Manhattan Nannies

Kartok has been with our family since 2023 – we were desperate for her to move with us to Westchester but unfortunately it does not work for her family situation. Hoping to find her another lucky family to work with!

We have two girls, a 4 year old and a newborn. Kartok regularly goes above and beyond in all aspects of her job. She is caring and loving (to both the kids and to me and my husband!), she is professional and proactive, and is a trusted and valued parenting partner for me and my husband.

Kartok never stops moving – she is always thinking of activities for our daughter and helping around the home. Our daughter also has some severe allergies and Kartok takes them as seriously as we do. I trust her implicitly with my children, and they love her and are very verbal about telling her so!

I could recommend Kartok more highly. Please reach out for more details or a formal recommendation letter!

Our beloved nanny of 11 years is seeking her next family!
Rhonda has been an absolute gift to our family and to many families in our neighborhood. With over 25 years of childcare experience, she is a highly skilled and deeply compassionate nanny, Newborn Care Specialist, and Certified Nursing Assistant. She is also First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, giving any parent complete peace of mind.
Rhonda helped raise our two children, and we truly owe her more than words can express. She is kind-hearted, reliable, flexible, loyal, generous, trustworthy, responsible, patient, calm, and incredibly loving. She consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty, and I always felt completely confident knowing my children were in her safe, capable, and nurturing hands.
Rhonda has a naturally positive attitude and warm personality, which allows her to build strong relationships with children, parents, and other caregivers alike. She is well-loved by kids and adults of all ages and is respected throughout our community.
She is ideally seeking a full-time, or part-time long-term position, preferably with newborns or babies, where she can grow alongside a family and become an integral part of their lives. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
If you are interested in speaking with Rhonda directly, she can be reached by call or text at (917) 200-7789. I would also be more than happy to speak with anyone personally as a reference.
Thank you!

Rose was like an angel to our family. She cared for our three children from babyhood to teenage years. She is a lovely person, and an enormously dedicated and hard-working employee. She is incredibly reliable and efficient, and very, very kind.

Her gentle yet quietly firm manner yielded what sometimes seemed like miracles to us. During the baby and toddler years, she was able to get our kids to eat, nap, wear mittens and heavy coats and keep to a schedule, when our efforts to do the same were often met with tantrums and tears. She efficiently organized playdates, read stories to them, and spent hours with them in the park. As they got older she continued to be a steady presence in their lives, picking them up from activities and keeping them on a homework schedule. Thanks to Rose, we would come home from a long day of work to a clean, orderly apartment with children happy, bathed and fed.

Whoever hires Rose will be incredibly lucky. I would be happy to answer any questions about her.

I highly recommend my former nanny Lois as a caregiver. Lois took care of my daughter from when she was 3 months old until she started kindergarten. Lois is unique because she was wonderful with my daughter at all those ages – as an infant who mostly needed lots of affection and a schedule followed, through the toddler and preschool days where they are constantly exploring and on the go, and through school age when they develop new interests. She truly loves taking care of kids and this comes out in every interaction. She was also an excellent partner in childcare tasks, keep toys and clothes organized, preparing healthy and delicious food, and helping me find new classes and activities for my child. My daughter still loves Lois – she babysits or comes over for dinner every couple of months and my daughter is always thrilled to see her. She’s a true gem!

I had a truly wonderful experience with Cheryl, who was an invaluable part of our family for five years. From the beginning, it was clear that caring for children wasn’t just a job for her it’s something she genuinely loves. She took the kids to the library and jamboree, always finding thoughtful activities that supported their growth, curiosity, and joy.

She prepares meals the children genuinely love, and her Jamaican food tastes better than I’ve had at restaurants. She is incredibly dependable, always punctual, reliable, and proactive, and she naturally helps with light housekeeping without being asked. She has experience with all aspects of newborn care and sleep trained my twins, getting them on a schedule.

Most importantly, she is caring, trustworthy, and attentive, creating a safe and loving environment where my children felt secure. The kids absolutely adore her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone who doesn’t just care for your children, but truly loves them.

