Valerie finds being a Nanny in Redmond, WA to be a very rewarding experience!

“I love working with children. I would like to stay in the childcare field. A nanny position sounds like what I am looking for. If I were asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be a Nanny in Redmond WA, it would have to be that of my love for children and being able to make a difference in the life of a family. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 25 years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are little people just looking for love and guidance from a trusting adult. My goal as a nanny is to help to teach and love the child or children in my care and be helpful to the family that I am caring for. I am willing to do housekeeping including picking up, light housework and some laundry. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives, I would say that I am caring, loving, kind, trustworthy, and honest. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include day trips outside of the home. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be good loving people.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Val for 14 years. Val is a kind, caring, and compassionate woman and I am proud to have her as a friend. Val was my primary caregiver for my son for 12 years. She always took excellent care of him. As an infant, my son had digestive issues and was a difficult sleeper. Val was wonderful with him and always made sure that he was comfortable. When he was school age, she assisted him with homework after school. Val was always reliable and dedicated to the children she cared for at all times. Val has become a dear friend and my son considers her his "second mom". I cannot say enough good things about Val. She would go beyond for the children she watched. She is well liked and held in high regard by all she meets over the years. I would give Val the highest of recommendations for any family lucky enough to have her as their Nanny in Redmond WA.”

“Valerie has expertly cared for all three of my children for an extended period of time. I began entrusting my oldest child to her care at the age of five. She subsequently provided in home care for my younger two children born a few years later. I returned to work on a part-time basis when my younger two children were approximately 8 weeks old. Valerie provided a loving, safe, and secure environment in which my children flourished. She nurtured my children as if they were her own while instructing them and actively playing with them each day. She continued my style of parenting in an expert manner. She taught them daily on how to be loving, mannerly and respectful children to each other. She was approachable always in any manner in which I needed her to be in regard to the children, which was rare. She and I were always "on the same page." My children love Valerie as someone very special in their lives. She still makes time for their special events, birthdays, and holidays to this day. She has left an indelible impression on them and has a very special place in their hearts. My husband and I would have been lost without her as our Nanny in Redmond WA. She went beyond always for our children and our family needs. My children all experienced a much richer, loving childhood as they were being raised. All of this was possible because we were lucky enough to have Valerie and her family plays such a huge role in our lives. We are forever grateful to have found such a special person.”

“I cannot say enough about Val and what she has meant to our family and our children over the past two years as our Nanny in Redmond WA. There is no one I would have trusted more to care for my 4-year-old and 8-year-old children. I have said many times to my friends and family members that she treats my children as well as if they were her own children. From the first day Val met my boys, I knew that she was a perfect fit. She is kind, friendly, and welcoming. My children felt comfortable from the start. She asked about our household rules and made sure that she ran our home the same as my husband and I would if we were home. My 4-year-old has spent the most time with Val while my older son was at school. Every day he tells me what they did, how much fun they had and that he is excited for the next day. He is sad when she leaves at the end of the day and truly loves her. Val is so much more than a caregiver to my children. She teaches my son on a daily basis. I love when he tells me something and I have no idea where it came from and he says, “Miss Val told me!" She often shows up with worksheets and crafts. She will take my son to the park when it is nice out or the library for story time and has even helped teach him to swim in our pool during the summer. When my oldest son returns from school, she sits and helps him with his homework until he is finished. She makes them a snack and Val has offered to shop and help prepare dinner for our family. Val has much strength in addition to caring for my children. She has shown tremendous reliability and has made it as easy as possible for me to have a demanding career and know she was always there to care for my boys. Val has helped take care of my household tasks on a daily basis. I came in to a clean and organized home. She often asks if there is anything else, she can do to make my days easier, which I very much appreciate. We deeply regret that we will lose Val as our nanny, but my youngest son will be attending school in September and my job has allowed me to become part time. Val will always remain a friend to our family. We will miss her very much, but we know that she will be making an impact on any other family.”

“Valerie has taken care of our family for about 8 years now. When I first set out to find a Nanny in Redmond WA for my first daughter, I asked only family and very close friends for recommendations. How she came recommended was unconventional. A family member worked at a local preschool where Valerie took one of her children she cared for to and from the school, which is where my family member observed her with the other children she had with her on the trip, and her comment to me was "she takes care of them as if they were her own. They are all polite and well mannered". We met her and fell instantly in love with her and her family! She is always courteous, professional, pleasant, a great teacher, extremely caring, and loving! She took care of our daughter when she was an infant, and when she would hold her, Val's face would light up and smile from ear to ear. She is extremely clean and neat, for I am a nurse and cleanliness is a stickler for me. Valerie is an active participant in the community, for she has taught my older daughter’s CCD at our church. She is extremely dependable! I can honestly say that over the years we have never had a scheduling problem. For the simple reason that Valerie is well organized and communicates needs in a timely manner, so rarely does something just pop up.”

“I have known Valerie for many years; we attended both grammar school and high school together and, through the years, I have come to think of her more as an extension to my family than a friend does. As a parent, I write this message remembering when I too had to entrust my children to a caregiver that was important to me. Therefore, I will try to touch on those things in describing Val. Valerie is a genuinely kind person, considerate, and nurturing. She is a positive role model, both on and off the job. She is well liked and respected by children and adults. I find her to be open-minded, non-judgmental, and trustworthy. The family who employs Valerie as a Nanny in Redmond WA will be among the lucky ones, as they will quickly recognize her warm, easy-going personality and strong sense of family values; it will not take long before they are able to rest assured their children are always properly cared for and in good, competent hands.”

“I have known Val for the last 15 years and highly recommend her for a position as a Nanny in Redmond WA. She is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. I am proud to call her one of my friends. One thing for sure is her passion for children. She loves them and all that she has cared for over the years love her!”
