I am an honest, responsible, friendly, hardworking, and punctual nanny who is passionate about caring for children. I am loving, patient, and caring, and I provide children with affection, understanding, and a safe, nurturing environment. I enjoy organizing educational games, singing songs, reading stories, drawing, and engaging children in age-appropriate activities that encourage their creativity, language development, motor skills, and social skills. I am organized and attentive to children’s daily routines, including meals, naps, hygiene, and playtime. I am also communicative and committed to keeping parents informed about their children’s activities, needs, and well-being. My goal is to help every child feel loved, safe, happy, and supported while they learn and grow.
I am so thrilled to recommend our former nanny, Sophie, who was an integral part of our family for 12 ½ years, through 2023. We would have loved for Sophie to stay with us forever, but by that time my son was off to college and my daughter was 14 and no longer required the same level of hands-on care. Sophie is truly exceptional, and my whole family absolutely adores her. I don’t know if words can fully express just how special she is. During her many years with our family, she provided our children, and all of us, with an extraordinary level of care, love, and support, and she will always be an important part of our family.
From the moment Sophie joined our family, it was evident that she possessed a rare combination of warmth, dedication and professionalism. Her genuine love for children shone through in everything she did. She established a strong bond with each of our children, Jack and Ava, understanding their needs, interests and personalities. Jack and Ava adore Sophie, and we witnessed firsthand the positive impact she had on their emotional and social development.
Sophie was wonderful with our children at every stage of their lives, from the toddler years through the crazy teenage years. She is extremely active and loved being involved in their activities, while also proactively planning playdates and making sure they stayed active by going to the park and planning fun activities around the city. She consistently went above and beyond to plan educational and fun outings, crafts and games tailored to their interests and each developmental stage. I can’t count the number of times other moms and nannies have told me how wonderful Sophie is. She helped create a wonderful social circle for our kids, and all of Jack and Ava’s friends love her. Their parents fully trust her with their children as well.
In addition to Sophie’s nurturing nature, she is extremely organized and great at multitasking. She seamlessly managed our daily routines, including preparing nutritious meals for the kids, doing laundry, supervising homework, keeping the house tidy and, when they were younger, ensuring nap and bedtime schedules were maintained. I would often arrive home to find Sophie studying flash cards with the kids, playing catch, teaching Ava how to bake or doing something else to keep them engaged and learning.
Sophie also has excellent communication skills. She always maintained open and honest communication with us, regularly providing updates on Jack and Ava’s activities, progress, friendships and any concerns that arose. We always valued her insight and knew that she genuinely had our children’s best interests at heart.
Sophie is also someone you can always count on. She consistently demonstrated incredible reliability and trustworthiness. She was ALWAYS punctual, extremely dependable, flexible and devoted to our entire family. We had complete peace of mind leaving our children in Sophie’s care every day, which as a parent is truly invaluable.
It is rare to find someone like Sophie, and I count my blessings that she was part of our family for so many years. She played such an important role in helping us raise our children, and we are incredibly grateful to her. She will always be a part of our family.
I originally found Sophie through Mommy Bites, and her previous family, with whom she is still very close, raved about her as well and was just as sad to see her leave. She is AMAZING, and I can say without hesitation that hiring Sophie will be one of the best decisions you will ever make.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to talk about Sophie. I could not recommend her more highly. She is truly a gem!
To Whom It May Concern,
It is with tremendous enthusiasm and genuine affection that we recommend Iris. Finding the right person to care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we feel incredibly fortunate that Iris came into our lives.
Iris joined our family when our son was just a newborn, and she has been with us through nearly his first three years of life. Over that time, she has become so much more than a nanny. She has become an integral part of our family, someone we love dearly, trust immensely, and will always be grateful to have had in our lives.
From the very beginning, Iris has been extraordinary. She is kind, attentive, nurturing, patient, dependable, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the child in her care. She has always treated our son as if he were her own, providing him with an incredible amount of love, attention, and encouragement. We have never had to worry when he was with Iris. We trust her completely.