Pearl is an absolutely incredible nanny for whom I have felt very grateful. Pearl helped me take care of my children for over 13 years. She started working with us when my older daughter was 3 and I was 8 months pregnant with my youngest, and brought her patient kind approach to each phase of my children’s lives. She is very experienced, smart, and creative. Pearl has a real knack for calming babies, engaging young children in creative art projects, and being a trusted shoulder to lean on for tweens/teens.  For working parents, she can help manage your home and always keeps kids areas well organized and the kitchen clean (my kids loved her cooking).  She is a native English speaker, U.S. Citizen, and incredibly reliable. There has always been an open line of communication between us. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

I am posting on behalf of our nanny, Kunsang, who will be available for a full time nanny position starting March 30th. Kunsang has been an exceptional caretaker for our family. She started as our full time nanny when my son was 5 months old, and he will soon be 2 years old.

Some of the things I love most about Kunsang is that she truly cares for my child’s well being – making sure he is well taken care off, gets enough activity and enrichment, coordinates play dates with her nanny network, and treats him as if he were her own son.

She has helped us track Weston’s development supporting major milestones like transitioning to solids, sitting up, crawling, walking, talking and ensuring he has practiced these skills daily. Kunsang has a teaching background and has done an incredible job teaching our child language and curiosity, and she is constantly talking to him which was instrumental in building out his speech the last year. Sleep schedules were very important to me, and Kunsang was supportive in helping transition our child from various nap schedules over the course of her time with us. Kunsang will also help with food prep, laundry and keeps our home very tidy.

Kunsang provides so much variety in Weston’s days, regardless of how cold or hot it is outside. She has a network of nannies that coordinate to meet up at playgrounds, Central Park, museums, zoo, gym or music class. Through Kunsang our son has developed friendships with 5-7 kids.

Kunsang works 9-5 and has been on time and reliable since the day she started with us. She is a great communicator whether it be about schedules, or a suggestion for Weston’s care (i.e. let’s try introducing him to tofu, maybe we should move him to 1 nap, or if he isn’t feeling well and might need medicine). We also have a 10 year old lab which has never been an issue for Kunsang.

The hardest part of leaving New York is leaving our beloved Kunsang. Any family would be lucky to have her. Please let me know if there are questions I can help answer.

Hi, posting a recommendation for my former nanny, Allie, who is available to work with a new family.

Allie was with us for over 2.5 years and key to our sanity as working parents during the hight of the pandemic. Her main qualities are that she is very trustworthy and patient. We also appreciated her flexibility to come in early or stay late whenever we asked.

Allie is ideally looking for a family in Brooklyn or Manhattan. She has experience with all ages ranging from newborns to older children.

Hello moms,

I hope you are all doing well. I’m reaching out in hopes of finding a wonderful new family for our amazing nanny Triph. She has been with our family for over 20 years, since my youngest daughter was born, taking care of everything from school pick-ups and drop-offs to cooking, helping with homework, cleaning, and all the little things in between.

Her punctuality, loving nature, extreme patience, and overall thoughtfulness have made her an invaluable part of our daily lives. In addition to working with us, she has been with another family for over 6 years.

She has become part of our family, and we are keen to find another loving home where she can continue to share her warmth and dedication. Please reach out if you or anyone you know might be interested in welcoming this wonderful nanny into your lives. You can reach me at callie.aboaf@gmail.com, 646-599-5736. Or contact Triph directly at fofonia@hotmail.com or 917-474-8431.  

Thank you so much!

My family and I recently moved to CT. I would very much like to help her find a great new family to work for and whoever gets her is going to be extremely lucky. It’s hard to describe how flawlessly Renalda managed our household and cared for my son, William. My husband and I both work, and she was an incredibly reliable partner who arrived at work punctually every day for 4 years. She made friends with other neighborhood nannies and William always had many play dates. One of Renalda’s many strengths is cooking. She is from the Philippines, and cooked the most incredible authentic healthy meals for William. Renalda did so much for William. Got him on a sleep and bottle schedule when she first started with us. William was only 5 months. Taught him his colors, letters, shapes, good manners, body parts and numbers. She is great at logistics and had William’s days beautifully planned, as well as out to play every morning and every afternoon after his nap, rain or shine. Renalda is extremely dependable, caring, loving, warm, hardworking and professional. She takes her job very seriously and has an amazing work ethic. I became pregnant with my second son, shortly after William and again when I returned to work Renalda helped me. I eventually stopped working to be home full time and Renalda and I divided and conquered with the boys. Both of my children had an instant connection and love for Renalda. I would be happy to speak to anyone more about her. I know she will get scooped up fast. She prefers not to travel with the family, which we really don’t need her to travel with us. Please feel free to call me at 717-951-0762 with any questions. You can also reach out directly to Renalda at 917-971-9308.

