Karla loves being a Tacoma Personal Assistant because she adores children!

“In every job that must be done there is an element of fun! I am your modern day Mary Poppins! I have worked with children from Newborn through school age and I enjoyed every minute of it. I understand and recognize the need for individualized child care in a fast pace society where parent(s) are working out of the home. I’m also a college graduate with over nine years of experience in the higher education field. I have also worked as an Adjunct and Test Prep Instructor, and a professional Writing Consultant for Nursing Students at an Institute of Higher Education. I have developed a personalized curriculum, appropriate for different grade levels, to ensure that children are continually progressing through each developmental stage. I’ve never favored a particular age group over others. I make sure that I have each day planned out based on their needs, personalities and skill levels. I would love the opportunity to become a part of your family for an extended period of time. I am seeking a family where I can be a part of their children’s educational and personal growth. The reason I have chosen to be a Tacoma Personal Assistant over any other profession is because as a nanny I have the opportunity to shape and influence another’s life and ultimately establish lifelong habits, such as manners and organizational skills that will aid them in succeeding as adults. Moreover, I enjoy helping parents by providing a necessary service that allows them to focus on their jobs and other duties; while being comforted that their children are safe and happy at home. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 9 years and can honestly say I love what I do! My goal as a Nanny is to provide a safe and loving atmosphere for the children that are in my care. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes laundry, dishes, and cleaning of the children’s play space. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am knowledgeable, professional, balanced, devoted, and consistent. The perfect family seeking a Nanny like me would be warm, inviting, fun, and open to seeing me as an extension to their family.”

“Natalia has provided child care and tutoring services for my three children. Natalia has demonstrated great professionalism, patience, and creativity. Natalia is extremely professional. She is able to manage my children’s activities, interests, and unique needs. Best of all, she encourages my children to be independent. She utilizes a variety of strategies to help my children stay engaged and motivated. For example, she has designed art projects, directed original plays, and even prepared meals with my children. Furthermore, Natalia communicates well. This is extremely important when managing three children, homework assignments, meals and other household responsibilities. Natalia always keeps me abreast of my children’s activities and interactions, whether it is an email, text message, or handwritten letter. Finally, my children genuinely enjoy spending time with Natalia. She consistently displays patience and interest in each one of my children. This is especially important with my eldest son, who Natalia provided homework help to regularly. Her dedication to my children’s success, sensibility, and professionalism makes me confident in recommending her for any position as a Tacoma Personal Assistant.”

“In the eight years I've known Natalia, she has truly become a part of our family. She began watching my two younger sisters, Hypatia and Brielle, and I when I was only 13 years old- I am now 21. She has been a staple at our house ever since, taking us to school and picking us up after school. After school some of Natalia’s duties included helping us with homework, projects, test prep, tutoring, and cooking dinner. Natalia's greatest strength as a Tacoma Personal Assistant is her passion for education and ability to break down concepts to the lowest level possible to make information more accessible. Another one of her strengths is her love and passion for whatever task is at hand. My family often would entertain groups of 10 or more children and Natalia would supervise and facilitate these play dates, as well as serve dinner. I witnessed her devotion to providing full attention to each child and gave each what he or she individually needed. But don't mistake her careful attentiveness as an inability to juggle tasks; I've seen her helping Hypatia with her English homework while cooking dinner for Brielle and I, and doing laundry. I am confident that Natalia is more than ready for the challenge ahead. She conducts herself professionally, respects confidentiality, and is able to connect with children of all ages. We were so saddened to lose Natalia-she is irreplaceable! I sincerely hope that you are quick to give her a position, as her warmth, attentive care, and inviting personality will be sure to endear her to you and your family.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Natalia as her supervisor in the position of Standardized Test Prep Coordinator at a college. Natalia served as the English and verbal co-coordinator, creating curricula for ACT, GMAT, GRE, SAT, and TEAS programs. The success of these aspects of the program can be solely credited to her diligence and dedicated efforts. During the course that I have worked with Natalia, she has shown a high level of motivation, in addition to the ability to work well either independently or in a collaborative environment. She has also displayed exceptional leadership skills, serving as a resource and mentor to other members of the test prep staff. Natalia brings excellent judgement, dependability and a mature outlook to any task she undertakes. Natalia will be a valuable asset to any family she commits to. Her dedication to seeing any and all programs she has been assigned to have shown her to be a true leader in the test prep program. It is with the utmost confidence that I offer my recommendation for Natalia as a Tacoma Personal Assistant.”

“I am writing to absolutely recommend Natalia for a Tacoma Personal Assistant position. I have come to know Natalia on both a professional and personal level. She holds two positions as a Test Prep Instructor and a Writing Consultant. She also holds two other positions with the Nursing Department, as the only Embedded Nursing Tutor for the Research Labs and as an Adjunct Instructor for Geographies of Experience, for first year freshman. I have watched her work endlessly simply because she is genuinely passionate to help the students. She is one of the most dedicated and most passionate people I have encountered, and anyone who meets Natalia would agree. Natalia constantly strives to achieve and then surpasses any goals set and works as a morale booster for the rest of the team if things aren't going as well as planned. I have always noticed that Natalia is up for anything, and never complains about the work set before her. I have been proud to know Natalia, and while I am saddened by the news of her desires to pursue a career as a Tacoma Personal Assistant, I know you will be happy to have her as part of your family.”

“It is with great pleasure that I am writing this recommendation letter for Natalia Vazquez-Bodkin. I have had the delight of knowing Natalia for a number of years and have learned that she is a caring, thoughtful, attentive, and a determined young woman. Natalia is an extremely kind individual and brings joy to everyone she encounters. In addition to this, she is organized, punctual, and tremendously considerate of others. Natalia is a very compassionate person, and her warm personality invites easy connections with everyone; especially children. She has an abundance of expertise working with children of all ages and various abilities. Natalia has also played an invaluable role in raising her younger sister. Natalia has developed all of the necessary skills that are essential for working in the child care profession. The knowledge that she has gained through life experiences are priceless for her future work as a Tacoma Personal Assistant. Natalia excels in everything she does because she has an unwavering will to succeed. She is a natural born leader I wholeheartedly recommend Natalia to your family. She has the potential and knowledge to excel in this position. I believe she will become a valuable member to your family if you choose to hire her in the near future.”
