Our wonderful nanny of 7 years is available now that our kids are both in school all day. We recommend her highly -- she is loving, deeply attached to our kids, playful, sensitive, honest, and genuinely loves kids and is interested in their thoughts and feelings. She took care of our kids before they attended preschool - taking them to music and museum classes and to playgrounds and playdates. She then began to pick them up from preschool and arrange and also participate in their playdates. She is the talk of the town among stay at home moms of our kids' friends, who have enjoyed having playdates when she is on hand, as she is so respectful, engaged, loving, and yet also limit-setting and peace-making with the kids. She has done light housekeeping for us as well, more once both kids were out of the house in school several hours a day. In these duties she has been thorough and responsible, and she has cared for our home as though it were hers. We have felt taken care of, and our kids have felt loved. She knows all the playgrounds, museums, indoor play spaces and playrooms -- as well as many other nannies, on the UWS. It has been a golden 7 years and we recommend her without hesitation. Please contact her directly for questions or an interview, and she can supply our contact info for references. Her name and contact info is: Angela Powell, 646 316 2236, or 718 515 0550.
