"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Colleen as a nanny and childcare provider.
Colleen has been part of our family for over a decade, caring for my daughter from age one through the age of 8— she is now 11 and still considers Colleen family. I count her as a close friend.
Her responsibilities were wide-ranging: school pickups, activities, homework, piano practice, cooking, laundry, and bedtime routines. My daughter was notoriously difficult to get to sleep, and Colleen was one of the only people, besides her parents, who could settle her down. She spent the night on multiple occasions while we traveled and joined us on a two-week vacation in Europe.
Colleen brings a natural gift for working with children. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely loves kids, and is professional, punctual, and respectful of boundaries.
She remains our first call whenever we need a sitter. That says everything.
I recommend her without reservation"
