I am a State Certified Nutritionist Assistant with over 34 years of experience working for W. I. C. with expecting mothers, new mothers, and their infants. I am CPR certified, have given classes in nutrition, breastfeeding, and prenatal. Aside from my experience working at W. I. C. I am a mother myself to 2 boys and 2 girls. As of late I worked as a nanny taking care of a sweet new born boy for the past year. I am passionate about child development whether it be through nutrition or simply ensuring they have a fun/safe environment to grow/develop.
We have been incredibly fortunate to have Thelma as our nanny for the past 2.5 years, and she has truly become a cherished member of our family. Thelma cares for our 4-year-old and 1-year-old daughters during the workweek, and from the very first day, she won them over completely. Our girls are typically quite selective about who they warm up to, but Thelma’s gentle, patient, and loving nature built instant trust and deep affection. Watching their faces light up when she arrives each morning is one of the sweetest parts of our day. Beyond the basics of playtime, nap routines, preparing nutritious meals, and keeping everything tidy after eating, Thelma brings so much more to our home. She creates fun, age-appropriate activities that keep our older daughter engaged and learning while giving our toddler the safe, nurturing attention she needs. She’s wonderfully organized, proactive about cleanup, and always goes the extra mile without ever needing to be asked. What truly sets Thelma apart, though, is her genuine love and concern for our entire family. She treats my wife and me with the same warmth and care she shows our daughters—checking in on how our day is going, offering thoughtful advice, and always making us feel supported and valued. It’s rare to find someone who makes you feel like you’re her own children, but that’s exactly how Thelma makes us feel. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have Thelma in our lives. She isn’t just a wonderful nanny—she’s family. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind-hearted, experienced, and truly invested in your children’s happiness and your family’s well-being, Thelma is simply the best. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
