I am pleased to recommend Reyna as an exceptional caregiver. As a mother of four boys, including a recent newborn, I do not take lightly who I trust in my home or with my children. Reyna is someone I trust fully. I have employed Reyna for several years , and she consistently demonstrates a rare combination of responsibility, attentiveness, and emotional intelligence. She is reliable, communicative, patient, and deeply respectful of family dynamics, routines, and boundaries. With children, she is patient, engaging, and intuitive — able to meet them where they are while maintaining structure and safety. This is essential because three of my sons are disabled—two of them have severe disabilities which can make them aggressive and disregulated. She is so loving and patient with them, and understands that they are just frustrated with their inability to communicate their needs and wishes. I have employed other caregivers who have limited patience, and treat my children as though they are lacking or much too trying, but Reyna is loving, gentle, resourceful, and also fun. Reyna has a natural ability to connect with children across ages and disabilities. She brings a calm, steady presence, even in high-energy and demanding environments, and she is thoughtful in how she supports both developmental needs and day-to-day care. Whether assisting with routines, engaging in play, or navigating moments of stress or transition, she approaches caregiving with intention and care. She also taught my three older sons how to swim which was no small feat because of their unique needs. Additionally, when needed she’s cared for our pets and watched them while we were on vacation which was so helpful. Beyond her warmth, Reyna is highly organized and dependable. I have trusted her in my home and with my children, and she has consistently followed through with professionalism and integrity. Any family would benefit from her presence, not only as a caregiver but as someone who genuinely contributes to a supportive and respectful environment. I recommend Reyna without reservation.
