Shirley is both a career, professional nanny and a genuinely kind, loving person that cares for children and families deeply. She was with us for almost 4 years - starting when my daughter was 8 months old and she helped us through the birth of our second daughter. She cooked for us, did the children's laundry weekly, and kept our home tidy. And she was dedicated to us all through COVID-19. She become a part of our family, and we all miss her deeply. I truly believe my husband and I would not have gotten through the birth of our second child without her! She is calm, nurturing, and totally reliable, and her nature is just what any busy, city family needs to stay grounded amidst it all. We ended up moving out of state to be closer to my mom, which is the only reason she is not currently with us still. She lives in the Bronx, so she can serve all Upper Manhattan and the Bronx, potentially Westchester. She's available M-Thurs and is flexible on hours. She prefers to start with one child and grow with the family. Reach out with any questions- or contact Shirley directly. You won't regret it!

She fulfilled all of her tasks without a hitch, created a schedule for the kids that was easy to follow, and helped with cleaning up. Our youngest grandson was potty trained by her, and she even taught him how to write. Most importantly, she loved and respected my grandsons, and taught them how to love and respect others and themselves. She is definitely the best at what she does!

My twins are now older and she has been a babysitter long after we needed a full-time nanny. Shonnalee is everything you could ask for: kind, caring, loyal, energetic, attentive and able to handle all ages of children from newborn on up. There is no situation she cannot manage. She took a true interest in both of my kids, and still is their champion! Shonnalee loved to take them to the park, the gym, and any activities you needed. She is neat, clean, always on time and an incredible cook (total bonus!). Once you try her meatballs or chicken you will think she should open a restaurant. Shonnalee is like family to us and always will be a part of our lives. Aside from me, she has multiple additional excellent references. Her number is 347-968-1352. Call her and you are all set.

She is always early, stays late, and puts up with our family's chaotic scheduling shifts. She is kind, seamlessly handles big emotions, and loves hands-on activities with our daughter (she bought fun workbooks and learning toys to help with cognitive and physical development). Pam bottle trained, taught our daughter to feed herself, and created an easy transition to solids. She is engaged, funny, exuberant, calm, and extremely flexible on schedules. The ultimate endorsement is the enormous smile on my daughter's face each morning when Pam walks into our home -- our daughter loves Pam and so do we. She’s looking for a full-time nanny job, ideally a baby. She’s very flexible with hours (but great at maintaining a schedule for kids!). You can reach out to her directly: 347-948-2668.

I'm helping my fantastic part time nanny ,Nisa, find more work to fill in her schedule. Ideally looking to fill Tuesdays and possibly Fridays, but there could potentially be some flexibility. I couldn't recommend her any more strongly. Nisa is incredible. She's one of the best people I ever worked with in any capacity. She's warm, hardworking, dependable, cautious, meticulous and flexible. Nisa started working for me 8 years ago when my youngest was 9 months old and I went back to work. I also had a 3 and a 6 year old. I always felt comfortable that they were being supervised and engaged at the highest level. Also, throughout those crazy years, Nisa kept my apartment looking like a hotel at all times. Now that the kids are older, Nisa tidies the house (though it looks like the cleaning lady came), picks them up and runs them to activities and makes a delicious family dinner. I often send her recipes that she grocery shops for and prepares beautifully. When she has extra time, she'll organize the kids closets, clean out the pantry or deep clean an area without me asking. I love Nisa and she makes my life so much better. The kids love her too and so do the neighborhood moms. I feel extremely lucky to have her.

It has come the time where our babies are not our babies anymore. Our incredibly wonderful nanny, Kamal, is going to be available. For the past 4 years we have been blessed to have not only a nanny, but a dear friend and practically family help us raise our two beautiful daughters now ages 5 and 2. It was the ease of having her adapt to our needs and her experience she shared that helped our bond and relationship blossom as a team. She is kind, sweet, patient, punctual, and devoted to her job. She did more than what we hoped for on a persistent basis. She was able to fill in gaps of care if we had a work emergency and was flexible with her time. The girls loved her reading stories to them, she made homework fun, prepared fresh food, and organized all of the kids day to day needs. She has helped me with the kids since infancy and has vast experience in infant/toddler care. She worked her magic to help feed my picky eaters every day with a positive attitude and a smile that never faded. We are incredibly sad to see her go, but in gratitude for all her help - we want to make sure she finds a wonderful new family to continue her Mary Poppins journey. As this is a time where unfortunately covid is a new normal, Kamal has always maintained her COVID vaccinations. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Norma is an incredibly happy, joyful, loyal and trustworthy nanny. When we first met her we had newborn twins and a 1.5 year old in the thick of covid, and truly didn't think we could handle it all. Thanks to Norma's willingness to chip in and her nurturing nature we survived the most difficult time of our lives! She helped tremendously not only with caring for the children, but also with housekeeping and much more, without us even having to ask. She intuitively understood what was necessary to keep our household running whether it be cooking a meal for a starving mother, prep bottles for the newborn twins, pack a bag for an upcoming trip and much more. I know when my kids are with her, they are safe and happy. Unfortunately, we moved to the suburbs and required someone who drives so sadly had to part ways with Norma. She was with us for 3 years and the kids begged her to come to their birthday this past summer, and she did! Anyone would be lucky to have such a loyal nanny join their family.

Seema has helped create a wonderful daily routine for my daughter- she has recommended child classes she thinks my daughter would enjoy and has cultivated close friendships with nice children and their caretakers in our neighborhood, so my daughter is always engaged and playing with her friends. Seema is great about taking her outside multiple times per day and encourages her to explore and be active. Moreover, my daughter just loves Seema. Her name is often the last one she says before bed and the first she says in the morning! I have full faith in Seema’s judgement around my daughter’s social and intellectual development, as well as her instincts around safety. I wish Seema could be with our family forever but am hoping to find her a wonderful family when we move. I am happy to answer additional questions or talk further.

Her far and away best quality is the genuine love she exhibits for our toddler, which shows in all aspects of care she provides in the form of inexhaustible patience and heart-felt affection. This is reinforced by the actions of our 2 yo, who as a rule is wary of strangers: she’s run to the front door when the doorbell rings, gives Ermin hugs unsolicited and waves goodbye/sees Ermin off at the end of the day (unless she’s strapped in her hi-chair). Ermin loves her, and it’s clear she loves Ermin. As a professional, Ermin is unfailingly punctual and has never been late, whether arriving in the mornings or picking up our 5 year old from PreK (the school had a 5 min window she never missed). There were also no issues of her calling out excessively, and the few times she was legitimately sick, she provided enough notice for us to adapt. She’s extremely patient with the kids and very enthusiastic engaging (i.e. reading books, singing songs, playing with toys, etc.) with them. When the youngest is down for a nap, she’ll conduct light cleaning where the kids have been, consolidate and tidy their toys/stuff, run and fold their laundry and prepare simple meals for lunch and dinner. Part of her responsibilities also covered hygiene, so she’d give them baths or showers depending on the circumstances, and could manage both at the same time when needed without issue. So long as the weather allows, Ermin makes a point of ensuring they get outdoors at least once and is always vigilant watching over one or both during trips to the park/playground. If you’re looking for someone you can count on to love and care for your young child, Ermin will cover the bases. If you have any questions or would like additional feedback, we’re happy to provide.

