New York City

New York City families juggle demanding careers, long commutes, and fast-paced city life. My Asian Nanny helps parents across Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island find trusted Chinese and Asian nannies, night nurses, and postpartum confinement caregivers who understand both your culture and your schedule.

For over 14 years, My Asian Nanny has supported families nationwide with Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking caregivers who blend traditional Chinese care with modern parenting expectations — now available to families throughout New York City.

Asian nanny engaging with children

Whether you live in a high-rise in Midtown, a walk-up in Brooklyn, or a quiet street in Queens, we help you find nannies who can adapt to apartment living, building rules, tight spaces, and city routines.

  • Bilingual Care – Nannies who speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English for daily language exposure.
  • City-Savvy Support – Comfort navigating subways, cabs, and neighborhood parks safely with children.
  • Structured Routines – Age-appropriate activities, homework help, school drop-offs, and after-school care.
  • Live-In or Live-Out – Options based on your apartment layout, building policies, and family needs.
Asian postpartum confinement nanny caring for a newborn

Many NYC families deliver at hospitals like NYU Langone, NewYork-Presbyterian, Mount Sinai, or Lenox Hill. Once you return home with your baby, a confinement nanny can help you follow traditional zuò yuè zi (坐月子) practices while fitting into your New York lifestyle.

  • Traditional Yuezi Support – Warm foods, rest-focused routines, and gentle guidance based on Chinese postpartum customs.
  • Newborn Care – Feeding, soothing, diapering, nighttime support, and tracking baby’s cues.
  • Postpartum Recovery – Light household help, simple confinement meals, and practical support so you can rest.
  • Culturally Sensitive Care – Respect for your family’s beliefs, boundaries, and parenting style.

Our confinement nannies are a strong fit for NYC families who want both professional newborn care and respect for Chinese cultural traditions during the first weeks after birth.

Asian night nurse caring for newborn overnight

Long hours, unpredictable schedules, and late-night work are a reality for many NYC parents. Our night nurses and overnight newborn specialists take over during the night so you can actually sleep and function during the day.

  • Overnight Coverage – Handling feeds, diaper changes, and soothing while you rest.
  • Early Sleep Routines – Helping baby ease into healthy nighttime habits that fit your preferences.
  • Daily Updates – Clear communication each morning about how the night went and what they observed.
  • Calm, Quiet Presence – Ideal for small apartments or shared-wall buildings where noise matters.

We work with families in many NYC neighborhoods and nearby suburbs, including:

  • Manhattan – Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Battery Park City, Financial District.
  • Brooklyn – Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Bay Ridge, Sunset Park.
  • Queens – Flushing, Forest Hills, Bayside, Long Island City.
  • The Bronx & Staten Island – Select neighborhoods depending on caregiver availability.
  • Nearby Suburbs – Parts of New Jersey, Westchester, and Long Island by arrangement.

Can I hire a live-in nanny in a New York City apartment?

Yes, as long as there is a safe, dedicated sleeping space for the caregiver and your building allows it. During your consultation, we’ll review your apartment layout, building rules, and expectations to decide whether live-in or live-out care is more realistic.

Do your caregivers understand New York City transportation and building security?

Many of our nannies and night nurses are comfortable navigating NYC streets, subways, and high-rise buildings. We also discuss doormen, key fobs, visitor policies, and security expectations during the matching process.

Can I request a Mandarin- or Cantonese-speaking nanny in New York City?

Yes. My Asian Nanny specializes in Chinese-speaking caregivers, especially Mandarin and Cantonese. You can specify your language preferences on the Family Registration Form, and we’ll prioritize candidates who match those needs.

How early should New York families book a confinement nanny or night nurse?

We recommend reaching out by your second trimester, especially if you’re due during winter holidays or popular vacation periods. Early inquiries give you more choices and smoother scheduling for interviews and start dates.
