“Essex County Nanny Agency: Merle, a highly commendable teacher, played a pivotal role in my child's education. Merle, who had been my son's preschool teacher for a span of two years, displayed exceptional skills and commitment. I was thoroughly satisfied with her teaching methods that I promptly transferred Jack from her half-day program to her full-day option, at his own insistence. Merle's ability to not only engage Jack but also the other children in the class left me in awe. What struck me was her endless reserve of energy and creativity, which she showcased through various activities. One memorable instance was when Jack, accompanied by Merle, would sing and dance along to enjoyable melodies as a means of learning letter-sound relationships."Who Let the J’s Out?"The Essex County Nanny Agency truly made our experience unforgettable!

“We first met Merle in early 1997 when she began working as a childcare provider for our three children, who were then aged 18 months, 3 years, and 6 years old. Right from the start, it was clear that Merle had a unique talent for connecting with children of all ages. Her no-nonsense approach allowed her to effectively manage large groups of children, who often varied in age, while still recognizing and nurturing each child's individual personality and skills. Merle's love for and experience with children allowed her to quickly understand each child's personality, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and implement strategies to foster their development. She treated every child with respect and created a nurturing environment that was embraced by all. Merle was able to respond positively to any behavioral problems that arose and was quick to redirect the child's focus. What truly set Merle apart was her ability to teach children new skills in a creative and enjoyable manner, fostering a love of learning. Our children have wonderful memories of baking, playing various card and board games, and learning to ride a bike without training wheels under Merle's guidance. These skills are important at the preschool stage and our children are grateful for the lessons they learned from her. Our family's personal experience, along with Merle's outstanding reputation in the community, serve as a testament to the love countless children have felt for her during her many years as a childcare provider. We firmly believe that Merle would be a valuable addition to your family and without hesitation, we highly recommend her to the Essex County Nanny Agency.”

“Essex County Nanny Agency: Merle played an instrumental role in preparing my children for school in Essex County. Instead of allowing them to watch television, she engaged them in various enriching activities such as arts and crafts, educational games, outdoor adventures, and nutritious snacks. She functioned as their primary educator, shaping their early learning experiences. Merle's dedication to their development was evident throughout her 11-year tenure with our family. My oldest son benefited from her care until he entered first grade, while my younger son began his journey with Merle in the same grade. The fact that I remained committed to her services for such an extended period speaks volumes about my utmost satisfaction with her exceptional performance. Upon my arrival in Vermont, I found myself in need of reliable childcare for my one-year-old eldest, as I embarked on a new role as a Media Specialist in Sandgate. It was through recommendations that I discovered Merle, and she quickly became an integral part of our lives. From kindergarten until my son completed his first year of school, Merle nurtured his growth. Shortly thereafter, my youngest son also joined her care until he too reached first grade. With only a few transient gaps, our relationship endured for eleven continuous years. Merle diligently mapped out each day for the children under her supervision, ensuring a well-rounded experience. From structured lessons to creative arts and crafts, from board games to educational activities, she offered a diverse curriculum, tailored for each child. Additionally, she fostered outdoor exploration and encouraged participation in sports, showcasing her ability to care for children of different ages simultaneously while showering them all with love and attention."baby-sitter"When it comes to Merle from the Essex County Nanny Agency, you can expect a different kind of sitting arrangement. Rarely did she ever just sit around! The children under her care were always engaged in entertaining activities, with no time for television. At the end of each school day, when I would pick up my son, he would eagerly show me his latest masterpiece - a painting, a worksheet, or even a craft he had made. Sometimes, he would even surprise me by greeting me in a costume after putting on a play. Merle's games were not just for fun; they were educational too, often teaching counting or phonics. Her crafts weren't just about creativity but also helped develop dexterity. The children also got to enjoy the outdoors under her guidance, getting fresh air and exercise. Through sports and games, they learned important lessons in sportsmanship. Ask any parent whose child was under Merle's care, and they will tell you that convincing their children to leave at the end of the day was the hardest part! From infancy through kindergarten, my sons eagerly went to Merle's, even attending once a week during the summers. This experience gave them a head start for kindergarten, as they went to school feeling confident in their abilities and ready to have fun. Any Essex County Nanny Agency would consider themselves extremely fortunate to have someone with Merle's experience and caring personality on their team!”
