Parent Reference
We no longer need full time help, so unfortunately are parting ways with our wonderful nanny, Hermi. She has worked with us for 3 months, but has quickly made an impression and easily got a handle on our 9 month old's routine and needs. She is so sweet and loving with our baby, she sings and dances, is energetic, engaging, cautious, and protective while out and about - you will never have to worry about your baby's safety while in her care. Our baby absolutely lights up when she arrives for the day and tries to follow her out the door when she leaves. I always hear them laughing and playing in the other room and it's been so sweet to see their bond grow, even in this short amount of time that she has worked with us. Hermi is great with babies, caring, and eager to please, and she always leaves our home neater than when she found it. She has handled everything from taking our daughter to classes and playdates, coaching me through starting solids, shopping for and making our daughter's food, doing our daughter's laundry, and alerting me to things that need attention. I would love to find her a great family to work with. She is based in Jersey City but commutes to us in Manhattan, so she is open to a variety of locations. Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or feel free to get in touch with her directly.

Our wonderful former nanny, Yvonne Brissett, is looking for her next long-term family. Yvonne was a true partner to my husband and me in raising our child. She made it possible for us to balance demanding careers with parenting—giving us total peace of mind that our little one was safe, happy, and thriving.
From day one, Yvonne made our child her top priority. She became deeply attuned to their needs and encouraged independence, curiosity, and learning. She celebrated milestones, engaged in real (not baby talk) conversations, and created a joyful, loving environment.
Beyond her exceptional care, Yvonne was a joy to have in our home. She’s energetic, funny, and professional. She traveled with us frequently—both with our child and when we needed care while traveling solo.
A few additional highlights:
20+ years of experience as a career nanny, with a background in hospitality—she’s warm, polished, and communicative
Extremely reliable and punctual—critical for us with our long and often unpredictable work hours
Flexible and accommodating—always willing to stay late or adjust plans on short notice
Goes above and beyond on household tasks—handled all child-related chores and more (dishes, tidying, grocery runs, tracking supplies like diapers and wipes)
Development-focused—suggested toys and activities to support learning, read regularly with our child, and encouraged language development from an early stage
An excellent communicator with family and community—kept grandparents updated with photos and FaceTimes, and built friendly relationships with others in our daily life like our housekeeper and doormen
Yvonne is hoping to find a loving, long-term family. Please feel free to reach out to her directly—or I’m happy to answer any questions or chat further about our experience.

We’re so lucky to have had Selma in our lives for the past 8 years. She’s a fun, nurturing, and incredibly experienced nanny with over 30 years of caring for children. Selma came into our lives when I was a first-time mom returning to work—an emotional and nerve-wracking time. From day one, she made the transition so much easier with her calm, warm presence and deep love for children.
Selma never once made me feel like an overbearing new mom. She was always understanding, empathetic, and supportive. She became a true partner in raising our daughter—offering guidance, encouragement, and so much care.
She kept our daughter’s days full of learning, adventure, and joy—whether they were out exploring the city, playing at the park, or enjoying playdates. She always found creative ways to keep her engaged and helped nurture her independence in the most thoughtful ways.
Selma is more than a nanny—she became part of our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. She brings not only experience and reliability, but a genuine love that shines through in everything she does.

Pema is an incredible asset to any family. She radiates warmth with a bright smile and calm demeanor that immediately resonated with our daughter. Pema is fun, imaginative, highly communicative and organized and she manages to balance soft kindness with firmness and structure. Pema and our daughter are always having fun together, constantly playing, giggling and truly enjoying one another's company. We were particularly impressed with Pema's proactivity in organizing our daughter's schedule, arranging play dates, trips to art galleries or museums, she has a finger on the pulse of new and interesting spaces for kids and is always befriending other nannies within our community and making new connections. Pema is an exceptional communicator, she sends daily picture updates of what they've been up to. Our daughter arrives home each evening in a wonderful mood. Pema is also a safe and confident driver, which we found very helpful in taking the children to various activities, and school pick up. Pema is incredibly trustworthy and as a mother herself she's sensitive, loving and deeply adores children. Pema came highly recommended through friends of ours and has been a joy to work with for the past 12 months, sadly with Kindergarten beginning in the fall, we have to now say goodbye. Pema has been an undeniable asset to our family and we know she will be to yours. We feel strongly about helping her find another wonderful, loving family and are happy to chat anytime to answer any additional questions. She's looking for a full time role to commence immediately.

