knowledge of child development and infant care became an invaluable resource to us. Beyond her care for our son, Anne brought an extraordinary level of organization and attention to detail to the daily workings of our household. Most importantly, the bond that Anne has formed with our son has been truly special. She has not just been a caregiver but his champion as he navigated doctors appointments to the everyday adventures and challenges of early childhood. We are especially grateful for Anne's attentiveness and perceptiveness to our son's development. Around the time that our son was 18 months old, Anne noticed some developmental delays that we had not fully recognized. Thanks to her observations, we were able to pursue testing and early intervention which has made an enormous difference. We recommend Anne wholeheartedly to any family not just looking for a caregiver but a partner in raising their child. The best way to contact Anne is directly by texting her at her phone number.

If you have a baby and you’re in the market for an unflappable, reliable, kind and loving nanny, look no further. Erica has worked for our family for the last few months and has made a lasting impact. We genuinely adore her, and more importantly, my son ADORES her. The only reason we’re helping her find a new family now is that I have decided to take on more of an active parenting role and we no longer have a need for a full time nanny. Erica was with her last family for 8 years, and before that she was with two others for 5+ years. She specializes in joining families with a baby and growing with them for the years to come. She’s adaptable, experienced and an expert in childhood development. She’s extremely active and takes children out at least twice a day rain or shine, in addition to planning activities, playdates and reading to them multiple times a day. The thing I love most about Erica is that it’s abundantly clear she understands children and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. She respects my son for the little person he is and gives him appropriate space and time to figure things out while maintaining a calm, cheerful atmosphere. She takes care of her charges like they are her own children; my son is loved and cared for every day he’s with her. Finally, Erica is a dream to work with. She’s always been appropriately assertive in finding things to do and taking care of my son while being respectful of our parenting and fitting in with our systems. She’s a delight to be around and I enjoy having her in my home. She’s also deeply professional and takes her work very seriously; it’s obvious she cares a lot and works very hard. Whoever Erica’s next family is will be lucky to have her. I’m happy to answer any additional questions you may have.

It is with heartfelt gratitude that we recommend our former nanny, Philomene, who was with our family for over three wonderful years. From the moment she joined us, she became so much more than a caregiver—she was like a grandmother to our two children. Her warmth, patience, and nurturing spirit created a loving environment that allowed our kids to thrive emotionally and developmentally. Whether it was reading stories, planning fun and educational activities, or simply offering a comforting hug, she always went above and beyond. Her years of experience, combined with her natural intuition and genuine love for children, made her an invaluable part of our family. She is punctual, responsible, and incredibly trustworthy. We always felt at ease knowing our children were in her care. Even now, after moving to the suburbs, we remain in close contact, meeting for birthdays, graduations, holidays, weddings, etc., which speaks volumes about the bond she formed with our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a truly exceptional nanny. She is a rare gem and anyone would be lucky to have her in their children’s lives. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to hear more about our experience.

Nicole is the first person I call in the morning, and she is always eager to hear how the children got off to school and if there was anything about which she should be aware. Everything I know about parenting I learned from Nicole. Nicole is deeply committed to her family, to our family, to her friends and to her community. We are so fortunate to have her in our lives.

She is loving, attentive, playful. She is never on her phone around my daughter - I know this because Ive often surprised them at the playground. She cooks fresh meals 3x a day, cares about what friends are a good fit for playdates, and pays attention to my daughter’s interests. She also helps around the house during nap time (light tidying etc.). I currently pay her 28/hr and award vacation, sick days etc. she would prefer one child but is open to more. Tasi has helped my daughter become a confident, highly verbal, and polite toddler. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! I’m hoping to find her a new employer that will appreciate how committed a caregiver she is.

