We couldn’t list all the reasons we love our nanny Angie. She’s been with us 2+ years caring for our now 5 and 3-year-olds. Angie has become part of our family and things have really been effortless having her around. As full time working parents, coming home to happy & fed toddlers and a tidy home has helped alot.
With 25+ years of experience, every family has glowing things to say about her, including ours. She’s never called out sick, always on time, and keeps our kids safe, happy, fed and entertained. She does arts and crafts, daily outings to the playground/library/museum, organizes playdates, and reads with them. She keeps the house and play areas spotless and handles all the kids’ laundry. Angie truly has the magic touch. Our younger son had refused bottles early on, but she able to work her magic with feeding and putting them down for naps. Even today, she’s the only one who is able to put our 3 year old down for nap (without crying and screaming).
Angie mainly speaks Spanish, and both our kids are now bilingual.
Starting Sept 1, she’s seeking a full-time, live-out role (ideally 8am–5pm with flexibility). She’s experienced with newborns, infants, and toddlers, and prefers a family with 1–2 kids. We’re so sad to part ways, but her next family will be incredibly lucky!
As my little one starts school this fall, I wanted to share a wholehearted Our incredible nanny, Kaela, will be available for a full-time position starting in August or September.
Kaela has been with us since my son was just two months old, and over the past few years she has become an irreplaceable part of our family. She supported us through some very challenging moments, including two surgeries during his first year, and her calm, nurturing presence during his recovery made all the difference.
The bond she shares with our son is truly special. He has thrived under her care, happy, confident, and so well loved. Neighbours in NoHo often stop us to comment on how wonderful she is with him. Kaela is warm, intuitive, and deeply engaged. She is also extremely skilled at helping children meet developmental milestones, while ensuring they stay on a schedule that works for the family.
Dependable and flexible, Kaela handles both routine and the unexpected with ease. She takes initiative, follows instructions thoughtfully, and has been remarkable at adapting when unforeseen events shift our schedule. She has also been amazing with our very energetic Vizsla (no small feat!), and fully embraces our outdoorsy lifestyle.
She’s been the perfect addition to our family, and I know she would be to yours.
Paola has been with us since November 2024 and has worked with a family in our previous building in Upper West side previously. We are looking to help her find her next family as our son will start daycare and we will no longer have the hours for her.
She is one of the kindest, most caring caretakers, who goes above and beyond to make sure our 1 year old son and 5 year old daughter are well looked after. They love her. She actively engages our son in a wide variety of age-appropriate activities, most often takes him in local playgrounds (daily), libraries, museums, weekly visits to Central Park zoo and is very capable of providing sensory playing and early motor skills development. In addition to watching our son, changing him, reading/playing with him and feeding throughout the day, she ensures pick up and drop off for our daughter every day, and cleans up after them and before she leaves for the night.
She is not only reliable and trustworthy but also genuinely invested in my kids growth and well-being, making her an invaluable part of our family.
It is with great pleasure that I recommend our nanny, Sharda, who has been an integral part of our family for the past 11 years (including two years as our live-in nanny). She is a special woman that is exceptional skills in her craft. She is dedicated, proud, fun, tolerant and is an excellent nanny to any child or children. Below are a few reflections on what has made her such a perfect fit for our family. I will always make myself available to provide further insight if needed.
Our family’s evolving situation over the years: Sharda started working with us (five days a week) after my wife’s maternity leave in January 2012. At the time, we lived in an apartment at 82nd & Amsterdam in New York City. We are a dual income household and needed frequent coverage for client breakfasts, dinners and travel. In January 2016, we welcomed another son, Theodore, into the world. In 2020 we spent a few months out of the city on covid lockdown in a remote location in Westchester County. Sharda commuted to support us. In July 2021, we decided to relocate full time to Westchester County. Sharda agreed to become our live-in nanny arriving Monday and departing after the boys had been fed on Thursday night. In 2024, my wife and I decided to separate. As the boys are older now (aged 9 and 11), our care needs have shifted and we are going to see if we can make things work with an au pair. I imagine we are in for a rude awakening.
