I feel like I won the lottery when I hired Gloria to take care of my son – she is that good. Both my husband and I had full time jobs, and my son was just 5 weeks old. As a first-time mother, I was overwhelmed but Gloria took extremely good care of my baby and brought calmness and stability to our home. 2 years later we had twin boys and 5 years after that another baby boy. Gloria stayed and took care of our four boys for almost 16 years. She is caring, intelligent, honest, and clean. She cooks, washes, and would never let the kids leave the house wearing clothing which was not ironed. As they grew up, she arranged their play dates, read to them, and sang to them constantly. She is very flexible and loves to travel with us when asked. My kids love her for they know she loves them and will do anything for them. Any family would be lucky to have her, as children listen to her and she never has to raise her voice. I have no doubt that Gloria has always had a special gift when it comes to taking care of newborns and she has great references from other professional families.
Judine has been with our family for 6+ years, and has helped raise our 2 boys, from newborn to now. She is extremely dependable, responsible, loyal, and our boys love her (they ask for her on the weekends!).
She is:
1/ extremely clean – she cleans our apt, kids laundry always fresh and whites are white
2/ active – plays with the kids, takes them to classes, playground, playdates
3/ respectful with us – listens to our wishes on parenting styles, preferences
4/ dependable – she’s been late about 3 times due to the train, and she’s called in sick about 3 times, all in 6.5 years.
5/ CPR certified (though probably needs renewal) and updated with vaccines
She is never on her phone when she is with the kids. other nannies and parents have proactively told me this.
We are delighted to recommend our part-time nanny Mona. Mona cared for our twin girls in 2024 and is looking for her next position. With 20 years of experience, Mona brings a calm, confident, and deeply nurturing presence to every moment. She quickly built a bond with our girls and became a trusted and steady part of their routine—and ours.
Mona is exceptionally reliable, warm, and intuitive with children. Whether she’s managing twin nap schedules, engaging them in play, or simply offering a soothing hand during fussy moments, she brings thoughtfulness, professionalism and a sense of humor to everything she does.
She is now looking for her next opportunity in Chelsea or Midtown, and is open to both full-time and part-time positions. We can happily recommend her for anyone looking for a caregiver. Please feel free to reach out to her at 347-522-0004. We would also be happy to provide any additional information that may be helpful.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Gina as our nanny, and it’s hard to put into words just how rare of a find she is. Gina has been a constant source of support, care, and positivity in our home. She is a dedicated caregiver to our son (2.5 years) and now daughter (1 month). The only reason she is available is because we are moving out of the city.
Gina has played a major role in our son’s early development, particularly in language and communication. Our pediatrician had commented our 2 year old speaks at the level of a 3+ year old, and we credit a lot of that to Gina. Her own daughter was the valedictorian of her high school, so she knows what she is doing! She has a natural gift for engaging with children in a way that is both fun and educational. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, we’ve seen tremendous growth in our son’s vocabulary and conversational skills.
Gina also brings a great energy to daily activities, always coming up with fun and enriching games, crafts, and outings that keep our son happily engaged. She is eager to take him to all classes including gymnastics, arts and crafts, soccer, family dance, and more. I have watched her interact during these classes and she is often the most engaged nanny there – participating along the way and helping Hudson do his best (and listen)!
On top of that, she’s been instrumental in helping with potty training and reinforcing good manners in a gentle and effective way. Her calm, consistent, and encouraging style has made all the difference.
Gina is extremely reliable, punctual, and communicative. We’ve always felt 100% in the loop and at ease knowing our son is in her care. She leaves daily notes for us communicating what the day was like as well which is helpful when my husband and I come home from work late. She also is incredibly honest. One week, we overpaid her by mistake, and she called us to let us know she’d be bringing the balance back the following week because we had made an error.
Safety is also the most important thing to Gina. I have always felt extremely comfortable knowing my kids would never be put in a compromised position or in danger. She is never on her phone (unless it is to take a photo or video which she shares with us) and is always within an arms lengths reach, never taking an eye off them, which in the city is very comforting to know.
But perhaps the best endorsement of all is how much our son absolutely adores her—every morning when she arrives, he runs to the door to greet her with a huge hug and a “GOOD-MORNING GINA!”.
Any family would be truly lucky to have her—she is a gem, and we cannot recommend her enough! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have.
