Silvia has been an invaluable part of our family for the past 2.5 years, providing exceptional care to our daughter since she was just three months old. She was an angel to us as first-time parents, helping with sleep training, baby led weaning, hitting growth milestones and overall parenting. She has always been professional, reliable, extremely hardworking, trustworthy and a team player- helping wherever she can. As our daughter grew, she has played a pivotal role in teaching our daughter letters, colors, counting, potty training, sight words, spelling, and manners. Her patience, nurturing nature, and disciplined approach have fostered a positive learning environment that our daughter thrives in. She has seamlessly integrated into our family dynamic, becoming more than just a nanny but a cherished member of our household. Our daughter has become a third daughter to her. It is with great sadness that we must part ways with Silvia as we are moving out of state. However, we are confident that she will continue to positively impact the lives of children wherever she goes.

Silvia has been our daughter's nanny from birth until 2 years old. I cannot say enough about what a positive impact Silvia has had on our daughter. Each day is filled with a new activity--painting, coloring, flashcards, play-dough, tea parties, singing, dancing, trips to the park, long walks, etc. Before the age of 2, our daughter was saying her full ABC's, counting to 15, and knows all of her colors because Silvia consistently works with her on this. Silvia does it all! She is a very hands-on nanny who is never late, rarely uses her phone, and consistently ensures the safety of our daughter while offering a very nurturing and loving environment. Silvia always leaves our home clean and tidy, and our daughter's room in perfect condition. There's never a piece of laundry in her basket! Silvia also helps me manage our supply of grocery items and baby essentials by keeping lists when items are running low. If you are in need of a nanny for your baby or young child, I highly recommend Silvia! Our family needs have changed and we now require a nanny who can drive, otherwise we would have tried to hold on to Silvia for many years.

Silvia is a wonderful and loving nanny that any family would be absolutely lucky to have as their caregiver. She has taken care of our daughter for the last over 3 years since the age of 3 months. She is extremely reliable, trustworthy, nurturing and responsible. She is great at providing diverse activities for young ones that include: walks outside, trips to the park, playdates, reading, crafts and teaching of numbers, letters, words, etc. She held 'school time' each day utilizing the Montessori method w/flashcards. She is also a wiz at potty training. She cooks delicious and healthy meals, makes sure the house is tidy and does the child's laundry. Importantly, we always knew that our daughter would be safe with Silvia. She is fantastic and we highly recommend!

Silvia is a wonderful Nanny! She has been with us just shy of 2 years and has built a loving relationship with my son and a trusting relationship with our family. She has placed strong importance on helping our son learn, implementing time each day for reading, arts and crafts, letters, numbers, shapes and other educational activities. She makes this time fun and exciting! She takes advantage of things to do in the neighborhood like weekly trips to the library, parks, and park district programs. She is extremely dependable and punctual. We have loved working with Silvia and hope to help her find a great family moving forward.

Silvia has been the nanny to our 4 year old daughter for the past 2 ½ years. She is extremely trustworthy, caring, responsible, and most importantly she loves our daughter. She quickly bonded with our daughter and easily adapted herself into our household routine. She truly began to care for our daughter as if she was her own, as well as going above and beyond her requirements to help out my husband and I on a day to day basis. She was instrumental in helping us potty train our daughter by age two. Silvia is creative and found learning activities for them to do throughout the day. Our daughter is starting school this fall and sadly Silvia must move on to another family. I could not recommend a better caregiver than Silvia.
