I have over 15 years of experience working with school-age-kids, children, babies & their families. I am a Non-smoke & I have my own car. I have a Master's in: School Counseling (K-12), Teaching License (K-6) and a Bachelors in Entrepreneurship/ Small Business Mngt. I have been a substitute and maternity leave teacher for both General Education and Special Education classes (Grades: 2 years, K-9). I was an elementary school counseling intern for grades K-4 for an entire school year. I love to make learning fun! The interests and abilities of your baby/child/ children, will determine what we do together. I was a home-schooling mom until 3rd grade. I am CPR & First Aid certified. Several of my reviews for daytime positions were times when my son was accompanying me. Now that my kids are school age, I typically work alone. I enjoy working one-on-one or with a small group of kids. I enjoy getting on their level. I love working part time as a nanny.

Robyn was wonderful with my children. I have 5 children ages 9,6,4,3, and 1. Robyn took time meeting my children and learning about their personalities to better serve their specific needs. I had never used a sitter before and, I was a Stay At Home Mom so I never really had much of a need for a sitter. Robyn understood the importance of my husband and I having alone time and, she also knew that it would be good for our children to have someone else around to help them understand that it's okay for us to leave. We completely trust Robyn!! Every time we returned home our children were in bed, our home was tidy, and we had crafts Robyn made with the kids while waiting for us. My children love Robyn and we intend to have her around our family as our children grow up. 

Robyn was such a blessing to our family. We were scrambling to find care for my 2 year old and 3 month old boys, and Robyn was able to accommodate us into your schedule at the last minute. 
I have so many incredible things to say about Robyn. First of all, we were excited to learn that she was going to bring her 3.5 year old son along with her to care for my boys. I knew that I. would make a great playmate for my little ones.  He was very respectful, kind and polite. His obedience to Robyn was impressive and not only did he make a fun playmate to my son, but also an excellent role model. He taught my toddler how to put together a 24 piece puzzle! He also showed him how to draw and color within the lines. I can only hope my toddler will keep these new skill set he learned from I. He was also very gentle to my 3 month old son. He treated him like his own little brother. 
I really appreciated Robyn's regular updates on our kids while we were at work. She texted us updates and sent us pictures of what the kids were up to throughout the day. These are pictures that will for sure make our family album. She had an individualized agenda for each of the boys, of which she also used to write her daily notes for us. I enjoyed reading these when I got home. 
My 3 month old was not an easy baby - he was fussy a lot and he was not a great feeder, and Robyn constantly came up with different ideas to help soothe him. She brought her own tools to help soothe our baby (baby carrier, nursery music, toys, etc.) and she even let us borrow them if she knew it helped soothe him. 
James definitely loved having Robyn and I. around. He will surely miss them. We knew when we hired her that she was only going to work for us for a short period of time, but we will treasure everything they have done for our family. 
She definitely exceeded beyond our expectations and we know that the next family she takes care of will be very lucky! The sense of security you get that your children are in great hands is priceless! There is no doubt we will hire her again if her schedule allows.

Robyn is very reliable and trustworthy.  My daughter loved her and we'll be hiring Robyn again. 

To Whom It May Concern:
 
I am writing in reference to Robyn D. She has provided childcare for both of my small children (starting at the ages of 6 months & 3 years old) for about a year. She has provided care during sporadic times when I had obligations for work or personal obligations out of town.  Most importantly, my husband and I were pleased with her care of our 2 children in her home this past weekend while we were out of town for three days.  
 
I have had the pleasure of seeing her provide excellent childcare for my children as well as other children, as if they were her own. Our daughter is always excited when she finds out she gets to spend time with Mrs. Robyn! She looks forward to the variety of games and activities that she gets to play with Robyn and her son, I. Our daughter adores I.  He is so good with both of my children and has really helped my daughter continue to learn how to share and play well with other children. What I really appreciate about Robyn is that she has or creates games that are geared toward the motor skills and development of each of my children.  She also tries to provide them with physical activities that help them learn while making it fun.  She did an excellent job with my 3 yr-old when she was beginning to potty train by creating reward charts and alternating the types of rewards to encourage the change in behavior. Robyn is always prepared and when needed, she has provided healthy meals for my children.  She has cared for my children in my home and in her home during work hours in addition to recently providing weekend & overnight care while my husband and I were in Chicago for a 3 day conference. She and her son make an excellent nanny team, and they are a wonderful asset to this family and any family they work with.
 
I always enjoy receiving periodic updates from her about how my children are doing during their time away from me.  Sometimes she includes adorable pictures of my children and I. playing or enjoying crafts and activities. These kinds of updates are always very comforting to my husband and I. Robyn responds promptly and appropriately to questions I have and also to challenges that arise while taking care of my children. I have the utmost confidence in her judgment, abilities, and maturity, and have always felt comfortable leaving my children in her care.
 
