I would like to take a moment to tell you a little about myself. I am a mother to two daughters. I love seeing them become independent caring individuals; I feel that is the goal as parents. I have a degree in Psychology, a minor in Music Therapy, I am a certified Recreation Therapist, and certified Special Education Paraprofessional. I have worked as a head teacher for the infant and toddler rooms, Recreation therapist in Nursing homes and currently as a nanny. My main goals as a caretaker is to keep the child happy, healthy and successful. I am a caring and creative person. I love to read, paint, sew and any other creative outlet.
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Colleen as a nanny and childcare provider. Colleen has been part of our family for over a decade, caring for my daughter from age one through the present , she is now eleven and still considers Colleen family. I count her as a close friend. Her responsibilities were wide-ranging: school pickups, activities, homework, piano practice, cooking, laundry, and bedtime routines. My daughter was notoriously difficult to get to sleep, and Colleen was one of the only people — besides her parents — who could settle her down. She spent the night on multiple occasions while we traveled and joined us on a two-week vacation in Europe. Colleen brings a natural gift for working with children. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely loves kids, and is professional, punctual, and respectful of boundaries. She remains our first call whenever we need a sitter. That says everything. I recommend her without reservation.
