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.
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.
We’re sadly parting ways with our incredible nanny at the end of August, as our family’s needs are changing, and we’d love to help her find a new family to work with.
She has been with us for about 1.5 years and has truly become part of our family. She’s been amazing with our son from infancy — calm, confident, and completely at ease with newborns.
Having had other nannies before with our older daughter, we knew what “great” looked like, and she exceeded every expectation.
She prepared age-appropriate meals for our son, kept him on a consistent nap schedule at home, and cared for him with so much love and attention. What’s more, she was incredibly engaging with our older daughter — to this day, our daughter still lights up every morning when she arrives.
Beyond childcare, she was a huge support in our day-to-day routine. She handled errands, did laundry twice a week, prepped meals as needed, and always left our apartment tidy — dishes done, everything in its place — even after the busy morning rush.
She was always flexible with her time, staying late or helping on weekends when needed.
We truly feel so lucky to have had her and will miss her dearly. Any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their home.
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.
With over 10 years of experience in childcare and a background as a nurse’s assistant, Shellyann is seeking a live-out position, ideally with a younger child (0 – 2 years old) on the Upper East Side. She has been instrumental in creating a nurturing and educational environment for our children, adept at managing everything from daily care routines to arranging educational play and activities.
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.
We met Luz through Mommybites, and from the very first interview, she completely blew us away. We knew immediately that she would be an amazing caregiver for our daughter. Luz began her journey with our family as part of a nanny share, simultaneously caring for our five-month-old daughter and another family’s baby of the same age. She made it look effortless, seamlessly managing both infants with warmth, expertise, and care.
Luz is incredibly attentive, always proactively seeking opportunities to enrich our daughter’s days. She consistently introduces new experiences, activities, and educational moments, demonstrating a deep understanding of child development. With years of childcare experience, Luz instinctively knows how to handle any situation calmly and effectively, ensuring our daughter always feels secure, engaged, and loved.
When the other family moved away, we continued having Luz care for our daughter alone, and their bond has only grown deeper and more beautiful. Luz has truly cultivated a wonderful relationship with our daughter, who absolutely adores her. It is clear Luz views caregiving not just as a job, but as a genuine calling. Her warmth, patience, and dedication have made her feel like an integral part of our family.
As we prepare to move at the end of September, we often joke about wanting to take Luz with us—and honestly, we would if we could. She has been such an invaluable presence in our lives, shaping our daughter’s earliest years in the most positive way imaginable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Luz and are certain that any family she works with next will quickly see just how special she truly is.
Note: Luz is available for Queens and Western Long Island.
We have been so lucky to have Linda in our lives for the past 5 years, when I found her on this very website! She has been with us since our son was 2 months old. We went through COVID/Quarantine together and consider her part of our family! At the moment we are hoping to find her a family with an infant, who she can work with in the mornings, prior to picking up our son from school in the afternoon. We no longer have need for full time hours and would love to get her more work! We have held on to her this long, despite our son being in school, because we love her so much, and even more importantly, our son loves her so much.
About Linda: she is the most responsible nanny around. She has never been late, never cancelled last minute, is respectful and careful with our son (who is wild and needs some reigning in!) She is warm, loving, and has decades of experience. Multiple families have benefited from her support over many, many years, and she is still in touch with old kids that she used to take care of- some of whom are now in college. I have a busy job and I could not do it without her support, knowing that my son is in excellent, loving hands, and that she will always be there in the morning when she says she will. We live on the UES of Manhattan, so in order to make this work, we would probably want someone who is located around there (UES, midtown, maybe somewhere on the 6 line). Please reach out and I can tell you more!
Our wonderful, sweet and loving nanny will be available for a full-time position starting 9/1 because our son will be in school full time. Grace and our son adore each other, and he adjusted to her incredibly easily even though he normally distrusts strangers. She speaks English and Spanish and has taught our son many Spanish words and phrases. She also organizes and attends many playdates with him, as well as taking him to the playgrounds, the zoo, classes, etc. She and our son have a truly special relationship and we’re very sad to part with her. We would be more than happy to serve as a reference and give more details about our experience.
With full hearts, we’re looking to help our beloved nanny Martha find her next family starting this September.
Martha has been with us for over four incredible years, and saying goodbye is truly bittersweet. We had hoped for many more years together, but due to an upcoming move to a different part of Brooklyn, the commute will no longer be manageable for her. While we’re heartbroken to part ways, we’re also committed to helping her find a new family who will appreciate and adore her as much as we do.