Sincerely,
Sarah B.

Robyn was wonderful with our 2yr old and 10mos old! She is very creative and plays fun and educational games that my 2yr old loved! She is very attentive and interactive with the children. I would definitely rehire her!

Robyn was absolutely fabulous with the kids.  We were sorry to loose her and would definitely hire her again.

Robyn currently takes care of our 10 month old daughter a couple of days a week. We love how interactive she is with her (lots of hands on attention). She really pays attention to her stage of development and her growth. She regularly notices when Helena has progressed into something new or gets better at something and is right on target with what we are noticing. Robyn also acquires new toys and educational activities that are developmentally appropriate as Helena ages. We get clear notes about what her activities were for the day. Robyn is easy to work with, communicate with, express concerns with, etc. We would actually have her care for our daughter more than two days a week if our locations were a better match.

My kids love going to Robyn's and I feel totally comfortable when they are there. She keeps them engaged all day with activities tailored to their likes/needs. Can't ask for much more than that.

Robyn is an excellent and trustworthy caregiver. She spent all her time and attention on my daughter. She got down on the floor to read to her and play with her. She is interactive and truly cares for the child or children she watches.

Robyn has been a great caregiver for our family.  She is dedicated to the children, incredibly patient, creative with time and activities, and sincerely grateful to have the opportunity to help your family.  Her ability to multi-task the needs of 3 kids with different needs and demands is impressive and her easygoing, adorable son enjoys being a part of the group! I would not hesitate to recommend her to you.

Robyn is great. She gets down on the floor with my daughter and plays with her. They read, sing, play, exercise. She and Robyn's young son play together and we look forward to seeing them each day. I work from home, so I get to see the one-on-one and interactive methods Robyn uses first-hand. She even goes above and beyond by clearly communicating what they do during the day, so I know when I am done working, if my daughter will be hungry or needs to have a dirty diaper changed. If I am done working and Robyn is still feeding her, she does not rush to leave. And she comes early so I can start work on time. She is fantastic and I look forward to a long care-giving relationship and play date relationship in our future with her.

Robyn has been a fantastic caregiver for our 3 boys - we have had her stay with our kids 3 separate times over a 2 week span and she has been flexible, reliable, caring, loving, and nurturing. She's a great Mom with her little boy and that extends to your children when she is in your home. Great experience (and I am super picky) and highly recommend her to your family!

I was looking for a regular date night sitter so my husband and I could have a night out every month and we found that with Robyn. She was very interactive with the kids and especially with my son who has autism. If he got bored with the current activity, she would take him and do something else with him while my daughter continued with that activity. She is very punctual and the house was picked up and kept clean. The kids really liked her. I would recommend her to anyone and will continue to use her on a regular basis for our date nights.

Robin really helped me out in a pinch. I found myself without a sitter and she showed up the night before my work shift to meet my kids and arrived 10 minutes early the next day take care of them on short notice. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day. My house was picked up and clean when I got home. And both my boys were very happy. I would recommend Robyn to anyone.

I worked with Robyn when she worked at our school corporation as a school counselor.  Robyn has a masters in school counseling, and she worked at one our elementary schools to cover a maternity leave.  Robyn did an outstanding job!  She related well with the students, their families, and with the staff.  She was well-organized in getting her work done and in coordinating programs at the school.  She was always trying to find out what the needs of the students were so that she could design her programs to meet their needs.  Robyn was also open to new learning.  She asked questions and always wanted to do what was best for the students.  I would highly recommend Robyn for any job that involved her working with children.  She understands child development and has an educational focus.

I am a homeschooling mom with seven children. When our 7th child was born, Robyn (a friend of the family) came over some mornings and played/watched the baby while I did school with the other children. Robyn is very kind and loving. She was always careful about listening to what I wanted done and doing it. Robyn is conscientious about her work. She was always punctual. Robyn has been helping our family for about a year. My youngest child was about 6 months when Robyn started coming over. Robyn eats lunch with us and interacts with all my children very well.  I would trust her with my children even if I was not at home.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter of reference on behalf of Robyn D. 
I would highly recommend Robyn for any position that would involve working with kids or adults with special needs.  Robyn has been a long time and faithful volunteer in our church ministry.  She  has been a "special buddy" volunteer at our "parent's night out" respite events for families with special needs.  Robyn is extremely capable, responsible and overall excellent with these individuals

Robyn would be an asset to any agency providing care.  

Sincerely, 

Angela H.
