Our amazing nanny Tsering is looking for full time work in Manhattan starting in the summer or fall of 2025. She has been with us for the past 3 years, starting when our son was 5 months old. Tsering has been indispensable to us from day one – she is extremely knowledgeable of childhood development and has been an incredible partner in helping us as first-time parents navigating important milestones (transitioning to walking, transitioning to solid foods, potty training, etc). She and our son have a very special bond – she is patient and kind but firm in setting boundaries and expectations. She has boundless energy and is always engaging him in new and enriching activities – going to the park, play dates, singing and dancing, art projects, reading, sports, etc. She is very friendly and proactive – when we moved to Park Slope in November 2023, within a few weeks she had formed a new group of nannies and children and had figured out the best free activities in the neighborhood. She also does light housework (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, general tidying) without being asked, so I always come home to a house that is neater than when I left. We trust Tsering implicitly with all decisions relating to our child – we often seek her advice and consider her to be like a third parent. With our son starting school full-time in the fall we are very sad to be losing her but want to support her in her next adventure! She is a very special person and would be a great asset to any family. If you need any more information please let me know.
Alice has been our nanny for the last 5 years, and is wonderful! If I were to describe her in 3 words they would be: cautious, caring, reliable. Alice started when our youngest was just 3 months old, and our oldest was 3. They are now 5 and 8.
She is fantastic with infants, and was diligent about keeping the schedule I wanted. She potty-trained our little one with barely any work on our part. She took our children to school, picked them up, got them to after school activities, bathed them, coordinated playdates, prepped meals, and did their laundry 1-2x a week.
Our girls love and respect her. They are excited when she arrives every morning, and follow her directions and rules to a tee. She worked with boys in her 2 prior jobs so has experience with all kids and energy levels. She is extremely cautious. I never ever worry about her with the girls, where she takes them, or that she is watching them closely and not on her phone.
She has grown children of her own and typically works 50 hours a week, but is flexible to help with additional hours if she is given notice. She is always on time, extremely polite, conscientious and well-liked/respected by other parents, teachers and caregivers in our circle. I would be MORE than happy to provide references, and connect you with her prior families as well.
Alejandra is a responsible and punctual person, she is always willing to help, the way she treats children is spectacular, she is a loving person and always treats people with respect, she is active and proactive always trying to teach and play with children, she likes to take her lovely children for walks in the park to libraries or other activities that are set up, in her free time she always tries to help with household chores and even cooking. If you are looking for someone to help you and at the same time love your children, she is the ideal person.
Sattie has been working for our family for a while now – initially looking after my second son until he started preschool and then looking after my youngest since he was 6 weeks old. We are now moving overseas for an extended period which is why I would love to find Sattie a new family to join who will love her as we have.
Sattie is kind, loving, generous and adores children. My middle son, who does not naturally take to most people, has loved her from the moment she entered our house. The baby squeels and kicks and flaps excitedly as soon as he hears the doorbell in the morning. Even my oldest, who is neurodivergent, trusts her and feels safe with her.
Importantly, whenever Sattie walks in the door, it’s like a huge weight is lifted from me. She is such an amazing carer for the kids, but she also looks after me, doing little things to help out whenever she can, just to make my life a bit easier (I have 3 busy boys).
Over the time that Sattie has worked for us, she has been reliable, on time, flexible with our chaotic lives and always happy to take direction. She prepared my son for preschool by practicing letters, and numbers, reading to him every day, doing arts and crafts and teaching him some Spanish. She speaks Spanish to the baby as well and reads to him every day, structuring his day around learning and fun. With both kids, she has always taken them out every day to let them get fresh air and exercise and find them little friends to meet with regularly at the playground.
Sattie communicates everything clearly about my kids’ day. She is a miracle-worker at getting them to nap in the day (far better than their parents) and helped out with toilet-training my middle son. I would whole-heartedly recommend Sattie as a nannie and would be happy to answer any other questions.
