After 10 years with our family, it is hard to imagine life without Carmen. She started with us when our oldest daughter was a newborn and has been by our side ever since. When our second daughter was born, Carmen was there from day one. She has cared for both of our girls through every stage, from newborns to elementary school and now into the pre-teen years. She has become part of our family.
I still remember those early days as a first-time mom. I worried about everything: naps, bottles, feeding schedules, whether my daughter was happy, and whether she was getting enough sleep. Going back to work felt overwhelming. But once Carmen was there, I never spent my day wondering if my daughter was okay. I knew she was safe, loved, and being cared for like she was Carmen’s own.
Only six months after Carmen joined our family, my husband and I both had to travel out of the country for work. We had no family nearby, and Carmen took care of our daughter at her home while we were away. Even as a first-time mom, I never worried about whether she was okay. That says so much about how quickly Carmen became someone we trusted and relied on.
Carmen was also great about keeping us connected to the girls during the day, sending pictures and sharing funny stories about what they had been up to. Those little updates meant so much to us.
Carmen truly loves kids, and they love her right back. She is always taking them on adventures, whether that means exploring a new playground, spending the afternoon at the library or a museum, heading to a class, or simply getting outside to play. She also makes the everyday moments special. Some of my favorite memories are walking into the house and hearing the three of them laughing in another room. They would be building blanket forts, putting on little shows, making crafts, baking together, or just being silly. They genuinely love spending time with her.
One thing that has always stood out to me is how naturally Carmen connects with people. She is comfortable with everyone, whether other nannies, parents, grandparents, or neighbors. She makes people feel comfortable and builds friendships wherever she goes. Our girls always had wonderful playdates, friends to meet at the park, and a real sense of community.
We have moved four times while Carmen has been with us. Every time, she quickly figured out everything from the best playgrounds and libraries to classes and activities. Before long, she knew the neighborhood, had built a new community, and helped our girls feel completely at home.
As our girls got older, Carmen seamlessly adapted to each new stage. She went from bottles and naps to keeping track of busy schedules and playdates, getting them to activities, helping with homework, and encouraging them to become confident and independent. She has also been a true partner to us as parents. Carmen is incredibly intuitive and understands what our family needs. As the girls became more independent, she naturally took on other responsibilities around the house, seeing what needed to be done and stepping in without being asked.
Carmen is incredibly dependable and trustworthy. In 10 years, I never questioned whether she would show up or whether my children were being cared for. She has also been wonderfully flexible over the years, staying late or overnight when needed and traveling with us. She became the person we relied on every single day.
Now that both of our girls are in school full time and increasingly independent, Carmen is looking for a new family with a baby or young child who is not yet in school. She loves those early years and would love to find another family she can grow with over the long term.
Any family would be so lucky to have Carmen. She will love your children, keep them active, help them build confidence and friendships, and become someone your whole family comes to rely on. While we are incredibly sad to see this chapter end, we know she will be a wonderful addition to another family. We cannot recommend her highly enough and would be happy to speak with anyone considering welcoming Carmen into their family.
Fannie started working with my twin sons when they were 3 months old until they were 3 years old. They only reason she stopped working with us was because they went to school and we didn’t need a full-time nanny. Since then she has regularly babysat my boys, kept them for sleepovers at her house over long weekends when I was out of town, and we continue to stay in touch. We have even attended each other’s children’s graduations and her husband (who is a teacher) worked for us during COVID, making sure that my kids were on their remote school class and doing their homework.
Fannie loves her job and puts 100% into it. She is very active with the children, likes to take them on outings, teaches them letters and numbers, will teach them Spanish if the parents want it, teaches them how to feed themselves, and she does potty-training. She has a calm, gentle demeanor and has a lot of experience. She follows directions well (if the parents have specific requests, like to keep a journal of when the child eats) and she also adds her own expertise, when it’s helpful. For example, there were a few times when she pointed out some symptoms to me that my boys were having and I realized that they were sick.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Fannie to any family. They would be lucky to have her!
Our previous nanny, Kami, is looking for a new family. She helped raise our two daughters (now 4 and 6) and was with us for 5 years 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 this fall.
I’m happy to provide a reference for our nanny, who was with our family for the past eight months. During her time with us, she was consistently reliable, always arriving on time and maintaining a dependable schedule, which we truly appreciated.
As a first-time mom returning to work, it was very important for me to feel comfortable leaving my son in someone else’s care. She helped make that transition easier, and I always felt that my son was safe and well cared for while I was away.