Tash is incredible and any family would be so lucky to have her. After three wonderful years with our family, she is ready for her next opportunity as our daughter begins school. We’re excited to help her connect with a new loving family where she can continue doing what she does best and loves—caring for young children with warmth, care, and expertise.
Tash is:

• Reliable — on time, communicative, and consistent.
• Warm, loving, patient
• Fully attentive — never on her phone when with our daughter
• Engaged and energetic — she plans playdates, prioritizes park time, plans library outings
• Tidy and respectful — Tash does all baby/child related chores including laundry, tidying toys, preparing nutritious snacks and meals, cleaning toys, etc.
• She sings, practices letters/numbers/colors, when our daughter was a baby she got her active and moving to help her meet her developmental milestones
• She has experience with infants through preschoolers
• She’s incredibly responsible, and safety-conscious
Tash has been incredibly easy to work with — offering her expertise when asked but never overstepping. She has exceptional interpersonal skills and judgement. She is looking for a full-time role starting in mid-August or early-September. If you are looking for someone who will become a steady, thoughtful, and loving presence in your child’s daily life, I truly can’t recommend her enough. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to speak further—I’d be happy to answer any questions or share more about our experience.

Parent Reference
Liliana cared for our baby Noah who is now 16 months old for 7 months until he started daycare and she was absolutely exceptional. We didn't want him to start daycare when he was 5 months so Liliana was a big help for us during those months until her turned 1. She is so dependable, warm, and has such a calming presence, Noah adores her. She helped him progress with sitting and crawling. She spent a lot of time singing and reading to him. Even now once in a while when she has time she helps on a weekend or evening to take care of Noah and he loves loves loves her.
My husband and I would have loved to continue with Liliana but Noah had been admitted after waiting a year to a very selective daycare. Deferring admission would have moved us to back of the wait list.
While caring for him, Liliana prepared all his food, kept everything related to him clean and organized. She also helped with light tidying around the apartment. She mostly speaks Spanish but understands some English. I don't speak Spanish but I was able to communicate with her using basic English and when that was not enough using one of the many instant translation apps there are. My husband speaks Spanish but he was always at work so I interacted with her 95% of the time with no issues. I even got to learn some Spanish which was a big plus for me.
We were so grateful to find her when we were desperate for a nanny and she was able to find another family after Noah for a few months but now that baby is also starting daycare so she is looking for another family. We recommended her to them and they are absolutely happy but also sad that their baby has to start daycare and can't be cared by Liliana anymore. I know that family would be more than happy to provide a second amazing recommendation of Liliana also.

Parent Reference
Sil is wonderful caretaker and a collaborative partner to us in providing care for our daughter.
Sil is great with newborns and is a terrific source of support in those early hectic days. Sil joined us in November 2020, in the height of the Covid pandemic. At that time, our daughter, who was born prematurely, was still quite small and vulnerable. Sil diligently followed the detailed schedule of every 2 hour feedings, giving supplements, thawing breast milk, giving baths, and putting down for naps. She was a loving presence; she talked, sang, gave massages, cuddled and rocked. As I returned to full time work, she helped with everything from making sure I stayed hydrated and washing pumping equipment.
Sil is active and hands-on. She is extremely creative, and loves to work on art and crafts, do puzzles, and tell stories. And she is great about finding activities and making connections. She makes walks to the supermarket, pharmacy, or the neighborhood chickens into fun learning opportunities. She developed a relationship with the child librarian who kept her abreast of all the activities. As a result, our daughter was a regular participant in everything, from storytime to kid yoga.
Sil is patient, kind, and accommodating, implementing a wide variety of strategies to help our daughter feel comfortable and take part in her activities. Together, they have successfully navigated art, ballet, gymnastics, and birthday parties.
As we prepare for full-time school in the next few months, thinking about saying goodbye to Sil is bittersweet; we’ll miss having her around every day, but she has been instrumental in us getting to this point.