Semone looked after my son for nearly two years and she performed diligently throughout her tenure. Semone is a loving, energetic and nurturing nanny and a testament to her quality is how my son turned out under her care: Respectful, loving and kind. She was highly motivated to learn as much as she could and performed extremely well utilizing her best capabilities. She frequently devoted herself for long hours to develop lesson plans for my children and monitor their progress. Semone was flexible, reliable and quick to adapt to our rapid-fire pace. Particularly, she is very skilled in: • Supervising children and caring for their needs • She helped our newborn reached each milestone through play • Planning, preparing and serving meals for children • Bathing, dressing and feeding infants and children • Preparing formulas and changing diapers Semone has a number of strengths but her main strength – according to my observation – is her capability to motivate children. She always seemed genuinely interested in children’s mental development and presented new ways of learning that captured their attention. Safety, trust, love, reliability, and common sense are her biggest assets; parents of children in her care never need to worry if their children are safe or well taken care of in the home or outside the home when she is working. Whether feeding and bathing a baby, overseeing playdates, watching on the playground, monitoring an illness, or picking-up/dropping-off at activities, her attention is on the kids at 110%. They are her priority at all times and her eyes and ears (and heart) are never turned off. In summary, Semone possess all qualities that make a nanny successful. She is very reliable, trustworthy, motivated, and able to make herself tune-up with the requirements of family and children. Once again, I highly recommend her for a nanny position

She is calm, patient, responsible, and wonderfully easygoing. With many years of experience, she is highly dependable, always punctual—often arriving early—and effortlessly manages multiple tasks. She consistently has everything prepared before we even ask. Her dedication to our son has been truly remarkable. She’s helped with everything from preparing healthy meals and organizing his nap schedule to keeping his room and toys tidy, doing his laundry, and more. Every day, she reads to him, takes him to the playground, library, language classes, and museums, and arranges playdates with other neighborhood nannies. She genuinely enjoys playing and spending quality time with children. Dechen was especially helpful during the transition to solids, preparing mashed bananas, avocados, soft fruits and veggies, purees, and cooked meats. She always had his bottle ready and even packed his bag for trips. She took out the garbage daily and kept our home tidy and organized—an enormous help for us. Importantly, she’s never on her phone while working, and multiple parents have commented on how sweet and attentive she is with our son. Any family in NYC would be lucky to have Dechen as a caregiver. I truly have only positive things to say about her—and the references I spoke to before hiring her echoed the same.

Our amazing nanny Tsering is looking for full-time work starting in the summer of 2025. She has been with us for the past 3 years, starting when our son was 5 months old. Tsering has been indispensable to us from day one – she is extremely knowledgeable of childhood development and has been an incredible partner in helping us as first-time parents navigating important milestones (transitioning to walking, transitioning to solid foods, potty training, etc). She and our son have a very special bond – she is patient and kind but firm in setting boundaries and expectations. She has boundless energy and is always engaging him in new and enriching activities – going to the park, play dates, singing and dancing, art projects, reading, sports, etc. She is very friendly and proactive – when we moved to Park Slope in November 2023, within a few weeks she had formed a new group of nannies and children and had figured out the best free activities in the neighborhood. She also does light housework (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, general tidying) without being asked, so I always come home to a house that is neater than when I left. We trust Tsering implicitly with all decisions relating to our child – we often seek her advice and consider her to be like a third parent. With our son starting summer camp and then school full-time in the fall we are very sad to be losing her but want to support her in her next adventure! She is a very special person and would be a great asset to any family. If you need any more information please let me know – recommendations from her other previous employers are also available upon request.

She came to us from another family we are close with and was with her previous family for 10+ years. We are only parting ways with Ana as our family’s care needs are changing and we will no longer require the support of a nanny. Ana is responsible for the afterschool care of our two children, ages 9 and 7, handling all tasks with enthusiasm and a loving approach. Her patience, reliability, and flexibility have been invaluable to us, and we are always confident that our children are in the best hands when they are with her. Ana is a native Spanish speaker and has taught our children some basic Spanish. What stands out most about Ana is her ability to connect with children on a personal level, understanding their individual needs and personalities. She encourages positive behavior and fosters an atmosphere of respect, kindness, and creativity. Whether it be guiding the children through playdates or getting them to arts and sporting events on time, Ana is up for the task. She always provides us with updates on the children's well-being, activities, and any concerns that may arise. She also sends plenty of photos and videos. It is without hesitation that I recommend Ana to any family looking for a dedicated after school nanny. She is a rare gem, and we are truly grateful for the time and care she has given to our family. I am confident she will be an asset to any family lucky enough to have her. Please reach out to Ana directly or email me — I am happy to share further details.

