ABC's Redmond Nanny Agency loves Marcella!

“I have worked in the classroom and have also been a private child care provider for over 5 years. I can honestly say I love what I do! I also enjoy writing stories and have published a children’s book. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be with a Redmond Nanny Agency, it would have to be because I enjoy working one-on-one with children. I feel the children are honest and innocent and need to be nurtured. My goal as a nanny is to give the best care I can to children, and if the parents like, bring the classroom experience to them in the comfort of their homes. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes cooking meals and doing laundry for the children. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am loving, patient, kind, gentle and understanding. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include reading, art, music and movement. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be kind and respectful.”

“I have known Marcella for 14 years and highly recommend her to your Redmond Nanny Agency. We began our friendship as coworkers at an early education center. I found Marcella to be a caring, compassionate and supportive teacher. She was a wonderful partner teacher and helped in every aspect of the classroom from lesson planning, classroom management, to maintaining a fantastic relationship with the students. On a personal level, Marcella and I have stayed close all of these years because of how she invests in the lives of the people around her. She has taken care of my children and watched them grow from small children to young adults. She has always loved them and nurtured them as if they were her own. She is an incredibly devoted friend and instills love and compassion wherever she goes. She is probably the hardest working person I know that she has overcome many hardships and struggles yet has never complained once about them. She has the utmost respect for children and adults. My children love her dearly. She is one of the kindest, most compassionate people that I have ever met, and I have not ever seen her raise her voice nor speak negatively to any child she has come in contact with. Marcella has a gentle demeanor that goes beyond words in a letter. She is an amazing person and anyone who meets her is definitely a better person for having done so.”

“As part of a nanny share, Marcella took care of our daughter since she was 3 months old. It was one of the great fortunes of our first two years as parents that we found Marcella and chose to hire her through the Redmond Nanny Agency. Without reservation, we are thrilled to recommend her for any childcare position. Throughout her tenure, Marcella proved time and ageing that she was utterly trustworthy, hardworking, conscientious, and loving. She went well beyond simply caring for our daughter and partnered family’s son. She welcomed the opportunity to help them develop and learn. All too often during the course of Marcella’s tenure, we would begin to teach our daughter something like counting to ten, singing the alphabet song, or opening a zipper, only to find that she had already mastered the skill. Marcella did that without prompting, and much to our delight. Our daughter’s time with Marcella wasn’t spent simply staying out of trouble; it was time spent developing with someone seasoned and eager to help her mature. There are two additional things that any prospective employer should know. First, Marcella was very active in working to socialize the children. She took them out of the house and made sure to introduce them to the children throughout the neighborhood. Marcella had a very natural way of interacting with our daughter and the other child, even when they were being difficult. She really enjoyed them and wasn’t taken aback when they fussed or complained. Both of our children were first-born children, and so neither had any experience at home learning to share or interact with other children. Having spent nearly two years with Marcella, they’ve both developed a sophisticated capacity to relate that is almost surely of Marcella’s doing. Whatever Redmond Nanny Agency that has the privilege of hiring her next will be rewarded by her hard work and experience. We wish her nothing but the best.”

“Marcella has been our nanny for almost two years, and she is the best. She watches our son and another child (a girl about the same age) as part of a nanny share. Marcella has been the nanny to both children since they were infants and has helped them grow into the amazing toddlers they have become today! It is clear that Marcella loves our son very much, and that he loves her too. He would literally light up and go running to her when she arrived every morning. I always knew that he was in good and safe hands when with her. Marcella also devoted much time and attention to helping the children learn and grow. She constantly was reading and singing to them, and teaching them new skills (i.e., counting, the alphabet, vocabulary). She has brought several of her own educational tools and projects into our home, all of which have been huge hits with the children. Thanks in large part to Marcella, both of our children are very advanced cognitively; far ahead of many their same age. As first-time parents, it was very important to us that we have open communication with our nanny. Marcella always has been wonderful in this regard as well. She kept me constantly updated about our son's progress and called me about any issues that came up throughout the day. She has cared for my son when he has been sick and when he has been upset. In addition, she has taken care to diligently implement any transitions or new protocols that have come up along the way. Marcella has been very flexible and accommodating to our sometimes-erratic work schedules. She has been willing and able to work overtime and even spend the night at our house when necessary. In all respects, Marcella has been a true professional and a loving caregiver, which is a rare and special combination. In sum, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Marcella. We adore her and trust her completely. I was often told by other parents from our neighborhood (who knew Marcella from the local parks and classes that she attended with our son) that she is incredible with our children when we are not around to see, and how lucky we are to have had her as part of our family for the past two years. We couldn't agree more! We give her are best regards and highest recommendation. She will be an asset to any Redmond Nanny Agency who hires her in the future.”
