We feel incredibly lucky to have had Althea as our nanny and cannot recommend her highly enough. She joined our family when our daughter was just a few weeks old, and from day one, she brought so much care, consistency, and calm into our home. Althea is everything you’d hope for in a nanny—loving, reliable, patient, and deeply experienced with newborns and infants. She helped our daughter reach developmental milestones with ease and joy, and as first-time parents, she taught us just as much as she cared for our baby. She always arrived early, stayed late when needed, and never once missed a beat. She communicates clearly, takes feedback with grace, and has a warm, intuitive understanding of children’s needs. We trust her completely, and our daughter adores her. It’s only because we’re transitioning to preschool that we’re parting ways—otherwise, we would keep her with us forever. Any family would be lucky to have Althea, and we can’t wait to see her bring the same love and excellence to another little one.
