Manhattan Nannies

Amazing Nanny available:

Our wonderful nanny, Karen, is seeking a full-time position starting ASAP (M-F +/- 40 hours/week). She’s been with us for about two years. She’s an amazing nanny, great with children! She taught our daughter to walk, talk, count, say her ABC’s etc. Her responsibilities were primarily related to our daughter: food preparation, her dishes, bathing, laundry, as well as taking her to local classes: Gymboree, Music, Storytime, Side by Side, Doctor’s appointments, etc. She does it all!

Karen has been an integral part of our family. And even stayed with us to ensure our daughter has adjusted to school. This goes to show her wonderful character. But most importantly, Karen is a warm, patient, forward-thinking nanny who loves our daughter like her own. She has a gift with children and is both fun-loving and firm.

Her ideal employment would be with a baby or young child. Karen is a US citizen with an adult daughter. She is available to start this ASAP, but can be flexible regarding the start date. You can DM with any questions or reach out to her directly at 347-423-5691.

RECOMMENDATION:

Kristie has been an integral part of our family for over four years. During that time, she has proven to be a reliable, warm, and trusted caregiver for our two children.  

Kristie joined our family when our daughter was almost one year old. Kristie provided full service care from day one — changing diapers, naps, food prep and feeding, attending various baby classes and scheduling play dates. Kristie was instrumental in helping our daughter develop into the fun, creative, and thoughtful five year old she is today. Kristie’s calm demeanor has also been an important, positive, and stable influence on our son, whom she has cared for together with our daughter everyday.  

Both of our children are currently in school until 2:30pm. Kristie prepares snacks for them and organizes their afterschool needs (sports equipment, mostly) before school pickup.  From there, Kristie shuttles them to their after school activities before heading home for homework, bath and cool down play before dinner. During summer vacation or days when there is no school, Kristie often takes our children on excursions to Coney Island, the Brooklyn Acquarium, and both the Central Park and Prospect Park Zoos, traveling safely together on the bus or subway each way.  Kristie also does the children’s laundry each week.    

Our children developed a special bond with Kristie over the years and we are sad to part ways with her.  We know, however, that our loss will be another family’s gain. 

We were very fortunate to have Kristie as part of our lives and confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated and trustworthy caregiver.

Fun, loving, experience nanny available. Kelly has experience with children of all ages and would be a great fit for the next family. She came into our lives at a time where we needed her the most, and became the missing link to making everything work for us. She never made me feel overbearing and she became a true partner in raising our daughter offering guidance, encouragement and so much care. Her level of understanding, empathy, and supportiveness will always be appreciated. Kelly listened to and respected our priorities and how we wanted things done. We trusted her to use her discretion to keep our child safe. We respected her personal time, but, when we asked, Kelly was able to be flexible with her schedule.
Kelly is more than a nanny, she became part of our family, and any family will be incredibly lucky to have her. She brings not only experience and reliability, but a genuine love that shines through everything she does.

Mariam (“Mimi”) was a caregiver for our two children who were 3 and 8 years old when Mimi first came to work with us. She has been a dedicated, loving and responsible nanny for our family for three years. She was in charge of taking the children to and from school each day, including driving them to school and to afterschool activities. She is an excellent and cautious driver, and there are very few people we trust to drive our children around. She did the children’s laundry and cleaned up after them; she packed their bags for weekends away; and she created fun and engaging activities for them, including playdates, trips to the museum and the playground. Mimi has lots of energy and is always smiling. She has a warm and loving personality while also maintaining boundaries for the children. Mimi was never late to work in the entire time she worked for our family. She is extremely dependable, responsible and flexible – she would travel to be with us in the summer and over holidays to our second home and would stay late on weeknights if we had events or plans after work, making everything very seamless. Over the years, I have received unsolicited feedback from other parents and teachers about Mimi’s attentiveness, care and love for our children. Mimi’s next family will be lucky to work with her. We would be happy to provide any additional information that would be helpful.

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 2 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. I would appreciate it if you first spoke with Ana, interviewed her, and informed her of your details regarding schedule, days, and salary. If you both agree, we can create a schedule and discuss what Ana is like as a nanny. I will answer any question about Ana. Ana has others amazing letters of recommendation too.

