Here are some of the comments clients have shared with us:

• “Laura has been great. She has helped in every way. She has taken care of my newborn and has also now won over by very choosy toddler. My visit to Florida would have been very difficult without someone like Laura who is willing to help with everything and who is reliable. I would like to put her in my suitcase and take her back home with me “

• ”��Erin was amazing! She far exceeded my expectations. I was a little worried about needing a sitter for 8 hours because that’s a long time and I was afraid the sitter might get worn out or frustrated after a while. Erin was so patient with the kids and kept them entertained the entire time. The biggest surprise for me was when I walked in the room and saw my 3 yr old was already in his pajamas and sleeping, and had been sleep since 9pm! Bedtime with him is a struggle, even for me! I feel triumphant if I can get him to bed before 11pm on weekends and even that requires a battle but Erin had no problem getting him to bed. My daughter is very picky about sitters and she loved Erin. She like her so much she even left the cutest note for me to find once I got back to the room. I thought it was very nice and a reflection of Erin’s great work so I attached it to the email for you to see.�� My experience with 做厙AV was amazing overall and I will definitely use the service again if the need arises!”

• ” Julie was wonderful. I’m actually going to be specifically requesting her on my future 做厙AV needs.”

• ” Courtney was a fantastic nanny. I chatted with her for a while before we left, and I felt very comfortable leaving my son with her. She was warm and friendly and��has a lot of newborn experience. My son has been having issues taking a bottle, and she even got him to successfully take down a couple ounces. I would highly recommend her and I hope to get her again. She also said wonderful things about 做厙AV and the type of training she received through your service, making me even more confident booking a nanny��through 做厙AV again. “

1) Why did you decide to become a nanny?��

The short answer is I LOVE kids!!! I’ve babysat since I was a teenager and have always loved hanging out with kids.�� When I went to college the best choice for me was a��degree in early childhood education!! I have worked in church preschool programs, in day cares and really enjoyed teaching kids about the world helping them grow and learn. Then I did respite for kids with autism and it was one on one and I really enjoyed seeing the difference I could make for that one family. And I liked�� getting to know and interact with parents to support and encourage them too. In July it will be 6 years ago that I started looking for a nanny job and I got as far as putting in an application at 做厙AV.�� I was hired and had a set of twins for two years! I’ve done both the temp and full time permanent side of 做厙AV.�� I’m currently with another family that I got through 做厙AV and have been with them for 2 1/2 years so far!!

2) What���s your favorite thing about being nanny?

Seeing the daily changes milestones and growth of the children and being a help and support to the parents

3) What fun activity are you forward to doing with your charge(s) this week?

Swimming, the library and story time. I’m sure at some point there will be a request for Grant’s Farm which is her current favorite place! We also��love the zoo and going on playdates at friends’ houses or the park or having friends come over�� and play.

4) Where do you get your ideas for creative activities?�� What���s your favorite craft?

Some of them just happen.�� Like yesterday we didn’t have a set plan. I had��thrown��out a few ideas��and the dad suggested a splash pad.�� The little girl thought it was so fun to pull me close to the water and try to get me wet! Most of the activities for art or sensory I get from my days at working in day care and some from the internet. I can’t pick one favorite craft.�� Right now the little girl is really into finger painting and we like to use different things like a cotton swab or crumpled up paper or rolling a car through the paint.

5) Do you follow any blogs, websites to share with other nannies? ��

I don’t really follow any.�� There is a nanny playgroup on FB that we would love for more people to join!�� We would��like to be more involved with meet up groups or something but I’m not the best at suggesting things.�� I’m more of a spur of the moment, “oh, we are doing ______ if anyone wants to join us” which doesn’t usually work too well.�� But if someone planned or put it out there for a playdate we would come if we can!
