Babysitter Available in East Bronx, NY: Maybelline H.

"Maybelline came into our lives when our son was 4 months old and stayed with us, part time in New York, until he was 10 months. We recommend her completely. She arrived when we badly needed help — a first baby, both of us stretched thin, an international move on the horizon. She is patient and genuinely playful, the kind of person who makes a room lighter just by walking into it, and our son adored her from early on. We trusted her with him entirely, which is not a small thing to say. Over those six months he started solids, got his first teeth, and began really engaging with the world. Maybelline was there for all of it, following his lead and delighting in him. She also gave us something we couldn’t give ourselves: time to breathe. When we moved, she joined us in Germany for two weeks to help us settle in and keep our son’s world steady while everything around him changed. We will miss her more than we can say. If you have the chance to welcome Maybelline into your home, take it."

"Maybelline has been an incredible help to our family. As a first-time parent, I was very anxious about welcoming someone into my home, but I am so glad I did. I truly value her thoughtful approach to supporting us. She always asks clearly and directly what I need, which makes her support feel both respectful and responsive. She is a quick learner and highly adaptable. We initially hired her as a postpartum mommy’s helper, assisting with specific household tasks and caring for our baby in my presence. Over time, she proved herself to be trustworthy and dependable, and when I returned to work, she transitioned seamlessly into a part-time nanny role. Now that I have two children, Maybelline continues to support our family as a part-time nanny, including overnight care when my husband travels for work. We feel very fortunate to have her in our lives and are excited for her to continue pursuing this work, which she clearly has a calling for."