We are relocating out of state in late December and are sadly leaving our nanny, Kaysher, behind. She has been with us for over 3 years and is incredibly loving, attentive, and reliable. She treats our girls (ages 4 and 2) like family. She has fantastic instincts, and I trust her judgment 100%, but at the same time she is excellent at following very specific instructions when I provide them (like with baby feeding and sleep schedule). Moms who see her at classes and the playground go out of their way to tell me how wonderful she is. I can’t recommend Kaysher enough, and it pains me that she can’t join us when we move! She is looking for full-time work and can be flexible on start date (preferably January-February so she can help support us through our move!) Please reach out to me if interested.

Aurora has been a wonderful nanny to our three-year-old, and we feel truly fortunate to have had her as part of our family here in Manhattan. She is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and proactive—always anticipating what we need and handling every task with professionalism and care. Aurora genuinely loves children, and it shows in the warm, patient, and engaging way she interacts with them. She is flexible with her time, often staying late when needed, and consistently goes above and beyond in everything she does. With over ten years of experience and an exceptional work ethic, Aurora would be an asset to any family lucky enough to have her.

I’m writing to recommend Silvia Flores-Aragon to help her find a new family Silvia joined our family in October 2021, helping to take care of my daughter when she was just 3 months old.I believe you will be pleased to have Silvia as a part of your family.

Silvia is kind, caring, friendly and prides herself on working diligently. I’ve been impressed with Silvia’s ability to manage a diverse set of responsibilities. Despite her age, she is mature, composed and is always striving to achieve her goals. Most importantly, I trust Silvia completely and I’m pleased to recommend her to another family that will definitely be lucky to have her. Beyond her natural talent with children, Silvia demonstrated great responsibility in managing schedules, including school pickups, sports practices, and doctor’s appointments. Her communication skills were excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our children’s daily.

activities and milestones. I wholeheartedly recommend Silvia as a nanny . She is dependable, thoughtful, and has a genuine love for children. Please feel free to contact me should you need any more information.

You can text or call me for more info 718-288-6210

We are happy to refer our former amazing nanny Bibi for her next position! Bibi is absolutely fantastic. Our family has been so lucky to have her with us and she’s helped us raise our two boys (3 years old and 9 months old). Bibi is so warm and loving with the children and our boys absolutely adore her. She is so proactive with facilitating their development and is very outgoing. She set up a whole neighborhood play group for our kids and is great about taking them to activities and the park. She helped create nap time and feeding schedules for the kids and was on top of everything related to their care. She is extremely dependable and a very hard worker, and was always willing to come early or stay late as needed. Any family would be lucky to have her! You can reach out to her at 347-277-1212.

We’d love to recommend our amazing nanny, Vale, who is now looking for a new position. She is truly wonderful — patient, loving, and always one step ahead.

Vale has over three years of experience working with twins. She started caring for twin girls when they were just 3 months old, providing full infant care and later transitioning to toddler care. She also occasionally babysits their 7-year-old brother.
She’s active, organized, and very engaging with the children, always planning fun, age-appropriate activities like trips to playgrounds, the zoo, and museums. Vale works closely with parents to build and follow routines for meals, naps, and activities.

Vale provides bilingual care (English and Spanish), is CPR certified, a safe driver, and COVID vaccinated. She’s also experienced working with diverse and queer families and caring for friendly pets. She’s incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and the kids absolutely adore her.

She recently started school, so her current availability is Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. She is looking for a position caring for a baby (she’s amazing with infants!) and is seeking a minimum of 35 hours per week, up to 40.
Any family would be lucky to have her!

Hi! I’m posting this post on behalf of our beloved nanny who was with us for 2 years (from the time my daughter was 2 months to 2 years, recently ended her time with us as our daughter transitioned into school). She is a bright, happy, positive, loving person who absolutely loves and cares for children. She is extremely punctual (never been late or called out unexpectedly) and responsible. She is very trustworthy and was able to take our daughter around the city by stroller/bus/train/cab to various activities, the park, and doctors visits. She fostered a love of reading in our daughter and helped to progress her speech and learning significantly. She is able to take the lead and notice/encourage all transitions (transitions to solids, changes in nap schedules, transition off bottle, potty training, etc). She does not require hand-holding, she is excellent at picking up on cues and meeting transitional needs. She performed any/all ancillary household nanny duties pertaining to children (cleaning up, maintaining tidy drawers and stroller, meal prep/cooking her meals, laundry, cleaning play area, etc).