Our beloved nanny, Rose, has been a cornerstone of our home from the time our kids were newborns, and we truly cannot recommend her enough. She is a caring and loving presence for our children while also being a dependable and supportive partner to us.

The “Rose” Difference:

Expert Milestone Support: She has navigated every “first” with us—from first teeth/solids and sleep training to first steps and the first day of preschool.

UWS Neighborhood Pro: She knows the Upper West Side inside and out. Whether it’s the best story times at the NYPL, the right gym/ballet classes, or the best playgrounds and community spots in the west side parks, she keeps the kids active and engaged.

The “Chaos Whisperer”: Rose is exceptionally organized. She manages the “kid gear” (lunches, gear, seasonal prep) and keeps our apartment calm and orderly despite the natural chaos of young children.

Social & Community Focused: She doesn’t just watch the kids; she helps them build a life. She helped our daughter find her best friends by fostering connections at the park and in classes.

Additional Details:

Experience: Newborn and up

Temperament: Calm, kind, dependable, and highly proactive..

Location: UWS expert

We would love to see Rose with a family that will appreciate her as much as we have. She is particularly interested in caring for infants. Please feel free to contact me for further information.

Hello. Paulina has been a part of our family for nine years. She has 20+ years experience working with children in New York. She has worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and school age children. She is CPR certified. Paulina worked with our three children, starting at the age of 3 months for our first child who is currently 9 years old. My family no longer needs Paulina because we relocated. We would like to find her a full-time, live out position with a great family. She is very caring, patient, reliable, responsible, kind, warm and punctual, among many other great qualities. Paulina worked well with our children, performing duties, such as feeding, placing them on a sleep schedule, and potty training.

Additionally, Paulina prepared the children’s meals, tidied up around the spaces that they occupied and did their laundry. Paulina is knowledgeable about each stage for children, from newborn to school age and engages in activities accordingly. Our children had many wonderful days of tummy time, walks, playground visits, play dates, and fun classes that Paulina took them to. Any family that Paulina works with will find her to be a wonderful addition, as she is an excellent nanny. You can contact me with any other questions about Paulina.

We’re truly sad to be making a change and are very happy to recommend our wonderful nanny Sandra, who has been with our family for the past 6 months caring for our two little ones (6–12 months and 2.5–3). She’s only available due to a change in our childcare needs — and any family will be incredibly lucky to have her.

Why we adore her:
• Calm, kind, and completely present with the kids (never on her phone)
• Stepped into a nanny transition with so much grace and a consistently positive attitude
• Handled full daily routines effortlessly: school drop-off/pick-up, meals, baths, kids’ laundry
• Amazing at keeping the kids engaged — constantly arranging playdates and helping our kids make so many friends
• Incredibly supportive of working parents — flexible, stays late, helps with events and date nights
• Also wonderful with our 30 lb goldendoodle

Sandra is looking for full time roll (40 hours) with a long-term family — all of her prior families have been lucky to have her for 4+ years. She would be a great fit for any family, and particularly loves toddlers. She lives in Astoria, is ideally seeking a role on the UES or Midtown East, and is available ASAP. This truly feels like our loss and another family’s gain — happy to chat with anyone interested.

Theresa brings 19 plus years of experience with her. She is a passionate, loving, nurturing, patient, energetic, trustworthy and responsible. She genuinely cares for your child(ren)’s well-being. She is reliable and can be counted on to be consistent and responsible. She creates a fun, balanced environment that will keep your child(ren) learning and happy. She is skilled and professional. Theresa is gentle and observant. You won’t regret recruiting her to be part of you support system to nurture your child(ren). Any family will be happy to have her. We certainly were!

My name is Rolande, and I’m from France. I am a proud mother of two children, and I am 41 years young. I am excited about my new venture ahead.Currently, the family I work for is preparing to enroll the kids, aged 3, in daycare, with grandma stepping in to assist the youngest toddler. For the past five and a half years, I have cared for the same family’s children, who are now 7, 6, and almost 3. My goal was to wait until the youngest turned 3 before returning back to New York City.

My activities with the kids included trips to the park for playtime, reading books in both French and English, preparing meals for them, cleaning up after their messes, driving/dropping off the oldest at school, visiting the library, or engaging in any activities the parents planned for that week.