Infant stages: One of Sharda’s most incredible talents is how effortlessly she kept our babies happy and healthy. She was in tune with their every movement and bustled about tending to their needs with warm bottles, naps and excursions to the park before they could even anticipate their own desires. She spoke directly with the babies constantly, which helped with their language development. She spent a lot of time on the floor patiently and proudly letting them build with blocks, complete puzzles or monitor them as they navigated the environment. The kids were always clean with fresh diapers, laundered clothes, rested and fed. I felt fairly on top of my game as a new Dad, but this was black belt level. Sharda would often encourage us to have more babies, which was well beyond our caretaking capabilities, but certainly not beyond hers. I remember as first time parents, we bought a couple books on potty training and did our best to help our boys figure it out. We did not get anywhere with it. We asked for her help. The next day, when I came back from work, the boy was fully potty trained. He never went back to diapers and never wet his bed. She could probably make a great living just potty training toddlers.
Pre-school years: Sharda takes a lot of pride in making sure our boys are well mannered and well behaved. She gives them feedback and gently scolds them if they were not doing the right thing. As a result, our boys played fairly with others and showed up well at school. They have wonderful friends and values. During this period, Sharda was proactive in connecting with other nannies and moms to coordinate play dates. She is punctual and reliable and our boys were never late for school or left wondering where she was at the end of the day. She is not a pushover. She is sweet and loving but if the boys are not listening or doing what she says, she makes sure she has their attention and they hear her. These values help drive our boys’ success in relationships with their peers and adults, in school and on the playing fields.
Elementary school years: Our boys have an active life with tennis, basketball, flag football and many other commitments. As a live-in nanny over the last two years, Sharda has been an integral part of our family driving them to all those appointments on time with the right gear (water bottles, uniforms, footwear) and safely. Sharda is an outstanding driver (slow and safe). She is incredibly organized and tidy. You know she has been in the kitchen because the countertops are clean and the dishes are done and there is leftover food neatly packed and stacked in Tupperware containers. She stays ahead of the boys never-ending loads of laundry to make sure they always have fresh clothes for the next school day. She brings a peaceful vibe to our home and is a wonderful cook. When I fell ill earlier this week, she prepared a delightfully nourishing chicken soup with corn noodles, which was incredibly healing.
Sharda’s impact on our family has been profound, and her influence will resonate with our boys throughout their lives. We are lucky to have found her and are immensely grateful for the years we spent together. Her kindness and dedication extended beyond our immediate family, as her own family, including her sons, daughter, and husband, graciously welcomed our boys into their home for weekends at her home in Jamaica. We deeply appreciate Sharda’s unwavering commitment and the love she bestowed upon our family. She is dearly missed.
I’m posting on behalf of our wonderful former nanny, Patricia Joseph (or *Ms. Pat* as we lovingly call her). She worked with our family in Long Island City until we moved to the Midwest and was truly exceptional—reliable, kind, energetic, and caring.
Ms. Pat started with us when our first daughter was 6 months old and quickly built a strong bond. With nearly 30 years of experience, she helped us through each stage of parenting. When our second daughter was born, she managed both a toddler and newborn with ease.
Now, Ms. Pat is seeking a new position in Long Island City, Brooklyn, or Manhattan, and can start immediately. She has worked for past families (including us) in Long Island City so she knows LIC well, but can adapt to any neighborhood! Every family she’s worked for has adored her, and she was with the family before us for five years.
She’s punctual, energetic, and has excellent communication skills. We trusted her completely, and the next family will be lucky to have her!
Feel free to reach out to Ms. Pat directly at 929-365-7162 or to me at hughesm335@gmail.com for more info or a reference.
Our wonderful former nanny Veronica is looking for a new position, preferably Mondays through Thursdays from 9am-5pm and on the Upper East Side.
Veronica started with our family when our daughter was just over three months old and continued until she was almost 2. Veronica took the absolute best care of our daughter, we even had neighbors tell us how loved and well-looked after our daughter was. She is patient, kind, attentive, assertive and overall just an amazing person.
Veronica took initiative in finding activities and playdates and they spent most of the day out of the apartment bringing our daughter to classes (music, art, gym), playrooms, or the park. She was great at communicating and always sent us photos throughout the day. She made sure to spend time teaching our daughter with age-appropriate toys and reading to her. Veronica took great pride in our daughter’s development and we have her to thank for how developed our daughter’s speech is!
When our daughter was a baby, she kept a daily log of how long she napped for and how much milk she consumed. She also helped so much with the transition to solid food. Veronica is incredibly clean and neat. She did all of our daughter’s laundry and kept her stroller in impeccable condition. She even helped a little around the house, making sure it was always tidy.