Parent Reference

Alison was a hardworking, reliable, loving and fun nanny for our family. Alison began working with us in 2016 when our son was five and continued working with us full time until our daughter turned three (3) and started school. In the seven (7) years that she has worked with our children we have grown to accept her as not only a nanny but also family. Alison's time with us was a blessing but I was offered a position out of state and we decided to move. Alison has been a nanny for the past twenty (20) years and has experience in newborn, toddler and school age care. Alison most recent nanny position ended recently and since her position with us can't continue, I am posting in hopes of helping her secure a full time nanny position. Alison brings a professional, organized, thoughtful and expert approach to child care. She is able to work in the intimate family environment with integrity and professionalism and because of this I highly recommend her as a Nanny.

We can clearly see that our son has the best time with Tenzin. She actively plays and engages with him, and their days are always busy, leaving our son feeling fulfilled each day. It is clear to us that she played a big part in his development curve. In her care he has been free to explore his capabilities and the world around him feeling supported and safe.

AMAZING NANNY AVAILABLE! I am posting in hopes of finding a new family for our wonderful nanny, Charmaine. Charmaine was with us for more than two years, starting when our younger son was 4 months old. In that time, she became an integral part of our boys’ lives. And it’s only because both boys will be in school next year, that we are hoping to find Charmaine a new family. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Charmaine was loving and engaged with both of our kids. Our younger son, in particular, loves to see and hug his “Maine" and is quite attached to her. When he was a baby, Charmaine was a patient and attentive caretaker (and he was a bit challenging). As he got older, Charmaine engaged him in active play, taking him to the park, spreading his toys on a blanket and getting on the ground to play with him. All while also keeping an eye on our older son, a very active toddler. Charmaine has incredible energy-- she reads, sings, and plays with our boys regularly and engages them in a variety of activities. She is always on the lookout for an engaging music class, or library event to take the kids to, and regularly organizes play dates and park meet-ups. Charmaine is patient, reliable, and a good communicator. We are more than happy to share our experiences and perspectives about Charmaine with any family that is interested. She is available for full-time work now. Charmaine can be reached at 347-725-2769. Please feel free to reach out to me as well.

Wonderful Nanny- Available Starting Oct 2nd! We've been so lucky to have had Som work for us over the past year. We had every intention to work with her several years but we made the choice to relocate to CT. We invited her to join us but of course, she will be staying in the area. Our loss will be someone else’s gain and I’m thrilled that another family will have the opportunity to work with her! Som joined our family when our daughter turned 4 months old and she has been a calm, loving presence in her life. We are so comfortable with her in our home and her bond with our daughter has been truly special. Som has cooked wonderful, healthy meals (and made us killer Thai food!), set great routines, and furthered her development. She is wonderful at finding new activities - they go to different parks together, she educates me on interesting classes, and she coordinates fun playdates! She has 17 years of experience watching children 0-7 years old (twins too). Currently, she is with our daughter from 8am - 6pm Monday through Friday. She lives in Queens and is open to families in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Please reach out if you’re interested. Happy to discuss our experience further and connect you both!

Amazing BABY NURSE available. BABY NURSE ONLY!! Yvonne worked with our family for 7 months; we miss her every day. Our baby (now 17 months old) is a great eater and sleeps through the night thanks to Yvonne. Yvonne is incredibly professional (our pediatrician was quite impressed with her) and will do anything to ensure the well-being of your baby. Just 3 days after giving birth to our son, I had to go back to the hospital with preeclampsia. Not only did Yvonne take amazing care of our baby, she also spent time with my entire family who wanted to come over and see the baby. Her and my mother are still incredibly close. She is perfect for that new mom that wants to be more hands off with her child but also wants to make sure her child is raised correctly and with lots of love. She makes sure your baby is hitting appropriate milestones. Yvonne did daily exercise routines with our baby to build his core strength. After bathing our son, she would give him a nightly Spa Yvonne Massage. Most importantly, she was a delight to have living in our home. We often had dinner and drinks together. My husband and I left her at home with our son multiple times to go on vacation, including a week-long trip to Mexico. We were never worried leaving our son in Yvonne’s care. We would recommend Yvonne to a happy family that does not want their child to feel stress. I wanted someone that would allow me to spend quality time with my baby without the pressures associated with raising a child. Yvonne was there to do all the rest and train us to care for him when she was gone. I genuinely believe that our baby is so happy and sociable because of her love, care and attention. I could not recommend Yvonne more highly. If you are a family that wants a loving, stress-free relationship with your baby, please reach out. She is looking for a happy tidy home filled with love (and good music).

Leah has been with us for the past 2 years and would've been for many years if my husband didn't get a job transfer to Israel. We were grateful and fortunate to have her because this was my first child but she made it all look so easy. She genuinely loved my son and we worked as a team with every monthly milestone, doctor's appointment, music class, library storytime with her scheduling and routines. She is educationally focused and loves to read, sing, craft, dance, play dates, and have outdoor adventures. When we departed he was 2 years old and was speaking sentences, knew lots of colors, counted to 10, and primarily all his ABCs. She kept everything neat and methodical and would request restocks for everything needed. I never had to worry about anything if she was around with supervision, meal planning, bathing, diapers, laundry, etc. She is very observant of any mood change whether it be for teething or a cold. She's reliable and motivated. In summary, Leah possesses all the qualities that make a successful nanny. She is highly recommended. Please note that I'm currently living in Israel so +1 comes before my telephone number and can be reached on WhatsApp @ +1 917-533-1811.

Parent Reference

Dulce is an incredible nanny to our 2-year old daughter Rylie. She has been watching Rylie since she was an infant and we couldn't give her a stronger recommendation. I think the strongest way to illustrate that is to share their daily schedule. Rylie loves her - when she walks in the door every morning, Rylie runs to her screaming "Dulce, Dulce" and gives her a huge hug. In the morning, Dulce gets Rylie ready for the day and packs her lunch, they spend the first part of the day in a class, or going on an adventure with Rylie's friends and their nannies (such as the zoo or library). Dulce has cultivated an incredible group of nannies/toddlers, who plan leaning opportunities, outdoor adventures and ample play time for the kids everyday. Rylie and all her friends have lunch together, before they come home for nap time. While Rylie naps, Dulce has her lunch and helps around our house (light cleaning and laundry). They spend the afternoons outside of our apartment on play dates with their little crew and have their dinner outside together as well. They come home around 6pm for bath time. With Dulce's influence, Rylie's early language skills include both english and spanish. She texts us photos throughout the day, which we love. I couldn't give Dulce a more shining recommendation, we're incredibly sad to be moving away from her.

She brought them to school and picked them up daily. Sandra read to them and played with them. She cared for them as if they were her own. We are forever grateful.

She has also been amazing with tidying up around the kitchen and baby’s room - going above and beyond to help with household tasks including cooking for the baby. She has even taken it upon herself to walk our dog when she takes the baby out for a stroll and our dog adores her as well! She has been super flexible with schedule and local travel - covering evenings for date nights and also accompanying us on our summer outings including overnight stays outside the city. I recently decided to stay home from work and no longer need full time help. Maria worked with a number of families before us including a very long term role immediately before and she came highly recommended. We think the world of her and want her to find an amazing family who can give her the hours she needs (40hrs/wk preferred).