I am writing to strongly recommend our nanny Edith. Edith has been with us for over three years and has become an integral part of our family. She started with us to care for our toddler and infant, and she has seamlessly transitioned from caring for our two young children to nurturing our now three children. Edith fiercely loves our children, creates community in the neighborhood, and keeps our children safe. She is attentive to our children's needs and to ours. Edith has rarely asked for time away, and when she does, she will try to accommodate our schedule and children's needs as best as she can. We are sad to part ways with Edith, but we will be moving out of the city, which is too far for her to commute. If she could commute to our future home, we would keep her.

It is my honor to enthusiastically recommend Verena Awaye as a Nanny. Verena has been with our family for the last 4 years. My kids are ages 4 and 2, and she has been with us since our oldest was 4 months old. We are moving out of NYC this summer, which is why Verena will be available and is looking for a new position. Verena is loving, supportive, caring, and reliable.
Love - It is obvious to see how much Verena loves my children. From the moment she started working with us, my kids have loved her and gravitated towards her. Almost immediately after starting, my kids would smile whenever she came over each morning...and every day since!! Her love for kids is obvious, and evident throughout all that she has done for my kids for the last 4 years.
Development - As first time parents we were learning on the go, and Verena's considerable experience and deep knowledge of child development and infant care became an invaluable resource to us.
Education - Reading to the children is very important to Verena. Everyday she reads many books to the children. She has taught them how to pronounce words, she has helped them with their ABCs, and explained the meaning of new words to them.
Meals - Verena made home-cooked baby food and purees from scratch for my kids. She cooks delicious meals for my children, and is always teaching and reinforcing good manners and how to be polite and respectful during meals.
Reliability - Verena is incredibly reliable. In four years, she has never arrived late to our home in the morning. Additionally, I can count on one hand the number of unplanned sick days off that she took (and those are because my kids were the cause of her being sick). She was always very flexible and willing to stay late or work extra time if needed.
Play - Verena has worked in Brooklyn for many years and knows several neighborhoods quite well. She is proactive at finding playdates, activities and story time for my kids. Additionally, she takes the kids out to the playground as much as possible, and is always incredibly attentive when they are playing outside.
We will miss her very much; We know that Verena will be an amazing addition to your family. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested!

Parent Reference
We are privileged to have had Johanna as our nanny and a member of our family for over 12 years. During this time, Johanna helped us raise our three kids (17-year-old twin son and daughter (since they were 5) and our 12-year-old daughter from birth). She was equally skilled in the infant, toddler, preschool, kid and teen stages and has forged independent relationships with each of our children that have been critical to their development and well-being.
Johanna has been responsible for all aspects of childcare including cooking healthy and family-friendly meals, bathing, nap schedules, school drop-offs, homework and doctors’ appointments. She shuttled our three kids (and their friends) all over the five boroughs and for various activities. Johanna has worn many hats over the years to make our lives easier -- from meal planning to homework helper to laundry to neighborhood errands. She is also a master Lego builder, board game player, motivator, sports game referee, baker, hair and clothing stylist, closet organizer and shopper.
While we have always partnered to set reasonable and consistent routines and expectations for our kids, Johanna has always implemented our plans respectfully. She has impeccable instincts and judgment and can be firm when needed but also knows just when a spontaneous ice cream outing is called for. She also often communicated with our children’s teachers on our behalf and is the best class trip chaperone!
Johanna is incredibly responsible, trustworthy and hard-working while also being fun and caring. She is a very warm person and is easy to be with. She traveled with our family many times, lived with us during the summers and bonded with our children’s grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She is also super friendly and outgoing. She organized individual and group playdates and made sure our kids had a good mix of socialization and downtime. Our children’s friends (and their parents) were always happy to see Johanna at pick up and were thrilled to have Johanna supervising playdates at our home or at the playground.
During the time that Johanna has worked with us, I have been a stay-at-home mom, a mom that worked part-time from home and a mom that worked out of the home and Johanna has been able to navigate each of these situations comfortably. When I am home, we divide and conquer childcare and household needs and when I am at work or traveling, I have tremendous confidence that Johanna has everything under control and most importantly that my children are safe, well-cared for and loved. Whether we were making baby food together, packing the kids for a vacation or sleepaway camp, organizing after-school schedules or comforting a child after a tough day at school, we are truly a team.
Johanna is a gem, and any family would be beyond lucky to have her care for their children. I simply cannot say enough in a few paragraphs about Johanna and what she has meant (and continues to mean) to our entire family. Please contact me at any time for additional information.

