About Tatiana

Reviewed on 7/5/2023

Tati, our absolute gem of a nanny, has been with our family the last two years. She is the most hardworking, responsible, loving, energetic, and dedicated nanny, and her next family will be extremely lucky to have her. She is a true partner in parenting and has helped raise our two boys like they are her own. Tati started with our family when our boys were three and nine months old, but now that they will be going to school full-time in the Fall, our needs have changed (trust me, we wish we could keep her forever). Tati is extremely trustworthy – we know she always keeps our kids safe and puts their needs first. We have trusted her to drive our boys to and from school/camp and their various activities, and she has taken that responsibility very seriously. She has watched our kids for a few days when my husband and I were out of the country, and is always willing to stay late. Tati is full of energy and a lot of fun – she is constantly looking for the best playgrounds and parks to explore with our boys, and the boys greet her with excitement and big hugs each morning. She is also hands-on and extremely attentive. I took our kids to a local play gym one weekend, and the owner went out of his way to share with me that he has seen countless nannies through the years, but Tati stands out to him – she never has her phone out, is fully attentive to our boys, and is on the floor playing with them and actively engaging them each and every time. He told me that if he ever needed a nanny, she is the exact person he would want for his kids – while I knew this about her already, hearing it unprompted from a complete stranger was incredibly reassuring. Tati always takes initiative. She doesn’t need to be told what to do with your kids or how to do it – she just knows. She also pitches in all of the time around the house – whether it be unloading the dishwasher or folding laundry, if she has a free moment while the kids are asleep or preoccupied, she is doing something productive to help you out. As a busy, working mom, Tati’s photo updates keep me feeling connected to my kids all throughout the day and are invaluable to me. Tati is comfortable with dogs and cats and loves all animals (our dog, Lola, will certainly miss her daily treats, scratches, and walks with Tati). Her English is perfect but she also speaks Spanish – our younger son is now bilingual because of her. Our boys absolutely adore Tati (as do we), and this is truly a testament to the incredibly warm, loving, and nurturing person she is and the love that she has shown to all of us. Her next family will be extremely lucky to have her.
