Rosa H.

Rosa R. H. provided live-out care for our son from February 14, 2011 through October 21, 2011. Our son was 3 months old when she started and 11 months old when she departed. Her hours were 7:30 to 3:30 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and on Mondays from 7:30 to 5:00. She was entirely responsible for him during those hours including, but not limited to playing with him, feeding him, putting him down for naps, doing his laundry, preparing his meals and cleaning his room. Rochy is very punctual. She was always on time, if not 5 minutes early everyday. I never had to worry about her arriving late. As a working mom it was wonderful to know I could depend on her to be on time. Rochy was unbelievably loving to our son. We would joke about how much she spoiled him. She would take him on outings almost every day; to the park, on walks, to the mall, to the pool, to ride the carousel and to ride the train. Our son always lit up when she arrived in the morning. And although it was never expected, she was always buying little things for him. I knew that he was always on her mind even when she wasn't working. Rochy was always respectful of how we wanted our son to be cared for. As new parents, we relied heavily on books, the internet and the advice and guidelines given to us by our pediatrician. Even though she might not have always agreed with how we wanted things done, she did as we asked. Rochy always cleaned up at the end of the day. She washed bottles, did his and her dishes, cleaned up his toys and straightened his room. As an extra, she would also empty the dishwasher for us, too, which was a great help. Rochy is extremely responsible. I knew that our son was in the very best of care when he was with her. He was always her number one priority and that is a priceless feeling for a parent. Unfortunately, Rochy had to leave us in order to help out her family. We are severely disappointed, but also very thankful for the time she was able to spend with us. She was definitely a blessing to our family and I know she will be thought of in the same way by the next family that is lucky enough to have her. Sincerely, Jennifer H.

To Whom It May Concern, It is my sincere pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Rosa H. She has been with us for just over a year now and she was absolutely fantastic, especially for new first time parents attempting to find a work-life balance while both of us worked. Not only did Rosa take great care of our daughter, but she took good care of us as well. While our little girl was always her priority, she took it upon herself to become a caregiver for the whole family. She often cooked dinner for us, kept the house very clean, did the baby's laundry when necessary, and took care of many little things that had a huge positive impact for us, making more precious time available for us to spend with our little girl. Rosa was always on time, ringing the doorbell at exactly 7:30 and it was really great to have that consistent level of reliability. I cannot stress how much this seemingly small detail meant to us in terms of planning our busy lives. Our daughter was always well fed, clean, well cared for and happy. Her happiness was our primary measure of how things were working out with Rosa. When arriving home after work each day, our daughter was always clean, well rested, well fed, well dressed, and in a great mood. We were truly sorry to lose Rosa and she left some very big shoes to fill for the next nanny we find. We happily offer ourselves a reference for anyone thinking of hiring Rosa for any kind of nanny or babysitting duties. Sincerely, Ian M. and Roma K.

My name is Eric W. and I am an Officer The United States Coast Guard in San Diego, and a father to two beautiful children. I am writing today in strong support of Rosa Hammer. I have known Rosa since 2007 when I met her while she was interviewing to care for my two children. Rosa is dependable, caring, trustworthy, and committed. She exemplified these traits while we worked together in caring for my children from 2007 to 2009. Her care for my children has surpassed my expectations. Rosa has given my children social and educationally skills that they would not have received with anyone else, especially in language, as well as other areas. Furthermore, Rosa's attitude, demeanor, and selflessness has been an inspiration. She has enriched my family's life. Rosa is easily one of the best workers I have met in my in a long time. It is for these reasons that it is my honor to recommend Rosa for any childcare position. Posted by Care.com on behalf of Eric W. Rosa has been with us since Jan. 2008. As Military parents, we relied upon Rosa to care for our children full-time. Our jobs are very demanding and sometimes we would need Rosa to stay late or keep the kids over night. She has set the bar for other sitters, such as always being on time. She has taught our children the Spanish language and always has there best interest at heart. She always has the kids doing activities, like going to the park, pool and other outings. The kids are always coloring, and involved in learning activities. She has become a part of our family and we are blessed to have had her care for our children Posted by Care.com on behalf of Krista H.