She was also very consistent with household support, including keeping up with our laundry and helping with day-to-day tasks around the home. She always cleaned up after our son and kept his spaces organized, which made a big difference in our daily routine.
In addition, she regularly attended classes and activities both within our building and in the community. Through this, she helped our son socialize and build connections, creating a small circle of familiar friends for him, which we really valued.
Over time, she became a steady and familiar presence in our home and a part of our family’s routine. She was responsible, trustworthy, and maintained a consistent level of care throughout her employment.
We’re grateful for the support she provided our family and would recommend her to another family seeking a reliable and dependable caregiver.
Our wonderful nanny, Karen, is seeking a full-time position starting ASAP (M-F +/- 40 hours/week).
She’s been with us for about two years. She’s an amazing nanny, great with children! She taught our daughter to walk, talk, count, say her ABC’s etc.
Her responsibilities were primarily related to our daughter: food preparation, her dishes, bathing, laundry, as well as taking her to local classes:
Gymboree, Music, Storytime, Side by Side, Doctor’s appointments, etc. She does it all!
Karen has been an integral part of our family. And even stayed with us to ensure our daughter has adjusted to school. This goes to show her wonderful character. But most importantly, Karen is a warm, patient, forward-thinking nanny who loves our daughter like her own. She has a gift with children and is both fun-loving and firm.
Her ideal employment would be with a baby or young child. Karen is a US citizen with an adult daughter. She is available to start this ASAP, but can be flexible regarding the start date.
Highly experienced, amazing, responsible Nanny seeks full time position with newborn or young children. Manhattan or Brooklyn preferred.
Our beloved nanny, Shelly, is available for a full time position with a new family. She has been with us since our son was just two months old (now 20) and has been the most wonderful partner in raising our son and our daughter (now 17). Prior to joining us, Shelly was a baby nurse and a nanny for twin newborns until they were 5. As she loves babies and is a newborn expert, she is excited to begin again with a newborn or young child/children, and has refreshed her certifications in anticipation of her new position. While we are incredibly sad to have her move on, we highly and emphatically recommend Shelly and would love to help her find a full time position with a wonderful family.
Shelly is exceptional – experienced, loving, responsible, energetic, fun, and incredibly dependable. She has the rare combination of deep expertise with infants and children of every age, together with an incredible work ethic, boundless energy, and warmth.
Shelly provided full care of our two children from infancy including newborn care, bathing, feeding, establishing sleep routines, developmental activities, trips to the playground and kid’s classes, creative and educational activities, nutritious meal preparation, children’s laundry, organizing bedrooms and playspaces, managing busy schedules of school, playdates, sports, and activities throughout the city and providing loving, dependable care. She is an excellent communicator, punctual, detailed and reliable in every way – a true partner in raising children. Over the years, teachers and parents regularly went out of their way to tell us how wonderful she was – something that meant the world to me as a working mom.
Safety has always been Shelly’s highest priority. She is attentive, proactive, organized, and calm under pressure. She understands the importance of safety, security and privacy for a family raising children in New York City. She encourages healthy habits, from nutritious meals to appropriate use of technology. She loves reading, playing games, and inspiring curiosity through conversation and exploration. She played an enormous role in helping our children become the kind, respectful, confident, and engaged young adults they are today.
My husband and I give Shelly our highest recommendation. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children. Please reach out directly to Shelly with interest. I would be delighted to speak with any family considering Shelly. One side note is that she prefers no dogs.
Celia has been with us for two years, caring for our son from infancy into toddlerhood. Her previous roles included 10 years with one family and seven with another, reflecting the lasting relationships she builds. She remains in touch with her first family and was even invited to the college graduation of the first child she cared for after all these years. Two other families even tried to persuade her to move with them to New Jersey and Brooklyn so they could continue working with her.
A few of the things we have especially valued about her:
• She is incredibly safety-conscious and attentive and is proactive about bringing anything new or concerning to our attention.
• She is genuinely engaged with our son throughout the day. She reads with him, sings, plays ball, does activities and gets down on the floor to play. She is never on her phone unless she is coordinating something for him.
• She knows Manhattan incredibly well, especially the Upper East and Upper West Sides and is great about finding parks, libraries, activities and other places for kids to explore. She also coordinates playdates and has helped our son build his own little community in the neighborhood.
• She is exceptionally dependable. She has always been very reliable (and flexible!) with our schedule, especially when last minute things pop up for me or regular date nights and being able to accommodate.
