Graca D.

I am very happy to recommend Graca, who cared for my children—primarily my youngest daughter—when they were very young. She was our nanny from the time my daughter was an infant until she was three years old, providing daily, full-time care during these early formative years. During that time, Graca was consistently honest, trustworthy, patient, and deeply kind. She handled all aspects of my daughter’s care with calm competence and genuine warmth—feeding, play, walks, naps, and the countless small moments that make up daily life with an infant and toddler. She was incredibly loving and attentive, and I always felt complete peace of mind knowing my daughter was with her. She loved to sing to my daughter and there were many times she was the only one who could calm her when she was fussy. In addition, she kept our home spotlessly clean and well organized, which was a tremendous relief to frazzled parents at the end of a long day. Although it has been many years since Graca worked with our family, I feel confident offering this recommendation because the qualities she demonstrated—reliability, patience, integrity, and genuine care for children—are fundamental aspects of her character. They are not skills that fade with time. I trusted her completely with my child, and that trust was never misplaced. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking a loving, capable, and dependable caregiver.

Graca is an amazing, nurturing and loving caregiver who cared for my daughters for 3 years before beginning preK. She is trustworthy and reliable. My younger daughter - who she began caring for when she was 3 months - absolutely adored her as did the rest of our family. I highly recommend her.
