Joyce enjoys being a Sammamish Governess because she loves helping children learn!

“My social and friendly nature means I have a knack of connecting with children and adults from diverse backgrounds. I also value the task of building community involvement, which I see as part of working as a nanny. Children are my passion and I have been doing this for 29 years and love what I do! I am very outgoing, loving and caring. I am a family-oriented person. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the nanny profession over any other it would have to be because I am highly skilled and a talented professional with diverse experience in planning and implementing various activities for promoting physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth for children. I’m experienced in educating children in the fundamentals of development and growth. Children are so precious, that they need all the attention and I’m here to give it to them. I enjoy their presence. Children are precious little angels that learn from us. My goal as a nanny is to love the child as if they were my own. I want the child to feel safe and secure. My goal is to teach and help the child and parent. I am able to do housekeeping such as vacuuming, washing dishes and cleaning the children’s room. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am caring and passionate. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family would depend on the age of the children. I can teach weekly lesson plans, teach ABC’s, 123s, playing at the playground, arts and crafts, etc. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Sammamish Governess like me I would hope they would be loving, caring, honest, and family oriented.”

“I consider Joyce to be one of the most studious and responsible employees at our organization. After several years, I have come to know her well and would like to recommend her as a candidate for your program. Joyce is dedicated and committed to making a difference in the lives of children and their families. She helps with our monthly community service projects and has implemented lesson plans that are geared toward educating and inspiring children. Joyce's leadership and organizational skills have been invaluable to our program. She is professional and very passionate about the children she has worked with. The three-year-old’s have learned so much under Joyce's time at our school. In my opinion, Joyce's unwavering devotion to our school exemplifies strong moral fiber and character. She is a trustworthy individual and would be an excellent Sammamish Governess for your family.”

“Joyce has worked as a toddler teacher at our daycare. Joyce was responsible for classroom management, implementing curriculum-based lesson plans, and creating bulletin boards based off of the creativity of child art. Joyce is excellent at communicating with families about the needs of her students. She works well with others and makes sure that once a job is started it is completed with excellence. Joyce is well organized and keeps a clean working area. She is also flexible and highly cooperative. Joyce would be a wonderful Sammamish Governess and has my highest recommendation.”

“Joyce has taught and cared for my younger son since he was in her toddler classroom at the daycare. I have been lucky because Joyce and my son have transitioned together into their current "2-year-old" classroom. Joyce is a warm, loving and caring person who I trust completely in the care of my son. She will be an excellent Sammamish Governess. She is always there to greet us when I drop off my sons and is such a natural caregiver with all the children (and parents) in her class. I always have so much confidence in how she cares for all the children in her classroom. Joyce is a constant professional, and if there have ever been personal issues occurring, I have never known or been aware. From the moment she walks into the day care, she emits a warm and happy glow. It is very apparent how much love she has for the children in her care. My son, who began as a slow learner, has learned so much by being in her classroom. While in the care of Joyce, my son has really begun to absorb what she has been teaching and has blossomed as a little student. As much as all the teachers that have taught and lovingly cared for both my sons at the daycare, Joyce has always been a step above all the rest of them. As such, I highly recommend Joyce! She would be a tremendous asset to your family, and a great benefit to the children.”

“Joyce, as she is lovingly referred to by two-year old, was my son's teacher at daycare for over year. In that time, my son grew extremely fond of Joyce. How could he not? She showers her students with love, attention and affection, yet ensures the children in her care understand respect for rules and the importance of routines. Joyce is dedicated to her job and to her students and would be an asset to any preschool or center. Joyce is a seasoned and experienced teacher. She is highly professional and easily recognizes a child's needs, both academic and emotional. When my son was part of her class, it was clear every day how much he was learning. From his colors, to nursery rhymes, a love of books, and how to stand patiently in line; my son blossomed while a part of Joyce's very special classroom. He learned to put things in their place, to sit and listen to a book, to share, and to eat at table like a "big boy." If only Joyce's class could go on and on! Joyce's giant hugs, good-bye kisses and high fives are still something my son seeks out daily, despite having transitioned from her classroom two months ago. Joyce is also an excellent communicator who makes sure the parents of her students are always informed. Any concern I had was always addressed professionally and promptly. She was quick to offer wise advice in the gentlest of ways when I showed concern over a new behavior my son developed. Her notes home each day were always packed with useful information, and I so appreciated knowing exactly how my son spent his day. The children both love and respect Joyce. She keeps a clean and organized classroom and her students are always under control. The atmosphere is fun and exciting, never dull or sullen, and her enthusiasm for her job shines through readily. Joyce's love for her profession is evident in everything she does. She will be an amazing Sammamish Governess. She cares deeply about each and every child's education and emotional well¬being.”

“Joyce has been my daughter's Sammamish Governess for almost a year. My daughter has separation anxiety; but Joyce helped her overcome this anxiety through patience and her loving demeanor. Joyce has always demonstrated professionalism, patience, enthusiasm and dedication to the well-being of the children in her care. She made my daughter feel safe each day, which made me feel comfortable in my decision to leave my daughter in her care. Joyce greets the parents and children with a hug and smile each day; she is an absolute joy. Joyce would be a welcomed addition to any family and the children would fall in love with her instantly, just as my daughter did.”

“I would highly recommend Joyce for a position as a Sammamish Governess. Joyce is very thorough, efficient, competent and most professional in dealings with the children and their families as well as the staff with whom she worked. Her sincere compassion for the children and their families were exemplified daily. She has the necessary cognitive, analytical and applied skills to make good decisions.”
