“Kenai Peninsula County Nanny Agency: Merle proved to be an exceptional teacher for my child. Over the course of two years, she served as my son's preschool teacher and demonstrated outstanding performance that exceeded my expectations. Such was my satisfaction with Merle's teaching abilities that I decided to switch Jack from her half-day program to her full-day program as soon as it became available. Jack himself was so captivated by her teaching that he pleaded to stay all day! I was in awe of Merle's skill in engaging not just Jack but also the other young children in her class. What impressed me the most was her boundless energy and creativity, evident in her methods such as incorporating singing and dancing into learning letter-sound relationships."Who Let the J’s Out?"I had such a fantastic time with Merle from the Kenai Peninsula County Nanny Agency!

Her no-nonsense approach allowed her to effectively handle large groups of children, even those of different ages, while also recognizing and nurturing each child's individual personality and skills. Merle's love for children coupled with her experience enables her to quickly assess each child's strengths and weaknesses, and she develops strategies to facilitate their growth in the areas they excel in.

Additionally, she has a remarkable ability to make learning enjoyable, imparting new skills to children through creative methods.

“Kenai Peninsula County Nanny Agency has been an exceptional source of support for my family. Merle, our nanny, played a vital role in preparing my children for school. Instead of allowing them to watch TV, Merle engaged them in arts and crafts, educational games, outdoor activities, and served them nutritious snacks. She truly acted as their first teacher. Merle faithfully worked for me for 11 years. She took care of my eldest son until he reached first grade, and in that same year, she began caring for my second son until he also entered first grade. I would not have maintained such a long-term working relationship if I were not extremely satisfied with her performance. My initial encounter with Merle happened when I first moved to Alaska and started a new job as a Media Specialist in Craig. At that time, I had a one-year-old son, and Merle came highly recommended as a childcare provider. Thanks to her, my older son attended Merle's care until he completed kindergarten, and shortly after, my younger son joined her until he too began first grade. Except for a brief period, our association lasted continuously for eleven years. Merle masterfully planned each day for all the children under her care. Not only did she incorporate instructive lessons, but she also organized arts and crafts, board games, educational games, outdoor activities, and sports. She demonstrated an exceptional ability to care for children of different ages simultaneously, making each one feel appreciated and cherished."baby-sitter"When it comes to Merle, the caregiver associated with Kenai Peninsula County Nanny Agency, it was a rarity for her to engage in any type of traditional babysitting. Instead, she consistently provided the children under her care with a wide range of fun and entertaining activities, never resorting to television as a means of keeping them occupied. When the school day came to an end and I would pick up my son, I was always greeted with a creative output of his time spent with Merle - whether it be a painted artwork, a completed worksheet, a crafted item, or occasionally, he would even excitedly don a costume to enact a play for me. Her approach to games frequently incorporated educational elements like counting and phonics, fostering their learning in an interactive way. Not only did her craft activities nurture their creativity, but they also developed their dexterity. It was evident that Merle's love for the outdoors provided the children with invigorating fresh air and ample opportunities for exercise. The sports and games she organized also promoted the importance of sportsmanship. To be honest, the biggest challenge as a parent was convincing my son to leave at the end of the day, as he always wanted to stay longer and continue enjoying the stimulating environment Merle created. From the time they were infants through their kindergarten years, my sons wholeheartedly enjoyed attending Merle's care, including once a week even during summers. Sending my sons to Merle gave them a significant advantage when it came to starting school, as they felt confident in their abilities and knew they could enjoy their learning experiences. Any Kenai Peninsula County Nanny Agency would truly be fortunate to have someone as experienced and caring as Merle to entrust with the well-being of children.”

“Merle, who served as the director for Pedro Bay School Athletics and physical education, as well as Girls' Athletics in grades five through eight from 1977 to 1982, was an exceptional teacher and coach. She displayed a high level of proficiency and effectiveness in skills and methodology, making her a valuable leader in the athletic department. Additionally, her positive qualities and influential demeanor had a remarkable impact on the lives of students ranging from Kindergarten to eighth grade. Consistently, she demonstrated outstanding behavior, attitude, and a strong sense of sportsmanship, setting a remarkable example for all. As a coach, she took great care in fostering a respectful and appreciative environment, gaining the respect and admiration of children, parents, faculty colleagues, and the administration.”