Any family would be lucky to have Veronica. Please reach out to me with any questions!
She is a hardworking caregiver who is very independent and can handle many chores at home without needing direction. She was a wonderful caregiver to our now 18 month old and we are moving so she is looking for her new family.
We can’t sing enough praises of Rachelle. She is absolutely amazing as a nanny, but much more than that she is an amazing person with a big heart. For over 3 years since our daughter was just 3 months old, we have found in Rachelle not just an excellent caregiver we can fully trust but also a dear friend. With our daughter starting school this fall, parting ways with Rachelle will be a major growing pain for us all.
With many years of nanny experience and as a mother of 3 beautiful children of her own, Rachelle is reliable, safe, energetic, respectful, hygienic, and caring to no end. In the newborn months she was not only the perfect caregiver to our baby but also a gentle yet dependable support for the nervous new parents that we were. As the baby grew, Rachelle helped us through milestones small and big, celebrating each one as she would her own child’s. She has formed a very special bond with not just our daughter but with our whole family — a deep friendship we very much look forward to maintaining for years to come.
Rachelle befriends other kids and their caretakers with such grace, which means play dates are a daily routine for my daughter. Rachelle is also a phenomenal cook. Going from breastfeeding through purees and BLW was a total breeze with Rachelle’s help, and now she makes all sorts of nutritious and delicious dishes for our daughter from various homemade pastas, to lamb chops, braises, congee… you name it. Exposing our child to such variety of food has been a special gift.
Rachelle’s professionalism and reliability are unmatched. She’s always 5 minutes early and never needs a reminder for the myriad classes and events. She takes our daughter all over town — to the playgrounds, the library, the botanical garden, you name it — and never fails to give us prompt updates on their whereabouts along with pictures and videos so that we never worry. Other fun bonuses: in addition to English Rachelle is also fluent in her mother tongue Tagalog as well as Mandarin, and is the queen of braids and other cute little kiddo hair-dos 🙂
Rachelle will be available for full time work in October or possibly earlier. Please feel free to reach out directly or to myself. She’s available for trials on weekends as well as the first week of September when we’re out of town.
Our exceptional nanny has cared for our daughter from 6 months to nearly 4 years old and truly has become an integral part of our family. As first-time parents, we were nervous about everything from sleep schedules and introducing solids to dealing with temper tantrums and potty training, but Anne has guided us through each milestone with incredible patience, expertise, and genuine care. She hasn’t just cared for our daughter; she mentored us as parents, helped us build confidence, and taught us so much about child development along the way.
With 18 years’ professional experience, Anne has brought a deep understanding of newborn care, developmental play, and early childhood needs that shows in everything she does. She established consistent sleep and feeding schedules that completely transformed our daily lives, and her ability to adapt her approach as our daughter grew from infant to confident preschooler is remarkable. From tummy time and sensory play as an infant to creative arts, counting, and ABC’s as a toddler, she always seems to know exactly what our daughter needed to thrive at each stage. She prepares nutritious, delicious meals that our daughter actually eats, has maintained our daughter’s health with vigilant care during illnesses, and keeps everything beautifully organized from toys to clothes to supplies. Anne also has helped integrate our daughter into our community, building relationships throughout the neighborhood, and arranging playdates to facilitate growing our daughter’s social skills. She handles transportation to and from classes and activities with such care, establishing communication with teachers and providers to update us on our daughter’s progress. Her ability to manage not just childcare but also child-related household tasks like laundry and maintaining tidy common areas has been such a gift to our busy family. She even taught my husband how to cook, sharing recipes and techniques that have become family favorites!
Anne has strong communication skills and provides regular written daily updates, but also brightens our work days with photos and videos of our daughter. She is consistently respectful of household boundaries, and her reliability over the years has been unwavering, barely taking any sick days at all. Another quality that truly sets Anne apart is her passion for continued growth and professional development; through Cornell University’s ILR Worker Institute, she completed in-person workshop series on Nanny Training & Professional Development as well as Newborn Care Nanny Training in 2024, simply to make sure she continues to practice at the top of her profession. Anne is also current with AHA Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED certification and has specialized certificates in Infant Brain Development, Positive Discipline, and Creative Play from My Nanny Circle.