• She prepares meals for our son and is comfortable handling the everyday things that make a household with a young child run more smoothly, including his laundry, dishes, cleaning floors, sanitizing toys and keeping his spaces neat.
• She respects the way we choose to parent, follows our routines and is very consistent about communicating with us throughout the day.
Celia is experienced, capable, professional and truly cares about the children she looks after. Our change is entirely because my work schedule is changing, and if our circumstances were different, we would happily continue having her with us full-time. She will need to be paid on the books.
I’ll be moving to part-time work this fall, so she is available for a full-time position or a nanny share with us. We could offer 10 hours per week, with another family providing at least 30. An October start would work well, but we’re flexible if the right opportunity comes along sooner or later. My work hours are also flexible, so we can accommodate another family’s schedule. Our priority is helping her find a family who will truly value the care and commitment she brings to her work.

Our nanny has been a wonderful and trusted part of our family for the past 3.5 years, caring for our daughter since she was 2. She is calm, confident, experienced, and incredibly dependable. She has a great balance of being hands-on and engaged with our daughter while also helping with household tasks and keeping things running smoothly. She values clear communication, consistency, and structure, and we have always appreciated her thoughtful and reliable approach to childcare.
We are moving out of state, which is the only reason we are saying goodbye. We feel very lucky to have had her in our family and would love to help connect her with a new family where she can be just as valued. We’re moving by end of the month but she would be available to start as soon as possible.
Fantastic newborn/ baby nanny available! Kerri joined us when our 4th was just 2 weeks old. I needed someone confident with a newborn as I managed my other kids’ schedules. Our littlest was not the easiest in the beginning. She constantly wanted to be rocked and held. Kerri did this without complaint.
I am breastfeeding and our baby decided very early on that bottles were out so we’ve managed a schedule of making sure I’m always back within that 1.5 to 2-hour window and Kerri has done wonderfully at biding time for me when I needed that extra 15 minutes. She has a bubbly personality and really has a great touch with babies. Not everyone does well with newborns but Kerri was undeterred and unphased (even through the colicky phase). We just got notified that my 4-year-old got into her preschool program and we will need much less hours this school year. Kerri is looking for a position Monday-Thursday and she’s happy to fill whatever hours in those days.
Happy to chat more.

Our nanny, Shelly, is looking for her next family. She has been with our family since our son Parker, was just a few months old, and we’re sad to be making this transition. He’s starting school!
Shelly has been a wonderful caregiver to him over the past 2+ years. She’s loving and very experienced (20+ years) with children of all ages. She’s been responsible for all aspects of his day-to-day care, from meals and naps, to activities, outings, playdates, routines, and keeping him happy and engaged throughout the day.
We’re happy to provide a personal reference and tell you more about our experience with her. Please message me if you or anyone you know might be a good fit!
Our daughter is starting daycare this fall, and our wonderful nanny is looking for a new full-time role! Barbara has worked as a nanny for more than 20 years, and has experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and multiples. She is absolutely everything we wanted in a nanny: kind, loving, attentive, proactive, punctual, responsible, and reliable beyond measure.
She brings a warmth and happiness with her that infiltrates our home. She truly goes above and beyond to care for our daughter. An illustrative example of that is how Barbara handled a months-long situation where my daughter refused to nap anywhere but her stroller. Without hesitation, Barbara strolled her around for 2-3 hours each day, refusing a break, because she insisted that our daughter’s rest was that important to her. That’s who Barbara is.
Right now, Barbara’s schedule with us is 9-5 pm Monday through Friday, but she’s always flexible. When we’ve needed her to come earlier or stay later she is always happily willing to accommodate us. She also babysits for us on nights and weekends, which is a huge help!
I am happy to answer any and all questions and can provide multiple references from her prior families. Please reach out!
❤️ **Our incredible nanny Rose is looking for a new family!** ❤️
Seeking full time in Manhattan, 1 baby, live out.
It is very hard for us to write this because Rose has been with our family for **3.5 years**, since our son was just 3 months old, and she has cared for our daughter since birth. She has truly become part of our family, and we are only looking for a new home for her because we recently moved from NYC to Westchester and now need a nanny who can drive.
Rose has over 20 years of childcare experience, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a nanny as good as she is. Having been home with our kids for the past few months in between jobs, I have an even greater appreciation for just how exceptional she is.