Mariam “Mimi” Jalloh was a caregiver for our two children who were 3 and 8 years old when Mimi first came to work with us. She has been a dedicated, loving and responsible nanny for our family for three years. She was in charge of taking the children to and from school each day, including driving them to school and to afterschool activities. She is an excellent and cautious driver, and there are very few people we trust to drive our children around. She did the children’s laundry and cleaned up after them; she packed their bags for weekends away; and she created fun and engaging activities for them, including playdates, trips to the museum and the playground. Mimi has lots of energy and is always smiling. She has a warm and loving personality while also maintaining boundaries for the children. Mimi was never late to work in the entire time she worked for our family. She is extremely dependable, responsible and flexible - she would travel to be with us in the summer and over holidays to our second home and would stay late on weeknights if we had events or plans after work, making everything very seamless. Over the years, I have received unsolicited feedback from other parents and teachers about Mimi’s attentiveness, care and love for our children. Mimi’s next family will be lucky to work with her. We would be happy to provide any additional information that would be helpful.

We were so grateful that our wonderful nanny Esthela came into our lives, and I’m happy to recommend her to another family. With over 30 years of childcare experience, she was a wonderful source of support and comfort to me as a first time mom to twin girls. I learned so many tips and tricks from her that have helped me care for my girls, boosted my confidence and minimized daily stress. She is a positive, warm, caring and patient person who will bring light to any household, and an engaged caretaker who can handle anything that comes her way. She has a background in teaching, with a degree in the science of education, and is also certified in newborn care, neurodivergent kid care and other special needs (has worked with kids with autism, speech difficulties, and limited vision), and CPR. It was important for us to expose our kids to both English and Spanish, and Esthela was an excellent tutor for our girls. She is a timely and organized person, who can set up a schedule, and make sure that everything that needs to get done is accomplished — from playtime, meals, bath time, walks and park time, classes and appointments, keeping things tidy and getting the babies down for their naps. Everyone loves her — even our cranky dog! She will be a stellar addition to any household, and her next family will be lucky to have her. Please let me know if you need any more information. She does prefer to work with babies.

Parent Reference

Mariam “Mimi” Jalloh was a caregiver for our two children who were 3 and 8 years old when Mimi first came to work with us. She has been a dedicated, loving and responsible nanny for our family for three years. She was in charge of taking the children to and from school each day, including driving them to school and to afterschool activities. She is an excellent and cautious driver, and there are very few people we trust to drive our children around. She did the children’s laundry and cleaned up after them; she packed their bags for weekends away; and she created fun and engaging activities for them, including playdates, trips to the museum and the playground. Mimi has lots of energy and is always smiling. She has a warm and loving personality while also maintaining boundaries for the children. Mimi was never late to work in the entire time she worked for our family. She is extremely dependable, responsible and flexible - she would travel to be with us in the summer and over holidays to our second home and would stay late on weeknights if we had events or plans after work, making everything very seamless. Over the years, I have received unsolicited feedback from other parents and teachers about Mimi’s attentiveness, care and love for our children. Mimi’s next family will be lucky to work with her. We would be happy to provide any additional information that would be helpful.

Parent Reference

Lisa has been with our family for almost six years, since our daughter was 3 months old. We are sad to be saying good-bye to her, but moving out of the city in July. She has been a wonderful nanny for my two kids, now almost 4 and almost 6. We regularly hear from the kids teachers and other parents that Lisa is amazing with them. She is very proactive and from an early age (3 months?!), was finding great music, gymnastics, sports classes, etc. for them to join. She would also seek out great free programming in the local library or the park. My kids are super confident because of this, and jump into new situations and play groups. She befriended a wide group of nannies so they had play dates every day with a big group of kids. She is a wizard with food and my daughter eats everything (healthy) under the sun now. My son has allergies so more limited/cautious, but loves his crunchy veggies and fruit. Lisa is also very low key and accommodating. She often comes out east with us to our house and will spend the night. The last few summers she has been willing to stay out east with us for a week at a time, but definitely does not prefer a live-in arrangement. She has stayed with the kids a few nights at a time in our apt when my husband and I have gone on vacation. She would prefer a job in Brooklyn (where she lives), but open to Manhattan (we are UWS). The last family she was with (two girls), she is still very close with and stayed with them for six years as well. I'm sure they would also be happy to provide a reference. Happy to speak and hoping to find Lisa her next family!