We’re sadly parting ways with our wonderful nanny as our family has moved to the suburbs and she doesn’t drive. We’re hoping to help her find a new position with a loving family in NYC—she truly deserves it!
She has cared for our three children (now 7, 4, and 16 months) with incredible patience, love, and consistency. She’s amazing with children of all ages—from infants to school-aged kids—and is that rare mix of calm, playful, nurturing, and reliable. She handles the kids’ laundry, prepares lunch and dinner, and keeps their spaces neat and organized. She takes initiative around the home and is always willing to help wherever needed.
Before joining our family, she spent 8 years working with a family on the Upper East Side, building deep experience and trust in long-term care. Our kids absolutely adore her, and it’s hard to overstate the peace of mind she’s given us.
We’d love to see her matched with a new family who will appreciate her as much as we do.
Hanifah is extremely dependable, responsible and can be counted on to do what she says she will do. She is very open, calm and caring.
She was referred to us by a previous sitter and my 9 year old son took to her right away. She is a good listener and very focused on my son when she is with him. She is very good at supporting the rules of the house and has fun too!
After graduating from Howard University in 2023 with her Masters in Social Work, she started working with kids professionally in 2021 as a babysitter, babysitting children ages 3 and 5. In 2023 she worked with adolescent and young teens at a residential facility, mentoring, assisting with housing, and providing mental health group therapy. In 2024 she became a lead teacher, teaching children ages 2-5.
Hanifah is looking for something full time with more hours than we can offer her. Her master’s degree in social work comes through with her interactions with my son and her experience is also very obvious.
I am pleased to offer a reference for my current professional nanny Mel with over 24 years of hands-on experience caring for children ranging in age from as young as six weeks old through the early teen years.
As a mother to adult children of her own, she understands deeply the trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care—and she honors that responsibility with her full commitment, heart, and professionalism.
Throughout her career, she has nurtured children in every stage of development, creating loving, structured environments that promote emotional well-being, independence, and growth. She takes pride in not only providing attentive, compassionate care, but also being a positive influence and an active educator in their daily lives.
Mel was with us for a few years and during that time was an exceptional caregiver and a great addition to our family. She has extensive experience and knowledge working with various age group and assisted us during major transitions and milestones such as introducing solids, potty training, sleep regression and the famous stages of grumpy two’s.
In every role, she assumed full responsibility for the children in her care.
This included prepping and preparing their meals with attention to any dietary needs. Managing and doing their laundry. Organizing their schedules, activities, and transportation. Light housekeeping to maintain a clean, safe environment… sometimes even cooking for the entire family and washing clothes that have piled. Supporting learning through play, reading, and age-appropriate educational activities.
Mo enters our home every morning with a bright energy and kindness but also bringing a calm presence and a genuine love, being a supportive extension of us
When first speaking with the past families she worked with, they would describe her as dependable, nurturing, proactive, and grounded and I can attest to all of it.
If you are looking for an experienced and deeply loving nanny who takes initiative and offers long-term consistency and support, then you’re looking for MO and I’d be happy to connect you!
I am posting on behalf of our wonderful nanny Sheila who is looking for her next full time job! Sheila has been helping care for our children for 3.5 years. Before us, she worked for two other Stuyvesant Town families for 10 years. She started with us when my older child was 6 months old and then seamlessly transitioned to caring for our baby when he was born in February 2024. Since I’m currently on break from being a lawyer, and our older child is in preschool, we no longer need a full time nanny. Sheila is responsible, trustworthy, loving, and active. She has decades of experience caring for children of all ages and is especially skilled with babies.
She takes our children to classes/preschool at the 14th St Y, local libraries, music classes, and countless play dates at all the local playgrounds. She also cooks delicious and nutritious meals for our kids and handles their laundry. She is extremely attentive and engaged and people often mention to me what a great caregiver she is. She does not spend time on her phone when she’s with the kids and she has never been late.
Sheila has been an integral part of our children’s lives for the past 3 years. She helped establish their schedules, created meal time routines, assisted with potty training, and facilitated socialization with other kids. She was extraordinarily helpful every step of the way. After Sheila started caring for our older child and I went back to a demanding full time job, I always felt at ease knowing he was with her. My husband and I have always felt comfortable with leaving our kids in her care.
Sheila will be with our family through the end of August but we are flexible with her end date if she finds a new family sooner! She would love to grow with a new baby and she enjoys working in the Stuy Town community, but is willing to travel to other neighborhoods. She’s happy to work around pets.