Her attention to our children is extraordinary. She is never on her phone. She doesn’t even own AirPods! Her attention is 100% on the kids when she is with them. The only time she has her phone out is to take pictures of the children or if I call her. In a city where finding someone who is this consistently present, engaged, and attentive can be difficult, this is something we have always appreciated enormously about her.
She is kind, calm, loving, patient, responsible, and meticulous. Most importantly, she genuinely LOVES children. This has never felt like just a job to her—she treats our kids like they are her own. My son has gone through phases when he cries when she leaves at the end of the day and my kids both ask for her constantly on the weekends.
She has been with us through the newborn stage, toddlerhood, illnesses, sleepless nights, travel, and everything in between. When our kids are sick, she cuddles them, hugs them, and lets them sleep on her. She is incredibly nurturing and attentive and always seems to think of everything before we even have to ask.
She goes above and beyond every single day. She arrives early, never wants to leave until everything is done, and if the kids are settled, she will fold laundry, do dishes, organize, or find something else helpful to do without ever being asked. She is extremely proactive and takes so much pride in caring for our family.
Rose has traveled with us to Florida and North Carolina and has stayed with my parents in NY when my husband and I have traveled. She is incredibly trustworthy and has become someone we can completely rely on.
And we are not the only ones who think she is exceptional. Multiple people have commented to us over the years about how wonderful she is. Even the director of our preschool, who has seen thousands of nannies, went out of her way to tell us how exceptional Rose is—completely unsolicited.
Rose is very familiar with Battery Park and Tribeca, where she worked with us for 3.5 years, and she previously worked on the **Upper East Side**, so she knows those areas extremely well.
She would especially love to find a family with a newborn or young baby, where she can use her extensive experience and provide loving, attentive care from the very beginning.
We would be SO grateful if anyone knows a wonderful family looking for someone truly special. We would love for Rose to find a family who will appreciate her as much as we do. ❤️
Happy to speak privately and provide a reference to anyone interested!
Our lovely nanny, Afyia, is looking for another family to grow with. We did a nanny-share with another family, and she has been with us since our babies were just 3 months old. Time flies, so our babies are 2 and about to head to preschool. Afyia came to us with over 10 years’ experience, which is 100% what we needed as first-time parents – a nanny with solid professional experience caring for more than one child. We were amazed that she was able to get both of our babies on a consistent nap schedule immediately, so they’re great sleepers. She has a gentle, sweet, calming energy that our baby could feel from the first time they met. Our babies both started crying, and the four of us parents looked over at Afyia. She just Afyia picked them both up, and they stopped crying instantly. It was everything we needed to know. I work from home all the time, and she always brings a quiet, calming presence to our home.
What makes her different? One thing that I really loved is that, while so many nannies (we are all susceptible) are on their phones all the time in the park, Afyia is so present. We’ve had other parents from the neighborhood, the librarian, and the teacher of a local music class approach us on the street to tell us how great Afyia is, so even though we didn’t often get to see her in action, we completely trust her judgement.
Even now that our little guy is full of non-stop toddler energy and no-no-no, she is so good with him. She taught him to say, “please”! (sometimes). She read him books, plays with him, and takes him out to the library and to the many parks in our area every day.
Bonus: She is highly professional, extremely reliable and has never once been late in all the months she’s been with us. If you’re a working parent, you’ll understand how very important this is.
We are relocating after nearly seven years, and have a nanny that we cannot recommend her highly enough.
She joined us when our daughter was a newborn and has been a steady, trusted, part of our household ever since. Over those years, she has demonstrated skill, intuition, and dedication at every stage of our daughter’s development — from infant care to toddlerhood to the busy, full world of a seven-year-old.
She is organized and reliable, communicative and collaborative with parents, imaginative and engaged with children, and unshakably calm in any situation. She has always come to us as a true partner — proactively sharing updates, flagging concerns thoughtfully, and has our child’s safety and wellbeing as her priority.
Beyond her capabilities, she is a wonderful person — kind, trustworthy, and genuinely devoted to the children in her care. Our daughter adores her, and letting her go is one of the hardest parts of this move, and we do so only knowing that another family is about to receive something very special.
I am delighted to recommend our nanny, who has cared for our family and our child for the past twelve years. During this time, she has become a deeply trusted and valued member of our household.
From the very beginning, she demonstrated exceptional warmth, patience, responsibility, and dedication. She provided loving, attentive, and consistent care throughout every stage of our child’s development. Her calm nature, excellent judgment, and ability to create a safe and nurturing environment gave us complete peace of mind.
