Parent Reference

July 12, 2020 To the family considering Isidora Avalos (our beloved Isi): I’m tempted to be selfish, to not inform you of how truly wonderful Isi is – this way we could keep her nannying gifts all to ourselves. But, unfortunately, our child has become so busy with 1st Grade, after-school activities, and play dates that we’ve outgrown the need for a nanny. For over 5 years Isi has been an integral part of the family raising my daughter, Bayla, to be the happy, active, caring kid she is thus far. Since Bayla was 6 months old Isi has been providing loving, educational, adventurous, reliable care. Come to think of it, not just for Bayla, but for our whole extended family. Including tender care for our aging dog through his passing 2 years ago. Isi is the type of caregiver who doesn’t just read to Bayla, she creates a cozy, interactive, learning time with books. Doing voices, teaching words in English and in Spanish while still giving Bayla room to identify pictures, letters and numbers for herself. Isi doesn’t hesitate to roll around on the floor playing “sick” when Bayla is imagining she’s a doctor for the umpteenth time. The relaxed, fun reading with Isi has become even more important because as Bayla grows-up we’re discovering that she has a language arts-based learning disability. Isi’s unconditional support has helped Bayla confront her special learning needs with confidence, not fear. Isi is the type of caregiver who can orchestrate long, joyful days with Bayla assuming the responsibility of full-time parent while I’m am on shift. Her day with us typically lasts 15 hours. During that time Isi independently navigates Bayla’s playdates, playground romps, in-home time with dolls, trucks, kitchen and other toys, artsy projects, meals, light housework, laundry, personal hygiene and bedtime. Always punctual, often early, Isi also stays late without a peep of complaint (as often happens since I work in a Pediatric ER.) She asks for help when she needs it and takes instruction well, though she rarely needs that - keeping Bayla on a more consistent playing, learning, eating, bathing, etc. schedule than I (her mother) have ever managed to. She is a loving and fun addition to our family and always professional and handling infection control during the pandemic well. If our family schedule hadn’t shifted to eliminate the need for additional care we\\'d be moving forward with Isi without reservation. Don’t hesitate to call or write me if you want to know more or need specific questions answered.