I am devastated to be parting ways with our wonderful nanny, Patricia. She joined our family when my son was 4 months old. I found her on Park Slope Parents by sheer luck. The moment I spoke to her I knew she was the one for us. Henry is now 21 months and just started preschool. He’s an amazing, capable, independent, happy kid and that is largely due to her influence. She is loving, intuitive, patient, knowledgeable, funny, fun, active, wise. She has over 20 years experience caring for children. My son has had such a rich learning and socialization experience in her care. He has more friends than we do at this point. He has fun all day, every day. She takes him at 9 on weekdays. They are out and about all day, in the playgrounds, the park, at the Y, the library, etc, etc. But she has also established a solid routine with him, that he follows even on weekends. He comes home at 5 happy and exhausted (which means he sleeps great every night). With Patricia, he tries foods he would never eat at home. She encouraged him to start walking, which he was late to do. He has friends of different ages, from babies to “big” kids. They hang out with other nannies and kids, which means he is surrounded by women who love and look out for him all day. Patricia is a real pro with kids. As a first time mom, I have learned so much from her. She is also a mother so she gets it. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about her. As a first time mom of a tiny baby, I was SO anxious to transition him to the care of another person. She could sense that and made it so easy on me. I trusted her completely after about a day, lol. It didn’t take much. She’s just a natural and knows exactly what she’s doing. My son loves her beyond measure. They have a really special connection. I’m honestly tearing up as I write this. We will miss her so much. I can’t recommend her highly enough. And I know her past families feel the same way because I spoke to at least three before hiring her. Many of them have remained in touch with her even though their kids are older now. She is definitely looking for full time work and can only work until 5pm because she goes to school at night. I’m more than happy to answer any questions about our experience with her. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her.

Tonia has helped with many things such as potty training, teaching her ABCs, how to read and write, cooking her nutritious meals, arranging playdates, taking her to the museum, and many other fun activities. Tonia has been with us since Naomi was a newborn and I trust her with anything she is very punctual, reliable, easygoing, and fun. Whenever we traveled, she kept our minds at ease because we knew Naomi was in safe hands, and we were able to go out and have fun while knowing our baby will be kept safe. Unfortunately, we relocated to New Jersey; and we are looking for a nice new family for her. Feel free to reach out to us for more info.

She started with us on a temporary basis when my son was 6 months old and she stayed with us until he was 15 months old. She speaks fluent English and read many books and sang to him every day. She was a big help in guiding him through his milestones, including learning to crawl and walk. Her last family, where she worked for 10 years, had a child with special needs that required physical therapy, and that experience really shone through with the exercises my son needed to do for his torticollis — which was resolved by the time he was one. Eunice also regularly cleaned our house, which is unusual for caretakers. Beyond doing our son’s laundry and dishes, she swept, mopped, vacuumed, cleaned the bathroom and cleaned the kitchen at least once a week. That was never a term of her employment but she is committed to maintaining a clean household — so much so, that my son's favorite toy is a broom. Eunice is a very competent caregiver with lots of energy who knows how to take charge and does not need to be told what to do. I always trusted my son was safe with her, including on their daily adventures outside. I know she was not a nanny that was parking him in his stroller for long stretches of time either. They were definitely active at the park and running around neighborhood.

We are writing to recommend our nanny of 6.5 years, as our children are now both school-aged and busy young people! Sherry was with us since our oldest was 1, and is the only nanny our younger son has ever known. She is available to start working with a new family right away. We want to make sure Sherry lands in right family. Sherry became an integral part of our family, and treated our sons like her own. She has a warm and loving demeanor, and worked collaboratively with us as our children entered new phases of life. She was responsible for school drop-offs and pick-ups, accompanied the boys to music, gym, and art classes, and was constantly arranging playdates and outings. Sherry looked for free activities around the neighborhood, took the kids to museums, parks, and gardens, and was open to new adventures all the time. Sherry is also very attentive and is intuitive when it comes to our son's moods and needs. At the parks and playgrounds, she was the nanny on the equipment with the kids, engaging in their games, and always making sure they were safe and well cared for. I have heard from numerous moms around the neighborhood who see my kids out together with her, and how attentive she is with them. She made sure our children were well fed and rested, had their homework done, and was always on the floor playing with them and talking with them. Sherry also made sure that our home was neat and tidy. She did the children’s laundry, prepared their meals, and tidied up the house at the end of each day. We never have to worry when we leave our sons with her. We know that they are in safe hands at the end of day. She is definitely a gem of a nanny. Sherry has worked with us since our boys were newborns, and has cared for children up to age 13. I cannot recommend her more highly. Sherry will definitely be missed by our family. Please feel free to contact her at 646-879-4629. I would love to help her find her a new wonderful family to work with. Lisa

Kay is a super-reliable, kind, compassionate, caring and energetic all around amazing woman. She will always go the extra mile for the children and the family she cares for. I have known Kay for two years now as part of a nanny share- she primarily worked for another family who have since moved away and they are still asking her to move out of state to be with them. I witnessed how she cared for both of our children and continues to care for both of them as if they were her own. She is unable to move out of state as she is a long-time Brooklynite and has her family is here. She has been caring for children in Fort Greene area for over seven years and continues to do part time work with previous families. She ideally would like to care for an infant and establish a long-term family relationship as she has proven to do so well before. She has a car and drives and is available for extra weekend and evening hours including overnight shifts and is overall flexible to suit the needs of the family she works with. I have never doubted I could rely on Kay. 100% trust.

Hi. I am here to recommend and to help find a part-time or possible full-time position for my children's nanny, Lisa. Lisa is a great nanny and an amazing person. She has been with us for 5 years. She started when my older child was 8 months old, then we added another child and now they are 3 and 5. She did a wonderful job helping us with everything: playdates, school and activity drop offs, errands, kids food, helping us with family when they were in town. She is very friendly with other caregivers and made a lot of friends and playdates. She never missed a day of work in the 5 years with us. She was always accommodating coming early or staying late when needed. She is also is available for date nights. She took care of all the children’s laundry, packed lunches, baths, and willing to help with any task she was given. Lisa is comfortable and capable of taking care of kids at any age as she has care for our kids from birth until school aged. Our care needs have changed now that both kids are in full time school. She is looking for a morning position (around 8a-1p) during weekdays. She is a great caregiver and person. I have no reservations recommending Lisa to care your children as She still cares for ours after school. Please don't hesitate to reach out for a reference - you can reach me (Pat) at 513-675-6779 or to Lisa directly at 347-479-7855.

Elizabeth is an incredible nanny to our 2-year old daughter Rylie. She has been watching Rylie since she was 3-months old and we couldn't give her a stronger recommendation. We love her as a part of our family - and are so sad to have moved out of NYC, as she can no longer be our nanny. Rylie loves her - when she walks in the door every morning, Rylie runs to her screaming “ZZ-abet” and gives her a huge hug. In the morning, Elizabeth gets Rylie ready for the day and packs her lunch, they spend the first part of the day in a class, or going on an adventure with Rylie's friends and their nannies (such as the zoo or library). Elizabeth has cultivated an incredible group of nannies/toddlers, who plan learning opportunities, outdoor adventures and ample play time for the kids everyday. Rylie and all her friends have lunch together, before they come home for nap time. While Rylie naps, Elizabeth has her lunch and helps around our house (cleaning and laundry). In the 1.5 years Elizabeth was with us, I have never seen her sit once. They spend the afternoons outside of our apartment on play dates with their little crew and have their dinner outside together as well. They come home around 6pm for bath time. With Elizabeth’s influence, Rylie's early language skills include both english and spanish. She texts us photos throughout the day, which we love. I couldn't give Elizabeth a more shining recommendation, we're incredibly sad to be moving away from her.