What makes Iris particularly special is the impact she has had on the person our son is becoming. She has helped shape him into the lovable, curious, confident, and loving little boy he is today. She has introduced him to Spanish, encouraged his curiosity, found wonderful activities and experiences for him, and always made an effort to keep him engaged, learning, and having fun. She has been instrumental in his early development, and we know that the foundation she helped build will stay with him for years to come.
Iris also has a real gift for building community around the children in her care. She is wonderful at socializing, and she made a point of connecting our son with other children and caregivers in the neighborhood. She was always setting up play dates, organizing outings, and seeking out age-appropriate classes, programs, and activities that matched where he was developmentally. Thanks to her, our son had a rich social life full of friends, shared play, and new experiences, and he learned early how to share, take turns, and enjoy being around other kids. Iris naturally brings people together, and the children around her are better for it.
Beyond her incredible care for our son, Iris has been an enormous help to our entire household. She has always been proactive, thoughtful, and willing to lend a hand wherever needed, whether helping around the house, keeping things organized, or making our daily lives a little easier. She has a wonderful ability to anticipate what needs to be done without ever having to be asked.
Earlier this year, our family received the surprise of a lifetime when we learned we were expecting twins. With three young children, we realized we needed more space and ultimately made the decision to leave New York City and move to Westchester. Unfortunately, the commute became too far for Iris to reasonably make every day. This was purely a logistical decision and in no way a reflection of our desire to continue having Iris as part of our family. If circumstances had allowed, we would have happily continued working with her.
It is difficult to put into words how much Iris has meant to our family. Leaving her was genuinely bittersweet because she has been such an important part of our son’s life and our family as a whole. We will always consider ourselves lucky to have found her, and we know any family fortunate enough to welcome her into their home will feel the same way.
We recommend Iris without hesitation and with the highest possible regard. She will bring love, warmth, dedication, and an extraordinary level of care to any family she works with. Any child would be lucky to have her, and any family would be lucky to have Iris.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We would be delighted to share more about our experience with her.
With our warmest regards,
David & Ann Boyajian
Shelly is so wonderful we are so sad to be moving back to the west coast and wish we were taking her with us. She is always talking to or singing to our two children (6m old baby and 2yr old toddler). They love her and she is always pleasant to be around!
Azucena was very good at connecting with our little one who she cared for from 1-2 years old.
She worked full time Monday – Friday for 2 years. She engaged lovingly with our daughter, brought her to playgrounds and the library. Arranged play dates. Handled most of our child’s laundry and assisted with cooking for our child. We always fealt our child was safe in Azucena’s care. She came referred to us by a cousin who she was previously employed by.
Our child began full time 3K so we no longer need a full time nanny.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information!
WORLD’S BEST NANNY AVAILABLE!!
Dechen is the best nanny you could ask for. She has been with us through 3 children, Covid, moves, and has always been there as someone we could fully rely on. With 2 full time working parents, our family runs smoothly because of her. She doesn’t simply nanny your children, she raises them to be happy, loved, kind, resilient kids. She is completely trustworthy and reliable. She is also a quick learner, has fantastic instincts and super high EQ, and is someone who anticipates your needs. She is a kind, calm, gentle soul who brings that energy to your home everyday. Literally everyone we meet tells us we have the best nanny in the world. We couldn’t agree more.
Dechen is looking for a full time nanny position in NYC. Please text

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Michelle Ali, who has taken wonderful care of my son from the time he was a baby, beginning with her work as a baby nurse, until he reached three years of age.
Throughout this time, Michelle has been a caring, patient, dependable, and trustworthy caregiver. She has played an important role in my son’s early development, providing him with love, attention, comfort, and a safe and nurturing environment. I have appreciated her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to making sure his needs were always a priority.
Michelle is hardworking, responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for children. She understands the importance of establishing routines, supporting a child’s development, and giving parents peace of mind knowing their child is in good hands. Her experience and dedication have made her a valuable part of our family during these important early years.
I would highly recommend Michelle to any family looking for an experienced, loving, and reliable nanny or baby nurse. Any family fortunate enough to hire her would be gaining someone who takes her responsibilities seriously and treats the children in her care with kindness and compassion.
