Anna R.

Anna was a dream come true for us - she was with us for six months until our son was one year old. Endlessly upbeat, enthusiastic and engaging with him, whilst also calming and never flustered. We felt extremely safe with her from day one. She cooked great meals for him, taught him all sorts of new skills and was at all times very professional. When we checked her references before hiring her we were told that she was largely responsible for previous families having well-spoken and intelligent-sounding children, which I can well believe given that she talked all the time with my son. She was very professional and we were completely confident we could trust her - on more than one occasion we asked her to house sit and look after our dog whilst we went travelling to Europe. Why on earth are we letting her go? A rare opportunity has come up to employ a native Serbian speaker, and we have to take it up since it's very important to me that he grow up learning my native language. Speaking Serbian is about the only thing Anna can't do.

Anna has been a member of our family for the past 2.5 years and we are so sad to see her move back to New York. She's been a huge help to our girls love her. Always prompt, polite and professional, but casual and comforting with the kids, she's an excellent nanny. Anna joined us when our first was an infant. She has helped her grow into a spunky 3 year old who loves to read, sing and play! I find them giggling in bed-forts, playing dress-up or working on craft projects frequently. Our second child is just 7 months and Anna picked up caring for two easily. Naps, bottles, food, changing... she's got it down. We will truly miss her but feel happy she's getting closer to her family in Brooklyn. We would highly recommend her!

Anna is wonderful! She was always on time and very focused on the my kids. She didn't resort to the tv to entertain them. My son is frequently asking when we'll see her again. My only regret is that we don't have more work for her.
