Gaithersburg Nanny Heather's References

“During the fall semester of 2010, I had the pleasure of supervising Heather as she completed her student teaching internship experience in a self-contained class for students. I had previously gotten to know Heather's in graduate classes which I taught, so I knew that her work ethic and interest level was high before I had the opportunity to see her work with students. From the first day to the last, Heather presented herself in an exemplary professional manner. Heather has wonderful interpersonal communication skills and demonstrated the ability to interact appropriately, stay organized and on top of her paperwork, remain open to challenges and reflect about her own skills. Heather has a wonderful teaching presence, is an enthusiastic teacher, and consistently communicated the goals and objectives at the beginning of each lesson, used a step-by-step logical process in her instructional delivery and ensured the active engagement of all students through her questioning techniques. Heather reminded her students of the reason for the activity/lesson as the lesson progressed and gave ample opportunities for questions to help them understand her lessons. She obtained prior knowledge at the beginning of her lessons and provided closure with a review at the end of each lesson. She encouraged students' efforts and provided cues so they felt that they are correct when they were on the right track. Heather was consistently thorough in her preparation, setting measurable objectives to match PA Curriculum Standards, students' needs and IEP goals. She planned her lessons in advance so that she had time to reflect on them and make changes prior to implementing them. Heather possessed a strong grasp of the content so that she could easily modify her lessons on the spot and she was consistently creative, using appropriate adaptations, hands on learning materials and review and reinforcement techniques with her students to ensure that their learning styles and needs were met. Heather broadened her understanding of assessment during this experience by varying her evaluation methods to include rubrics, checklists, games, projects and student performances. Heather provided a safe, nurturing learning environment for her students and was sensitive to the need for equitable learning opportunities for each of her students. She had a wonderful rapport with the students and appropriate expectations for their progress. Her classroom consistently ran smoothly and her paraprofessionals helped to ensure this because Heather learned to tell them what was expected of them regarding on task behavior between them and her students. Heather helped her students to make smooth transitions from one activity to the next. Clearly, she liked these students and they liked her. Her extensive planning and preparation no doubt prevented a lot of behavior problems. Heather used positive reinforcement for appropriate choices, effort and achievement, which was a great fit for students in this classroom. Heather was a pleasure to work with because she demonstrated the professionalism, a cooperative spirit and desire to excel as an educator. Her growth during this process was significant and showed me that she would succeed in any educational setting. Heather will be an asset to any district having a diverse group of students because she understands the merits of patience, creativity, hard work and positive thinking. All of the qualities that made her a fantastic teacher will make her an even better nanny! I would advise any parent who is looking for an innovative nanny to hire Heather. She would be perfect for all Gaithersburg Nanny Jobs!”

“Over the past 3 years, I have had the honor of working with Heather. I also had the pleasure of mentoring her, although I learned more from her than I could have possibly taught her. Heather has the skills, dedication, and knowledge needed to be a successful teacher or nanny. Her experiences are evident when observing her within the classroom or reading her self-created curricular materials. The cornerstone of her teaching success is the combination of her classroom management, curriculum design, and involvement within the school community. In the area of classroom management, Heather is amazing. Her students' appropriate behaviors are reinforced while inappropriate ones are handled with the least disruptions possible. Heather has a consistent classroom routine that arranges highly preferred activities after less preferred ones. Her classroom rules are clear and positive. Like her classroom management, Heather’s curriculum is also astonishing. Her students each have their own curriculum, developed by Heather. These individualized curriculums are designed to meet each of her students' IEP goals. All of her self-created educational materials contain clearly written and user-friendly instructions for implementation by classroom aides and substitutes. In addition to being a great teacher, Heather is a valuable member of our school community. Everyone knows that Heather is always willing to be of assistance. As a psychologist, I utilize her knowledge when developing behavior programs for my clients. She also is continually volunteering to be a mentor for new teachers. Due to her abilities and commitment, Heather will be an indispensable member to any educational facility. She is the best fit for any and all Gaithersburg Nanny Jobs! She would also use all of her skills and techniques to be the best nanny that she can be!”

“Heather has cared for my son, Declan, with Down syndrome from May 2006 until 2009. Her responsibilities for him were physical and academic. On school days she helped Declan with his homework and school projects. After school work was completed she got him involved in a physical activity, then he needed guidance with his personal hygiene. She has a wonderful rapport with Declan and still continues contact with him and our family. He looks forward to spending time with her. When we were away without our children, Heather took responsibility for Declan and our four other children. She is a caring, thoughtful, respectful, honest, fun and appropriate with children. Heather is always accountable to arrive on time. If there were any schedule change she gave you ample notice and was flexible with our scheduling needs. Heather has been a pleasure to work with and an asset to our family. She is a well-rounded individual who has an unique way of relating to children. I highly recommend her for all Gaithersburg Nanny Jobs!”

“Heather has completed the Master of Education program leading to eligibility for certification in Elementary and Special Education. This challenging program requires coursework in disciplines and a student / intern teaching experience with students with individual education plans. Heather completed a supervised intern teaching experience, a program which serves students with significant levels of emotional, behavior, intellectual and learning problems. Heather was a student in graduate special education classes which I taught and I found her to be an engaged student who integrated her background experience with her classroom learning. Heather has a delightful, outgoing personality that will be an additional asset to any family seeking a nanny. I believe she will be an effective nanny and a valuable contributor to any parenting team! She is the best fit for all Gaithersburg Nanny Jobs!”

“Heather fulfilled all of my requirements. I am a single mother of a four year old and any time I need a babysitter Heather is always there to help. If I need her during meal times she is capable of preparing James' meals. She is great with my son, James. They play together, read books and stay active the whole time they are together. Heather is most like Fran Drescher I believe because they both have a great personality. They are both outgoing, love talking to people and great with children! Heather has a very cheerful disposition and is a great communicator, which makes her a pleasure to be around! My experience with Heather has been great! I use her occasionally when I need childcare and she is always ready to go! I am a single mother; I work and go to school full time so she is a big help to me when I need another hand! I definitely recommend her highly to any family offering Gaithersburg Nanny Jobs!”

“She is perfect for your Gaithersburg Nanny Jobs! She spends about 1 entire day at my house while I do errands. I have a 8 month old and a 3 year old and they require a lot of work. Heather is always very considerate with my children’s schedule. I always feel comfortable leaving me kids with her. I feel Fran is very responsible but enjoys her time with the kids. My kids look forward to Heather playing with them! I have enjoyed and feel very safe with Heather watching my children. I have never had anyone besides family and Heather baby-sit. I believe Heather would make a wonderful babysitter to children of all ages. Some people are meant to be around children all the time, Heather is one of them!”
