If you get the chance, hire her!! She is everything you need and want in someone caring for your child. Grace was my daughter’s nanny from 11-20 months old. She was always on time, considerate, and communicated so well with us. She is reliable and trustworthy, and she always treated our daughter with kindness and love. If there was something we were teaching my daughter, Grace felt like a partner in that. Grace would do PT with her and focus her activities to help meet milestones. Grace played so well with her by teaching, reading, singing, and imaginative play. She was also willing to do a lot of outdoor activity which was important to us (walks, bike rides, sidewalk chalk, water table). I work from home which could have been a difficult situation to navigate, but Grace did an amazing job of distracting my daughter when it was a hard transition. She took initiative, which I loved, but also would follow any direction we gave her as well. I never felt like I had to worry about my daughter when Grace was watching her that day. I know that is rare, and we’re so grateful to have met Grace and gotten to know her! We would have loved to keep Grace forever, but had to say goodbye because of her move to Illinois. We miss her already!