After 5 years working with Cita we are moving out of NYC, and want to help find her an awesome new family to take care of. We cannot recommend her enough!! Cita has been exactly what our family needed - guiding us through parenthood with our first born and helping to build harmony around the house as we welcomed our second. Cita started when our (now) kindergartner was 8 months old, and within the last year she has seamlessly expanded her duties to care for our infant son who just turned 1. Our 5 year old daughter can be sassy and bossy, but we get SO many compliments from other parents and teachers who meet her about how honest, well-mannered, and interactive she is. We attribute a lot of this to Cita and how she has helped raise her over the years. Our daughter has made several friends around the neighborhood through Cita, as she has organized playdates (including trips to places like Coney Island, or Central Park) with other nannies and kids her age. Our daughter has severe allergies to multiple foods and she travels around the city with Cita to school + medical appointments daily/weekly. We trust Cita 100% to look out for our kids and keep them safe. Our 12 month old lights up whenever Cita comes in the room first thing in the morning. She sings to him, talks to him constantly, takes him to the library for story time and the park, and enjoys mat time with him. They are so happy together, and I can tell Cita is really in her element taking care of him. She is like an extended part of our family, and has relationships with my mom (she facetimes the grandparents sometimes on her own so the kids can say "Hi"). Cita also recently came to our daughter's ballet recital on her day off just to support her. Cita is reliable - on time, hardly misses a day of work, and flexible if you're running late or need her to start early once in a while. I'm happy to talk with you further if you're interested! Shoot me a text or email.

We’re moving out of the city and sadly parting ways with our incredible nanny, Kami, who has been with our family for the past 5 years. She’s helped raise our two daughters (now 3 and 5) and has been with us since my oldest was just 4 months old. Kami is deeply caring, patient, and experienced – truly a part of our family – and we’re hoping to help her find a wonderful new family to work with.
Kami played such a pivotal role in our early parenting years: from reading and singing to the girls, to guiding us through every stage – potty training, transitioning to solids, and all the daily routines of caring for little ones. She’s proactive, dependable, and has a natural bond with children. She’s also great at arranging playdates and keeping the kids socially engaged, which has been a huge help!
My girls absolutely adore her, and any family would be lucky to have her warmth and experience. She’s available starting as early as mid August.

We are moving out of New York, so our amazing nanny Bobita aka Bobby, is looking for her next family on the Upper East Side.
Bobby is THE sweetest, kindest, most loving nanny and treats our 18-month-old daughter like her own. She cooks all of her meals, keeps everything clean and organized, does all of her laundry, bathes her, plays with her, reads to her, and takes her on walks, playdates, to the playground, and classes, etc. Bobby is so responsible and attentive. We don't have to worry at all when our daughter is in her hands - we know that she is so well taken care of!
Our daughter absolutely loves Bobby and is at her happiest when she sees her walking through the door in the mornings. She has such an amazing energy and spirit, and it's easy to see how much she enjoys taking care of children. She's just a pleasure to be around.
We are so sad that our time with Bobby is coming to an end, but we want to find her a wonderful next family! She is a very experienced nanny, who came to us with the most glowing references from all of her former families. The only reason they couldn't keep Bobby on as a nanny is because they were also moving out of state.
Bobby will be with us through our move out on August 1. She is looking for a full-time position taking care of ONE infant or toddler 14 months or younger on the Upper East Side. If that sounds like the right fit, please reach out to her at 347-923-1048.

Our amazing nanny GG will be available this August, and we wholeheartedly recommend her!
She’s been with our family for a year and a half, caring for our 4.5 and 3-year-old children with calm, confidence, and joy. From day one, the kids bonded with her instantly - it felt like they had known her forever. Watching them laugh and play together as a happy team led by GG has been truly special.
GG is incredibly punctual, reliable, and organized. She lives on the UES and was never late or unavailable. We can’t recall a time she missed a day unexpectedly. The only rare request? Leaving early to catch a Broadway show - her one big passion (along with Disney, which the kids adore!).
She’s also a fantastic photographer, capturing the sweetest daily moments. Thanks to her, we have a treasure trove of beautiful photos and always felt connected to our kids’ day.
We are so grateful for her and will miss her dearly. Please feel free to contact us for a reference or more details!