Because of a changed financial situation, our family has to part with our truly wonderful nanny, Emmantha. Emmantha has been with our family since the end of my maternity leave 1.5 years ago. I was anxious about going back to work, but Emmantha handled the transition expertly and put me completely at ease. She is everything you would want in a nanny plus more: reliable, thoughtful, caring, fun, and attentive. She is an expert with both babies and toddlers (10+ years experience): she helped us establish a routine for my daughter and guide her through her first year milestones, and has helped us navigate the excitements and challenges of having a very active, daredevil toddler :) One of the things I love best about Emmantha is how attentive she is to the individual, idiosyncratic person my daughter has become: she knows her interests and likes and dislikes incredibly well and does an amazing job of creating and curating an environment for her to safely grow and develop without pushing her. She is an excellent communicator and will share her thoughts and observations as helpful/needed but is 100% willing to go with what we want for our kid. She handles my daughter's food, clothes, laundry, and play area, etc, and will often notice (and get for her!) various things/toys that my daughter needs. She is always on time, and flexible if our schedules change, which has been incredibly helpful. Multiple other mothers, as well as my daughter’s music class teacher, have come up to me to tell me how wonderful Emmantha is with my daughter when I'm not around. She has stayed for many years (5+) with prior families, leaving only once they moved out of the city and still visits with them, which shows how indispensable she is and the strength of the connection she builds with her kids/families. We are heartbroken to be parting with her – I’ve been crying about it for months - and want to make sure she finds a good family to join. Please don't hesitate to reach out for a reference - you can reach me (Emma) at 917-848-3476 or reach out to Emmantha directly at 718-809-6890.

We are putting our daughter in nursery school and simply don't need a full time nanny anymore. She helps with meal prep and provides her with nutritious meals three times a day. She gives her daily baths, changes her sheets, does laundry weekly and more. She lets us know when any baby inventory is running low. She has also played an active role in keeping our daughter engaged and learning. She takes her all over Brooklyn to explore the zoo, prospect park, the botanical gardens, the Brooklyn children's museum, music classes and so much more. She is very in tune with the happenings of park slope and has a strong community here. She absolutely adores our daughter and shows her such care and affection. We hope to match her with a new amazing family. She is looking for full time 35-40 hours and would prefer a younger baby (3-5 months) to start.

Our beloved Nanny of 20 years is looking for a new family. She came when I was pregnant with #2 to do a late shift and stayed as my son's nanny until he was off to college. She is hardworking, practical, loyal and dependable to a fault. She doesn't sit still and is completely nonplussed by chaos. Every problem, every situation is faced with common sense and level headed judgment. In 20 years she was virtually never out sick and always flexible to stay late or do whatever else we needed. She kept the kids rooms clean, laundry done and got my son to all his appointments with little input from me. My husband and I are demanding exacting NYC type A types and we cannot say anything but whoever is her next family is so lucky.

Anna is my angel Nanny. Unfortunately, we are moving upstate New York for my husbands job. We are devastated and have shed many tears over leaving Anna. Anna is 50 years old, has 2 children, and upper east side Manhattan is her stomping ground where’s she’s Nannied for years. Anna is outgoing, kind, funny, and treats my 1 year old like her own. I’m a first time mom but come from a big family so I’d like to think my instincts with my baby are spot on but Anna always provides recommendations and is there as a shoulder to lean on… even for us moms. It was so hard (so I thought) to ever trust someone to watch my son while I work but the moment I met Anna it just felt right and I thought “this could work”. Anna is from Trinidad but has been here with her family since her early 20s. She lives in Queens and takes the subway to us. Please text me if you have any questions about her. I’m always happy to hop on a call. I want her to find a nice family who will treat her well and respect her as I do know it’s a two way street. Whoever gets Anna will be so lucky, I wish I could clone her and take her with us! The least I could do, is try to help her find someone for how she’s treated my little boy.

Tessa took my twins to the playground, to classes, set up playdates, etc. She is loving, kind and really treated my twins as if they are her own – they tell me every day how much they miss her and she does the same.

I want to introduce a very special caregiver, Cassie. With our daughter’s transition to full-day school it is time for a new family to welcome Cassie to care for their baby. Cassie has been a source of support, wisdom, perspective, laughter, and levity for our daughter (and me and my husband) for nearly six years, since our daughter was 4 months old. She has helped us to raise our daughter with a structured joyfulness that we, as first-time parents, wouldn’t have been able to achieve on our own. Over the years we have welcomed Cassie’s sharing ideas for how to do the best we can for our daughter. Cassie has always followed our lead while being ready to share thoughts when we asked, and volunteered thoughts when she saw that our daughter was experiencing rough patches. Cassie is very level-headed even in the face of big feelings. There have been many times when our daughter’s big feelings have frustrated us, leading to stalemates; but then Cassie has taken charge of the situation in a calm manner that moved everyone forward. Learning from Cassie has made us better parents. Cassie is unfailingly reliable. She is punctual and always leaves extra time for her commute and school pickups. Cassie has been flexible with us regarding schedule adjustments and she has been gracious about stepping in for occasional evening/weekend babysitting sessions. Our interactions with Cassie have always been straightforward and drama-free. Cassie always keeps us in the loop. She sends us updates and photos, and passes along observations about our daughter’s behavior, mood, and health. She is our eyes and ears. During the depths of the COVID crisis Cassie was committed to taking the precautions we asked, even when they were inconvenient and went beyond those of other families. She respected our decisions about how to keep our family safe. Cassie and our daughter share a relationship full of warmth and laughter. It saddens us terribly to think of no longer having that relationship in our daughter’s daily life. But we know that our daughter’s bond with Cassie will last, and that another baby will be lucky to have Cassie enter their life. Please don't hesitate to get in touch; I’m happy to share more information about Cassie and/or put you in touch with her directly.

My former nanny, Beverly, will be available for full time care beginning ASAP. I'm a teacher and can't offer her year-round work. She is, in a word, incredible—I’ve considered a career change just to keep her! We knew she was the nanny for us when she didn’t want to leave the interview because she wanted to play with our daughter - she is so attentive and just loves our daughter. She shows up every morning (on time or early!) with a smile on her face, and when I get home in the afternoon she is still smiling… she clearly takes pride in her work and always takes on even the small parts of caretaking with gusto. She knows lots of nannies in the neighborhood and sends us lots of pictures of our daughter doing fun things with other babies. She is also very comfortable (and loving) with our cantankerous dog. We are on the UWS, but she is willing to work anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn. As a working FTM, I was absolutely devastated to have to give her up. One of the things I love most about her is how much she loves kids - she takes great pride in her work and truly feels like a partner. My neighbors always tell me how friendly she is, and that they can hear her singing to our daughter throughout the day. You would be lucky to have Beverly as your nanny!

