I enjoyed raising 5 great kids & 3 grandsons/10, 11 & 13 yrs. I have returned to nannying in 2013, after working many years in the corporate world. I find that children of all ages respond well to my ability to build a strong confidence & great character through the right kind of affirmation, patience, care/fun. I began developing my own unique style assisting early readers to love reading and learning using developmental exercises. My top priorities with families are safety, honesty, integrity, loyalty & discretion. I am confident that I will be an asset to your family. I am currently studying Emotional Regulation with Psychologist Mona Delahooke working toward my degree in Body/Brain regulation. I currently work with two preschool children with this emotional regulation concept.

Colleen was always on time, it's a kind soul, and our boys loved her.

Colleen has been a joy to have with us. She always comes to work on time and didn't take any unplanned time off.  Being a dual income family, this is critically important to us. Beyond her dedication, Colleen has been wonderful for our daughter. Colleen is very interactive - reading, singing, playing, and caring for our baby. We never saw her spending time on her phone or watching TV or other things instead of caring for our daughter. As our baby grew, we saw that Colleen adjusted her approach to match our baby's abilities. To get out of the house, she takes our daughter on walks, to the park, to play dates, and other fun things. It is obvious Colleen truly cares about the children she cares for. 

Beyond the great care she provided, Colleen is a big help around the house. She cleans, cooks, and does laundry. Having Colleen with us has been a huge help and keeps our stress levels to a minimum. 

We were very fortunate to have Colleen, she's our Mary Poppins.

Colleen is a wonderful addition to any family. Never in my life have I met someone so punctual! If she says she will be there for you, she will be there which is hard to find these days! Colleen has a warm and caring personality who can runs circles around any 20 something and her commitment to her job is amazing. I would recommend her to anyone seeking help in their home! 

Colleen has been such a blessing to our family. She is currently our nanny for my three sons who adore her! She is trustworthy, dependable and always going out of her way to be helpful. She is both attentive and caring, consistent and truly skilled at dealing with little people and their behavior.  My children are not always the easiest bunch! It is rare to find someone of her caliber and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.

I have known Colleen for almost ten years now. I have watched her care for many children over the years including my five children. She has always found creative ways to meet the specific needs of each child in her care. She is compassionate and caring, but also firm when needed. I don't believe anyone would ever regret bringing her into their homes and lives.

I am the fun-loving awesome extrovert that I am because of mom! She helped create a balanced home when the real world and life were.  The level of attention to my childhood that she placed on the everyday details of raising us hobbits was a healthy environment for me become strong in.  Life is never perfect and neither are people, but Colleen made the best of things and taught me that wholesome attitude along with a love and respect for young and old in this generation where it seems to be disappearing from our youth. 
She has taken care of our two boys numerous times as well.  There is no question to her devotion and integrity for the little hearts of the children around her. :-)  She also follows alongside what we desire for our own children's raising up with a respectful mix of her own opinion for the mental and physical well being.  Obviously I am biased, but I do have the inside track to how amazing a woman this lady is!  

Love you Mom,

Colleen has been with us since March 1st and my boys love being with her. She is very interactive with them and she is always positive with them. She is dependable and on time. She makes it a priority to always be there when she is scheduled. She always helps them with their homework, crafts and she interacts with them on the playground and back yard. She has more energy than me! She will be with us for a long time.

We hired Colleen to watch our four month old daughter regularly and couldn't be happier.  Colleen has many wonderful qualities but the most important to us was her experience with children.  Colleen is punctual, trustworthy and tentative.

Colleen has been great with my 18-month-old son. He loves when she comes over to babysit him because she will read him books and play with him the whole night. We have never had any problems or complaints about her.

Colleen watches our one year old when we go out for our date nights. She is very loving and creative as she entertains him! Currently our lil' guy is going through separation difficulties, but Colleen has a way with him that is incredible. We trust her completely!