Overall, we cannot recommend her enough – she is truly someone who has a real passion for childcare backed with significant experience (in children of all ages), who is trustworthy, clean, and able to translate her happy, positive personality on the kids she cares for. As a testament, we have been asked how we found her by numerous families during our time together! We hope we can aid in finding her a new family to shine her light on! If you’re interested pls message me id be happy to put you in touch! She is looking for a full time live out position & speaks fluent English.

Yuby cared for our son from the time he was 6 months old until he turned 2, and she became an invaluable part of our family. She cared for him with so much love, patience, and attentiveness, and we always knew he was in wonderful hands.

Every day, she took him outside for hours to explore, play, and socialize in different environments, playgrounds, parks and his friends playrooms. She found creative ways to engage him with neighborhood classes and was incredibly resourceful, discovering free programs at local recreation centers, libraries, and community events. Thanks to her, our son made many little friends and developed a strong sense of curiosity and confidence.

At home, she prepared healthy, homemade meals, chicken, beef, salmon, vegetables, pasta sauces, and yogurt parfaits, always with no added sugar. She handled his laundry, changed his sheets several times a week, gave him a bath every evening, kept his play area tidy, and cleaned the kitchen and dishwasher daily. She was diligent about diaper changes, proactive about his doctor visits, and never distracted by her phone.

Beyond her daily responsibilities, Yuby cared deeply about his emotional and intellectual development. She celebrated milestones with genuine joy and even organized his 1st and 2nd birthday parties with his neighborhood friends, which meant so much to us.

Our son adored her, as soon as he was able, he gave her a hug every day when she left. We will miss her greatly!

Due to changes in our childcare needs, our amazing nanny is looking to join a new family. We adore Melissa. She has helped our daughter flourish into a happy and resilient child over the past years. Melissa takes remarkable initiative in arranging playdates with children our daughter meets in classes, at the playground, school, or even through her own extensive network. These social interactions, carefully supervised by Melissa, have been instrumental in developing our daughter’s confidence and interpersonal abilities. I cannot overstate the positive impact Melissa’s care has had on our daughter’s development. She is incredibly creative in furthering our daughter’s learning through arts and crafts, physical activities, fine motor skills development, museum visits, songs, number/letter recognition, imaginative play, and more. She regularly identifies activities, classes and educational opportunities that align with our daughter’s interests. While we’re sad that our daughter is getting older and our childcare needs are changing, we know another family will benefit tremendously from Melissa’s love, guidance, and exceptional caregiving, just as we have. Melissa can be contacted at sthilairemelissa5@gmail.com or 201-455-9527. I can be reached at Claire.doucette@gmail.com

Britney was the full-time caretaker for my daughter when she was about ages 3-6, and Britney was a reliable, loving member of our household during that time.

She was playful and fun — she would proactively arrange playdates and spend entire days outside with my daughter and other children. Britney would get the kids jumping and dancing, playing freeze dance or other organized activities when she saw they needed a bit more structure. She formed a tight bond with some of the other nannies from my daughter’s preschool, so they had a nice support network, too. Britney was shuttling my daughter around a lot for those few years — to and from school, to playdates or gymnastics or swimming lessons (or taking my daughter swimming herself) and she never complained and had the patience of a saint to walk at my daughter’s pace. And somehow she’d still manage to have my kid home at the end of the day, bathed, a meal prepared for her and the house tidy.

Britney has excellent judgment. I always felt my child was safe in her care and if Britney felt they were not in a good situation, whether it was a child not making kind choices while playing with my daughter or a questionable environment, she was vocal and would advocate for herself and my daughter. She really does not tolerate someone being unkind or inappropriate, which I appreciate and think she set a good example for my daughter.

I trusted her completely when it came to my daughter’s safety and wellbeing. Britney was always early to arrive in the morning, early to pickups and great at communicating. She also became very attuned to my daughter’s moods and needs; if she noticed something seemed off emotionally or physically, she’d let me know immediately and we’d often work together to get to understand what was going on. She was firm and would hold boundaries, but still warm and loving.