Our amazing nanny Cathy Ann will be available to work with another family as our daughter will be starting pre-K. Cathy Ann is seeking full time employment with a new family starting mid-September. We were fortunate to have known Cathy Ann through a friend whose son she cared for 4 years and came with glowing recommendations! Cathy Ann has worked with our family for little over 2 years and we are truly sad to say goodbye. She has a calm, happy and positive presence that has made working from a small apartment with a child easier. She is always willing to help and will not waste a minute sitting around even when my daughter is at classes. Every morning as soon as my daughter hears Cathy Ann’s keys, she runs to the door with excitement! Cathy Ann is constantly playing, doing arts and crafts, listening to music and singing songs with her. She is patient in teaching her new skills (cutting, phonics, table manners, potty training etc.) and has instilled a love for play/walks outside. She takes her to different classes, the library, parks while ensuring my daughter eats and naps timely. Back in St. Vincent Cathy Ann was a preschool teacher’s assistant and has years of experience working with children. For the past 21 years she has worked as a nanny for newborns, infants and toddlers. As a first-time mother, I value her advice and guidance (through all the milestones) – she is active in suggesting classes, easy to communicate with and equally open to feedback. She respects what is important to me as a parent and takes great effort to follow those directions. Above all, she is kind, hardworking and trustworthy, and I have never thought twice as to the safety of my child. You can reach Cathy Ann directly at 347-640-9208 or [email protected]. I’m happy to chat more about Cathy with anyone who is interested and provide a reference.

Vanessa is an exceptional nanny. She first started as our part time nanny back in February and then began full time for the summer where she watched my daughters, ages 4 and 2. She not only has a strong unique bond with both of my daughters, where they respect her and find her so engaging and fun (not to mention she teaches them Spanish and Latin dances), but she also is very professional and dedicated and shows she truly cares for us as a family - including our dog. She has also stayed overnight with our kids as their sole caregiver while my husband and I traveled for a week (and was an au pair for a year in California in a previous role). She is punctual, ensures the kids eat healthy throughout the day, keeps them on schedule and is meticulous about keeping their space, toys, and books in order. She arrives daily with a smile on her face and is so pleasant to be around.

Our incredible nanny, Lorraine, who has been with us for 18 years (yes, 18 years!) is finally ready to begin her time with a new family. I know that everyone says “my nanny is the best” but I want to tell you why this is true for Lorraine! Lorraine is not just a caregiver; she is a cherished member of our family. She has been with us since our eldest son was born, over 18 years ago, and has helped us raise our three children. Lorraine came to us with exceptional childcare expertise, having raised her own children and then spent almost 8 years as a nanny with another family in Manhattan (with whom she is still extremely close.) Lorraine’s dedication, love, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of our children have been extraordinary. She is the most loyal, loving, kind, hard-working and trustworthy person and every time I hear my children tell Lorraine they love her, I am reminded how lucky we are to have her in our lives. Lorraine guided me through every milestone with my children. From newborn to toddler to teen, Lorraine was there to help us navigate it all. She potty trained all three of my children on her own, juggled their chaotic schedules, cooked for them, cleaned for them and did their laundry. When they were young she made friends with other nannies, organized play dates, took them to classes, the park, museums and always kept them active and engaged. Lorraine has always been an extension of us, respecting our parenting style and reinforcing manners, respect and smart decision making with our children. She is extraordinarily reliable and flexible and has definitely made all of our lives easier and better. We have always been confident in her ability to handle any situation that arises with care and competence. My husband and I have been so fortunate to be able to work full time and travel and always feel confident that our children are in the very best hands. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had Lorraine by our side for these 18 years and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking exceptional childcare. Lorraine is looking for full time in Manhattan or Brooklyn and would love to join a family with a baby or young child. Her start date is flexible. Please reach out to Lorraine directly at 646-287-4483 and I can be reached for reference at 917-544-7923.

Our wonderful nanny, Sattee Jagdeo, has been with our family for almost 17 years (since 2006). Now that our children are older, we are no longer in need of a full-time nanny, but would love to have Sattee for just one day a week (to help out here and there and to maintain a connect with the kids). Therefore, we are reluctantly ready to share her with her next VERY lucky family. Let me cut to the chase: Sattee is truly amazing. She has become like a member of our family. We have worked with her since my rising high school senior was a baby, and he doesn’t remember home life without her. She also brought so much security and comfort to our second (adopted) son, when he arrived from Korea, and she helped created such a happy home life for him as he navigated his new surroundings and in the years beyond. I can’t say enough. How long is the space for this post?? Sattee is kind, thorough, safe, conscientious and is always bright and optimistic. She is a fierce protector of the kids, and I never worry about their safety when she is with them. When we met her, she gently chastised us for not putting a hat on our baby’s head when out in the cold to come meet her. I knew she was the one! Sattee is a mom herself, and has raised three truly amazing children who are now happy, kind, thriving adults. I feel like they grew up with us too, and I’m so proud of their accomplishments. I am happy to answer any questions you have.

Anna is my angel Nanny. Unfortunately, we are moving upstate New York for my husbands job. We are devastated and have shed many tears over leaving Anna. Anna is 50 years old, has 2 children, and upper east side Manhattan is her stomping ground where’s she’s Nannied for years. Anna is outgoing, kind, funny, and treats my 1 year old like her own. I’m a first time mom but come from a big family so I’d like to think my instincts with my baby are spot on but Anna always provides recommendations and is there as a shoulder to lean on… even for us moms. It was so hard (so I thought) to ever trust someone to watch my son while I work but the moment I met Anna it just felt right and I thought “this could work”. Anna is from Trinidad but has been here with her family since her early 20s. She lives in Queens and takes the subway to us. Please text me if you have any questions about her. I’m always happy to hop on a call. I want her to find a nice family who will treat her well and respect her as I do know it’s a two way street. Whoever gets Anna will be so lucky, I wish I could clone her and take her with us! The least I could do, is try to help her find someone for how she’s treated my little boy.

She prefers to start with a newborn so that she can grow with the family. The first day I met Jenny, I know I made the right choice. She has 25 years of experience and is looking for a full-time position, Monday-Friday 40-45 hours per week. Everyone who saw my son with Jenny tells me that I have the best nanny there is, and we definitely agree! Not only is Jenny punctual and extremely reliable, but you can also rest assured that your child will be well-dressed, fed, changed regularly and on a napping schedule. She is very fast learner. Her positive disposition and kind nature makes Jenny loveable to all. Jenny is extremely patient and can adapt to any situation with a smile. She always makes my son laugh even if he is not in a good mood. They love each other! In addition to making sure that your child is taken care of physically, Jenny also takes fantastic care of their mental well-being. My son is incredibly bright, and we truly attribute his smarts to Jenny’s care and concern for his education from an extremely early age. Jenny reads him books, does arts and crafts, coloring, painting, play dough and puzzles with him. She is always looking for more ways to broaden my son's educational horizons as he grows older and reaches different developmental milestones. Jenny always allows him to express himself to the fullest and feel comfortable with his emotions. She takes him to the playground, to classes, to the zoo and to the museum, etc. Jenny has cultivated an incredible group of nannies/toddlers who plan learning opportunities, outdoor adventures, and ample playtime for the kids. When they aren’t navigating the city, they were busy playing golf, basketball, soccer or tennis indoors. You will never have to worry that your child will be sitting in the stroller for hours while other kids are out playing. Jenny always makes sure that my son is safe and happy. She is also CPR trained. I can't recommend Jenny’s services enough to families in need of a hard-working, fun, honest and caring nanny.