Coming from a large family, I learned how to look after my younger siblings and cousins. Since my early teenage years, I have been responsible for a few toddler cousins, managing it all with ease. I am naturally ambitious and full of energy. I pride myself on being trustworthy, reliable, loyal, responsible, and a genuinely loving person.

With 10 years of experience as a babysitter and nanny, I excel in caring for children and will dedicate 100% of my attention to your kids.

I am available Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. also Friday and Saturday evening. However, it would be fantastic if I could find a position for 4days a week. I am Covid-19 vaccinated.

Very happy to recommend our most recent nanny, Keisha Harry. We have had a few nannies over the years and she has been THE BEST by far. She is extremely reliable and flexible with scheduling. She will take direction and ask before doing something out of the box.

Over the last year, she has taken our 2 kids to and from school- via subway and bus-, to and from the bus to summer camp, stayed home with them when they were sick, taken them on numerous playdates, and accompanied them to numerous appointments and extracurricular activities.

Our kids are 4 and 8 and we no longer need 40 hrs of childcare. I can’t emphasize enough that Keisha is incredibly reliable and very accommodating to crazy work schedules, etc. I know she will be a great fit to another busy fam, or a new start with a baby/toddler. Happy to answer any questions. She is open to new opportunities and travels to Manhattan from Brooklyn.

Our wonderful, loving, conscientious, reliable, and tireless former nanny is seeking a new position. Letesia provided excellent care to our two sons, now age 22 and 26. She was officially employed as a household employee, providing child care and light housekeeping for our family for more than 18 years.

Once our kids were grown and flown, we were unable to justify the need for full-time household help. We hope another family can be cared for as we were. Letesia is reliable, hard-working, capable, and beyond trustworthy. When the boys were small, she read aloud to them, sang to them, held them, and prepared very healthy snacks. She made sure they got plenty of active time outdoors and engaged in educational games with them at home. She kept them clean, healthy, and safe. She was incredibly reliable, taking them to afterschool classes, appointments, and playdates. While the boys were in school, Letesia kept our house in impeccable shape, clean, and well-organized.

We recommend Letesia with the highest, highest praise.

Letesia can be contacted directly at: 646-220-7026. I can be reached via cell at 917-576-0251 or via email at samgarbers@hotmail.com.

Hi there! I’d love to recommend our longtime babysitter / nanny Cheryl Noel to anyone looking for full-time help. Cheryl has been a wonderful and indispensable fixture in our family’s life throughout our time in NYC, dating from the early months of our first child Guinny’s life all the way through the pre-K years of our 2nd child, Milly.

That’s ten years of being with our family and being an indispensable part of raising our kids. Now though, we’ve moved on from NYC and Cheryl is available to help her next family. We miss her like crazy!

Cheryl is a lovely, caring presence who is a natural with babies, infants, toddlers, pre-K into grade school and beyond. Our kids loved spending time with Cheryl, and found her to be a consistently engaging, warm, fun and dependable presence. Cheryl went the extra mile to help us, taking the kids from school to their various activities, and doing everything including playing with them, bathing them, cooking for them, and putting them to bed. She also didn’t hesitate to come on weekends if we needed her to babysit. She always communicated effectively with us and truly became ‘one of the family’. You name it, she did it … and now that we’re not there, we really, truly miss her help, her camaraderie, and her expertise.

I guarantee you will find Cheryl to be a fantastic nanny for your kids. Please feel free to get in touch with me for any further questions you may have. Thanks so much for reading!

Liza is a professional nanny who has tons of experience with newborns and toddlers. She cared for my 2.5‑year‑old and consistently demonstrated punctuality (often arriving early), reliability, and a warm, loving manner. She built a very strong, trusting relationship with my daughter and kept her engaged and active throughout the day with regular outings to museums, the library, playgrounds, and playdates. She also picked up my daughter from preschool, always following the schedule and never being late.

In addition to great childcare, Liza was very helpful around the house—maintaining a clean apartment, doing the laundry, vacuuming, and tidying my daughter’s room as well as the kitchen before leaving. She prepared lunch, cooked dinner, and bathed my daughter every day before leaving for the night.

Liza is looking for a full-time position in Manhattan or Brooklyn.

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. 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 attentive during 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 he, as soon as he was able, he gave her a hug every day when she left. We will miss her greatly, and any family would be lucky to have her.
