Marielena L.

We had the pleasure of having Marielena as a nanny for our little one for approximately 20 months, from when he was 4 months old. It has been an incredibly positive experience. From the onset, her approach to childcare was marked by a profound commitment to safety, which brought us immense peace of mind. She was vigilant about our baby's environment, ensuring that all safety measures were not only met but exceeded. Her expertise extended beyond safety; her nurturing demeanor and skillful care were evident in her every interaction with our child. Marielena’s ability to blend care with education with play was particularly remarkable. Under her guidance, our baby was not only cared for but also lovingly introduced to the Spanish language through songs, music and books. He also learned colors, numbers, letters, arts, and crafts through the various activities she planned and executed, helping his developmental stages. Her dedication to our child's well-being was clear in every action, from creating a safe space for exploration to providing the gentle push towards developmental milestones. She has a natural talent for understanding and catering to the unique needs of infants, and her ability to do so in both English and Spanish is a rare find. It's with a heavy heart that we part ways with Marielena, owing to our son starting the next phase of his life at pre-school. We unequivocally recommend her to any family seeking a caregiver who is trustworthy, attentive, and exceptionally capable, particularly for those hoping to introduce their child to key lessons during formative years. She has been more than a nanny to us; she has been a valuable extension of our family.