Parent Reference

Anita was our nanny since our eldest daughter was 3 months old. For 7 plus years, she was an essential part of our family. We moved to Westchester and the commute time does not make sense for her. We give Anita the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a phenomenal caregiver to their children. When we were interviewing for caregivers, Anita said to us “Communication is key. We need to be on the same page” and that was the moment we knew she was the right person for the job. Choosing a caregiver for your tiny baby can be a daunting & overwhelming process, but since we hired Anita, we have had complete confidence that the children were safe and loved. Over the past seven years (and a second child born in 2017) Anita has been dependable, trustworthy, communicative and loving to our children. She has deep childcare expertise with decades of professional experience and her only son is now a thriving 26 year old. Anita was with her previous family for 15 years and only left when the children went to college. She still sees both children & parents regularly. She arrives early before her scheduled “start time” every morning. She gets the 2 children to school & to all activities on time. With notice, she will stay late for work commitments or date nights. She is both loving and firm with the children. She teaches them to clean up after themselves, say please and thank you, she does homework & reading with them. She also has so much fun with them, games, dressing up and lots of dancing. They understand the rules & why they are important while still expressing their full selves and feelings. They love snuggling & hugging their “Nini.” She has a take charge attitude & strong opinions but always defers to us as the parents. I cannot count how many times other parents have commented on how wonderful Anita is with the children. People who see them in the park often go out of their way to let me know how obvious it is she adores them. She cooks for the children & ensures their stuff is tidy. She dresses them before school and bathes them at night. She is outgoing and makes connections & playdates for the kids. Since day 1, she has had access to a credit card for expenses for the children. She always saves receipts & is fully accountable. We had a nanny contract but never needed to reference it. Not once have we worried about any behavior not aligned with our agreement or values. Anita has stayed true to her initial declaration in the interview and always communicates about the children, schedules & anything else that needs to be discussed. Please contact [email protected]/347.987.2335 to discuss further.

Yudelis (or "Yudy" to most!) has been our incredible nanny for the last 3 years - since our now 3.5 year old was 6 months old and has also cared for our almost 2 year old since he was a newborn. She has truly become family to us. She has consistently been an incredibly warm, comforting presence for both us and our kids as my husband and I have both navigated very consuming careers, the pandemic and often very hectic schedules (newborns/new jobs/house remodels, etc.!) etc! She is especially wonderful with babies/newborns - she will hold/rock them for hours, persisted in working on sleep training with us, would sing/dance and actively play with them and was incredibly competent at navigating both our babies needs (both individually and as she watched them together). She is lively and fun (and funny even!) and beyond loving our kids she has consistently been a beloved nanny in our neighborhood parks and playgrounds/community taking it upon herself to make friends with other neighbors/nanny's and their children, our local shop owners etc. that has provided us with an even larger, wonderful community. Beyond that, Yudy is incredibly tidy/clean. We never asked her to clean as finding someone that would love and play with our children was always our priority but in the 3 years that we've worked with her, there has never been a day that the house wasn't cleaner than it was when we left it and she takes pride (joy even maybe) in having all the laundry done/folded/away and an absolutely spotless kitchen/play area. Yudy speaks both English and Spanish and we've also had the unexpected joy of seeing our children learn how to fully understand/comprehend Spanish and speak it too! She has been unbelievably punctual and is often available, willing and eager to help out after our regularly scheduled hours with her and on the weekends. We will be very sad to see Yudy go as we transition both of our children into more full time school/preschool opportunities but would love to help her find a new wonderful family to work with.

Youdon was my family for two years, 1.5 years full time and .5 years part-time. She started with us a few months before the birth of my daughter to watch over my two older kids 11 and 9, then, following the birth of my daughter, became her full-time caregiver. I don’t think there’s a stronger affirmation about how much you trust someone than having them care for your newborn. That’s exactly how I feel about Youdon, I trust her unequivocally. She transitioned seamlessly as my daughter passed the newborn phase to the now very active toddler phase. She has such a gentle nature that it’s a real joy to see her interact with my daughter. Youdon is caring, diligent, patient, and attentive. Most importantly, I see the joy in my daughter’s eyes when she sees Youdon – my kids adore her. While caring for my toddler is her primary responsibility, in the free time she does have when the baby is sleeping or I’m spending time with her, she’s more than will to help with the cleaning. She’s also very flexible, willing to work late or on weekends.. As just one example, weeks before the birth of my daughter I was hospitalized for preterm labor issues, and with no other family around, Youdon stepped in and stayed with my older kids overnight with no notice. I highly recommend Youdon!

Ugyen worked with our family for 4 years, from when our son was 2 years old until now at 6 years old. In addition, she helped with our daughter when she was a newborn, and then took care of her full-time beginning when she was 3 months old until now at 2 years, 9 months. Ugyen has been a reliable and flexible caregiver; however, we no longer need a full-time nanny as our children are now in school. Ugyen has been a patient, steady and respectful nanny who has always been playful and caring with our children. She takes them outside every day, weather permitting, and speaks with them about what they are seeing and hearing (e.g., birds, trees, flowers, snow). She asks them many questions and listens to their answers, making them feel heard and considered. She has set firm boundaries for them by providing structure and routine, giving them a sense of safety and well-being. Ugyen is a great advocate for the kids, and in turn, has taught them how to advocate for themselves. They often tell me how much they love her, which has been the greatest testament to her ability to connect with and care for our children. Ugyen is punctual and begins her work straight away, proactively preparing meals and helping with chores and tidying around the home. She shares how the kids’ day went, sends reminders when they need something, and promptly delivers messages from teachers, doctors, etc. Ugyen is looking for long-term, full-time (40-50 hours per week) employment. She is willing to work weekends and travel with the family. She would be very well suited for a family with a newborn with plans to add siblings in the future. She is hoping to find a family in Manhattan or Brooklyn and is available to start on Monday, October 2, 2023. I give Ugyen my highest recommendation and would love to provide more details on her time with our family. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

My amazing nanny, Margaret, is truly a baby whisperer and highly experienced with young children. She has been with me and my two daughters for the last 5 years since the birth of my oldest. As a single mom, I leaned on her heavily through this critical period of our lives and she has been extremely reliable, loving and trustworthy. Margaret came to me highly recommended through another parent’s referral and has had several long term experiences before me with great references as well. She has rarely had a sick /personal day in these 5 years, always punctual, and would jump in with overnights or early mornings when my work schedule to travel would come up and even accompanied us on some holidays. She worked alongside and collaboratively with me, great and honest communication. With babies, she has a magic touch, knows just how to settle and calm them. She did everything for them and me, helping me with sleep schedules, transitioning them to bottle feeding, intro to soft foods, aligning with my direction as well as working with me to solve issues—particularly given her vast experience with babies. As they grew older, she helped managed their potty training, and continually engaged them in age appropriate activities and partnered with me on our approach to discipline. She is a wonderful cook and is sensitive to my direction, open to new recipes and introduces new flavors to us. I wish she could stay with us as the girls grow older, but they have transitioned to school full time so I am now looking for part-time care. The biggest testament to her are my girls who absolutely adore her and are incredibly sad to see her leave us. Some family is going to be extremely lucky to have her! She came to me when I lived in Manhattan and now in NJ---she is open to both, seeking a full-time position and is available in the next couple of weeks. Happy to discuss further and answer any questions you may have—feel free to reach out!

