I am a safe and trusted local career nanny and family assistant for the past 30 years. I'm currently available to take on a new full-time weekday position. I'm most interested in a local family. I truly enjoy beginning with a young family and bonding with infants and toddlers. My many years of experience has made it possible to work with all ages and I'm very good at anticipating the needs of families and facilitating all-encompassing support. caring for 2 children (prefer under the age of 3) and orchestrating age-appropriate activities while keeping families on track and managing multiple competing priorities. I am a capable cook and can help with light tidying up organization and some laundry. I am not a housekeeper who does heavy cleaning, ironing or change of bedding. I am looking for an easy going family. I'm familiar with all the surrounding towns from Fairfield to Westchester and the private schools in Greenwich. Strong swimmer and valid passport-willing and able to travel.

Shazam is one of those incredible people who can do it all! She is hardworking, caring, and wonderful in every way!!

Reliable , dependable  , on time , personable , extremely interactive with our child , loving , funny , accommodating , I really don’t have anything negative to say about Shazam ..she truly becomes family ..

I've known shazam for over 2 decades, and she is so much more than a care taker. She makes sure that everyone's needs around her are taken care of.  Responsible, friendly, and attentive are among her admirable traits.  Shazam would be and is always my first recommendation for anyone looking for childcare.

I have known Shazam for over a decade, during that time she has worked for several families that have adored her. She is passionate about her work and goes above and beyond in childcare. The things that make her an incredible nanny are also the things I admire most about how she approaches her life - she is always thinking ahead and anticipating be it day trips, dinners, and/or travel. There is no problem too big for her to tackle and she can and has learned all the tricks of the trade/life hacks that will have you wondering what you did before her. Finally, she a most importantly, Shazam has a bubbly, laugh-filled charisma that permeates joy into any house she is in. If I had kids myself, there is no one I would have more faith in to care for them and the people she works with have always echoed that belief. 

She's really able to do anything. It's amazing how she's able to drive, give recipes, and just get things done. There has legitimately not been a single thing that she can't do. Super dependable in every situation and all around great. Really lives up to the name Shazam!

Shazam started working with us over ten years ago and has been great with our family, each stage from young children to young adults. She is extremely organized, trustworthy, and overall has a kind heart and warm personality. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and hardworking!

Shazam is absolutely wonderful. She took care of my son while he was a freshman and sophomore in high school and provided us with invaluable help not only for him but also for our family.  She is very proactive, intelligent and always very positive with a can do spirit.  She helped us navigate the difficult first years of high school for our son and also supported our son and our family in so many ways. She is an outstanding Nanny and has also become a close friend of our family. I give my highest recommendation to Shazam and any family would be very lucky to have her.

Shazam is an absolute angel and super-nanny!  She has endless energy and is incredible with our kids.  She is creative and takes initiative in doing crafts and making fun, healthy snacks for our children.  She does things around the house without asking and has great ideas for organization.  She is so experienced that she needs minimal guidance. Our entire family loves when Shazam walks in the door! She is a gem!

Shazam is a true professional and wonderful nanny!  She has been with us over a year but now that our son is about to have his license, we understand her desire to find a great opportunity with a new family.  We all love her perspective on life and learning life skills, her sense of humor and her unfailingly positive attitude.  Her range is wonderful from loving and working with small children to teens.  In addition to developing a caring relationship with the children, she is incredibly well organized and an able house manager (she found someone to repaint a room - ranked and interviewed relative to skills and economics!).  She adapts to each child to best understand their interest.  She is just a wonderful person and we look forward to staying in touch and utilizing her skills if she has time.  Whomever hires her next will be very lucky.

Shazam worked for me for over 11 years.  She took care of my two kids from the time they were 1 and 3 until they were teenagers.  They still love her and keep in touch with her. I am a busy physician and single mother who needed someone to keep the household organized while also helping me raise my kids with strong values and a sense of fun.  Shazam is dependable, positive, hyper-organized, resourceful and responsible.  The story I like to share is when she called me up at the end of a busy day at the hospital to tell me that the water heater in the basement had exploded and flooded the basement, she had cleaned up the mess, called the plumber who was able to locate a replacement, and that they were at the house installing it so that I would have hot water when I got home. No problem. She also traveled domestically and internationally with my family and has a great sense of adventure.  Shazam just makes the world a better place. Any family who hired her would be lucky to have her. 

Shazam will quickly become an important part of your family, as she did to ours. The amount of love and care she has for the children and families that she works for is unmatched by any other. She worked for our family for 8 years, until I was 9 years old. 16 years later, I can still remember how devastated I was when she told me she was leaving because she was SUCH a significant person in my life... always there, always happy, always fun. Her love and dedication is beyond apparent, even after she left our family, whenever I needed her, she was still there for me. Luckily, that never changed and I cannot have imagined my big life moments without her around! Everyone who has met me since knows many of my best memories (and all my friends') have Shazam in them! We were always playing and always learning, in the most unique ways - she can make the most mundane tasks enjoyable. She taught us so much and my brothers and I feel so, so, SO lucky to have had (and still have) her in our lives! 

I've known Shazam for over 6 years. She's dependable, smart and extremely competent. Shazam has over 20 years of experience as a nanny. She knows a lot about children's education and how to stimulate kids in a playful way. My son, who is 4 years old, absolutely adores her.

Shazam has a extensive knowledge and understanding of child development. Besides the fact she is extremely dependable and professional she is genuinely a terrific person!! Shazam is patience, health conscious has a lot of energy, trust worthy and responsible. I would rate Shazam 12 on the scale 1-10 and would recommend her in a heartbeat. 

Amazing care giver! Kids LOVE her! She has become one of our family.  Shazam is trustworthy, dependable, honest, punctual, loving and can literally step in and take over without a problem.  She is a woman of integrity.

Shazam is wonderful.  Even as a disciplinarian at times she is respected and listened to by the kids.  She always has the kids/our best interest at heart. 

Shazam is not just a professional.  Shazam has demonstrated that her skills go beyond child care.  She can handle anything and will work in tandem with the family and their needs.  I have immense respect for Shazam and everything that she has done for our family.  She is not just an employee.  You will not need to micro manage her.  Open communication works best as with all relationships but I do believe that our success with her is that we give her freedom to do her job, respect of her and respect of her time along with communication.  
We love Shazam and believe you will too! 

Shazam is amazing. She's a true professional and takes her work incredibly seriously. Shazam puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She would be an amazing addition to any family and they would be lucky to have her. Can't say enough good things about her!!!

Shazam is very cheerful, creative, reliable, responsible, organized and can manage herself and others, as well as entertain children (and adults). She has an excellent sense of humor and does not smoke or drink - ever. I can not recommend her highly enough. She worked for us over a 10 year period - and remains a dear friend.  

Shazam is a top notch career nanny. She's dependable, trust worthy, smart, proactive and flexible. Shazam is incredibly loving, playful, full of energy and our children absolutely adore her. She understand developmentally appropriate activities and creates fun ways for children to learn and grow socially, emotionally and academically.  She's a true partner for any parent and anyone would be lucky to have her.