It is with immense gratitude—and no small amount of sadness—that I share this recommendation for our extraordinary nanny, Magdalena. As our family prepares to relocate this summer, we must part ways with someone who has become not only an integral part of our daily lives, but also a true member of our family.
Magdalena has been with us since our son Sebi was just three months old. Over the past three years, she has helped raise him with unwavering love, care, and intention. It’s difficult to put into words just how transformative her presence has been—not just for Sebi, but for us as new parents. From day one, Magdalena has been everything we could have hoped for in a caregiver: deeply nurturing, exceptionally reliable, endlessly patient, and completely trustworthy. She brings her whole heart to this work, and it shows in every interaction.
Sebi absolutely lights up when she walks through the door (always on time), and their days together have been filled with joy, structure, learning, and adventure. From early stroller walks to hours spent at playgrounds, sprinklers, museums, libraries, and the zoo, Magdalena has created a vibrant, stimulating, and loving world for Sebi to grow up in. She also fostered a beautiful community of fellow nannies and children, many of whom are now Sebi’s closest friends.
In addition to organizing daily outings and playdates, Magdalena prepares delicious meals and has consistently supported Sebi through every stage—from introducing solids and establishing routines to toilet training and navigating toddler emotions. She does it all with calm confidence and warmth, while always reinforcing strong values and gentle manners through her own example.
Magdalena has been especially invaluable to me as a first-time mother. I was incredibly anxious about returning to work, but knowing Sebi was in Magdalena’s capable hands made that transition not only possible, but seamless. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, and has continued to be a constant source of reassurance and a true partnership.
She is flexible with nights and weekends, an excellent communicator, and incredibly easy to work with. She knows the UWS and UES well but is open to families across Manhattan. Magdalena would ideally love to work with a newborn again, but has experience with children of all ages. She is fluent in Spanish and communicates well in English.
For the past three years, Magdalena has cared for Sebi with wisdom, grace, and an unmatched sense of devotion. Watching the bond between them grow has been a joy. Our son adores her, and so do we. Magdalena is truly sunshine—any family would be beyond fortunate to welcome her into their lives.
I would be absolutely thrilled to speak further and answer any questions you may have about Magdalena. It is rare to find someone like her.

I am writing to highly recommend Hazel as a nanny. She has been with our family for the past year and has been caring for our daughter since she was just 3 months old. In that time, we have come to rely on her as a trusted member of our family and a dedicated and loving caregiver for our daughter. Unfortunately, we will be moving out of NYC soon, so we will no longer require Hazel’s services.
Hazel has a natural ability to connect with children (especially babies) and create a warm and nurturing environment for them. She is patient, kind, and always goes above and beyond to make sure that our daughter is safe, happy, and well-cared for.
One of the things that impressed us most about Hazel is her ability to adapt and be flexible to our ever-changing schedule. She is always willing to work around our schedule, including staying late or arriving early to provide an extra set of hands when my husband or I am traveling for work. She is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our daughter is well taken care of.
Hazel's ability to connect with our child is truly remarkable, and she has been instrumental in helping her develop and grow in her first year. Hazel has helped her to reach her milestones, and she has also been a great support to me as a first-time parent and adjusting to being a working mother. We will all miss so many things about her!
Overall, I cannot recommend Hazel highly enough as a nanny. She is a truly exceptional individual, and I have no doubt that she will be an asset to any family that is lucky enough to have her care for their children.

It is with the greatest pleasure and confidence that we recommend Aretha for a full time nanny position starting in August 2025. She has been a truly exceptional nanny for our family, caring for our 2-year-old daughter over the past year.
From the very beginning, Aretha impressed us with her warm demeanor and unwavering dedication. She is dependable, trustworthy, and always brings a sense of calm into our home. She has been such an important part of our family, providing a steady, loving presence in our child’s life. Our child absolutely adores her, and it is easy to see why - she is endlessly patient, engaging, and supportive in every interaction.
Aretha consistently goes above and beyond with child care. She helped integrate our daughter into play groups and made her some very fast friends. She takes great joy in celebrating holidays or special events, making sure our daughter feels the specialness of the occasion. As newcomers to New York, Aretha helped direct us towards fun and educational activities that helped our daughter flourish. She understands children’s emotional and developmental needs, and it shows in the way she nurtures and supports our daughter every single day. Our child's growing confidence, knowledge, independence, and happiness during Aretha’s time with us has been remarkable.
Aretha is incredibly reliable and dependable, taking on long hours while we balanced our busy work schedules. She independently takes care of chores such as our daughter’s laundry, healthy meal prep, and packing for travel or important events. Whether we had late shifts at work - or just needed a date night to ourselves - Aretha was there to back us up. We never had to worry about our daughter when life got complicated, because Aretha was there.
We were incredibly lucky to have found someone as special as Aretha, and we are deeply grateful for the care and love she has provided. Any family would be fortunate to have work with her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Please feel free to contact us if you would like further information.

