Working with Hetty was an absolute dream! She was wonderful with our three year old son, very kind, respectful, patient and understanding. She handled his big feelings with grace and compassion and never took his was personally. He absolutely adored her and she was like family for the year we had her as our nanny. We were very fortunate to have her in our lives!
