Kimberly R.

Kimberly took care of our twins during the weekdays when they were between 5 and 18 months old. Her responsibilities included dressing, changing, feeding, washing the kids' dishes, entertaining and washing their laundry. She was a fabulous nanny! Her strengths include: Concern for the best interests of our children. Kimberly watched their daily activities carefully and was diligent in attending to their needs. Perceptiveness in noting when a child is not feeling or acting normal. Her observational skills are excellent. She quickly noted changes in behavior and reported them. Reliability and trustworthiness. Kimberly had no difficulty watching our two kids at the same time. She was punctual in the morning and completed chores by the time I returned. I felt comfortable having her supervise the kids in our kiddy swimming pool and driving them to such places as the local Children's Museum. Excellent information exchange on the events of the day. Upon my return home in the afternoon, Kimberly provided a detailed and helpful report on the kids' activities. Ability to discipline while being kind. Kimberly was firm but nice when instructing the kids to not stand on the furniture, not throw their bottles, and other challenges that they presented. Willingness to go beyond expectations. Kimberly stayed extra hours upon our request. She gave numerous suggestions such as for foods to expand their menus, approved pacifiers and cute hairstyles for our daughter. Educational skills. Our daughter learned several words under Kimberly's care. Our son learned to "high-five" with her. Energy and pleasant personality. We were extremely pleased that Kimberly actively played with the kids. The kids clearly enjoyed their time with her. She also shared with us her creativity and originality. She had many ideas for toys and activities, such as making shaker toys and moving furniture around to make "camp" settings. We loved the onesies she made for the kids for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
