Staffing with the
care of a neighbor.

NY Gem Staff began with a simple belief: the people who care for your home and family should be chosen with the same love you'd give the search yourself.

Meet Pamela

Ten years in New York homes — now matching yours.

For ten years, Pamela worked as a nanny and cook for New York families, making the drive in from the Bronx each morning. She got to know what families worry about most: finding help they can trust, often with very little notice.

That's why she started NY Gem Staff. She interviews every caregiver personally and makes each match by hand, holding to the same standard she'd want for her own family.

“I don't send anyone into a family's home that I wouldn't send into mine.”

— Pamela, Founder

What we stand for

Three things we never
compromise on.

Trust, verified

Background checks, reference calls and in-person interviews. No shortcuts, ever — because this is your home.

The human match

We match for temperament, values and rhythm — not just role and rate. Fit is everything.

Care that lasts

We stay close after placement — checking in, smoothing bumps, and standing behind every match we make.

Let's find your match
