She demonstrated exemplary performance throughout her time as my son's preschool teacher for two years. I was immensely satisfied with her abilities, and it was thanks to her impressive track record that I decided to transition Jack from her half-day program to her full-day program as soon as it became available. (Jack himself pleaded to stay all day!) I was simply amazed by Merle's expertise in handling Jack and the other young children in her class. Her boundless energy and creativity were truly remarkable. As an example, she imparted letter-sound relationships to Jack through delightful tunes, which they sang and danced along with."Who Let the J’s Out?"The Hampden County Nanny Agency was truly a delight to work with!

“Hampden 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 experiences, and enjoyed healthy snacks. Merle, the nanny who worked with us for 11 years, served as their first teacher. Merle took care of my first son until he entered first grade, and his younger brother began his journey with her during the same year until he too started first grade. I would not have remained with someone for such an extensive period if I was not exceptionally pleased with her performance. When I first arrived in Massachusetts, my older son was just a year old, and I started a new job as a Media Specialist in Millbury. I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for Merle as a childcare provider, and that is how we initially crossed paths. Merle looked after my older son until he completed kindergarten, and subsequently, my younger son joined her care until he entered first grade. With the exception of a few months, our relationship extended continuously for eleven years. Merle was exceptional in planning the days for each child under her care. She not only provided lessons, but also organized arts and crafts projects, board games, educational games, and engaged them in numerous outdoor activities and sports. Merle possessed the ability to care for children of different ages simultaneously while making each one feel loved and special!"baby-sitter"When it comes to Merle, the Hampden County Nanny Agency is incredibly fortunate. Rarely did she ever engage in traditional babysitting. Instead, she would provide the children with a myriad of entertaining activities, ensuring that they never had to resort to watching television. Pickup times were always delightful surprises, as my son would present me with paintings, worksheets, or even greet me in costume after putting on a play. Counting and phonics were cleverly incorporated into her games, while her crafts fostered both creativity and dexterity. With her love for the outdoors, the children enjoyed the benefits of fresh air and exercise. Not to mention, the sports and games she organized taught valuable lessons in sportsmanship. Parents of children under Merle's watch will unanimously agree that the hardest part was convincing their little ones to leave at the end of the day! From infancy through kindergarten, my sons eagerly attended Merle's, even during the summer months. Thanks to her guidance, they entered school with confidence, excelling academically while having fun. Any Hampden County Nanny Agency would be extremely fortunate to have someone like Merle, with her unparalleled experience and nurturing personality in their team.”
