Marisa S.

Marisa has been with our family for the past year and a half (with our now 7.5yo girl), and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. She is an incredible nanny and has become a very important person in our lives. One of the things I appreciate most about Marisa is how calm, steady, and genuinely kind she is. She brings this wonderful sense of stability into our home, the feeling that everything is going to be okay. And somehow that works not only on the child, but on the parents too! She is also remarkably present with our daughter. When our daughter wants to tell her a story or explain something she is excited about, Marisa really listens. She takes her interests seriously, asks questions, remembers things, and genuinely engages with whatever happens to be fascinating her at the moment. That kind of attention is surprisingly rare, and I think it is a big part of why they have built such a strong and trusting relationship. Our daughter always looks forward to seeing Marisa and makes plans for what they are going to do together. Marisa is also wonderfully creative and thoughtful about how they spend their time. She brings games, activities, and ideas based on our daughter's current interests. At one point she brought Monopoly because she knew how much our daughter loves math, and they ended up practicing mental arithmetic and working with money while playing. It was such a simple, clever way to turn something she already loved into a learning experience without making it feel like "learning". They cook and bake together, make cookies and cupcakes, play board games, do projects, and spend time outside. Marisa is great at finding that balance between following a child's lead and gently introducing something new. On top of all of that, she is exceptionally reliable and punctual. We have always felt completely comfortable knowing that when Marisa is with our daughter, she is in capable, caring hands. After a year and a half together, we very much hope to have Marisa in our lives for a long time. She is a truly wonderful nanny and a wonderful person. Any family lucky enough to work with her will have found someone very special.

We’ve been lucky to have Marisa as our nanny for the past several months and she’s been fantastic. She’s reliable, warm, and incredibly skilled at connecting with our child, tailoring her approach to their unique needs. From creative activities to educational games, she keeps them engaged and happy. We love her communication style, always keeping us updated and informed. Most importantly, our children adore her and look forward to spending time with her. We highly recommend Marisa to any family in need of a trustworthy, caring nanny!
