Nanny shares, the best of both worlds

The Sylvester Family
We chose a nanny share because it allowed us to make sure that our child was getting great, individual attention from a person that we could trust while helping us to manage costs. We couldn't afford to have one nanny, and found another family that was in a similar situation and shared our values.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Lily! I am a mother of 3 beautiful children. Two of them are now parents and I have a teenager daughter. I am a professional nanny with more than 25 years of experience. I’ve been lucky to have found amazing families through all the years. After 10 years of working with a loving private family I am now back on the market. I am looking for a loving, respectful family who will appreciate me. I provide a safe, loving and calm environment for the children. I love attending music class, hosting playdates and making sure children learn socialization since that’s an important part of their child development for growth. I love sharing my love, my knowledge and I can’t wait to start a new journey. I can’t wait to meet a new family

"Lily is the absolute best! She is caring and kind in addition to being trustworthy, dependable, and responsible. She is wonderfully patient with kids and engages with them fully. In addition, in our case, due to my son's special medical needs, her duties included administering medicine through a gastrostomy tube; feeding using a gastrostomy tube; helping to train my child to eat by mouth; overseeing my son’s use of supplemental oxygen; and attending physical therapy, occupational therapy, and feeding therapy sessions and consulting with these therapists to help him meet his goals. Lily was a wonderful and trusted partner to work with as we navigated my son's special needs."

"Chelsea is an incredible caregiver. We're truly so happy to have found her and for the time she took care of our baby girl. She is extremely attentive, very organized and professional, keeps a log of diapers/bottles/naps and any special circumstances on a particular day. She is very detail oriented, and never hesitates to reach out via your preferred communication method to inform you of anything that you may be missing or running low on. When it comes to her interaction with the baby, she is so patient and gentle, and engages your baby with age appropriate activities. Every time we entered the room and our baby was not sleeping she would either be reading a book, singing and dancing, developing some mobility or curiously examining a toy or puzzle. Our baby was always happy to see her and naturally reached for her, we really think Chelsea was a perfect fit for us, and would not hesitate to hire her again."