Our wonderful nanny, Cheryl, is looking for a new family. She has 20+ years of experience and excellent references.
Cheryl is a deeply attentive and engaging caregiver who truly connects with children. She’s playful, talkative, and always finds opportunities to teach and nurture. Unlike many, she’s never on her phone — her full focus is always on the kids.
Cheryl has been with our family for three years, caring for our three children (now ages 1 to 6), and we couldn’t be happier. Under her care, we’ve watched them thrive, learn, and grow in so many ways.
She’s always eager to take them outside, prepares delicious meals, and leaves our home spotless. Cheryl is also incredibly punctual, reliable, and professional. Any family would be lucky to have her!
If you're interested, please contact Cheryl directly. I would also be happy to chat and share more about our experience (please contact me by email or WhatsApp only - text will not work while we are away for the summer).

Our nanny, Winnie, is looking for a new role at the end of the summer. She has been a wonderful presence in our lives joining at the start of 2021 when our eldest son was nearly a year old. She helped greatly with the birth and care of our daughter who was born two years later. She has treated our children with kindness and love for over four years and helped them grow into happy, healthy children.
Winnie has helped the children grow and develop, organizing playdates, finding community activities as well as ensuring the kids are intellectually stimulated with age-appropriate play, music and reading. She has taken the effort to connect with other care-givers in the neighborhood, ensuring that the kids have a rich and fulfilling social experiences with their peers as well.
Winnie has helped keep the children healthy with her homemade smoothies and wonderful Jamaican food (I'm a big fan), developed their skills, taking the children to various extracurriculars activities such as soccer and dance, and has been a great source of flexible childcare for dinners out and trips.
I have no reservations in recommending Winnie as an experienced, patient, loving caregiver.

Our wonderful nanny, Aleia, is looking for full-time employment beginning this summer. We first met Aleia in 2017 when she was working in her first job as a teacher at our older son's daycare, where her warmth and skill with children immediately impressed us. When we needed childcare for our baby, we knew she would be perfect for our family.
Aleia has been caring for both of our children since 2020 and has been absolutely fantastic. She's energetic, and has a special talent for working with babies and toddlers. Her patience seems endless, and she brings positive energy to our home.
What sets Aleia apart is how engaged she is with children. She's constantly thinking of new activities, whether it's trips to the playground, library story time, or playdates at home. She keeps us well-informed throughout the day with updates and photos but she is careful to avoid using her phone in front of the kids.
Aleia has been reliable and flexible. She rarely takes time off, is almost never sick, and has been more than willing to accommodate our changing schedules when work demands require it. She's also open to occasional travel with a family if needed.
We're genuinely sad to lose Aleia, but both of our children have reached ages where they no longer need the same level of care. We cannot recommend her highly enough - any family would be lucky to have someone so dedicated, caring, and naturally gifted with children.

Parent Reference
Sattie has been working for our family for a while now - initially looking after my second son until he started preschool and then looking after my youngest. We are now moving overseas for an extended period which is why I would love to find Sattie a new family to join who will love her as we have.
Sattie is kind, loving, generous and adores children. My middle son, who does not naturally take to most people, has loved her from the moment she entered our house. The baby squeels and kicks and flaps excitedly as soon as he hears the doorbell in the morning. Even my oldest, who is neurodivergent, trusts her and feels safe with her.
Importantly, whenever Sattie walks in the door, it's like a huge weight is lifted from me. She is such an amazing carer for the kids, but she also looks after me, doing little things to help out whenever she can, just to make my life a bit easier (I have 3 busy boys).
Over the time that Sattie has worked for us, she has been reliable, on time, flexible with our chaotic lives and always happy to take direction. She prepared my son for preschool by practicing letters, and numbers, reading to him every day, doing arts and crafts and teaching him some Spanish. She speaks Spanish to the baby as well and reads to him every day, structuring his day around learning and fun. With both kids, she has always taken them out every day to let them get fresh air and exercise and find them little friends to meet with regularly at the playground.
Sattie communicates everything clearly about my kids' day. She is a miracle-worker at getting them to nap in the day (far better than his parents) and helped out with toilet-training my middle son. I would whole-heartedly recommend Sattie as a nannie and would be happy to answer any other questions.

