Bonnie is a walking and talking Montessori school: she's equipped not only with a plethora of Montessori knowledge but also with an arsenal of engaging activities that she will specifically tailor for your kids. Bonnie cared for our son from the age of 5 months until he started a Montessori preschool at 18 months. Thanks to her, he was more than prepared for the classroom environment and adapted very quickly to being away from home for the first time. In fact, we received many compliments from teachers on how ready he was, both socially and developmentally. Because of Bonnie, our son achieved numerous milestones ahead of schedule. One of her greatest strengths is her attention to detail. Through her keen observation, Bonnie was able to challenge our son just enough to keep him engaged and continuously learning something new. We often receive compliments on his remarkable ability to focus and notice everything around him. Bonnie fostered his independent play so effectively that, even now, we almost never need to rely on screen time! We heard horror stories of nannies with their shoes and coats on, at the door, ready to leave the moment the clock struck the hour, regardless of the child’s state. We were so glad that Bonnie was never like that. She always went the extra mile, ensuring our son was clean, fed, and in a happy mood before handing him off at the end of the day. As first time parents working from home, we benefited immensely from her expertise: she happily shared countless caregiving techniques that have prepared us for the challenges of parenting, including the infamous "terrible twos." Because of her, our home feels ready to handle whatever comes our way. :) Bonnie will put your kids first, as if they were her own. We saw this with our son, and with how much he loved spending his days with her.