I am pleased to write this letter in strong support of Dianne Gopee for a nanny position. What began as a chance encounter at a playground grew into our most valued working relationship for our family. Starting out with our two young children, Dianne had to multitask and manage difficult situations ranging from child sickness to varying school schedules, all which she handled with skill and grace.
As our children got older, Dianne’s role evolved and developed into what could be described as a House Manager. The kids’ schedules became more complicated with sports, school and tutoring and Dianne took on more responsibility with food shopping, cooking and cleaning and continued to demonstrate immense reliability and strong work ethic.
I have witnessed firsthand Dianne’s dedication and professionalism. Others have too, frequently other families would approach her to work for them and lamented the fact that they could not find someone who measured up to Dianne’s caring, kindness and enthusiasm.
Dianne has consistently demonstrated quick problem-solving and attention to detail. Regardless of the situation her thoughtfulness and personable nature puts everyone around her at ease. I have no doubt that Dianne will contribute greatly to any family, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything further.
The Kojak family highly recommends Tonni, she saved us and we are forever grateful…
This young lady haves what it takes caring for children, she is very passionate about her job. Tonni is our Mary Poppins. We literally didn’t know anything about caring for children, we were taught everything as simple as diapers changing, tips about breastfeeding, bathing, etc…
She took my kids everywhere and I trust her with them…My children adore her and so do we.
We are looking for an amazing family for her. Our lost is your gain.
Trust me you wouldn’t regret it.
Please reach out to me for more information.
Thanks.
We’re heartbroken to be moving away from the city and leaving our incredible nanny who has been with us for the last two years. We can’t recommend her highly enough- she has become an integral part of our family and a second mother to our children!
Returning to work after maternity leave can always be difficult, but Gloria made the transition seamless. She began caring for our daughter when she was 6 weeks old (now 2) and the bond was instant. For the last two years, they have attended a number of infant and toddler classes, helping our daughter make friends while learning. When our older son (5) is out of school, she confidently takes both to the park, zoo, museum, etc. She’s active and engaged and also supports our household by doing light cleaning and preparing meals and snacks for the kids. Additionally, Gloria speaks Spanish to our daughter and son, facilitating their bilingual education! Overall, she is warm, caring, intuitive, patient and treated our son and daughter as her own. I should also add that she is patient with us, as parents- at times, we’ve had a last minute request for her to stay late or arrive early and she has kindly obliged.
While she’s ideally looking for a new family in Brooklyn, she is willing to commute for the right match.
Please reach out to me if interested or for more information. She has been a steady, loving presence in our home and we would love to connect her with another caring family.
It’s with deep appreciation that I write this recommendation for Jay, who has been a truly wonderful and loving nanny to our children. Jay is not only an honest and reliable person, but also an incredibly warm and tender-hearted caregiver. Her presence has been a true gift to our family—we genuinely wouldn’t be where we are today without the care and attention she’s given our little one.
Jay has been with us since our first child was six months old, and now, at over two years old, has helped him transition to his 2s program last fall. We’ve watched him flourish under her thoughtful care. She is now taking care of our six month old but sadly, due to our upcoming move upstate this summer, our time with her is coming to an end. Jay will be available for full-time employment beginning September 2025.
From day one, we’ve felt entirely at ease knowing our child was in Jay’s capable and nurturing hands. She is soft-spoken in the most calming and gentle way, yet she’s also proactive, dependable, and incredibly punctual—we’ve never once had to worry about her being late or unprepared.
While both of us work from home, Jay took the initiative to ensure our child had enriching daily experiences outside the house. She regularly brought him to local activities including the Central Library, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Botanic Garden, music classes, neighborhood parks, and playgrounds throughout Prospect Heights. She’s also made a concerted effort to build a community by connecting with other local nannies who care for children around the same age, helping our child form meaningful friendships and grow alongside peers.