We have an incredible caretaker who is available for a full time caretaking opportunity at the beginning of September. We have our son enrolled in a full time preschool program in September so will not need full time caretaking after that point. I have worked with Annie for nearly two years now and can tell you that she is one of a kind. She is dedicated, incredibly loving and especially nurturing to our almost 2 year old son. We've had challenges with both picky eating and reliable day time napping and Annie has helped Jackson improve on both fronts. He's gone from a picky eater to a food explorer in large part to Annie introducing him to new foods and establishing a consistent routine at meal time. She has also helped my son get more comfortable with putting himself to sleep making day time naps much easier. Annie also makes a point to schedule playdates and activities to keep my son active and engaged. She takes him on a weekly basis to several classes and shares lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Very important to us, she is extremely reliable, an excellent communicator, and always on time. Annie has 20 years of experience across ages and caretaking multiple children.

Our wonderful nanny of nearly 7 years is now looking to help another family! Nirmala has over 15 years of prior experience with children of various ages. She is loving, punctual, communicative, safety-conscious, and a hard worker. I think in nearly 7 years she may have been 5 minutes late less than 5 times! She also was flexible in scheduling days off, and she was on-call during the births of all children after my first, available at an hour’s notice. Two of my children were due right around Christmas time and she didn’t travel so she could be there to help during and after the birth! She has first aid and CPR certifications, as well as fully vaccinated Covid, flu vaccine, and tdap vaccine (she has given me permission to post that). She helped my children meet their developmental milestones. She also potty trained 2 of my children (and one was very difficult!) She keeps to a tight schedule, cooks (she loves to cook and she’s good!), cleans up after them, and does their laundry. She even took care of my children while we took couples trips. She is a great communicator and we met regularly to discuss my children and how things were going. She followed our personal parenting style but was also confident making day to day decisions regarding my children. My children consider her part of our family, and we frequently received compliments from other families about her. Nirmala certainly made our lives easier, and we felt confident leaving our children in her care. We are only saying goodbye because I decided to quit my job and we no longer need full-time help. Nirmala is looking for a full-time, live out, Monday to Friday job. She would like to work 45-55 hours for $28-$30 per hour. She can do one late night (date night) per week. She prefers to start with babies or younger children and grow with a family, as she did with mine.

We have an incredible caretaker who is available for a full time caretaking opportunity at the beginning of September. We have our son enrolled in a full time preschool program in September so will not need full time caretaking after that point. I have worked with Annie for nearly two years now and can tell you that she is one of a kind. She is dedicated, incredibly loving and especially nurturing to our almost 2 year old son. We've had challenges with both picky eating and reliable day time napping and Annie has helped Jackson improve on both fronts. He's gone from a picky eater to a food explorer in large part to Annie introducing him to new foods and establishing a consistent routine at meal time. She has also helped my son get more comfortable with putting himself to sleep making day time naps much easier. Annie also makes a point to schedule playdates and activities to keep my son active and engaged. She takes him on a weekly basis to several classes and shares lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Very important to us, she is extremely reliable, an excellent communicator, and always on time. Annie has 20 years of experience across ages and caretaking multiple children. She is open to working in any neighborhood and would be open to caretaking more than one child. Annie's is a calm, professional, and loving presence in our lives.I can't say enough about what an incredible caretaker she is. We will miss her daily presence after September and think any family would be lucky to have her join them.

Amazing Full-Time Experienced Nanny Available Starting 9/1 Our amazing nanny has been with us since we moved to Westchester 2.5 years ago caring for our then 2 and 4 year children.

She's an experienced live-out nanny having cared for children from Scarsdale to Bedford, with babies up to grade school. She brilliantly balances our children's schedules between driving to school, classes, medical appointments. She also somehow manages to make sure our children are bathed and have dinner before we get home from work. She is also very social and all the families know her around town and our children always have playdates especially on days off. She is incredibly punctual, always professional and has truly become part of our family. We hope to find a family that is kind, loving and respectful.

Lamia is a FABULOUS nanny who has been such a gift in our lives. She brings a calm and loving energy to our daughter every day, has extensive experience with babies and toddlers, is a fluent French speaker, is very tidy and clean and a very easy presence in our home. Lamia has been working with our family and caring for our 2 yo daughter since she was 10months and we couldn't be happier. Lamia maintained and adapted our daughter's routine so her days were full of fun, rest and healthful foods. She made friends with other nannies, organized regular play dates, and enjoys being outdoors. There were daily trips to the library, park and playground, lots of reading and singing and from a young age taught our daughter to count, make puzzles, and express herself. We are also well on our way to potty training thanks to her proactiveness. As new parents, Lamia always had helpful suggestions to prepare for whatever was next on the horizon but somehow also never overstepped. We were also thrilled that our daughter was being raised in a bilingual home with Lamia speaking almost exclusively in French to her. In addition to having a wonderful disposition with our daughter, Lamia was very wonderful to work with. She is reliable, never late, and always gave ample notice if on the very rare occasion she had an appointment. She was proactive about coordinating her vacation time with ours. She has a discrete way about her that made being in the same space very easy (when we would wfh, for example). She is a fantastic and fast cook and a very clean person. Our daughter really enjoys tidying up and wiping down surfaces because of Lamia's modeling. She has cared for many babies through toddlerhood and truly has a gift for this age group. Would hands down recommend Lamia!

Sharon is wonderful and has worked for us since the birth of my first son eight years ago. She came to us with glowing recommendations from her previous families. She has been integral in caring for and raising my two boys since they were newborns. We consider her our third parent. My children love her and she loves them. She is extremely easy to work with and takes direction very well. She brings her own lengthy experience in raising children and was very helpful to us being a new parents when my first son was born. She definitely has helped us shape our children to be kind and respectful. She is very consistent in her daily routine with the children. She never calls in sick or arrives late. I can count on one hand the amount of times this has happened in eight years, so she is extremely reliable as well. Often times, we had to work late last minute or arrive home later than expected and she never complained about it. She is very communicative about her schedule and needs to go on the occasional doctor's visit and/or vacation time. In addition, my home was always extremely neat and tidy as were the children at the end of the day. I give Sharon my highest recommendation without any hesitation.

Jacqueline Cabrera was an employed nanny from July 2019 through August 2023. Recently we regretfully are sadden to let her go due to us moving out of the city and unfortunately Jacqueline cannot come with us. Jacqueline has been with us for over 4 years and I cannot express enough how much of a natural she is. She has cared for my now 6 year old daughter since she was around 2 years old. Jacqueline is amazing in all aspects! Throughout the time Jacqueline has worked for me she was super amazing with nap times, diaper changes, rearranging playdates, cooking for my child, and taking her outside to parks, libraries and so many other fun activities! Jacqueline was always on time for work and always came with so much energy to play with our child. Jacqueline also knew how to manage every situation and was very reliable. She was also available to work over time for date nights! Our daughter always felt comfort in Jacqueline since she has been so caring and loving towards her. Jacqueline would also sing and read different books to our child. Jacqueline always made sure to let us feel as if we were there with our child when she was outside, she always made sure to keep us updated what and where they were doing throughout the day. With Jacqueline everything went so smooth to bottles being cleaned, her laundry being clean and folded, and her play areas being cleaned as well. My child absolutely loves Jacqueline and so do we! She’s a lovely person to be around! Our wonderful nanny is seeking a new family to join and I write this in support of Jacqueline for a future family that may be in need of a nanny! Then Jacqueline is perfect for you! We will forever be grateful to her for helping us raise our daughter and making sure everything in our household went smoothly! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us. Thank you.

