I would highly recommend Deborah (Lupe) as a full or part-time nanny to any family. She has a real talent with children and it shows. She bonded with our little girl instantly and our daughter is definitely on the shy side with strangers. Deborah's has vast experience, she has run an infant daycare, worked in preschools, been a private nanny and taken care of special needs children. After hearing about her experience and of course speaking to her stellar references I knew she was the right person to help us when our usual caregiver (my mother-in-law) could not be there. Deborah watched our daughter for a month for over 30 hours a week. I wasn't sure how our daughter would react to someone new and if it would disrupt our routine, but I should not have worried a bit because Deborah kept our daughter in wonderful spirits all day long. Deborah is a wonderful hands-on type of nanny. She played with our daughter, read her books, took her for walks, practiced drawing with her, helped her learn to walk, sang to her and rocked her to sleep for nap time, cooked for her and always cleaned our home and did laundry while our daughter was napping. Deborah is completely reliable and incredibly flexible. She was able to make whatever hours we needed and was never late and usually even early. We are so grateful to have found Deborah in a time of need. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family and I hope that she finds her next full-time family soon. Whomever hires Deborah will be so lucky to have such a wonderful caregiver for their children. Deborah is a real find and we will miss seeing her so often. If we were looking for a full-time nanny we would hire her in a heartbeat!

Lupe "Deborah" took care of our twin boys from the time they were 4 months old. She is the only nanny I interviewed that I trusted to take care of feeding, changing and caring for our infants. With her experience working in infant rooms at daycares/pre-schools, she was never phased by taking care of our two boys, even when they both demanded to be fed or held at the same time. She used to joke that caring for "only two" babies was easy! As our twins grew from infants to toddlers, Deborah was key to their development - making sure they had stimulating play/activities, helping in their transition from bottles to sippy cups, and working with the boys as they learned to eat on their own. In addition, Deborah is extremely reliable - in the nearly 15 months she worked for us, she never missed a day and rarely asked for time off. Most important, Deborah truly cares for our boys and they adore her. It is only because of our move away from San Diego and across the country that we had to give up Deborah as our nanny. We all miss her kind, caring and gentle nature. We only hope that another family will soon find Deborah, as we know she is truly happiest taking care of children. Sincerely, Jessica H.
