A little bit about me
My name is Heron Yosief Haile. I grew up in a large family and was the family babysitter during family events. I have experience with kids of all ages from infancy to 18+ both with a verified agency and private clients. I can cook, tutor, am First AID/CPR certified for all ages. I have a variety of interests which allows me to easily bond with people. I prefer to let the kids no matter their age guide our activities within age-appropriate and parental parameters as I believe that agency is important everyone. I am an effective communicator, respectful, and patient.

"Heron was a phenomenal employee. She took great care of our son, always coming up with fun and exciting activities and giving him a lot of delicate care and love. Our son had special medical needs and she learned how to care for him quickly. She was humble, and willing to dig in and learn special medical instructions, breastmilk instructions, and other house management tasks such as baby laundry, dishes, etc. She always listened to our instructions and requests. She was reliable and dependable. You can tell she truly loves children by the love and care she puts into watching them. I would definitely recommend Heron as a nanny."

"Teacher Jayna was my girls' swim instructor. My children are very people cautious but they warmed up to her quickly. By the end of our 6 week session, Teacher Jayna was a constant mention in our household.
With my children, Jayna was warm, patient and knew how to connect with them by playing games and making the swim session fun. We were sad when our time ended but will be back to look for her when we are ready to swim again."

"“Honey” (Alexandria) is the best! We adore her. She is so fun, always singing, dancing and brings thoughtful toys and activities for the kids based on their interests. She is very reliable, always on time and follows schedules well. It’s clear that she is truly enjoying her time as a babysitter and it’s not just a job for her. I was forced to choose an end date for this review but hopefully we can continue to use her for many years to come!"

She is a great communicator, fluent in English / Spanish / Portuguese and goes above and beyond with extra cleaning and help around the house during nap times.

"Lisa’s been our daughter’s nanny for a year and we feel beyond lucky to have found her. As first time parents we were so overwhelmed with everything to consider when selecting a nanny. Lisa is caring, kind, funny and has largely contributed to our toddler’s language skills, confidence and love for the outdoors! Lisa has been an integral part of our family for a year - our 1.5 year old loves her so much, and we find ourselves supported as if a trusted family member was with her. Lisa is knowledgeable, a true professional, never on her phone, and treating our child with respect and genuine love. We’ve had parents at playgrounds approach us to say how amazing Lisa is with our daughter. Lisa brings a ton of knowledge to the table without forcing anything on you (she would adjust to your style) and doesn’t flinch at any challenges - hard naps, transition to solids, crawling to walking transitions, etc. I highly recommend Lisa. Any family will be lucky to have her in their corner!"
