Nancy is patient, kind & amazing with kids. She made homemade food, was always on time & very mindful of our wishes about our almost 1 year old. Her & her family became part of ours. She took our daughter out & about, always having age appropriate activities planned for her. She's one of a kind. - Shannon
Nancy was good with our kids and engaged them. She was willing to take them out to parks and activities. Nancy watched our 1 and 3 year old. - Lindsey
I can’t speak highly enough about Nancy and her caretaking abilities. She is reliable, responsible, proactive and my kids’ favorite nanny—all traits that make her a great addition to the family. Whether it’s playing outside, making crafts, or helping with homework, Nancy is always helpful. Had we not moved out of state, we would have been lucky to keep her longer. - Elizabeth
