Diane V.

She is kind, patient and worked very well with my 3, very lively, kids (1, 5, and 6). She was a routine sitter for my toddler for over 6 months, 2-3 days of a week, and she interacted with my daughter naturally. Extremley reliable and highly recommended.

If you're looking for Mary Poppins, your search is over! Ms. Diane was everything we could have hoped for in a nanny and more. My family and I were very blessed to have Diane as our full time nanny from June 2012 to February 2014. She cared for my two children ages 6 and 3. I highly recommend her for any future nanny or child care worker position. She has an easy going personality. She is well-mannered, well-composed, and very nurturing. She is very flexible and dependable. I could always count on her to care for my children despite any last minute schedule changes. Besides providing excellent child care for my children, I depended on her greatly to bring my daughter to and from school and my children's extracurricular activities (ballet & gymnastics). She also ensured that my children always ate healthy snacks/meals. Her flexible schedule availability also enabled my husband and I to have time for date nights. While we do not need her services at this time (as we have moved overseas), we consider Ms. Diane to be a member of our family. We love and adore her. My children were very distraught upon our departure and kept asking, "Why do we have to leave Ms. Diane?" They constantly reminisce about the wonderful times spent and the many adventures they had with Ms. Diane. We truly miss her and hope to have her back upon our return (So don't get too attached!).

Diane watched my 10 month old twin girls for a week when I had to leave town on a VERY(less then 24 hours!) short notice. I had never left my girls in the care of anyone that long, and had never been so far away from them. Diane did very well dealing with the multiple calls from me asking how every little thing was going! I was shocked when my girls were peacefully sleeping through the night when I returned. I missed them, but thankfully, the did not seem to miss me at all, they were far too busy having fun!

Diane has worked both as a part-time nanny and as a babysitter for my family, and I highly recommend her. She is very experienced, caring and professional. I always feel confident that my children are happy and safe in her care. She is always on time and has great attention to detail -- e.g., ensuring that the children are eating proper meals, ensuring that the house is in good shape when I get home, and my children have a wonderful time with her.

I highly recommend Diane!! To start off, she was right on time for our interview - she has a wealth of experience with children of all ages and walking into situations and figuring it out. She provided us with full-time nanny support for two weeks while our regular nanny was on vacation. She arrived early every morning, made the kids breakfast (cooked eggs, somehow got my toddler son to eat eggs - and he's really picky!!), put the kids down for naps, played with the kids, and by the end my son was following her around! I have a 22 month old son and an 8 month old daughter, so its a hard combination!! She did amazing. She even offered to do the kids laundry - I was in heavan. I highly recommend Diane, we will absolutely use her again. Her hours are very flexible and accomodating (part of the time, I was out of town and she was a tremendous help to my husband!)... feel free to contact me if you would like additional information: krisser8@yahoo.com
