"We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Margaret as a part of our family. From day one, she has been warm, patient, and attentive, providing a safe and nurturing environment for our children. Her ability to engage through creative activities, learning exercises, and outdoor play has been truly amazing.
She is not only dependable and responsible, but also went above and beyond to make sure our children were happy and well cared for. We always felt at ease knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. Communication was always excellent, and Margaret was more than flexible and accommodating whenever needed.
I highly recommend Margaret to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated nanny. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our family!"

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Hannah. I am currently working full time as a nanny for a two and a half year old girl, but as she is going to preschool, I am looking for a new full time or close to full time role, ideally with an infant or toddler. I love to challenge kids to grow by getting off screens, spending time outside, and being creative.

"Hannah brought a calm, gentle presence into our home and instantly built a wonderful bond with our toddler. As a talented artist, she encouraged creativity, keeping every day lively with imaginative play, dance parties, and fun trips to the pool and library. She maintained our daily schedule, created a cleaning schedule, kindly enforced rules, and helped navigate a successful potty training journey. She is reliable, creative, and caring. Any family would be lucky to have Hannah, she will be missed!"