We are profoundly grateful for the 2.5+ years Jay has been a part of our lives. Her care, dedication, and love have had a lasting and positive impact on our children’s early development—and on us as parents. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to speak further.
We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend our nanny, Dione, who has cared for our son with pure dedication and warmth.
From the beginning of her time with us, Dione has demonstrated genuine attentiveness and care. She is not only reliable and trustworthy but also truly engaged in his development and happiness. She brings a wonderful balance of playfulness and structure to his days, and their bond is a joy to witness.
One of the qualities we value most is her thoughtfulness in fostering a sense of curiosity and social skills. She frequently takes him to the library, and encourages him to develop friendships with other children by organizing play dates in the park.
Beyond her one-on-one care, Dione is respectful, communicative, and a tremendous support in managing everything our son needs—from meals and routines to emotional support and care when he is sick. She has truly been an integral part of our family’s day-to-day life, and we have the utmost confidence in her abilities and judgment.
Given our work schedules we need to find live-in care for our two sons and so are hoping to help Dione find her next family.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
Sandra, a seasoned career nanny with over 25 years of experience, joined our family when our twins were 4.5 months old and cared for them until they were 3 years old. She surpassed my expectations, being warm, thoughtful, engaging, and deeply committed to children. Sandra is calm, confident, punctual, neat, and trustworthy. She helped our children learn boundaries and routines with kindness and consistency, collaborating closely with us and supporting me as a new mother. Sandra has extensive experience with twins and multiples and is available for as-needed babysitter.
Nicole has been with our family since 2007. She has been an integral part of the lives of our children, now ages 18 and 15. Nicole provides strength, comfort, guidance and warmth. Nicole’s dedication to our children is incomparable.
My husband and I rely on Nicole too (sometimes even more than our children do). Nicole is the first person I call in the morning, and she is always eager to hear how the children got off to school and if there was anything about which she should be aware.
Everything I know about parenting I learned from Nicole.
Nicole is deeply committed to her family, to our family, to her friends and to her community. We are so fortunate to have her in our lives.
AMAZING NANNY AVAILABLE
Tasi was with us since my daughter was 6mos (she’s now 3.5). She is in her mid 50s and very active! She is loving, attentive, playful. She was never on her phone around my daughter. She cooked fresh meals 3x a day, cares about what friends are a good fit for playdates, and paid attention to my daughter’s interests. She also helped around the house during nap time (light tidying etc.). I paid her 28/hr and award vacation, sick days etc. she would prefer one child but is open to more. She also has a preference for a four day week but will work full time. Tasi has helped my daughter become a confident, highly verbal, and polite toddler. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! I’m hoping to find her a new employer that will appreciate how committed a caregiver she is. Tasi can be contacted on 646-961-9714. I can be contacted for a reference on (Nisa: 612-323-2486).
We’re heartbroken to be moving out of NYC this fall, which means we’ll be parting ways with our beloved nanny, Denise. Denise has been with us full-time since our daughter was just a few months old, and she has become an irreplaceable part of our lives. She is deeply reliable — arriving every day on time, never missing a day unexpectedly, and never taking off without plenty of notice. She is fully present and engaged: she does not use her phone or devices when she’s with our daughter, and we’ve always admired her focus and care.
With 25+ years of experience, Denise knows Brooklyn like the back of her hand — she’s always out and about with our daughter at parks, classes, libraries, and playdates. She has taught our little one so many skills, from sign language to social play, and we’ve been amazed at how much our daughter has learned under her care. We trust Denise completely and hope she finds a family that will value her as much as we do.
