Pauline has been our nanny for the past year, caring for our son from 4 months to 16 months and supporting our older toddler daughter as well. She is truly exceptional—nurturing, respectful, and deeply knowledgeable about early childhood development. With our infant, she was attentive, gentle, and skilled in every aspect of care, and consistently went above and beyond by helping keep our home organized, doing baby laundry, tidying shared spaces, and proactively assisting with household tasks. As our son grew, she ensured he stayed engaged with walks, park outings, library visits, story times, and weekly baby gym classes. When she began caring for our toddler, we saw an entirely new level of her talent. She has a rare gift with toddlers and knows exactly how to meet them where they are emotionally. She helps with morning routines, supports our daughter’s emotional regulation, and speaks to her in a way that makes her feel heard and understood. Pauline is reliable, punctual, warm, professional, and seamlessly integrated into our family. She has been an incredible blessing to us over the past year, and any family would be truly lucky to have her.
