Her dedication and love for her job fostered an environment where our daughter truly thrived. We were honestly delighted with every aspect of Merle's care for our little one.”

“Kalamazoo County Nanny Agency: Merle, my son's preschool teacher for two years, exceeded my expectations with her exceptional performance. I was extremely satisfied with how well she taught and connected with Jack that I decided to switch him from her half-day to her full-day program as soon as it was offered (Jack absolutely insisted on staying all day!). Merle's ability to engage and educate not only Jack but also the rest of the class was truly remarkable. She possessed an endless supply of energy and creativity, which she demonstrated through activities like singing and dancing to enjoyable tunes, helping Jack learn letter-sound relationships."Who Let the J’s Out?"What an amazing time he had with her! Merle, from the Kalamazoo County Nanny Agency, is truly exceptional in understanding the needs of children. She effortlessly recognizes when it's time for them to enjoy themselves on the playground or when it's best for them to cozy up on the rug for a captivating story or two. It is worth mentioning that Merle's ability to maintain discipline is remarkable - consistently balanced with love and firmness. Given my son's tendency for tantrums and strong-willed nature, Merle's skill in gently navigating those challenging moments was truly impressive. Her unwavering love and respect for children are evident in all her actions!”

“We first met Merle in early 1997 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 a remarkable ability to connect with children of all ages. Her no-nonsense approach allowed her to effectively manage large groups of children, even those of different ages, while still recognizing and nurturing each child's unique personality and talents. Merle's love for children and her wealth of experience enabled her to quickly understand each child's individuality, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and employ strategies that encouraged their growth. She treated every child with utmost respect, creating a nurturing atmosphere that was embraced by all. Merle handled any behavioral challenges with grace, responding promptly and redirecting the child's attention in a positive manner. She had a special talent for instilling a love of learning in the children she cared for, using creative techniques to teach new skills while making it fun and enjoyable. Merle firmly believed in the importance of both intellectual and physical education for children, and as a result, our children have fond memories of their time with her. They learned valuable skills like baking, playing various card and board games, and even riding a bicycle without training wheels, all crucial milestones during their early years. Our family's personal experience, along with Merle's outstanding reputation within the community, is a testament to the love and affection countless children have felt under her care throughout her many years as a childcare provider. We wholeheartedly believe that Merle would be a tremendous asset to your family and highly recommend her to the Kalamazoo County Nanny Agency.”

“Kalamazoo County Nanny Agency: Merle provided my children with a valuable head start in their education. Instead of watching TV, they engaged in arts and crafts, educational games, outdoor activities, and enjoyed healthy snacks. Merle served as their first teacher, nurturing their growth. I entrusted Merle with my children's care for a remarkable span of 11 years. My eldest son remained under her guidance until he entered first grade, and in that same year, my younger son began his journey with Merle until he too entered first grade. My unwavering satisfaction with her performance speaks volumes as I wouldn't have maintained such a long-standing relationship otherwise. When I first arrived in Michigan, my older son was only a year old, and I was embarking on a new role as the Media Specialist in East Grand Rapids. Merle was highly recommended to me as a childcare provider for my son, ultimately leading us to meet. Merle remained a constant presence in my older son's life until he completed kindergarten, and shortly after, my younger son followed suit until his venture into first grade. With very few exceptions, our association flourished for eleven uninterrupted years. Merle was meticulous in planning each day for the children in her care. She effortlessly incorporated lessons, arts and crafts, board games, educational games, and an array of outdoor activities and sports. Her ability to simultaneously care for different age groups and ensure every child felt cherished and valued was unparalleled."baby-sitter"When it comes to Merle, the Kalamazoo County Nanny Agency can attest that she rarely engaged in any form of sitting! The children were constantly involved in entertaining activities and never resorted to watching television. Upon collecting my son at the end of the school day, it was not uncommon for him to proudly present a painting or worksheet, a crafted creation, or even greet me in costume after a play had been performed. Her games not only imparted knowledge in counting and phonics but also nurtured dexterity and creativity through various crafts. Her deep appreciation for the outdoors ensured that they received ample fresh air and exercise. Additionally, the sports and games instilled valuable lessons in sportsmanship. Ask any parent whose child was under Merle's care, and they will affirm that the most challenging part was persuading their child to leave at the end of the day! From the earliest stages of infancy through kindergarten, my sons eagerly looked forward to going to Merle's, even during the summer once a week. This decision not only provided them with a head start for kindergarten but also instilled a sense of confidence in their ability to handle the work while having fun. Any Kalamazoo County Nanny Agency would consider themselves extremely fortunate to have someone like Merle, bringing her wealth of experience and caring personality to their team.”

“From 1977 to 1982, Merle, an exceptional educator and coach, oversaw Fife Lake School Athletics and physical education, as well as Girls' Athletics for grades five through eight. As a prominent figure in the athletic department, Merle showcased remarkable proficiency and effectiveness in her skills and methodology. However, what truly set her apart was her ability to exemplify and instill healthy, positive qualities that had a profound impact on the lives of our students from Kindergarten to eighth grade. Consistently displaying exemplary behavior, attitude, and a strong sense of sportsmanship, she served as a role model for all. Merle's genuine care and dedication were highly regarded by both children and their families, as well as her colleagues and the administration.”