Anne has worked with our family as a nanny since our child was 3 months old—he is now almost 3. We no longer need a full-time nanny, but parting with Anne is difficult because she has exceeded every expectation. Anne has 12 years of experience, speaks fluent English, is a phenomenal cook, and excels at organizing playdates. She has truly become part of our family. She is especially skilled with babies under 1 and hopes to work with a family in that stage. One of Anne’s most valuable traits is her deep knowledge of child development—her insights helped us pursue early intervention for our son at 18 months, which made a huge difference. She brings warmth, structure, and a deep sense of responsibility. Anne is attentive, loving, and truly gifted with children. We recommend her wholeheartedly to any family seeking not just a nanny but a true partner in raising their child. You can contact Anne directly by texting her at her phone number.
Savan is a loving, trustworthy nanny with over 20 years of experience. Savan worked with our family for 3 years. She started with us when our daughter was a newborn and then cared for our son as well when he was born 1 ½ years later. The only reason she is not still with us is because we moved away from NY. She is the kindest, most loving, caring person. She is reliable, responsible, flexible and independent. With her help we were able to establish a stable feeding, sleeping and activity schedule. She is very active with the kids, always takes them out to playdates, playground, classes, nature walks or plays with their toys and books. She is a very experienced nanny who has worked with four long-term families. Savan will bring an abundance of experience, professionalism and love to her next family.
Jo Segarra has been the reason my husband and I have been able to maintain our full time careers while knowing our daughter was in amazing hands. She is kind, patient, reliable, flexible, and creative. She is always sitting on the floor playing with our daughter, coming up with new songs, making sure she is safe, and enriching our daughter’s life/learning. She will be sorely missed by our family and is looking to find a new long-term commitment to another family. We worked with Jo for 1.5 years and she cared for our daughter starting when she was only 4 months old! Her strengths lie in her reliability (never showed up late to work), flexibility (was able to navigate the tough hours of a double physician household), and respectfulness (never overstepped her boundaries and always followed our instructions). She is a good-hearted, hard-working person!
Our amazing nanny, Rachel, will be available for a part-time position in the mornings, starting in September. She’s based in Crown Heights and can commute within Brooklyn or to Manhattan.
We’ve employed Rachel in a nanny share for the past 18 months, starting when the kids were 8 months old. She is warm, calm, patient, and handles two strong-willed toddlers with grace and humor. She’s supported our families through major milestones from introducing solids to nap schedules to walking.
Rachel is highly experienced and she is reliable, punctual, and communicative. She has a great network of nanny friends which has meant built-in playdates for our kids and fun outings to parks, libraries, and more. Our kids absolutely love her and we trust her completely. As both families transition to 2’s programs this fall, Rachel is continuing with us for afternoon care and is now seeking a morning position. Any family would be lucky to have her!
Since early September 2024, Crystal has been taking care of our two daughters who are 2 and 5. During the school year Crystal was with our 2 year old for most of the day but would also pick up our 5 year old after Pre-K. Although Crystal has been with us only a year, it feels like longer because she has become a part of our family. Crystal has a background in early childhood education and is a caring, responsible caregiver to our daughters. She takes our younger daughter on outings every day to places like children’s museums, story time at local libraries, neighborhood parks, and playgrounds. Crystal is always on time, rarely takes a day off, and is a trusted part of our family life.
Michelle is a wonderful nanny to my 4 year old daughter. She has been with us since my daughter was 1, we are relocating out of state unfortunately Michelle is unable to join us. Michelle has over 20 years of experience and is loving and caring. She has been a rock to our small family, the next family is lucky to have her. We will miss her dearly.
Our nanny Silvia will become available in mid August and is looking for a full-time job. Silvia has worked as our daughter’s full time nanny for the past year and a half. Silvia is kind-hearted, patient and experienced. She is trustworthy and shows up on time. She arranges playdates for our daughter and transports her to and from her various activities. Silvia sends us texts and photos during the day so that we know our daughter has arrived safely at her activities. Our daughter is now 7 years old and has matured significantly over the time Silvia has been with us. Our daughter is much more independent and knows how to respect and follow rules. Silvia has completed child/infant CPR class and completed nanny training workshops at Cornell University Workers Institute.
