Anna Fader—Born and raised in NYC and now raising her two kids here, Anna Fader created Mommy Poppins to share the overlooked, hidden gems of NYC and help other parents take advantage of all those little details of New York that make living here seem more like living in the greatest small town in the world.

Nina Watkins -  A native New Yorker who is currently living in Jackson Heights, Queens, Nina brings the voice of new mommies to Mommy Poppins.  After nearly 10 years working for an international foundation on educational programs, Nina couldn’t bring herself to return to office life after maternity leave and is now happy to focus her work on matters closer to home.

Dani Finkel—Dani is a lifelong New Yorker who passionately loves the city. After her son Caleb was born she strapped on her Bjorn, got on the subway and started showing him what what the city had to offer. From her apartment in Brooklyn, she’s raising her child to know that NYC is more than a one borough town, and that the opportunity to try something new is just around the corner. Dani worked for years as an art director/graphic designer in the music industry. She now works for Bubby’s in Tribeca.
