Ann D.

Night Nanny

With over twenty years of experience, I have worked as a Certified Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Infant Specialist/Baby Nurse. Augmenting my own breast-feeding experience, I completed lactation training through St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City. I am also certified in CPR and Infant First Aid. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with incredible babies and parents from all walks of life, including notable individuals such as Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, Art Garfunkel, James Dolan of MSG (New York Knicks), Melissa Francis, and screenwriter/director David Koepp. When we first meet Ann, our household was in sad shape. Two night nurses had fled our employ exhausted because our two month old son only slept in one and two hour intervals. I had called an agency in desperation, asking for anyone who specializes in serious sleep problems. I had given up on the idea that my son would ever nap on his own. Then Ann arrived. She looked at the sleeping baby in my arms and said “what’s the issue?” I described him as a grenade baby: when you set him down, he explodes. She took the barely 7 pound premie from me and encouraged me to go out to dinner and relax. In the morning she and the baby emerged well rested and said with a smile “what is he supposed to do again? He slept nicely. Let’s start over.” In fact we didi start over, and my son never had another sleeping issue. To this day, we have eliminated the sleeping issues so many others describe: challenges with naps or battles at bedtime have been kept at bay. Her basic philosophies have served us though out my son’s life so far. And when I became pregnant with my second son, we called Ann before we even told our families. We call her the baby Whisperer Melissa Francis & Wray Thorn 180 East 93rd Street #2 New York, N.Y 10128 I had no idea how critical sleep was for an infant. Ann taught me “sleep begets sleep.” That mantra saved my sanity. Teddy Grisham Lloyd Harbor, N.Y With the birth of my three babies, I faced different challenges. Ann helped me face them all with her usual compassion, grace and patience. When I brought my first child home, Ann was able to instill confidence in me as a new mother who was struggling with breastfeeding. Ann always has wonderful suggestions, and makes them without any pressure. I absolutely could not have managed without her. Alison Roberts Westport, C.T Ann is a godsend, she comes as a quiet presence in the midst of confusion and settles babies, parents, siblings, grandparents, and pets alike. I tell all my friends do not get pregnant unless Ann is available. Eva Cranston-Stephens New York, NY Ann was an enormous help to me and a positive influence in our home. Ann is a wonderful, loving, responsible caregiver. I recommend her highly. Dr. Kerry Meyers Greenwich, C.T

Sasha S.

Sitter / Nanny

Hello! My name is Sasha I am a babysitter based in Westchester, NY. I have been doing babysitting gigs on the side since I was 19 with toddlers to young children. For my primary job I’m a dental assistant for an orthodontist. So I’m used to working with little ones daily and helping them stay calm in stressful situations. I’m obsessed with dogs and I will love on your furry friends just as much as your children. I am very active and I love being outside, taking walks, and enjoying nature. I can help with light housework including: laundry, cleaning, and preparing simple meals and snacks for children.

Brittney L.

Sitter / Nanny

I’m a college student currently finishing my bachelors in human services, human services professional aims to always help people in anyway they can, I’m a 22 year old woman who have 3 years baby sitting experience, I’ve worked with both teenagers and younger children. Young children are intrinsically curious, authentic and brutally honest. Most of what they encounter is new, they have a way to see things in a way I never considered them. What I love the most about them is that you never have to second-guess what they say: they’re not vindictive and don’t have double standards. I’ve also baby sat my nieces from their very first day home even though this is not a professional job, but the experience working with new borns were great for me. I’m also a college tutor, very good at ELA, I assist children with tutoring.
