Adama loves being a professional Sammamish Nanny!

“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 genuinely love children and helping in their developmental growth. I have been serving in some form of childcare for over 20 years and can honestly say I adore what I do! I feel that children are precious and should be nurtured accordingly to help them reach their goals and become successful adults. I am willing to do housekeeping including anything pertaining to the children. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include trips to the park, music activities, reading, arts and crafts, as well as any other activities that the children enjoy, and parents encourage. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Sammamish Nanny like me I would hope they would be caring, understanding, trusting, and appreciate open communication as I do.”

“My husband and I have known Adama for over 11 years. During that time, Adama has cared for our three children (until we moved to Canada, otherwise she would have continued with us). She joined us very soon after our daughter was born and stayed with us as our family grew with the addition of two boys. Over the period we’ve known her, Adama has been as a much a part of our family as an employee. Our children adored her. She is patient, kind, fun, and trustworthy. We never doubted that the safety and general welfare of our children were always her highest priority. Although she is especially good with younger children, our oldest also continued to enjoy and count on Adama in a number of ways. Leaving her behind was one of the more difficult adjustments for our children in the move. Adama was the best Sammamish Nanny we could have asked for and the next family who hires her will be lucky to have her!”

“When Adama first began working with us my daughter was 10 weeks old and my son was three years old (attending pre-school until 2:45 PM each day). We would love to be working with Adama today, however we moved farther away, and the distance became too great. Adama embodies all of the characteristics that infants, toddlers and children deserve. She is a fun, energetic, intelligent, creative, incredibly loving, respectful and reliable Sammamish Nanny. We strongly believe that Adama taught our children by being a good example of each of these qualities. Adama is also bright and affectionate. She is well versed in child development due to her working closely with many children through the years. Adama has a natural affinity toward children. She related to our son perfectly, turning practically everything into a fun game. Our son could be difficult and does not like change, but Adama knew how to interact with him and make things more fun. With our newborn, Adama was amazing. My daughter would not take a bottle from anyone (not her father, her grandmother, etc., she would only breastfeed from me). Adama assured me that she would take the bottle from her and the first day she did! I could not believe it and my stress level went way down as I was returning to work the following week. Adama pureed wonderful food for our daughter as well! She would mix vegetables with fruit, so the food would taste nice and sweet. Adama was an inspiration to me, as I bought a cookbook and would puree food for my daughter too. Adama has boundless energy. She is a good role model and leads an active lifestyle. For example, she walked with our children to the park, danced with them, and the three of them took the bus all around the city. Adama is incredibly friendly and social, and created a wonderful community of friends for our children through meet-ups at the Science Center and local parks. She often scheduled and hosted play dates (in our apartment building's community play room) with the other children and nannies in our neighborhood. Adama's influence on our children has been great and we owe her our never-ending gratitude. Our children are polite, curious and get along well with others. Adama, at our request, spoke mostly French to our children. Both children are very articulate and could understand French thanks to her skilled teaching. We felt fortunate to have Adama in our home. She is such a positive, happy person; her infectious personality rubbed off on all of us. I was truly happier when she was around. We are convinced we owe much of our children's positive development and attitude to her presence. We knew our children loved Adama because of the hugs, kisses and giggles we saw and heard them share daily when they were together and when they would part. Adama takes initiative in her play/teaching and taught both our children numerous lessons such as shapes, colors, puzzles, the alphabet, counting, getting dressed, etc. She respected our personal philosophies while being confident enough to independently make day-to-day decisions regarding our children. We cannot overstate our endorsement of Adama. It is impossible to express in words how much we enjoyed Adama's care for our children. My husband and I were in the same position you are in right now, interviewing people to care for our children, wanting the best person to be with our children when you can't be there and wanting the right person to instill all the values you believe while having fun, protecting and teaching your child when you're not available. I recommend her without reservation and know that she will be an asset to the next family she works for.”