Any family would be fortunate to have someone so experienced, professionally trained, reliable, warm, and naturally gifted with children. We no longer need Anne’s assistance since our daughter is going to school full time. This will be a challenging transition for us but we know she will continue to enrich the lives of the children in her care. She truly loves all the children she cares for and always keeps in touch with her prior families. We’d be happy to provide more detailed insight into her exceptional work and the positive impact she had on us. We truly cannot recommend her enough, and the family that hires her will be incredibly lucky to have her.

We recently said goodbye to our beloved nanny, Nadine, as we moved, and we’re still hoping to help her find the amazing family she deserves. She has experience working with all age groups.
Nadine is so much more than a nanny-she’s loving, proactive, and incredibly skilled at fostering a child’s growth.
She helped raise our daughter into a confident, bilingual (French/English) little girl, all while filling her days with adventure, learning, joy., and lots of outdoor time.
She sets thoughtful boundaries with patience, cooks incredible meals, and brings warmth and structure into the home. Any family would be lucky to have her—we know we were
Working with Nerisia has been an absolute dream for the last 3.5 years. Nerisia approaches every day with kindness, energy, and adventure. She is fantastic with newborns and has supported our daughter’s development from 6 weeks through all of her major milestones. She has organized her meals every day, done laundry each week for both of our kids, and has curated exciting daily adventures around New York City. She has organized a wonderful playgroup for our daughter and even arranged and decorated her birthday parties. Whether it was picnics, playdates, museums, or rainy day art activities, Nerisia has always ensured that our daughter’s day was structured and engaging.
In addition to the joy and warmth that she brings to her interactions with children, Nerisia is a real professional. She is an excellent communicator, always ensuring that we are on the same page about instilling strong values and manners in our children, and demonstrating them herself. She has gone out of her way to help educate our children, helping our first grader with homework and teaching our three-year-old her letters. In addition to being truly devoted to our children, Nerisia is also extremely thoughtful, reliable, and always on time!! Our whole family sees Nerisia and her family as a part of our own, and she will be long after she finds another family to work with, just as she continues to be in the lives of the families that she has worked with in the past.
We would be thrilled to answer any questions about Nerisia.
Our amazing nanny is looking for her next family as we are moving. She is kind, engaged, reliable, experienced but always respectful of our preferences, and has been wonderful for our son’s development. She is always on time, arranges playdates, and finds interactive experiences. She gave me so much comfort returning to work after maternity leave.
We love her and would really like to find her a good fit!
Exceptional nanny available Fall 2025
Contact Ronnie (nanny) directly at 347-357-6961 or me, Sylvia (current employer), at 646-705-1685
Our amazing nanny Ronnie, is looking for a new family to work with full-time. Ronnie is a highly experienced and dedicated nanny with over three decades of childcare expertise.
We are incredibly grateful to have her in our family, but unfortunately, due to unprecedented circumstances within our family, we are unable to continue working with her. Ronnie demonstrates an exceptional understanding of child development across various age groups and is amazing at identifying and nurturing each of our children’s individual needs. She provides a loving yet structured approach, while consistently maintaining and providing unwavering support and personalized care to both of our children, helping them reach their full potential.
Ronnie joined our family when our older son was four and our daughter was a newborn. She effectively addressed our son’s behavioral guidance needs while simultaneously managing the responsibilities of newborn care. Over the past almost 5 years, Ronnie’s expertise and commitment have significantly contributed to our family’s overall well-being. She typically establishes strong bonds and long-term relationships with the families she works with, and our family was no exception. She worked hard and patiently to help us build routines and easy-to-follow schedules that we will forever be grateful for.
Ronnie has always maintained a healthy, happy, and secure environment for our children. Whether that be making flavorful and nutritious meals, to taking great care of them when sick, we attribute our children’s consistent good health and safety to her vigilance.
Ronnie has extensive experience working throughout Manhattan, most recently in the downtown area. She built and maintained lovely, genuine relationships with parents and nannies alike throughout our neighborhood, scheduling playdates, helping our children build strong connections with their peers. Beyond transporting our children to classes, camps, and activities, she ensured their preparedness for effective participation and established communication with providers to support their progress. She also competently supervises other in-home providers, such as tutors.
