Testimonials from Happy Families

"But Nina is not just someone who passes time with children – she is a skilled educator who is clearly passionate about working with young people. While Nina has done “date night” babysitting for us, she more frequently spends weekend mornings with my children, which means she sees them for a four-hour block of time when they are full of energy and bouncing off the walls. Nina arrives at our house with a plan – truly, a curriculum – and supplies for creative projects that she has researched online or invented all on her own. Whether practicing writing letters in trays of shaving cream, dying rice and sorting it into colors, making three-dimensional sunflowers out of homemade paint stamps – her projects draw kids in, get them engaged, and teach them new things. On multiple occasions, I’ve come home after several hours out of the house and found them still clustered around the dining room table, working away at something with an impressive level of focus."

"Ms. Smith has babysat our two kids (daughter 9, son 7) on several occasions for the prior 4 years.  We first met Ms. Smith through her work as a teacher at our local elementary school.  We were thrilled when our son got into her class, as she has a sterling reputation and is beloved by neighborhood parents.  Ms. Smith had our son for two years (Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4), during which time he made remarkable strides.  We are so glad to learn that our niece is now in her class, as we know she too will grow and mature in the expert hands of Ms. Smith.  It was a real bonus to be able to have Ms. Smith babysit for us.  We heard from several other parents what a great job she does, and again, that totally checked out.  She plays games with the kids, reads to them, and makes sure they are in bed at the appropriate time.  We have 100% confidence leaving our kids with her, and the kids are always thrilled when they hear she is babysitting them.  "

“Nina was our Nanny for a year plus and instantly became part of our family. She’s patient and kind and can always be willing to go in there with the children. She’s a natural born teacher with the biggest heart."

“Nina is capable, patient, and kind. She has cared for my 2 daughters (age 1 and 3) and puts a lot of thought into creative, fun activities for them. She knows how to win over little ones, and I am always confident knowing my kids are in excellent hands when they are with her.”