It is a pleasure to write this wholehearted and enthusiastic recommendation for Paulette Parks, who was the full-time nanny to our son from infancy through toddlerhood. She cared for him on a five-day, 10-hour schedule for 18 months until he began full-time school last fall. We remain close, and she continues to look after him during school holidays—a testament to the strong bond she built with our family. Paulette played a central role in helping our son meet every key developmental milestone—walking, talking, feeding himself, learning appropriate behavior, navigating sleep routines, and mastering potty training. He is deeply attached to her, and we continue to feel grateful for the steady, loving, and developmentally informed care she provided. With many years of experience caring for children from newborn through school age, Paulette brings both wisdom and warmth to every day. She is a natural at integrating into families and becoming part of the fabric of a child’s life. She is currently available for a new full-time role, and any family would be lucky to have her. During her time with us, Paulette was not only a nurturing presence but also a skilled activity manager. She knows the Greenwich Village/West Village area inside and out—every playground, class, and kid-friendly spot—and she enthusiastically structured our son's days with engaging outings and opportunities for socialization. We were constantly stopped by neighbors who had met Paulette and our son in the park or at classes, all of whom spoke warmly of their encounters. Importantly, she is just as comfortable in other neighborhoods and would easily become an insider in the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown, Tribeca, and the Financial District, bringing her same energy and resourcefulness to whichever part of the city your family calls home. Paulette is deeply knowledgeable about child development and frequently offered us thoughtful, practical suggestions that made us better parents. She is proactive in finding playdates, enrolling children in enriching activities, and coordinating logistics with teachers, doctors, and program leaders. She also handled our son’s meals, laundry, and room tidying with ease, always making sure he had nutritious, appealing food and a clean, organized space. Paulette is utterly reliable and professional. She is always on time, communicates clearly by phone and text, and gives ample notice if she needs time off. She brings kindness, good humor, and deep care to everything she does. Even now, she continues to send our son sweet messages, drop off little gifts, and remind him that he is loved—that’s the kind of person Paulette is. We recommend her without reservation. If you are seeking a nanny who is deeply capable, devoted, trustworthy, and loving, Paulette is simply exceptional.

We are helping our wonderful nanny, Lorena, find a summer position! My husband will be taking his paternity leave, so we will not need full-time support. Our hope is to connect her with another family for the summer while eagerly anticipating her return to our position mid-August. We can be somewhat flexible on dates to align to your family's needs and ensure your timeline is supported alongside ours. Lorena has become a member of our family and cares for our youngest son (8 months) with the utmost love, patience, and attentiveness. She has a background in preschool education, speaks English and Spanish fluently, and has experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood, including caring for multiple children at once. When she's caring for both of our boys (our oldest is 3.5) she also takes them on wonderful adventures around the city from the Central Park Zoo to many neighborhood parks and libraries. You can imagine, she's adept at navigating the subway with kids! The days are full of fun, learning, and joy. Our oldest has had several caregivers and Lorena is the one who brings the excitement that mitigates any stress of parents stepping out for work or a date. We have said that Lorena is our very own Mary Poppins! She is interested in summer roles beginning in June and ending after the first week in August (open to shorter periods). Lorena is happy to work at a summer residence if it is in the region surrounding NYC, but does not drive. If interested, we’re happy to privately share some fun photos of Lorena with our boys. We look forward to being in touch to share more. We want to ensure she finds a welcoming family to support this summer!

My husband and I highly recommend Kiki (Maria Cristina Bravim) as a nanny and believe any family would be lucky to work with her. Kiki joined us when our eldest son was 4 months old (now 19 months) and provided exceptional care during formative infant and toddler stages. We have since welcomed a second son (now 4 months) for whom Kiki also cares and supports. Kiki is kind, caring and dedicated to the children and families with whom she works. When we initially met Kiki during the interview process, we were struck by her level of experience, her clear love for children, her ability to support their development, her focus on safety and her willingness to accommodate flexible work schedules. Having now worked with Kiki, we can confirm all of those qualities are true. Additionally, Kiki has proved to be a reliable and consistent nanny, which has given our family additional stability and peace of mind. Our eldest son has benefited from Kiki’s care in a number of ways: his early physical development, his level of socialization and his language skills. We have a happy boy on our hands and we are grateful to Kiki for the role she has played in helping to raise him. She truly cares for him and we love seeing him smile and hearing them laughing together. We wish our second son would be able to benefit from Kiki’s care as much as our first son has. We will miss Kiki once we make our upcoming move to Philadelphia. Kiki is looking for to begin with a new family in August 2025 and prefers to be on the books. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

She took them to the playground and playdates regularly, encouraging them to interact with other children and make friends. She is loyal and committed and often went above and beyond in her role. Even during challenging times, such as when our family contracted covid, Yolande did not hesitate to continue caring for the children and maintain their routine as much as possible. In addition to her excellent caregiving, Yolande is incredibly tidy and organized. She diligently carried out all her duties, never leaving for the day before completing all her responsibilities.

