Claudia D.

I know Claudia very well, as we have been working together as colleagues in a preschool for 2 years. I value her as an exceptionally reliable and hard-working person, who would go out of her way to ensure the best of each child in her care. Claudia looks at each child in a holistic manner, treats them with respect and constantly analyzes and adapts to each kid's individual needs and interests. She has become my dear friend and I have entrusted her on several occasions my own two children (3 and 6), who were always looking forward to spending an afternoon or evening with her. Any parents would be lucky to have Claudia by their side, supporting the emotional, educational, social, and physical needs and development of their children!

Claudia has cared for our then 3-4 year old child and it was all along an amazing experience, for our son and us parents. She has built for him and with him such a nurturing and enriching environment, with daily creative projects and outdoor exploration time. They baked the best healthy muffin ever! Our son thrived in her care, while we relied heavily on her insights and the abundance of knowledge in early child development. To this day our son calls her 'best teacher ever!'. Although we have moved on to NYC public school system, we have stayed in touch and socialize privately. When you see her interact with her own children, it only makes sense how she is so absolutely wonderful as an early childhood caregiver. Highly recommend!

Hello, my name is Jane, I’m a Brooklyn mom. Claudia has my highest recommendation as a caregiver/ babysitter. She has lovingly cared for my (now 8-year old) daughter since she was 2 years old. She is an outstanding human being, mother of 2 wonderful (college-aged) children, and an incredible asset to any family who hires her. She is flexible, adaptable and professional while being warm and personable. She is extremely reliable, consistent, punctual, tidy, communicates well and is a genuine pleasure to be around. I trust her judgment and always felt so relaxed when my daughter was in her care. Claudia is an expert early childhood educator and caregiver. She has years of caregiving and early childhood education experience and child development knowledge that inform everything she does. This is a huge asset that sets Claudia apart. Children love Claudia. She is instinctively nurturing, gentle and relaxed with children. She understands well what children need and has the right mix of being consistent and clear while being gentle, empathic and patient. Her nature is sweet, humble, warm, loving and friendly so kids are naturally drawn to her. She knows so many fun games, activities, art projects to keep the children happy, stimulated and engaged. My little girl was and still is always so excited to spend time with Claudia. Claudia is an incredible mother. She has raised two brilliant, successful, kind, cultured and well-rounded children who have profited greatly from her nurturing, intuitive and peaceful parenting style. She and I have had many conversations about parenting in the years I’ve known her and I have valued her advice and opinion. I admire her as a mother and consider her children very lucky to have Claudia as their mother. Her experience and wisdom would be a great asset to any parent, especially those who are newer to parenting. Claudia is a lovely person. She’s full of great qualities as a human being: she’s polite, respectful, sweet, friendly, trustworthy, intelligent, worldly, humble and has deep integrity. She’s so easy to be around. Neither my daughter nor I ever had anything but positive experiences with Claudia. Any family that ends up working Claudia will surely love her and be so grateful they found her. She is a gem.
