Lucy H.

Lucy was more than just a nanny to our family. For four years she nurtured and cared for our two daughters from 3 months of age until they were old enough for pre-school. She shaped their early childhood experiences in the most positive way and my girls still express how much they miss her months later. Her love made our home special. She read Spanish books and played music for the girls and made nutritious delicious lunches for them. Hiring her allowed my husband and I to bring another language into our home and she always left our house cleaner then when she arrived. I still can't get my oven or shower as clean as when she did them. Lucy was a great resource during postpartum with my second child as she not only watched my first born while I recovered but she would also watch the newborn for some time so I could get some rest or a workout during my maternity leave. By far the most special time of my life, it would not have felt that way without Lucy. Lucy spent countless hours on walks and at our local parks, encouraging our girls to play, explore, and make friends outside. Beyond her exceptional childcare skills, Lucy was a wonderful presence in our community. She was always friendly and approachable, building strong relationships with other nannies, parents and children at the park. When spending time at a park with my girls, another parent recognized my child and told me just how lucky I was to have Lucy and that she was so attentive to the girls and never sat still ensuring they were always safe. Lucy's impact on our family was profound. Her dependability, patience, and love for our children were truly exceptional. She has a great family with two daughters that have also watched our girls. We are grateful for the opportunity to have had her in our lives and will always cherish the memories she helped create for my girls and for my husband and I as new parents.
