Parent Reference

Sade has been with our family for the past 4 years, she came when the world was upside down in the midst of Covid. She first came to help us care for our 2 yr old when I was pregnant waiting for our second child to arrive. She is great with newborns taking care to be there for this crucial developmental stage in a warm and caring manner. She has been with us since. During that time she has helped nurture our three little ones with such patience and understanding. I have complete trust in her, knowing that she always has the best interests of our children at heart and handles every situation with integrity and responsibility. The true test came when we had our third child who is autistic and non-verbal, she has been instrumental in helping him thrive and works alongside with his therapists really well. She takes him to all his therapy sessions and he has been her main focus for the past 2 years and my other two kids are older and more independent. It can get quite chaotic in our home when Sade is not around, she seems to anticipate the kids' needs even before they are in need of anything. She has the perfect balance of patience and energy, always ready to engage with the children in fun and educational activities, reading is one of her strong suits and she has a way of making the stories come alive. Her creativity shines through in the imaginative games and crafts she comes up with, making every day an adventure. She is always on the go, from tummy time to swimming and gymnastics, play dates to park and museum visits she is always ready for an adventure. Her loving and caring nature ensures that the children feel safe, cherished, stimulated and happy. She is great at keeping with our hectic schedule while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. I can always count on her to be on time and reliable. She understands the importance of consistency and is always there when you need her. A family vacation is more stressful when she isn’t around. Sade is an amazing Nanny and a wonderful person, any family would be lucky to have her, I know I have been blessed. Reach out if you feel she is the right fit for your family, I’m happy to answer any question about her. I am dedicated to finding her a new family as we will be relocating at the end of the year and she will be available this upcoming January.

It is our pleasure to recommend Elodia, who has been caring for our son since he was just 5 days old.

Parent Reference

I am pleased to provide this reference for Lucretia (Pat) Jackman, whom our family has been lucky to know since 2018. I met Pat originally through a Mommybites reference years ago, for whom she worked for 5+ years. Currently Pat can be flexible, can live out and is open to live in positions. She is well equipped for either baby nurse or full time nanny positions. Pat is a true professional, dependable, intelligent, and genuine. She is everything we could have wanted for our kids and family for six years, starting from day one supporting the needs of two working parents in demanding jobs requiring travel. She was a committed, stable constant through the various stages, COVID, and multiple moves. Pat formed warm relationships with our friends and the grandparents too! On several occasions, parents and observers would find me to tell me what an incredibly proactive and attentive nanny Pat is. She inspires confidence and is personable, often a key person in bringing others together. She initiated meet ups, connected families, and put together events to make our kids feel special. Pat has exceptional skills in childcare, including creating and keeping to schedules, preparing meals, maintaining a hygienic, neat, and safe environment, and going above and beyond what is required to show she cares. She is an expert in the baby stage, such as establishing a sleep and feeding rhythm (including sleep training when ready), helping parents with nursing, pumping, formula and bottle feedings, bathing the baby, and the ever challenging task of cutting baby nails. She has a natural ability to engage with children as they grow, fostering a warm, creative, and educational environment. She helps children to develop new skills with confidence and navigate evolving, social dynamics. Led by a keen and genuine interest in enrichment, Pat provides strong scaffolding for kids to explore. When my son was learning how to walk, for example, she quickly established a routine of exercises for him at home, unprompted. When he later showed an initial interest in math, she was first to create worksheets to elevate his knowledge. Most importantly, she is trustworthy, honest, and fiercely protective. There is no doubt in my mind that our children were safe when in her care. Her punctuality and reliability are invaluable. She always arrived with at least 15 minutes to spare. Pat approaches every day with a positive attitude and joy, while taking her job very seriously. She is hardworking, proactive, efficient, and always thinks 5 steps ahead. She, for instance, would pack the kid's bags well in advance for our weekend getaways without being asked. Pat completes tasks methodically and quickly and takes feedback and direction well. Especially important in working in such a personal setting, she knew when to give us space, but was present and proactive when she could provide guidance. She offers flexibility in terms of schedule on nights and weekends and can travel domestically and internationally. She travelled with us often. When she had spare time as my son grew older, she cooked for the family and loved sharing delicious cuisine from Trinidad. She is a rare gem, and I would welcome any conversation to tell you more about her.

Dear Future Family, I am thrilled to recommend Tammy, who was our nanny from 2019 to 2020. Tammy cared for our two young children during a pivotal time in our family’s life, starting when our youngest was just 3 months old and our oldest was 2.5. Her kindness, positivity, and dedication made a world of difference for us, especially as I transitioned back to work after my maternity leave. Tammy brought a unique level of expertise to her role, as she is also a certified doula and a mother herself. She instinctively understood our children’s needs, particularly during those precious, sometimes challenging early months with a newborn. Every day, Tammy arrived with a huge smile and infectious joy, immediately engaging our children. She had a remarkable ability to keep them busy, active, and engaged in meaningful activities. Many days, I’d come home to find the kids laughing in the middle of a craft project, paint on their hands, and smiles all around. Tammy’s warmth and creativity were constants in our children’s lives, and she created such a positive, nurturing environment for them. Tammy truly became a positive and stabilizing force in our lives, and it was a tough day for all of us when she decided to transition out of her role to support her stepdaughter’s adjustment to life in the United States. We missed her so much that we ended up hiring her mother as our next nanny! That’s how much we trusted and valued Tammy and her family’s approach to caregiving. Tammy left a lasting impact on our family, and we still think so fondly of her time with us. She is warm, responsible, and committed to nurturing children in the best possible way. Her experience as a certified doula is a wonderful bonus, and she would be an incredible asset throughout pregnancy and into the early stages of motherhood as well as with older kids, with whom she brings so much FUN! I wholeheartedly recommend Tammy to any family looking for a caring, positive, and knowledgeable nanny. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d be happy to share more about our wonderful experience with her.

Semone Prescott

Parent Reference

I am writing to recommend Semone Prescott as a nanny for your family. Semone looked after my son for nearly two years and she performed diligently throughout her tenure. Semone is a loving, energetic and nurturing nanny and a testament to her quality is how my son turned out under her care: Respectful, loving and kind. She was highly motivated to learn as much as she could and performed extremely well utilizing her best capabilities. She frequently devoted herself for long hours to develop lesson plans for my children and monitor their progress. Semone was flexible, reliable and quick to adapt to our rapid-fire pace. Particularly, she is very skilled in: • Supervising children and caring for their needs • She helped our newborn reached each milestone through play • Planning, preparing and serving meals for children • Bathing, dressing and feeding infants and children • Preparing formulas and changing diapers Semone has a number of strengths but her main strength – according to my observation – is her capability to motivate children. She always seemed genuinely interested in children’s mental development and presented new ways of learning that captured their attention. Safety, trust, love, reliability, and common sense are her biggest assets; parents of children in her care never need to worry if their children are safe or well taken care of in the home or outside the home when she is working. Whether feeding and bathing a baby, overseeing playdates, watching on the playground, monitoring an illness, or picking-up/dropping-off at activities, her attention is on the kids at 110%. They are her priority at all times and her eyes and ears (and heart) are never turned off. In summary, Semone possess all qualities that make a nanny successful. She is very reliable, trustworthy, motivated, and able to make herself tune-up with the requirements of family and children. Once again, I highly recommend her for a nanny position.
