The Nanny

When I was a young sprat, I’d often watch the telly with me mum. She loved “The Nanny,” with Fran Drescher, who played a door to door cosmetics girl who landed a gig with one of Manhattan’s most eligible bachelors.



After seasons and seasons, Fran became almost part of the family, befriending the children, and eventually marrying Mr. Sheffield, her quondam employer. But not all of us are so lucky.

If you don’t have a Fran Fine on your horizon, it’s best to call a NY nanny agency. They have nannies that are as good, if not better than Mrs. Drescher. Penelope’s People is a nanny agency you can trust because they really know their nannies. So call your NY nanny agency today!

Camille and I

Being employed by a nanny agency is great. The nanny agency I work for took my records and matched me with a family who wanted everything that I have. Now I work with a little girl named Camille, who is four. Camille just lost her first tooth, and was very excited about the tooth fairy. She has silky long brown hair and pretty brown eyes, and she takes so much pride in choosing what she wants to wear in the morning, usually opting for a dress.

She goes to pre-K in the mornings, which is when I clean up the house. By the time I pick her up at noon, we usually go for a walk in Central Park. We sit in the field and have lunch, and the whole time I can barely get her to stop talking. She’s so cute – I braid her hair and we hold hands when we walk, stopping at the duck pond to feed them, her eyes wide with wonder. She’s not afraid of anything and although she is not a tom-boy, she loves wildlife.

It’s so satisfying to enjoy my job and have a friend at work. After more than six months together, Camille and I are great friends, and it’s all thanks to my nanny agency NY.

The 21st Century Nanny

Nannies don’t look like Mary Poppins anymore. I don’t wear a tweed cap or carry an umbrella wherever I go, nor do I sing songs (except by request). Not that there’s anything wrong with Mary Poppins; it’s just that that version of a nanny is a little bit dated. I do everything that Mary did and more. I’m part of a nanny agency NY that specializes in helping children grow up and reach their full potential.

When you’re away from home, you want to make sure that your child is not only being well taken care of, but is learning and developing as if you were there to guide her along. If you desire a nanny agency that can also help you keep house, people like myself are perfect because we’re not just babysitters, we are domestic goddesses.

Penelope’s People is also a great place to turn for senior care placement New York. They have senior companions who help older folks with everything, from running daily errands to having a good laugh. For us, being part of a nanny agency isn’t work; it’s a way of helping those who need it, and that attitude is reflected through the premium help that we give.

Children or Elderly: Penelope's Here to Help



It can be difficult to find a nanny agency that really stands out. Penelope’s People is a company that has not just one specialty, but two. While our nanny agency has qualified professionals who are superb with children, we also have companions for the elderly. Growing old is often referred to as a second childhood because one becomes increasingly reliant on others for basic needs.

Gentleness and loving care are key characteristics for any nanny agency or NY senior care company. Our separate agencies provide company and care for anyone who needs it, not just the elderly or children. If you’re a mother taking a break from work and need someone to manage the household while you tend to your children, or maybe you just want a friend or household helper, contact Penelope’s People.

Our helpers offer all kinds of services, from the more basic errand running to reading books and playing games, sometimes having a friend can be the best way to convalesce or maintain mental clarity. Many of our personal helpers are skilled in more than just being amicable and organized; our companions play musical instruments or specialize in child psychology, skills that most other nannies or NY senior care agencies lack.