As my family’s childcare arrangement is coming to an end in October, Michelle will be available to begin a new position. I am happy to recommend her to another family and wish her continued success in her childcare career. She will rather work on the East side but also open to work on west side or Brooklyn.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information.
Sincerely,
Parent’s Name: Brittney______Rivas_________

Hi, our former nanny Charmaine is looking for a new nanny gig. She was our nanny since our baby was about 4 months old and took great care of her. We felt very comfortable with her handling a newborn, and she prefers babies, but she also has plenty experience with older babies and children too. She is open to all ages.
Our circumstances changed recently to where we don’t need someone full time, otherwise she would still be working with us. She is a mom of 6 herself so she has plenty of experience! But her children are all adults so no concerns about her having to take care of them too.
I loved that she got the baby out of the apartment everyday, taking her to the library, on walks, etc. She is looking for something in Manhattan, the Bronx, or lower Westchester
She is a great nanny and we highly recommend her.
We are thrilled to recommend Hazel for a full or part-time nanny position. We have know Hazel for over 8-years and she has become part of our family – she is extraordinarily reliable, highly intelligent, and deeply loving. Our kids absolutely adore her, and their time spent with her are consistently filled with joy, curiosity, and outdoor adventures. Beyond her devoted childcare, she is talented housekeeper, cleaner and goes above and beyond the call of duty—she even cares for our houseplants!.
Any family would be exceptionally lucky to hire her. Please reach out if you would like to connect with Hazel directly, or if I can answer any questions about our wonderful experience working with her.
It is my pleasure to recommend Faye, who worked with our family for more than seven years as a nanny and household caregiver. During that time, she cared for our two boys from early childhood until they were 12 and 9 years old. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had her as such an important part of our family.
Faye cared for our children with remarkable dedication, kindness, and patience. She treated them as if they were her own, providing not only attentive supervision but also genuine love, encouragement, and support. She helped them with homework, ensured they stayed on top of their responsibilities, and safely transported them to and from school, activities, and appointments. Her calm and dependable presence was a constant source of comfort for both our children and us as parents.
In addition to her childcare responsibilities, Faye played a vital role in keeping our household running smoothly. She assisted with cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, and maintaining an organized home. She consistently approached every task with initiative, reliability, and a positive attitude.
What sets Faye apart most is the deep bond she formed with our family. Over the years, she became much more than an employee—she became family. Her integrity, warmth, and unwavering commitment to our children left a lasting impact on all of us.
Our decision to part ways with Faye was solely due to our relocation out of state. If we had remained in the area, we would have been thrilled to continue having her as part of our family. We are confident that she will be a tremendous asset to any family fortunate enough to work with her.
Please feel free to contact us if you would like any additional information.
Once I met Christine, we instantly connected which gave me a great feeling about her potential as a babysitter. I gave her all my specifications when it came to dietary restrictions, managing electronics and screen time, afterschool pick-up, and my daughters’ extracurricular activities. Christine quickly picked up on our routine, and her professionalism which set her apart from our first meeting, kept on being reflected in the attention and care that she showed in caring for my girls. My eight- and five-year-old are my pride and joy, but they can be a handful. Their schedules are quite demanding, and mine does not allow time for me to assist them. But Christine stepped up seamlessly and was able to provide a much-needed relief. My girls took to liking her quite fast! I suspect the ice cream dates and the occasional boba has some parts to play. But also, the unassuming way she would offer her support. Whether it was a quick trip to the art supply store or having to readjust a ballet bun, Christine was always proactive and made my daughters comfortable enough to ask, and she always assisted them happily. I had a wonderful experience working with Christine and I have no doubt that her contribution will be invaluable to any family. Also if you are looking for a French speaking Babysitter, she is the one.
Norissa has been with our family since our son was six months old, and she has been an incredibly loving, nurturing, and dependable presence in his life. From the very beginning, it was clear that she has a genuine passion for working with children and a natural ability to connect with them. Her warmth, patience, playful spirit, and understanding of child-development have made her an invaluable part of our family. Our son absolutely adores her and runs to the door as soon as she would arrive.
Norissa combines a strong understanding of early childhood development a with a thoughtful responsive approach to caregiving. She has supported our son through each stage of his development, encouraging his independence, and emerging skills in a way that feels both natural and engaging.
