“Grundy County Nanny Agency: Merle was an outstanding teacher for my child! She was my son's preschool teacher for a consecutive two years, and her performance was truly exceptional. I was extremely satisfied with Merle's teaching abilities to the point that I decided to transfer Jack from her half-day program to her full-day program as soon as it became available. It was clear that Jack also loved being in Merle's class and even pleaded to stay all day! Merle's impressive skills in handling Jack and the other children in the class left me astounded. Her boundless energy and creativity knew no bounds. As an example, she taught Jack letter-sound relationships through engaging activities like singing and dancing to amusing tunes."Who Let the J’s Out?"What an amazing experience it was with the Grundy County Nanny Agency!

“In the early part of 1997, we had the pleasure of getting to know Merle when she worked as a childcare provider for our three children, who were 18 months old, 3 years old, and 6 years old at the time. Right from the start, it was clear that Merle had an exceptional ability to engage with children of all ages. Her direct yet compassionate approach allowed her to effectively oversee large groups of children, even those with different age ranges. She not only recognized each child's unique personality traits and skills, but also supported their individual development. Merle's deep affection and extensive experience with children enabled her to quickly understand each child's personality, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and implement strategies to nurture their talents. She treated every child with respect and created a nurturing environment that was embraced by all. Whenever behavioral issues arose, Merle approached them with a positive mindset, swiftly redirecting the child's attention to more suitable activities. Merle's passion for teaching was evident as she cultivated a love of learning in the children under her care. Her exceptional ability to make education enjoyable allowed her to impart new skills while the kids were having fun. She firmly believed in nurturing both the intellectual and physical development of children. As a result, our children have fond memories of baking, playing various card and board games, and mastering the art of riding a bike without training wheels - all crucial preschool experiences. Based on our family's personal experience and Merle's outstanding reputation in the area, we wholeheartedly believe that she would be a valuable addition to your family. We highly recommend her to the Grundy County Nanny Agency, confident that she will continue to inspire love and admiration in countless children, just as she has throughout her extensive career as a childcare provider.”

“Merle was truly an invaluable asset to my family, as she worked for me for 11 years through the Grundy County Nanny Agency. She played a crucial role in giving my children a head start for school. Instead of indulging in excessive TV time, Merle engaged them in various activities such as arts and crafts, educational games, outdoor adventures, and provided them with healthy snacks. In essence, she acted as their first teacher. It all began when I relocated to Illinois and started a new job as a Media Specialist in Prairie Du Rocher. At that time, my older son was just a year old, and I needed someone reliable to take care of him. That's when Merle came highly recommended as a childcare provider for him. Little did I know that our meeting would mark the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Merle took care of my older son until he completed kindergarten, and soon after, my younger son also began his journey under her guidance until he entered first grade. Except for a brief hiatus, Merle consistently nurtured and mentored my children for eleven years. Her exceptional performance and unwavering dedication kept me satisfied throughout this extended period. Merle's meticulous planning for each child under her care was truly praiseworthy. She devised thoughtful lessons, organized engaging arts and crafts sessions, curated a variety of board games and educational activities, and facilitated numerous outdoor adventures and sporting events. What amazed me the most was her ability to seamlessly cater to children of different ages simultaneously, ensuring that each one felt cherished and special. Clearly, if it weren't for the immense happiness and satisfaction I derived from Merle's exceptional performance, I would not have retained her services for such a prolonged duration. She was indeed a remarkable caregiver who went above and beyond to give my children the best possible start in life."baby-sitter"When talking about Merle, the nanny from Grundy County Nanny Agency, it was rare to see her doing any kind of sitting! The children were always engaged in various entertaining activities, never resorting to watching television. After school, when I would pick up my son, he would proudly present a painting or worksheet, a craft he had created, or even greet me in a costume after performing a play. Her games were not only fun but educational, teaching counting or phonics. Her crafts not only fostered creativity but also developed their dexterity. The children enjoyed the fresh air and exercise, thanks to her love for the outdoors. The sports and games she organized instilled sportsmanship values. Every parent who entrusted Merle with their children can attest that the hardest part was convincing their child to leave at the end of the day! From infancy to kindergarten, my sons always looked forward to going to Merle's, even during the summer once a week. Sending them to Merle's gave them a head start for kindergarten, instilling them with confidence in their abilities while allowing them to have fun. Any Grundy County Nanny Agency would be incredibly fortunate to have someone as experienced and caring as Merle on their team!”

“Merle, a respected educator and coach, held various roles at Bannockburn School Athletics and Girls' Athletics in Grundy County from 1977 to 1982. As the director of these programs, she exhibited exceptional proficiency and effectiveness in teaching skills and using appropriate methodologies. Merle's leadership in the athletic department was highly regarded. However, her impact on the lives of students in Kindergarten through eighth grade extended beyond sports. She consistently modeled healthy behavior, a positive attitude, and sportsmanship, making her a valuable role model. Known for her genuine care and respect towards her students, she was greatly appreciated by children, parents, faculty colleagues, and the administration alike.”
