"Tamia was an absolute asset to our family and a joy to work with. Her natural ability to connect with children, combined with her calm, dependable nature, made her incredibly trustworthy and effective. She was always on time, proactive, and handled every situation, even unexpected ones, with professionalism and care. Tamia brings warmth, patience, and structure into every space she’s in. Any family would be lucky to have her as a caregiver. She always went above and beyond by organizing educational activities and keeping the environment fun and safe. Her communication with both children and adults was exceptional.. always clear, kind, and respectful."

💰 My rate: Starting at U$ 20/H for one child (willing to negotiate for the right family)

"Trish was a wonderful nanny since our boy was 6 months old. From the very beginning, Trish became an integral part of our family. She is warm, kind, cheerful, and brings an exceptionally positive attitude to her work every day. Our son absolutely adores her; she has been his best friend and a constant source of joy and comfort. She also has a natural love for animals and formed sweet bonds with our dog and even our neighborhood cats. She is adaptable and always willing to adjust to changes in our routines, whether nap times, meal schedules, or activity plans. We especially appreciate Trish’s attentiveness to our son’s developmental needs. She encouraged his curiosity, taught him new words, and kept him happily engaged with both indoor and outdoor activities. She respects our parenting approach, follows our instructions carefully, and shows excellent judgment when making independent day-to-day decisions. We have always felt that our child was in safe, capable, and loving hands."
