I am very happy to recommend Miss LaVerne to anyone interested in hiring her as their nanny. LaVerne is very well organized, detail oriented (which as a single parent I appreciated a great deal) & obviously cared for my children a great deal. She was willing to be flexible about time and tasks which was also a help. I am more than happy to speak more about LaVerne's time with us and to recommend her to your family as well. Rob G.
