“at the Thomas County Nanny Agency, Merle was an outstanding teacher for my child! She had been my son's preschool teacher for a span of two years. I was beyond satisfied with her exceptional performance that I immediately transferred Jack from her half-day program to her full-day program, following its availability. (Jack enthusiastically requested to stay all day!) Merle's aptitude in handling Jack and the rest of the young students in the class left me in awe. Her boundless energy and imagination were truly impressive. One example of her innovative teaching methods was using enjoyable songs like singing and dancing along with Merle to learn letter-sound relationships."Who Let the J’s Out?"The Thomas County Nanny Agency truly delivered an amazing experience!

“During the early months of 1997, we had the pleasure of getting to know Merle through her role as a caregiver for our three children in Thomas County. At that time, our kids were 18 months old, 3 years old, and 6 years old. Right from the start, Merle's remarkable ability to connect with children of all ages was evident. Her effective approach allowed her to efficiently oversee large groups of children, including those of different age groups. She truly recognized and nurtured the unique personalities and abilities of each child. Merle's genuine love for children and extensive experience enabled her to quickly assess the individual traits and areas of growth for each child. She would then devise strategies to promote the development of their strengths. Treating every child with utmost respect, Merle fostered a nurturing environment that positively influenced all the children under her care. Whenever behavioral issues arose, she would handle them with a redirecting approach, effectively guiding the children towards more positive activities. Merle excelled at instilling a love for learning in children, using her remarkable ability to creatively teach new skills while ensuring that they had fun.

They fondly recall the days spent with Merle, where they not only learned important preschool skills like baking, playing card and board games, and riding a bicycle without training wheels, but also enjoyed the process.

“Merle, from the Thomas County Nanny Agency, played a vital role in my children's early education. Instead of allowing them to watch TV, she engaged them in arts and crafts, educational games, outdoor activities, and provided healthy snacks. Essentially, she served as their first teacher. Merle's dedication to her job lasted for an impressive 11 years. She began caring for my eldest son in his infancy, and he remained under her watchful eye until he entered first grade. Around the same time, my younger son also began his journey with Merle, continuing until he reached first grade as well. The fact that I remained with her for such an extended period speaks volumes about my satisfaction with her exceptional performance. When I moved to Kansas and began my new position as a Media Specialist in Whitewater, Merle was highly recommended to me as a dependable childcare provider for my one-year-old son. Our initial meeting marked the beginning of a continuous relationship that spanned over a decade. Merle always had a well-organized plan for each day, ensuring that each child received individualized attention and developmentally appropriate activities. She not only provided various lessons, arts and crafts, board games, and educational games but also encouraged outdoor play and sports. Her ability to care for children of different ages with equal love and attention made my children feel special and cherished."baby-sitter"When it comes to Merle, I must say that she was not your typical nanny at Thomas County Nanny Agency. Sitting idle was a rarity for her as she always had a multitude of entertaining activities planned for the children in her care. It was refreshing to see that they never spent their time glued to the television. Instead, my son would eagerly show me his latest masterpiece or worksheet, proudly display a craft he had crafted, and sometimes even greet me in costume after putting on an adorable play. Merle's games were not only enjoyable, but also educational, teaching important skills like counting and phonics. The crafts she organized helped nurture their dexterity and creativity as well. Additionally, her love for the outdoors ensured that the children got plenty of fresh air and exercise. The sports and games she introduced to them also instilled values of sportsmanship. I can say with confidence that every parent whose child was under Merle's care would agree that the most difficult part of the day was convincing their child to leave! From the earliest stages of infancy through their kindergarten years, my sons not only enjoyed their time at Merle's, but also gained an advantage when it came to starting school. They approached kindergarten with confidence, knowing they were capable of handling the work and having fun at the same time. Any Thomas County Nanny Agency would consider themselves incredibly fortunate to have someone as experienced and caring as Merle on their team.”

Throughout her tenure, Merle showcased exceptional teaching and coaching abilities, which made her a prominent figure in the athletic department. Moreover, she embodied a positive and health-conscious persona that significantly impacted the lives of students ranging from Kindergarten through eighth grade. Merle consistently demonstrated exemplary behavior, attitude, and a strong sense of sportsmanship, serving as a role model for all. Her nurturing coaching style earned her the respect and gratitude of students, parents, fellow faculty members, and the administration.”