Furthermore, Ronnie consistently maintains a clean and organized home environment, from the children’s rooms, toys, and supplies. Additionally, she offers helpful recommendations regarding children’s products and clothing. We are so grateful for everything Ronnie has given our family, and we truly cannot recommend her enough; the family that will hire her would be the most lucky to have her! We would be delighted to provide further insight into her exceptional work.
She is a mother of an 11 year old boy, who is lovely , smart and respectful. She is very caring and helpful with my daughter and my 88 year old mother when I need some extra help.
Davi has been with our family for over 13 years, since our oldest son was born. She’s been an integral part of raising our 4 children (13, 11, 8, and 3 years old) as both parents worked full time. She cares for and loves my children as though they are her own. Davi is particularly wonderful with infants and toddlers. She cared for all four of our babies – made homemade food, put everyone on a solid nap and sleep schedule, and took care of bath/bedtime when we were still at work. When I travel for work, she is always a calming, nurturing presence for our children. Once school age, Davi managed the transition to nursery school and handled the day-to-day rapport with other parents, nannies and teachers. In addition to caring for the children, she did all of the laundry, kept the kitchen and common areas tidy. With direction, she can cook delicious dishes for our children, maintaining flexibility to account for dietary preferences that differ from a toddler to a teenager. When necessary, Davi is able to take children to doctor’s appointments or haircuts, thus saving us time on weekends. All of my children have been integrated into her family and have had sleepovers at her house (at the children’s request) on the weekends. She does extensive travel with our family, including getting stuck places for several extra days. She was always flexible with the circumstances. If we gave advance notice, Davi was willing to stay overnight with the children which was always a huge help. During the summer, outside of the city, Davi is able to drive our children to day camp. When Davi started with our family, she had a flip phone. She’s not focused on her phone or messing with it all day long. That said, it is heartwarming to receive a photo from her from an afterschool class or the park with smiling faces on our children. She is playing and caring for the children because my children always came first. This will be a very sad day for us but we know that she will continue to be part of our family.
Davi is looking for 3-4 days a week with a newborn, preferably on the UES.
Please reach out with any questions!

Our wonderful nanny will be available when my daughter starts school this fall. Yvonne has been with us for a year and has become so close with my daughter, we are sad to lose her. We have lived in 2 different neighborhoods while Yvonne has been with us and she’s learned both area so well, found friends to plan play dates with, and found great parks and activities for my daughter. My 2 year old is very verbal (and counts to 10, knows alphabet, shapes, and colors) and I credit Yvonne with helping her develop. She also brings my daughter in the subway to meet me at work sometimes and I always feel safe with her in Yvonne’s care. She’s extremely reliable, flexible on schedule and will stay late when needed.

Taira was our nanny from the time our daughter was 4 months old to the time she was almost 5.5 years old. Taira has played a big role in our daughter’s upbringing and has treated our daughter as if she was another one of her grandchildren (she has 4 daughters and 6 grandchildren of her own).
She always ensured that our daughter was safe and well cared for, and we never had to worry when we were away at work with demanding jobs. Many people have given us compliments about the way in which Taira went about her job.
As first-time parents, Taira’s in-depth experience with her own children and the other children she has nannied over the past ~20 years was very helpful to us, both at the beginning as we tried to get our newborn daughter onto a schedule, and then through later milestones/transitions such as introducing solids, potty training, moving to a toddler bed, etc. Whenever our daughter was sick, she knew just what to do and comforted both us and our daughter until she got better.
In addition to watching our daughter, Taira was responsible for our daughter’s laundry and food. She always made sure that our daughter was dressed and groomed impeccably, with perfectly ironed clothes and gorgeous hairstyles every day. She cooked healthy and tasty meals for our daughter, and was always persistent in getting our difficult eater to eat her meals. While not one of her official responsibilities, she used her downtime to make sure that we came home to a tidy house, which was a huge bonus to us.
Taira is very independent, easily getting our daughter to and from school and activities, and filling free times with museum visits and playdates that she arranged on her own. She is particularly plugged into the Upper West Side and came into this job with a network of nannies (that she expanded based on our daughter’s friends) and knowledge of the best kids’ spots in the area.
Taira is fluent in Spanish and reinforced our bilingual household by speaking to our daughter exclusively in Spanish.
Taira is looking to work with a family in Manhattan 40-45 hours per week (M-F), ideally with a newborn or infant.