She never took days off without advance notice and was always willing to even work on the weekends If we needed her, provided she didn’t have any prior engagements.

She helped tremendously not only with caring for my daughter, but also with housekeeping, laundry and much more, without us even having to ask. She intuitively understood what was necessary to keep our household running whether it be prepping meals for my daughter, or her milk bottles, packing a bag for an upcoming trip or taking out the garbage before we left. She always knew what was necessary. After I had my second daughter she always made sure that I had enough rest and much needed one on one time with the baby by taking my older daughter out on the swings or for a walk. She also got together with other nannies in the neighborhood to arrange play dates for her. I know when my kids are with her, they are safe and happy. She also made sure that my daughter was always learning by reading to her everyday. Thanks to her my daughter at the age of 28 months already knew her ABCs, could count to 1 to 20 and knows all the colors. Anyone would be lucky to have such a loyal nanny join their family.

I am pleased to write this letter in strong support of Dianne Gopee for a nanny position. What began as a chance encounter at a playground grew into our most valued working relationship for our family. Starting out with our two young children, Dianne had to multitask and manage difficult situations ranging from child sickness to varying school schedules, all which she handled with skill and grace. As our children got older, Dianne’s role evolved and developed into what could be described as a House Manager. The kids’ schedules became more complicated with sports, school and tutoring and Dianne took on more responsibility with food shopping, cooking and cleaning and continued to demonstrate immense reliability and strong work ethic. I have witnessed firsthand Dianne’s dedication and professionalism. Others have too, frequently other families would approach her to work for them and lamented the fact that they could not find someone who measured up to Dianne’s caring, kindness and enthusiasm. Dianne has consistently demonstrated quick problem-solving and attention to detail. Regardless of the situation her thoughtfulness and personable nature puts everyone around her at ease. I have no doubt that Dianne will contribute greatly to the any family, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything further.

She was great with the kids, cared for them, played with them, took them to activities and worked alongside us to help create routines. I always felt confident leaving them in her care. She independently fostered a learning environment for our kids that was consistent and progressed as they got older. From teaching numbers, colors and shapes. Creating arts & crafts projects to sorting shapes and sight words as they got older. We've had a great relationship while she was with us. She was always reliable, punctual , resourceful and receptive. Always working with us to find as many solutions as possible. She’s a professional.

Kathleen worked with us for 15 years, starting when our twin boys were 10 days old. Kathleen is a warm, caring, and patient person who has a positive outlook on life. She is extremely reliable. When our twins were born my husband and I both worked full-time, and our goal was to find a loving and capable person to care for our newborns during the day, who had a flexible schedule so could stay late when needed, and simply, whom we liked. We wanted a caregiver who was experienced yet flexible enough to “do it our way”. We struck gold with Kathleen. She was wonderful with our children, and they still adore her. Kathleen was terrific about getting the boys out and about – to the playgrounds, to the park, to weekly trips to the Natural History Museum as well as to more structured classes like music, sports, and eventually preschool. Her focus was on the kids – not her cell phone or the TV, and our boys were happy and thrived under her care. It was a comfort to my husband and me to know that our children were spending their days with someone who was keeping them safe and active, and bringing them joy. I’m a natural worrier and I feel very fortunate to have found a caregiver that I trust completely - I never worried about the boys while working, which allowed me to focus and excel. We moved from Manhattan to Westchester at the start of elementary school, and Kathleen made the transition seamlessly (even with a longer commute). She befriended the other caregivers, moms, and dads, so the boys had plenty of after-school playdates. She made sure the boys did their homework, read books, and took baths. As the boys grew up and became more independent, we shifted Kathleen’s responsibilities to include more cooking, housework, dog care and housesitting, which worked out very well. Our boys are now in high school and I have stopped working, so we’re helping her find a position with another loving family. I wish I had kept track of the number of people who have stopped me to say how wonderful Kathleen is. She’s a special person for sure, and I highly recommend her as a trusted, caring, reliable caregiver.
