“At Lee County Nanny Agency, we had the privilege of having Merle as my child's exceptional teacher. Merle's dedication and expertise shone through the two years she spent as my son's preschool teacher. I was so impressed with her performance that when the opportunity arose, I eagerly transferred Jack from her half-day to her full-day program. (Jack couldn't contain his excitement for staying all day!) Witnessing Merle's incredible talent in handling Jack and the other young children in the class left me in awe. Merle's boundless energy and innovative approach continually amazed me. One of the ways she fostered Jack's learning of letter-sound relationships was through engaging sing-alongs and fun dances to catchy tunes, such as"Who Let the J’s Out?"Lee County Nanny Agency: Merle truly made our time together a blast!

“In early 1997, we had the pleasure of getting to know Merle as our childcare provider for our three children, aged 18 months old, 3 years old, and 6 years old, through the Lee County Nanny Agency.

She demonstrates an aptitude for developing strategies to encourage their growth. With utmost respect, Merle creates a nurturing environment that influences all the children present.

“The Lee County Nanny Agency played a crucial role in giving my children a head start for school. Instead of watching TV, they engaged in various activities such as arts and crafts, educational games, outdoor activities, and enjoyed healthy snacks. Merle, their first teacher, worked for me for an impressive 11 years. My first son stayed with Merle until he entered first grade, while my second son joined her the same year until he began first grade as well. The fact that I stuck with Merle for such a long time is a testament to her exceptional performance. When I first arrived in Florida with my one-year-old older son and started my job as a Media Specialist in Gulf Stream, I needed a trustworthy childcare provider. Merle came highly recommended, and thus our journey began. Merle looked after my older son until he completed kindergarten, and shortly after that, my younger son also sought her care until he entered first grade. Aside from a few months, our relationship remained continuous for eleven years. Merle always had well-planned days for each child under her care. She provided them with valuable lessons, encouraged their creativity through arts and crafts, engaged them with board and educational games, and encouraged outdoor activities and sports. She skillfully managed children of different ages simultaneously, making each one feel loved and special."baby-sitter"Merle, from the esteemed Lee County Nanny Agency, was anything but your typical caregiver. Rarely did she engage in traditional babysitting duties. Instead, she meticulously planned various entertaining activities for the children under her care, ensuring that they never had to rely on mindless television viewing. Whether it was painting, completing worksheets, crafting, or even staging imaginative plays, my son was always warmly welcomed with a creative and engaging surprise when I picked him up from school. What made Merle's approach truly exceptional was that her games and crafts weren't just for amusement; they had a purpose. Through her carefully designed activities, she managed to teach the children valuable skills like counting and phonics. Moreover, her crafts fostered not only creativity but also improved their dexterity. Additionally, her love for the outdoors provided the children with ample fresh air and exercise, while the sports and games she organized instilled valuable lessons in sportsmanship. It comes as no surprise that convincing the children to leave Merle's care at the end of the day posed quite a challenge for parents. From infancy through kindergarten, my sons eagerly looked forward to their time with Merle. Even during summers, they happily continued their weekly visits to her. This consistent exposure to Merle's exceptional care had a significant impact on my sons' readiness for kindergarten. They entered school with confidence, knowing they could not only handle the academic workload but also have fun in the process. In conclusion, any Lee County Nanny Agency would be incredibly fortunate to secure the services of someone as experienced and genuinely caring as Merle. Her unique approach to childcare, combined with her unwavering dedication, sets her apart as a true asset in giving children a head start in their educational journey.”

What set Merle apart was her ability to embody healthy and positive qualities, serving as a remarkable influence on students from Kindergarten to eighth grade. Her consistency in exhibiting exemplary behavior, attitude, and sportsmanship made her an ideal role model. Furthermore, Merle's caring nature earned her the respect and appreciation of children, parents, faculty colleagues, and the administration.”