We are sad to say goodbye to our wonderful nanny, Kavita, since our daughter is starting a toddler program and she needs FT work. She knows Midtown East/Sutton Place and the UES very well. She can be flexible with her schedule. She has worked overtime for us on occasion, staying late or occasional weekend date nights. Kavita has over 25+ years of experience, including with multiple children, and has worked as a baby nurse. She is communicative, trustworthy and dependable. She is consistently on time, only called out sick once (she had bronchitis) and takes vacation with plenty of advanced notice. She has excellent English and stays in touch with me throughout the day, sending photos, texting and calling when needed. Our daughter was a COVID baby and Kavita helped socialize her, making playdates at the playground or in our building playroom on rainy days. Our daughter was a little shy around other children at first and Kavita has been wonderful in helping her feel comfortable around other children her age. I've seen a big change in how my daughter now feels comfortable approaching other children when I've taken her to the playground on weekends. Kavita and my daughter spend most of the day at the playground or on pre-arranged playdates. Kavita has always made sure the other child plays well with my daughter (not hitting or playing too rough) and has discussed the child and nanny with me first before arranging the playdates (to make sure I'm comfortable). Kavita has also offered to take her to reading groups, music classes and has looked for activities in our neighborhood to keep our daughter engaged. Kavita reads to her and has taught her to count. My daughter is also now an excellent eater thanks to Kavita (she wasn't the best eater when she started with us). Kavita has called me immediately when she thought something was wrong or if our daughter had an accident. She is very cautious - always wearing a mask during Covid and wiping the swings at the playground - and only lets her do age appropriate activities (doesn't allow her on the big kid slides or play gyms). At the playground, she doesn't let me daughter out of her sight nor does she let her get too far away from her at the playground. Kavita always does our daughter's laundry and puts it away, her dishes and straightens up after her. She often leaves our place tidier than she found it. We have a small dog in the apartment and she is good around the dog. She also works well around our housecleaner and our family when they have come to town. Kavita is easy to be around and takes well to feedback. When I have asked her to do something differently, she has made adjustments. As an anxious first time mom, Kavita came into our lives and helped give me faith that there are trustworthy nannies out there that will provide excellent care for our child.

Hi Moms! My husband and I have decided to move back to Chicago and so our wonderful nanny, Yvonne Brissett, is looking for her next family. Yvonne has been a true partner to my husband and I in raising our little boy, Lewis. Yvonne made it possible for my husband and I to balance our demanding careers with our responsibilities as parents— and gave us the peace of mind that our child was safe, well taken care of, and felt loved even when we weren’t around ourselves. It's with a very heavy heart that we're saying goodbye. Yvonne came to us after working with a fellow neighborhood mom when our son was 3 months old. The minute she walked through the door we knew we had found our nanny. Yvonne is special—and we figured that out quickly. She made our son Lewis her #1 priority and became completely tuned in to his needs. I love to watch the way Yvonne interacts and engages with Lewis. She motivates him to reach milestones, figure things out on his own, challenge himself. She laughs and celebrates with him. And it’s clear they have so much fun together. I don't doubt that Yvonne loves Lewis as if he were her own child. Besides being excellent as a caretaker for our now toddler, Yvonne is a joy to be around and work with. She’s energetic and funny. Yvonne travelled with us frequently and was a welcome companion to Lewis but also to my husband and me. She also watched Lewis in New York when my husband and I travelled together solo. Yvonne is in touch with all her former employers. She's constantly receiving updates and photos and videos about the kids she's cared for—or seeing them on the weekends. It's clear that Yvonne makes a lasting impact on every family she works with. Yvonne is the best and I can’t really express that enough here. Some more specific things to mention: Yvonne has over 20 years experience as a career nanny. I'll also mention that before she was a nanny she worked in the hospitality industry for many years. Not only are her caregiving skills unrivaled, but she's also communicative and professional. Yvonne is punctual, consistent, and reliable. This was a priority for my husband, we both work stressful jobs with long hours. Yvonne never disappointed. Yvonne is flexible. There were many evenings where we needed her to stay late on very short notice and it was never an issue. Yvonne took care of all household tasks that involved our baby—and then some. She did ALL of the dishes, include those my husband and I used for breakfast and coffee. She cleaned and swiffered the main areas of the apartment. She did ALL of Lewis’ grocery shopping. She stayed on top of shopping lists from target and amazon, reminding my husband and I when we needed to replenish diapers, wipes, etc. Yvonne is educated on milestones and development and would suggest toys and baby items that we should buy to help Lewis along. She talked to him constantly, and not babbling baby talk. Real, human conversations that helped him learn how to communicate with words at an early stage. She read to him frequently, asking him questions about the book along the way. Our son is smart, curious, and independent and Yvonne embraced and encouraged this in him from the very beginning. Yvonne took it upon herself to get to know and be friendly with the other people in our life — our longtime housekeeper, doormen, and porters for example. She communicated frequently with Lewis’ grandparents, FaceTiming them and sending photos when my husband and I were at work. Yvonne is looking for her long term family. We had hoped it would be us. The hardest thing about our move will be leaving Yvonne. I am more than happy to speak to anyone directly about our time with Yvonne and answer any additional questions. Please feel free to reach out to Yvonne directly. Additionally, I am happy to answer any questions or chat further about our experience working with Yvonne!

We work odd hours and Denise was very accommodating in helping us get to work early in the morning. She has helped watch Willa on Saturdays as well when we had asked. She is trustworthy and brings a lot of love and happiness into our daughters life. I cannot say more positive things about Denise. Any family would be lucky to have her care for their children. Due to a job change we have to move so are heartbroken that we have to part ways. She is hoping for a nanny position in Brooklyn. We hope a family can adore and appreciate her like we do.

Melesha is a super dedicated caretaker that we've had in our home for nearly two years. Our daughter is starting daycare full time so sadly we need to part ways. She's very much become part of our family--she and our daughter really share a special bond. She used to be a baby nurse, so she's super professional, confident and knowledgeable about infant care (which was invaluable to me as a first time mother). She immediately knew how to get our daughter on a sleep schedule, and creates great structure for her. She is always on time or early, and flexible with doing extra babysitting hours. She is super protective / vigilant when outside in public with our daughter, and I felt lucky to have a caretaker I could trust so much with our child. When our family got COVID a few years ago, Melesha insisted on still coming into work because she was worried about our daughter. Melesha is a gem and will be a vital part of your household!

Anita is a thoughtful, energetic, experienced care giver looking for a new role. While our time with her was short but sweet (due to unexpected changing family needs as is often the case with newborns!), she is a committed professional who was with her prior family for 7 years (from newborn on), and the family before that for 14. What stood out the most to me during my reference call with the family of 14 years was when I was corrected for saying "Anita was a part of their family" - because she still IS a part of their family. Anita is communicative and proactive. In her care, our newborn enjoyed many activities like walks to Central Park, reading, tummy time and dance parties. She quickly detected our newborn was very curious and alert, so kept her engaged in her surroundings rather than parked in her stroller. While at the park in our building, her attention was always on our daughter, never on her phone or socializing. Should you welcome Anita into your family, you will receive laughter, care and beautiful photos regularly. Please reach out with any questions.
