Most recent review
It is with a heavy heart that we are saying goodbye to our wonderful nanny, Malissa, as our daughter transitions to Pre-K. For two years, Malissa hasn’t just been an employee; she’s been a part of our family. She has a rare gift for meeting children 'on their level' and is deeply in tune with both physical and emotional needs. Whether she’s leading a masterclass in pretend play or facilitating educational activities that have given our daughter a massive head start on her writing and phonics, Malissa does it all with love. She is one of a kind. Dependable, creative, and always puts safety first! She is a fantastic communicator, highly flexible, and maintains a perfect balance of 'fun' and 'structure.' Having worked from home alongside her, we can personally vouch for her work ethic and her gentle, engaging spirit. We recommend her without reservation knowing she will be a massive asset to her next family.
