A little bit about me
I am an educated and very active single woman without children or pets looking mostly for more on call, travel nanny or full-time work. Free time is spent leading a very healthy lifestyle cooking mostly organic Whole Foods, reading, exercising, attending different shows and spending time at parks, museums and cultural exhibits as well as traveling and volunteering.
I have teaching experience and extensive experience working as an on call nanny, travel nanny, baby nurse and full-time nanny in recent years and also as a babysitter throughout grade school, high school and college. I also have experience working at day care centers (for adults and children). I can send my resume, letters of recommendation and NY police check to you. Please note, I still presently work for the families who wrote reviews for me, but they had to choose an end date from the drop down menu.

"I hired Camille in July 2021 as a travel nanny and she came with us for two
weeks to Italy when our son was 18 months. Since then she’s worked days for us when we are in New York. We live in the UK so sadly she isn’t a F/T option for us.
Camille is an excellent nanny and exceedingly responsible.
Within minutes of meeting her, our shy son was happily playing with her on the floor.
I would trust her implicitly in my home and with my child. We were in a villa with a pool and
lots of stairs and we knew he was completely safe alone with her, including
swimming.
When it was too hot, she filled hours drawing, reading, etc.
She cooked him nutritious food.
She was amenable to what we wanted and needed each day and needed. When we didn’t need her, she was off doing her own thing.
She would be a great hire, esp for a family with busy parents or a single parent. She researches local activities and parks and always has a new thing to do. We were fortunate to find her."

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Briana and I was born and raised in Austin, TX. I come from a big Mexican family, so I’ve always been around kids and learned how to keep busy households happy and organized. I’ve been a nanny for 7 years, including caring for twins and traveling with families. I love staying active, cooking healthy meals, helping with homework, and creating fun and safe environments where kids can learn and play. I’m moving to NYC soon and I’m excited to explore the city with the children I care for.

"Briana worked for us for the last 2 years and was so great with our 3 girls. They adore her. As a parent she is a wonderful nanny as she is easy company, extremely reliable, fantastic cook, loves cleaning and has a very strong work ethic. She’s a very safe driver, always happy to take kids to any activities/play dates or to make a plan of how to entertain them. She takes direction/feedback very well.
Our kids adore her as she’s patient, kind, creative and fun.
Briana did school pick ups, prepped and cooked (very healthy) meals, cleaned up after girls, did laundry and often helped with homework. She often covered date nights too. She has traveled with us overseas also and was very quick to figure out a new place and find activities to entertain my kiddos."

Danelle also has a great balance of being loving and caring for them, as well as assisting in teaching them when their behavior is not ok.

A little bit about me
I am currently studying Business & Education, combining my passion for leadership & development with my love for working with children. With over eight years of hands-on experience as a nanny, I’ve learned that caring for children goes far beyond supervision. It is about creating structure, stability, & a safe environment where they feel seen, heard, & supported.
I genuinely love being part of a child’s growth journey. Whether that means helping them reach developmental milestones, building confidence in schoolwork, encouraging independence, or simply creating meaningful everyday moments, I take pride in being someone they can rely on. I believe children thrive when they are guided with patience, consistency, & warmth.
My goal is not only to help children have fun, but to help shape positive experiences that contribute to their emotional, social, & academic growth. I hope to continue creating nurturing, safe environments where children can grow into confident, kind, & capable adults.

"Ashley has been such a steady and loving presence in my daughter’s life for the past five summers and on occasional weekends throughout the school year. She has always been incredibly flexible and reliable whenever we’ve needed her, which as a parent means more than I can explain.
She truly feels like part of our family. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cares, not just about supervising, but about being present and engaged. She keeps my daughter safe and structured, but also makes their time together fun and meaningful. They do crafts, play imaginative games, have little adventures, and share real conversations. My daughter absolutely lights up when she knows Ashley is coming.
The biggest thing for me is peace of mind. I completely trust her. She is patient, thoughtful, dependable, and mature beyond her years. I never have to worry when my daughter is with her. Any family would be so lucky to have someone as caring and reliable as Ashley caring for their child"

"It is with great pleasure that I write in enthusiastic endorsement of Simona Conti as a childcare provider. She has provided childcare for my son since January 2017 when he was five months old to the present day. From the beginning, Simona has been an ideal caretaker: responsible, kind, nurturing, trust-worthy, and attentive. She has always met and surpassed our expectations of childcare from her steadfast reliability and punctuality to navigating changes in our child’s routine to building a genuine relationship with our son.
At each stage, she met our new suggestions and expectations for care: from warming breast milk bottles to playground safety to traveling on the subway. We have utmost trust that she will implement our family’s new practices and guidelines. She is always attentive to our child’s needs and reports her insights and observations with care.
Simona is friendly, kind, and energetic. Simona has been a beloved and outstanding caretaker for our son."

Hi, families! My name is Emma and I'm a student at Columbia University studying Education and Political Science. I hope to one day work in Education Law, working to increase access to a high-quality education for low-income students.
I am enthusiastic, patient, caring, and fun, and I am passionate about working with kids. My experience is as follows: I've been babysitting/nannying for five years, and I've worked as a preschool assistant teacher for the past three. I've worked with all ages, from infants to preteens.
I am well-versed in developmentally appropriate sensory play for babies and toddlers, and will make my time with your little ones educational and stimulatory as well as fun. I employ a Montessori, child-led philosophy, and I believe in keeping screen time to a minimum and encouraging active learning through play. I am also infant/child CPR and First Aid certified, and have taken courses in child development and safety.

"To Whom it May Concern,
It is with absolute pleasure that I recommend Emma Thompson-Haye as a nanny. Emma is a phenomenal nanny. She watched my son (then 3-yrs-old) on the weekends until we ended up getting a full-time nanny. As a mom who works weekends, Emma provided me with the peace of mind that my son was taken care of. She often texted me pictures of what they were getting up to, fun stuff like art projects and discovering new playgrounds and bookstores. She shared our values of literacy and always read to my son along with doing other educational activities (flash cards, teaching numbers and letters, how to write his name) without ever being prompted. When she stopped working for our family, my son missed her so much we ended up signing him up for the summer preschool camp where she teaches. Emma is such a caring nanny with such a way with kids and I know your child will absolutely love her. Please reach out for any more info.
Sincerely,
Olivia Schneider"
