Full-Time Nanny Available in Brooklyn, NY: Shurla A.

"Shurla has been with us since our daughter was five months old. It was nerve-wracking to let anyone else take care of her after doing it on our own during COVID, but Shurla knew exactly what she was doing. From tummy time to starting solids to sleep training to potty training, she was our guide and support system; Josephine sailed past her milestones thanks to her. My friends still call me to get Shurla's advice when they have issues with their own kids (or nannies!). As things opened up, Shurla helped us build a whole new network in our neighborhood. Whether she was connecting Jo to her first group of friends by hosting arts and crafts and music days, composing legendary goodie bags for all Jo's birthday parties, or getting to know the regulars at the playground, she's the reason that our COVID baby is comfortable with any and everyone. She's been a friend and a part of our family for the last three years and we're devastated to be moving away from her!"

"Shurla is a wonderful caregiver. She is dependable, honest, professional, kind, loving, and bright.. She shows up on time and sets about her work with great good humor. She knows what children need, infants and schoolchildren alike, and supports and creates an environment that is safe, fun, and educational.. Shurla was our son's caregiver from age.6 months to 4 years old. And she made everyday an adventure for him. They went on daily trips to the park, to toddler music classes, made friends and went on play dates, rode the train to the airport just for the fun of it, went to the free Broadway musical showcases in Bryant Park, just to name a few activities.. They also spent time at home painting, reading stories, playing with toy cars, and eating Shurla's delicious home cooked lunches. As you can imagine our son loved and adored Shurla and he still does. She is our dear friend and we regularly keep in touch. Shurla was a godsend, and we consider our years with her to be golden."

"Shurla has extensive experience taking care of newborn twins. She gave good advice for what we needed to have at home before we brought the twins home from the hospital. She's an excellent caregiver."

"Shurla has been watching our 3.5 year old boys since they returned from the NICU after a premature birth at 32 weeks. She is a mother of her own grown child, has over 20 years experience as a childcare provider and specializes in the care of twins. She is also CPR certified and happy to assist with major life transitions, such as sleep training, introduction of solid foods, etc...During the time she has been with us, Shurla has proven herself to be a trustworthy, reliable, and dedicated caregiver, who has easily adapted to the needs of our twins as they mature. From the beginning she has been on the floor playing with the boys as they learned to crawl, stumble, and finally walk and talk. She and they love to read together snuggled on the couch - helping to foster the love of books and imagination they have today. She loves music and dance - and now our boys do too. Our kids love Shurla and we consider her part of our family."