Alejandra (Ale) joined our family when our son was 6 months old. We immediately loved her warmth and positive energy in our house. Ale brings experience in nutrition, in addition to her overall experience in childcare. This helped us as we were introducing our son to solids, and as we looked to wean him off the bottle. She immediately got our son onto a schedule, something we didn’t really know how to do! Ale has developed a wonderful bond with our son, she takes great care of him and helps keep us all organized. We’ve decided to enroll our son in a school in January, and are hoping to help Ale find her next family. Ale is a Spanish speaker, which has been great to expose him to Spanish. In addition to overall childcare, she manages all of his laundry and makes sure the house is always picked up (especially his things). She regularly takes him to the park, or other activities we find. She also likes to sing, read books, and keep our son laughing. (I should also say she always picks out the cutest outfits to put him in!). I work from home and always feel comfortable with Ale in the house – she finds a good balance to be in the apartment with me, but make sure that my son is out of my hair when I’m in meetings or busy. Any family would be lucky to have Ale taking care of their baby.

We met MariaRosa at the start of the pandemic when our oldest daughter had just turned one. We immediately felt a good connection and after a couple months began using her as our full time nanny. We never had to give much instruction, MariaRosa jumped right in and began helping us with everything. She was lovely with our daughter and kept her busy with activities and outings to the park. She kept on top of all of our daughters needs and would buy new outwear or shoes whenever she outgrew old items. She helped our daughter learn how to walk and was constantly working on helping her learn new words and songs. She kept our home tidy and our daughter’s room organized. She would box up old clothes as our daughter outgrew them and keep everything labeled. She did laundry for our whole family and helped make meals and snacks for our daughter. When our oldest started school she helped with school drop offs and pick ups and taking her to various after school activities. She would have everything ready like the ballet bag packed and soccer bag packed with all needed clothing changes and snacks and drinks. She also organized play dates with other Nanny’s and classmates after school. When our younger daughter was born she was there helping us the whole time. She stayed with our older daughter for three days while we were in the hospital and worked very long days in those early weeks helping in any way she could. She was so sweet and most people thought she was a relative. She helped watch our newborn daughter while our oldest was in school and then they would all go out together in the afternoons before returning for dinner. Last year both our girls were in school and she helped in the mornings with drop off and then would help with laundry and housework during the morning and then would do two different school pickups and took the girls to all their afternoon activities.

MariaRosa also traveled with my family a few times. She would have the girls packed beforehand and everything would be labeled by day. She helped watch the girls in transit and helped have them ready for each days activities and then watched them at the hotel or helped with bedtime routine each night.
A couple trips we took we left our girls at home and MariaRosa would stay with them while we were away.

I cannot sing her enough praise. She is truly an amazing nanny and we were so sad to part ways. She was with us for about five and a half years. We only parted ways because we had to move out of state for my husbands job. I’m happy to answer any additional questions you may have.

If you want someone who’s professional, experienced, and amazing with newborns, Tizzony is the one. She has over 7 years of experience and has worked with me as well as other families I know, always going above and beyond.

Tizzony is an overnight baby nurse, giving parents a chance to rest while knowing their baby is in safe, loving hands. She’s patient, caring, and knowledgeable, and I trusted her completely from the very first night. She also gives helpful tips and guidance to make those early weeks easier.

We can’t recommend her enough!

Jen seamlessly joined our family in January right after our son was born. She brought with her many years of experience and a sense of calm that instilled confidence in two new parents nervous about the transition back to work. She has been with us for four years, caring for our son and daughter since we returned to work after each was born. Our kids absolutely love her. We recently moved to New Jersey, which is why we are helping Jen to find a full-time position with a family she can grow with.

Jen is a knowledgeable and experienced childcare professional with 25+ years experience as a nanny working with all age kids, especially babies and toddlers. First and foremost, she is loving and patient. She has cared for our children (and for us) as though they are members of her own family. She is always attentive to our children’s ever evolving needs and has supported our family through many milestones – sleep training, learning to eat, physical milestones, potty training, welcoming a second child to the mix etc.. She has ensured that our children eat delicious and nutritious meals since she joined our family (our kids love her cooking!). She keeps the kids rooms and toys neat even with 2 kids constantly on the go, and the kids always have clean laundry and beds. She is always on time and is flexible to start early or stay later when we have a need that arises.

Jen also loves to be out and about with the kids, taking them around the neighborhood to parks and playgrounds, to gym & music classes, and organizing playdates. At home she sings and reads to them, and gets down on the floor with them to play. She sends pictures during the day so my husband and I feel a part of their adventures.

We cannot speak highly enough of Jen, and are happy to get on a reference call and share more about Jen live. She has become an important part of our family, and we are confident she will do the same with her next family.
