I have known Claudia since 2016, when she began as a Bilingual Volunteer for Gaithersburg HELP. She has stayed devoted, and committed to helping other families in need, even though she has had some tough times herself. She is extremely reliable and very committed to doing her job as best as she can, while always trying to improve herself.

To Whom It May Concern, It is with the utmost confidence and gratitude that I recommend Claudia, who served as our family caregiver for over five years. During this time, Claudia demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and dedication, becoming an indispensable part of our lives. In each of tasks she performed the household, ( caregiver, pet sitter and house cleaner) she showed remarkable expertise, patience, and an ability to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our family. Her attention to detail and proactive approach ensured the highest level of care and comfort for our loved ones. Beyond her technical skills, Claudia's warmth and kindness truly set her apart. She formed deep, genuine connections with each member of our family, treating everyone with dignity, respect, and empathy. Her presence brought a sense of calm and reassurance to our home, and her unwavering commitment to our well-being was evident in everything she did. Claudia is a rare find—a caregiver who not only excels in her role but also possesses the intangible qualities that make her a joy to work with. We cannot recommend her highly enough and are confident she will bring the same level of excellence and compassion to any future opportunity.

Claudia was our nanny for 3 years and she was like a member of our family. She is so warm and loving to the kids. She really enjoyed taking them out to do fun activities. She was extremely helpful around the house as well and never had idle time when the kids were napping or at school. We still have a wonderful relationship with Claudia and would highly recommend her to any family in need!

Claudia is the best! She babysat our 2 children for over 8 years and we could not be happier. She was extremely reliable, dependable, and always punctual. The kids loved her and she was great with them—she is gentle and loving, and genuinely loves what she does, especially taking the kids outdoors for fresh air and activities. We love and trust Claudia. She became part of our family and you will be glad to have her in yours!

Claudia is the nanny for my daughter’s two friends. We meet at the park nearly everyday for over two years. She’s always the fun nanny! She brings a lot of toys, bikes, and all types of games to entertain both the boys she cares for and for others at the park. She’s very generous and is always excited to see my daughter. Anyone would be lucky to have her!

We have been beyond fortunate to have Claudia as a part of our family for the past two years. She has cared for our two children (now 2 and 4) with a level of love, dedication, and enthusiasm that is truly remarkable. From the very beginning, she has been hands-on and engaged, ensuring that every day is filled with fun, adventure, and meaningful learning experiences. Claudia is incredibly active and always finds creative ways to keep the kids engaged - whether it's exploring the outdoors, organizing arts and crafts, or visiting the local library or park. She has an innate ability to match their energy and curiosity, making every moment exciting and memorable. Beyond her exceptional childcare skills, she has been a dependable and organized presence in our home. She handled all child-related housekeeping, from laundry to preparing meals and snacks, ensuring our home was always a nurturing and organized environment for our children. What sets Claudia apart is her genuine love for our kids. She isn't just a caregiver - she is a source of comfort, and a beloved part of their world. She has taught them kindness, independence, and a sense of adventure that we know will stay with them for years to come. We cannot recommend Claudia highly enough. She has been an invaluable part of our lives, and any family would be truly lucky to have her. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