Over the years, she has also developed extensive expertise as a newborn specialist. She is highly knowledgeable about newborn care, including feeding routines, sleep schedules, soothing techniques, bathing, changing, establishing healthy routines, and recognizing a baby’s individual needs. She is confident, gentle, organized, and exceptionally attentive to both the child and the parents.
She is dependable, trustworthy, discreet, and hardworking. She takes great pride in her work and always goes above and beyond to ensure that the child in her care is happy, healthy, secure, and well supported. She is also respectful of family values and routines, and she communicates clearly and professionally.
Our child has been incredibly fortunate to have her care and guidance for so many years. We recommend her without hesitation to any family seeking an experienced, loving, and highly capable nanny or newborn specialist. She would be a wonderful addition to any household.
Felix is starting school, and naturally our family’s schedule is shifting. As a result, our rock, Vashty, is looking for a new family to support and a new child to care for, nurture and love. If our circumstances were not changing, we would have Vashty continue caring for Felix.
Vashty started looking after our son Felix in February 2024, when he was just three months old. Over the past two and a half years, she has seen him grow from a baby into a (very) young man. He is happy, confident, kind, curious, present and increasingly independent, and so many of these qualities are, to a significant degree, thanks to Vashty. She has become a member of our family.
Most importantly, we trust Vashty completely. She has tremendous judgment and a quiet confidence that stands out. She is kind and deeply loving, but also clear and consistent. Her experience and personality allow her to instinctively understand when to let things roll, when to say no, and how to set boundaries in a way that Felix understands and responds to.
Vashty is exceptionally reliable. She is always on time for her 8 a.m. start and walks through our door with a smile and a warm good morning. She takes real ownership of Felix’s days rather than waiting to be told what to do.
That initiative extends well beyond our home. At the playground, time and again, we have seen parents and other nannies turn to Vashty, trust her judgment and think very highly of her. She has built a wonderful community among the nannies and families in our neighborhood. She knows what’s going on—activities at the library, the soccer program the kids love, birthday parties, playdates and everything in between—and creates a rich and varied schedule for Felix. Through her, he has developed many friendships and is now starting school already knowing many of his classmates. Her role in socializing Felix has been pivotal.
But what matters most to us is the relationship she has built with our son. Felix loves and trusts Vashty, and she genuinely loves him. As parents, there is very little that matters more than knowing that the person caring for your child when you are not there is both extraordinarily capable and deeply invested in his happiness and development. Vashty is remarkably engaged with him and has never relied on screens to occupy him, instead filling his days with conversation, play, books, activities and time outside.
Vashty is fantastic, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her as such an important part of Felix’s first years. She has confidently managed every aspect of his daily routine. I cannot recommend her more highly. Any family would be fortunate to have her, and we would be enthusiastic to speak with prospective families and answer any questions as they consider the person they will entrust with their most precious family member.
We are posting for our wonderful nanny, Joy, who is looking for her next family after 3+ years with us. She is especially gifted with newborns and young babies. She brings genuine joy and tenderness. Joy has cared for our daughters (now 3.5 and 1 year old) full-time since our oldest was just 5 weeks old! She helped us through all of the major milestones – starting solids, navigating teething, adjusting nap schedules, potty training, teaching words, manners and letters, starting preschool, and more.
Joy is highly dependable, punctual (usually early!), safety-conscious, and flexible. She helped keep our home running by preparing healthy meals for the children, keeping up with their laundry, organizing their spaces, and making the whole home feel tidier. Most importantly, our girls absolutely adore her. We only said goodbye because we moved out of state. She is looking for a new family with a newborn or young baby (and a pet-free home), and we wholeheartedly recommend her for this role. We are happy to speak by phone with interested families. You will be so glad to meet her!
It is with great pleasure and heartfelt gratitude that I recommend Michelle for a nanny position. Michelle cared for my daughter in the Upper West Side from the time she was one until she turned four, and she was an indispensable part of our lives during those formative years.
As a busy working mother, I relied heavily on Michelle’s expertise, reliability, and unwavering dedication. She is an exceptionally professional and caring individual who approaches childcare with both warmth and a deep sense of responsibility. Beyond her professional capabilities, Michelle quickly became a trusted member of our family and a dear friend. Her genuine love for my daughter and her ability to nurture her development made our daily lives run smoothly and gave me complete peace of mind while I was at work.
We were so sad to lose her when we relocated that we tried to convince her to move with us, but her strong family commitments kept her in New York City. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her in their home.