She is exceptionally good with children and has a wonderful ability to meet them where they are developmentally. She has also helped us navigate several challenging developmental and parenting concerns, including a significant aversion to solid foods and sleep difficulties, with bringing a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive perspective.
Having had the privilege of seeing Norissa care for our son on a daily basis, I can confidently say that she is an exceptionally engaged and dedicated caregiver. She is fully present and attentive, making the most of every opportunity to connect with him through playing, singing and reading together. She regularly took him on outings to parks and playgrounds, classes, and has even helped him build friendships with other children in our neighborhood by arranging playdates.
In addition to her outstanding childcare skills, Norissa has been a tremendous help in maintaining our son’s daily routines and keeping his environment organized. She assists with meal preparation, keeps his spaces tidy and organized, and approaches these responsibilities with care and consistency. She is proactive, resourceful, and attentive to the many details that help a household run smoothly, allowing us to feel confident that our son is receiving excellent care while his needs are being thoughtfully managed.
Norissa is also exceptionally reliable, professional, and flexible. She has consistently accommodated our changing schedules and has been willing to provide additional hours when needed. She communicates well, demonstrates sound judgment, and approaches her responsibilities with a strong level of competence and commitment.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a rare combination of warmth, professionalism, developmental knowledge, and genuine affection for children. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as such an important part of our son’s early years, and I know that any family would be lucky to welcome her into their home. She would be a tremendous asset to a family looking for a caring, knowledgeable, dependable, and truly dedicated childcare professional.
After more than six incredible years with our family, we’re looking for a wonderful new family for our nanny, Yaya. ❤️
This is honestly one of the hardest parts of our move from New York to Europe. Yaya has been with us since our middle daughter was a newborn and has become part of our family. We truly love her like a family member. If we could bring her with us, we would in a heartbeat, but she needs to stay in New York with her family.
I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She is unbelievably reliable, calm, loving, and capable. Over the years she has cared for our three daughters, managed school drop-offs and pick-ups, cooked for the family, organized birthday parties, and helped keep our household running. She somehow always made everything look effortless.
So many parents have stopped me over the years at playgrounds or activities to tell me, “Your nanny is amazing,” after watching her handle all three girls with so much patience, warmth, and confidence. It always made me smile because we already knew how lucky we were.
More than anything, we’re hoping to find a family who will value and appreciate her as much as we have. She deserves a kind family who will treat her well, because she has given our family so much love and care.
She’s looking for a full-time nanny position in the New York area, starting end October.
If you think your family might be a good fit, please email me at sophie.kahn@gmail.com with the subject line “Yaya Nanny.” I’ll happily make the introduction and obviously provide a glowing reference.
Highly Recommended Nanny – Michelle ❤️
As our family prepares to move out of the city, we are heartbroken to say goodbye to our wonderful nanny, Michelle.

We trust her completely and cannot recommend her highly enough to another loving family.
Why We Love Michelle:
• Reliable & Experienced: Michelle is punctual, dependable, and always willing to accommodate schedule changes with advance notice. Over the past five years, she has supported our son through so many important milestones, including sleep training, potty training, and his transition to school.
• Nurturing & Engaging: She creates a warm, loving, and stimulating environment for our son. She plans age-appropriate activities, reads with him, sings songs, and supports his emotional, social, and personal development. She also makes sure his play areas are clean, organized, and safe.
• Nutritious Meals & Thoughtful Care: Michelle prepares nutritious meals and maintains a safe, loving, and structured daily routine.
• Excellent Communication: She keeps us informed with regular updates about our son’s day, progress, and needs. We have always appreciated her attentiveness and open communication.
Most importantly, Michelle has developed a truly special bond with our son and has become an extension of our family. Knowing that he has been in such loving, capable, and trustworthy hands has meant the world to us. We are so grateful for the care and love she has given him over the years.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Michelle caring for their little ones!
If you are looking for a loving, dedicated, experienced, and reliable nanny, we wholeheartedly recommend Michelle. Please feel free to reach out to us for a personal reference or contact Michelle directly at 347-262-1258.