Siv was our nanny for a decade. She started with us when my son was just a month old and stayed with us through my daughter's birth and until they were in the 4th and 6th grades. To this day, we consider her part of the family and check in with her regularly. We eventually moved away from the city but my kids, now grown, still take Siv to lunch when they visit New York. Siv is EXCELLENT with babies, toddlers, and school aged kids. She is extremely careful, attentive, and loving.....is literally like a 2nd mother in the best way. She always shows up on time. Very reliable and flexible. Would stay late when we needed. I saw all my friends in the city rotate through so many nannies that didn't work out. But, we only had one and she was the absolute best. I recommend highly and am happy to talk to anyone interested in hiring her.

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 any family, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything further.

Tshering is a gem of a nanny - the kind parents come up to you at the playground to tell you how great she is! We wanted to find a nanny that was not only reliable and trustworthy, but also incredibly playful, engaging, resourceful, intelligent, and kind - and we found all that and more in Tshering. She's joyful and engaging with children, engaging them constantly throughout the day with fun chatter and conversations, silly games, made up activities from every day items, and adventures out of the house to the playground or classes. She's empathetic and kind with babies and toddlers especially, helping them through frustrations, getting them to play safely and thoughtfully with other kids, and adjusting her approach based on their needs. She's also so educational with them, teaching our kids letters and numbers in multiple languages much earlier than I thought possible! She's a true parenting partner, endlessly helpful and thoughtful in supporting our family's needs (from tidying to meal prep to kid organization to activities) but most notably in truly sharing in love for the children to nurture them and help them grow.
We've worked with Tshering for 4.5 years full-time and we'd love for her to find a wonderful new family. She's available 3 days/week (she's working with a former family 2 days/week but is flexible on what days), ideally hours 8-4 or 9-5 in Manhattan and Queens. We couldn't recommend her more!

Our nanny Triph is looking for work with newborn to elementary school-aged kids starting in August. Triph has been working with us for 22 years, since my youngest daughter was born. She is extremely reliable, always shows up on time, plans playdates and trips to the park, and managed my three children all by herself.
Over the years, we have gotten to know Triph quite well. She goes beyond her job description because she truly cares for my children and enjoys spending time with them. For years I have been coming home to them all around the dinner table laughing and having fun. Triph is a kind and gregarious person who loves to make friends with other kids and their nannies. Our children would not have had as many playdates and trips around the city with friends or our beloved neighbors without Triph.
Triph has also been working with another family part time for over six years, and she takes care of everything from school pick-ups and drop-offs to cooking, helping with homework, and all the little things in between. This family shared that Triph’s “punctuality, loving nature, extreme patience, and overall thoughtfulness have made her an invaluable part of our daily lives.”
Any family would be lucky to have Triph working with your children. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

We write to provide an enthusiastic reference on behalf of our caregiver, Kuenzang, as she seeks a new position following a change in our family’s needs.
Kuenzang has provided diligent and caring support for our two sons (now aged 6 and 11) and our family since early 2023.
Immediately when she first began working with us, Kuenzang shone in her ability to jump into the hustle and bustle of our lives, keeping up and bonding with our energetic, then pre-school aged youngest child. Since that time she has supported our sons, particularly our youngest as he developed, helping him form new friendships through play dates, learn to cope with challenging situations, engaging in play and activities with them, and ensuring his safety as he moves about the City.
We could at length recite all the ways in which Kuenzang has supported our family, both during the school year and over summer breaks, including time spent outside the City. She has been consistently on time and has always helped with drop offs and after school, with laundry and keeping our home tidy, making sure that appointments are kept, backpacks are packed in the morning, that meals are prepared, and that little ones are well fed, bathed, and ready for bed at night. In all these things she has demonstrated a willingness to support our children in all these ways that life demands and to approach the inevitable organized chaos of raising children in New York with a uniquely calm and understanding demeanor.
We have each lived in Manhattan for decades, and have been raising children here, on the Upper West Side, for nearly a dozen years. From all this learned experience we fully understand the particular needs and challenges that families face in finding the right caregiver, and likewise the importance for exceptional caregivers in finding the right family for them. We are hopeful that in reading our letter you will gain confirmation of your first impressions upon meeting Kuenzang and consider her as an excellent caregiver for your own children.

