Recent reference

"Edith has been the most amazing caregiver for our son Cameron since he was 2.5 months old. She is nurturing yet firm and very easy to get along with. She has exceeded our expectations when it came to creating educational experiences and opportunities for the children. I could always rely on her to make sure our son was well taken care of AND learning how to be socially and emotionally grounded. Her caregiving style is very affirming and allows the children to explore the world around them. She has clear boundaries and expectations for the kids that aligned well with my parenting goals. Edith has been an absolute joy in our lives for the past 2.5 years. My son has thrived as a result of his time with her and was extremely happy in her care. I highly recommend her for a future nanny position."