Thank you!
Dorothy is a wonderful addition to the family! She has provided so much love and dedication to our child. She really cares about our child and my child loves her. We are so lucky to have Dorothy. Dorothy takes our child outside to play, arranges playdates with our children and plays with her in our home. She is dedicated, hardworking and caring. Our child is going to preschool 2 days a week which is why Dorothy is looking for work on those days. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Julie has worked with our family for over 3 years. She started working with us when our younger son was only 2 months old, and we are only now parting ways as our son is moving into full day school and we can no longer offer full time work. Julie recently moved to New Jersey to be closer to her kids and while she commutes to us in Boerum Hill every day, she would love to have a shorter commute and would prefer to work in Brooklyn Heights, Manhattan and New Jersey.
Julie has been a calm and consistent presence in our home. She has a wonderful bond with my boys, and we have felt so lucky to have her as part of our child raising team. It has been such a weight off of us knowing that our kids are happy, safe and well cared for when they’re with her. She has been a life saver for us time and again from working over-time when we need evening care and staying overnight when my partner and I both had to be out of town, to helping us take care of kids home sick from school so my partner and I didn’t have to miss work.
Since she has been caring for our younger son from 2 months to 3.5 years, she has been crucial in helping with all of his developmental milestones, from feeding him, helping with gross motor development, potty training, and lots more. We regularly have people complimenting my son’s good manners and it’s all thanks to Julie. She encourages polite manners and has patiently and compassionately taught our younger son so many great behaviours. Everytime they come home he takes off his shoes and coat, puts them away, and washes his hands calmly and independently thanks to Julie’s encouragement and consistency. My son also has severe eczema which meant we were very strict with how we introduced foods early on as we monitored for allergies, and she followed our lead and supported us well in that process.
Julie has been working in Brooklyn for over 20 years and has built a wonderful community. A few weeks into working with us she realized a friend of hers worked with the family across the street and now the kids are best friends. She is always out of the house with my son either on play dates with the many friends she has found for him or is taking him to various playgrounds, museums, the zoo, the aquarium, our local fire station (he’s on a first name basis with all of the fire fighters), and more. I never have to come up with activities for them as she’s already planned a fun day for my son before she even arrives. Though of course whenever I set something up, I can trust they will be there ready to go on time if not 15 minutes early.
I cannot recommend her highly enough! Please feel free to reach out to myself or her directly if you are interested or know anyone who is.

Kavita has been our nanny for the past 3 years and is a true Mary Poppins. She handles my toddler and newborn with ease and always leaves the house spotless before she goes.
She has been with my eldest since she was 9 weeks old and brings 25 years of experience to the job. She has also worked as a baby nurse and is truly gifted with infants. As my daughter grew, she organized neighborhood playdates and introduced her to solids, activities, and taught her the alphabet/how to count.
Kavita prefers a 4 day/week position but is able to work longer hours (10+ hour days). We would happily keep her with us, but unfortunately we are moving out of town.
I am thrilled to enthusiastically recommend our incredible nanny, Julia, who has been an indispensable part of our family for the past 3 years. Julia started with us when I was pregnant, helping effortlessly with drop-offs, meal prep, schoolwork, and bedtime routines for my older children. Once I gave birth, she seamlessly stepped into the role of a true “mommy’s helper”, taking on newborn support while making sure my bigger kids (now ages 5, 7, and 9) felt fully engaged, loved, and cared for.
Julia is currently completing the final stretch of her Bachelor’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, and her background in child development and communication shines through in everything she does. She brings a warm, vibrant, and joyful energy into our home every single day. She is exceptionally hands-on and interactive, driving the kids safely to after-school activities, guiding us through successful potty training, and naturally introducing Spanish to our children through fun daily play.
She has also traveled with us on family vacations, proving to be adaptable, proactive, and completely reliable in any setting. Her communication with parents is top-notch, keeping us aligned and at ease at all times.
Due to our upcoming move to New Jersey, we are heartbroken that we must part ways. Julia has truly become a cherished part of our family over the last 3 years, and we know without a doubt that she will be an absolute blessing to whichever family is lucky enough to hire her next!