Evelyne is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to our family, aside from our beautiful daughter that she cares for. She met our daughter Jules when she was four months old, and has given the most thoughtful and loving care to her for over two years. Our family is moving to Maine, otherwise we would sincerely never part with Evelyne! From the moment we met her, the confidence in her abilities and loving care with children was so evident we stopped looking. Add that she is a kind and respectful human, and it was an easy choice for us because that’s someone we want our daughter to learn from.
Evelyne has a plan for every day with Jules, whether she was six months old or 2 1/2 years old... They’re always singing, reading, laughing, doing art, building, or playing. They made French toast together this morning for breakfast! Even when Jules was a baby, you could hear Evelyne talking to her, singing songs and reading. They will go outside every day rain or shine and will take on any adventure at the park, playground, zoo, library, botanical garden, you name it. Evelyne would independently find different activities, classes, and friends and ask if we’d be interested in having Jules participate (always yes!) or if it was ok to have a playdate over. She spends time teaching Jules letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc on top of everything else and it has been such a fun surprise to see how much she has learned at her age! Evelyne goes above and beyond in caregiving because she cares as much as we do in doing an amazing job raising a child. We also have two cats, and one makes sure to always hang out around Jules and Evelyne for gentle pets when they’re around. Even they feel the magic from her!
Evelyne teaches kindness and respect to Jules, and also follows that herself. She is early every single day, communicates to align how we want to navigate parenting situations (feeding, potty training, taming a toddler...), and genuinely makes life with a baby/toddler/kid easier and better. My husband and I both depend on her for so much more than just being a nanny. She has so much experience with children (including two of her own in college!) and it is clear that she loves being a nanny and she takes more pride in her work than anyone I know. Evelyne is such a sense of calm in our house, especially as new parents trying to figure everything out. Evelyne will be a part of our family forever, and we are so incredibly blessed by how she has helped shape and teach Jules and us. A very lucky family will get to experience this for themselves and reccomending her is one of the easiest parts of our transition.

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Amanda, who has worked as a full-time nanny for our family since February 2025 and will continue until July 2025. We are moving states in July to care for a family member and it is with great regret that we are unable to continue our partnership with Amanda.
Amanda cared for our daughter, Sophia, starting when she was just 7 months old. Amanda is an exceptional nanny whose warmth, experience, and intuitive care made an incredible difference during an important time in our family’s life.
One of Amanda’s many strengths is her thoughtful approach to early childhood development, especially when it came to introducing solids. She did a wonderful job gently and enthusiastically guiding Sophia through this important stage—offering a wide variety of homemade foods, vegetables, and balanced meals. Her creativity and care made mealtimes enjoyable and stress-free, and we were consistently impressed by her knowledge and patience throughout the process.
Amanda also brought joy and social enrichment to Sophia’s days. She knows the area extremely well and always had a plan for fun, age-appropriate outings—from daily swings at the park to trips to the butterfly exhibit and the Central Park Zoo. Amanda also created meaningful play experiences at home, like dyeing Easter eggs and introducing age-appropriate toys that supported Sophia’s development. Thanks to her, Sophia had a rich blend of learning, exploration, and social interaction.
When Sophia experienced her first illness—a fever and cold—we were naturally nervous as first-time parents. Amanda guided us through it with calm and confidence. She knew exactly which products to buy, how to soothe and comfort Sophia, and when to escalate if necessary. Her support and clear judgment during that time were invaluable and deeply reassuring.
Most importantly, Amanda fosters a loving and joyful environment. From day one, she formed a genuine bond with Sophia. Our home was filled with music, laughter, and warmth, and it was always clear how happy and secure Sophia felt in her presence. Watching Sophia light up when Amanda walked through the door was a daily reminder of the love and trust they shared.
We are so grateful for the time Amanda spent with our family. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their child’s life, and I give her my highest recommendation without reservation.