Please message me if you’d like to discuss Sheila further or connect with her!
Our wonderful nanny Nicole is looking for her next family to love and support. Nicole has been with our family for two years, and we are now moving away and have to say goodbye. Nicole is professional, reliable, loving, experienced, and wise. She has a calm vibe and is easy to be around. She combines firm and effective boundaries with a silly playfulness that has made our children adore her. In addition to caring for our children (now ages 2 and 5), Nicole helps with their laundry, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, and preparing meals for the children. She is a good communicator, flexible with tasks, and was willing to do the needful. Nicole taught our kids independence and routines, and delighted in facilitating playdates. She is comfortable with a wide range of ages from infant through elementary. She kept our youngest safe from injury despite his adventurous climber tendencies, and helped teach our older child to read and write. Friends who observed Nicole with our children at the park frequently commented on how great she is with the kids. She would be a valuable addition to any household. In our chaotic household with two young children and two working parents, I go to bed at night thinking ‘Thank God for Nicole..’. She is a tremendous source of stability, support, fun, and love for our whole family. We will miss her dearly.
Monica has been our family nanny for over 12 years. She is a loving and caring person who i absolutely trust my children with. She always take the children out and finds activities for them and they absolutely love here. I can happily recommend her to someone looking for a caregiver for their children.
Our beloved nanny of 5 years will be available for a full-time position starting this July/August, as both of our children will be in school full-time come fall.
Om came highly recommended from one of our closest friends, with whom she had also been for 5 years. From the moment she joined our family when our son was just 7 months old, she brought warmth, patience, and unwavering reliability to our home. She has truly helped raise our children and has been a steady, loving presence every step of the way.
She has a calm, nurturing presence and an intuitive understanding of children’s needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. From organizing playdates and attending classes, to spending hours at the playground, she kept our little ones active, engaged, and happy. We always came home to smiling children and a clean, tidy home, which gave us such peace of mind over the years.
We feel beyond lucky to have had Om with us, and any family would be fortunate to welcome her into their lives. She’s truly one of a kind.
We are more than happy to provide a glowing reference and connect directly. Please feel free to reach out!
I highly recommend Sisa Zaruma, who has been an exceptional nanny for my two boys (ages 1 and 3). We are moving to Upstate, and it’s with great sadness that we must part ways with her. I am eager to help her find a family who will benefit as much as we have from her outstanding care.
Sisa speaks Spanish fluently, which has been a wonderful advantage for our family. She connects deeply with our children and handles everything—from picking them up at school to managing their daily routines—with great care and affection, making her feel like part of the family.
What sets Sisa apart is her industrious nature and creativity. She goes beyond caregiving, enriching their lives with museum visits, park playdates, and activities that stimulate their development. She ensures that my children are not only well cared for but also engaged and inspired.
Sisa is both incredibly caring and kind and treats my children as her own. They adore her, and she has become a beloved figure in our home. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of our move.
I confidently recommend Sisa to any family looking for a full-time nanny. She combines skills, experience, and genuine love for her work. I’m sure she will be a tremendous asset to any family fortunate enough to have her.
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Nadia, who cared for our two children over the last several years. She began caring for our son when he was just six months old and quickly became
one of the most loving, thoughtful, and dependable presences in his life and in ours. As he grew, Nadia also took on afternoon care for our daughter after nursery school, always managing both children with grace, warmth, and ease.
Nadia brings a calm and intuitive energy to everything she does. She has a remarkable ability to handle theunexpected and was a true lifesaver during a major family celebration we traveled for. Day to day, she filled our home with joy and creativity, reading books, doing crafts, encouraging imaginative play, and ensuring the kids spent their time engaged and connected rather than in front of screens. She was always respectful of our parenting preferences and found countless quiet ways to support our household so that it ran more smoothly.
The only reason we are parting ways is that both of our children are now entering full-time school. Saying goodbye to Nadia feels like saying goodbye to a member of our family. I know, however, that she will be an incredible gift to the next family lucky enough to have her. She is smart, nurturing, dependable, and has a rare gift for making children feel safe, loved, and free to be themselves. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.
We’re heartbroken to be writing this, but our beloved nanny of four years is looking for a new long-term family to join as our kids head off to school full time this fall.