Hiring Martha was one of the most important and best decisions we made as new parents. From the moment she joined our family, she brought so much love and wisdom into our home. Our children (now 4 and 1) absolutely adore her, and the bond they share is so strong that many people assume she’s their Abuelita.
Martha is a warm, nurturing and highly skilled caregiver. With a background in early childhood education, she created a rich, bilingual environment full of art projects, stories, music, and thoughtful daily routines. “Escuela de Martha,” as we lovingly called it, was a place of joy, structure and discovery.
She has helped shape our children into kind, curious, and respectful little humans all while quietly keeping our household running smoothly. Martha has a beautiful way of modeling values through everyday moments. She’s deeply attentive, proactive, and genuinely invested in every stage of a child’s development. The loving, responsible adult she raised in her own son speaks volumes about her character.
Beyond her work in our home, Martha helped build community with other families by organizing playdates, outings, and celebrations that brought people together. With both parents working from home, she was a true partner who was always thoughtful about ensuring our children had the highest standard of care.
Martha is fluent in Spanish and conversational in English. She is looking for a long-term position with one baby (ideally starting from infancy), in a pet-free home. She prefers to work in Manhattan.
We feel so lucky to have had Martha in our lives, and would be happy to speak with any family considering her. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Pema has been a wonderful part of our family for many years. She is loved by our girls and also cleans and cooks for the family. She is extremely responsible and trustworthy. I am happy to provide more information. Please contact me at 646-703-1652.
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.
Antoinette has been with us for over 5 years since our first son was 3 months old. Before we met her, I wasn’t sure if I could get over the anxiety of leaving my baby to go back to work, but at our first interview, Antoinette calmed all my fears with how lovingly she took care of him. She is a confident caretaker, always putting the best interests of the children first. She is trustworthy and reliable. Antoinette arranged play dates and brought the kids to the park and other activities to make sure they had engaging and fun days and helped them have schedules to keep our house running smoothly. She quickly become another member of our family. I was constantly getting compliments from other parents who would see her interacting with our kids while we were out. With our children getting older, we no longer need a full time nanny and are so sad to have her leave us (that is an understatement), but we would love to see her go to a new special family. Antoinette is looking for another family where she can watch the babies grow and be a part of their development. You’ll be lucky to have her on your family team!
*Amazing FT nanny available*
Cindy is looking for her next family in NYC. She covered for our regular nanny for 8 weeks and was SO sweet, caring, attentive, reliable, responsible, flexible, and easy to be around! She bonded so quickly with our toddler and understood her schedule and preferences right away. We always knew our daughter was in good hands with her. Any family would be lucky to have her!
Cindy ideally wants to join a family with one child of any age.
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.
I strongly recommend Ana she is a devoted nanny, Ana is an honest and reliable nanny your baby will be in the best hands. As a mature and lovely nanny, she has knowledge how to prepare baby’s food, sleep trainings, always flexible, never rushes, and she loves to read, play and sing; keeping babies happy and teaching so much.
Ana was our nanny for several years. She started when my oldest was 7 months old and taught me how to become a better mom. When our second baby came she was there throughout it all and I am forever grateful for her. She is attentive and loving to the children in her care. My children love her and will ask to see her when we travel back to NYC. We will always have a special bond with Ana as she was a true asset to our family. Ana has a can do attitude and is truly an amazing nanny/person.
We hope that Ana finds a wonderful family to work with. Ana is a Baby Nurse, AED, CPR, Fully Covid, Flu, Tdap, vaccines to be in charge of babies and children’s. Please, after you interviewed in person and explain your job details to Ana if you match feel free to reach out to me for any questions. She also she had long term references from families worked before me.
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.
For two and a half years, Tsering has cared for our almost three-year-old daughter. Come September, our daughter will be in a 3’s program full-time and so we would love to help Tsering find another family to support in her incomparably tender way.
Tsering is a loving, gentle and devoted caregiver. She is unerringly punctual and reliable and has worked as a nanny on the Upper West Side since 2007 so she is more than familiar with the neighborhood. She also cooks delicious Tibetan food (never thought that our toddler’s most requested meal would be “momo”) and always leaves our apartment spotless, which it never is when she arrives! Tsering takes initiative finding fun activities for our daughter – they are usually out and about at museums or in the park, and she has facilitated socializing with a group of children around the same age who have become our daughter’s core group of playmates. Tsering has been an absolutely perfect fit for our family and we will miss her kind, sweet and calm presence in our daily lives.
Happy to answer any questions about Tsering and, of course, will enthusiastically provide her contact info upon request.