She is everything you hope for in a nanny: incredibly warm, bubbly, nurturing, and dependable. She has been with us through it all—helping raise our kids with love, laughter, and unwavering care. She’s the one teachers, other parents, and even strangers at the playground stop to compliment. She has truly become part of our family, and I can’t overstate how much we trust and adore her.
She does it all—playdates, meal prep, kids laundry, sick days, school pick ups—you name it. She brings joy and calm to our daily chaos and is an expert.
She’s ideally looking for a child aged 9 months or older and is flexible on location in Manhattan or Brooklyn. She’s open to part-time morning hours (I’m happy to keep her in the afternoons!) or a full-time role with a new family. She has been a caregiver for more than 14 years plus raised her own two children.
If you’re looking for a nanny who will become your lifeline, please reach out to her directly. You won’t find someone more loving or wonderful. Her start date is flexible mid-July – September.
There will be no need to look any further than our Rosa. Seven years ago, when beginning the daunting task of finding a caretaker for our then 1 year old son, I invited Rosa over to see how he would react to her. My son immediately was attracted to her warmth and kindness.
Our then 1 year-old is now 8 and we also have a 4 year-old. Rosa cares for our boys as her own. She showers them with love and affection. Our eldest calls Rosa his second mom and they never let her leave without a goodbye hug.
Rosa quickly became an integral part of our parenting team and as a result we seamlessly take over when we come home after work. We have never worried when Rosa is with our children. She plans our kid’s activities when they are not in school, including scheduling play dates. In fact, our sons have developed several friendships through Rosa’s network.
Rosa primarily speaks and reads to our children in Spanish. As a result both of our boys are bilingual. Rosa is extremely reliable – we have very challenging work schedules and she is always ready to adjust whenever possible. She is always eager to help in any way she can. We are excited for the next family who she will join!
Rochelle, or (Roro) as our kids lovingly call her, worked with our military family (United States Air Force) from 2019 to 2022, and she quickly became so much more than a nanny to us. She brought Montessori-inspired structure into our home in the gentlest, most thoughtful way, blending learning and play effortlessly. Roro is creative, fun, and incredibly intuitive with children she has a gift for knowing exactly what they need, whether it’s space to explore, encouragement to grow, or just a warm hug and a laugh.
One of the things we appreciated most about Roro was that we never had to micro-manage. Her instincts, experience, and thoughtful approach gave us complete peace of mind.
She’s not just attentive; she’s deeply present and intentional. Most importantly, she cared for our children with the kind of love and dedication you’d hope for from family. Any parent, especially one navigating the demands of military life, life as a new mom, would be blessed to have someone like Roro by their side.
I am so happy to recommend our weekend/part-time nanny, who cares for our 20-month-old son. She has been truly a gift to our family.
Our son struggles with separation anxiety, which makes it difficult to find someone he feels safe and comfortable with. From the very beginning, Twyla approached the situation with patience, empathy, and deep understanding. She took the time to build trust with him at his pace—offering gentle reassurance, consistent routines, and a calm, nurturing presence that helped him feel secure and cared for in our absence.
She has a natural way with young children, blending playfulness with attentiveness, always ensuring our son’s emotional and physical needs are met. Whether she’s reading with him, engaging him in sensory play, or simply sitting with him quietly during a tough moment, she brings warmth and intentionality to every interaction. We are so lucky to have her as a respite in our busy schedule.
On top of her outstanding care, Twyla is reliable, on-time, and professional, and communicative.
She is looking for a full-time position and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
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 our family but know that she will continue to be part of our family.
We are helping our wonderful Nanny of 6 years look for new family to partner with, as both of our children are now in school. She is loving, sweet, calm, extremely organized, and imaginatively playful with our kids, and has been from day 1! Because she has become a special part of our family, we want to help her find her next position. Also fluent in Spanish and English.
Celine has been with our family for 5 years. She joined us when our son was just four months old, and later helped us raise our twin daughters, who are now three.
She is truly exceptional—dependable, trustworthy, loving, and a joy to work with. She has brought warmth, consistency, and genuine care into our children’s lives, creating a nurturing environment that has helped them thrive. She speaks exclusively in French with the children, and we’re so happy that they are being raised bilingual.
While we no longer require full-time care starting September, saying goodbye to Celine is one of the hardest parts of this transition! She has become a cherished member of our household, and we will miss her tremendously. We are committed to helping her find another wonderful family, and can say with complete confidence that anyone would be lucky to have her.
