Experience: 10 yrs
Hi. My name is Deena. I love kids and I have exceptional references. I am a mature woman, energetic, athletic with a positive attitude and a happy disposition. I have raised two sons, one is a pharmacist and has become the manager in Florida, and my other son has been working in a state university with an IT technical job. I am very proud for both my sons' success and I know they are living a happy life. My interest in being a caregiver, nanny started with MY PASSION FOR HORSES. I was so fortunate to have a wonderful job as a horseback riding instructor for the little ones starting at age 3 up to age 10. The children have such a curiosity and are fascinated with the horse. I taught them the care and grooming of the horse and we're always well supervised. They had so much fun just sitting on a horse. We played games like Simon says , touch the horses neck, pat the horse etc. The parents loved how I worked with their kids and I was so fortunate to become employed with them as a babysitte

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter of recommendation because I believe that my dear friend, Deena, would be idea to care for your children. I met Deena at the American Academy of Equestrian Sciences in 2006. My daughters, Brenda and Joy, were then 7 and 5 years old. She taught them many things about theh orses with enthusiasm and kindness. I was impressed with Deena's ability to relate to my children, make things fun for them and keep them interested and on task. I hired Deena to watch my girls many times. Often she would pick them up at school and drive them to lessons. She would watch them in my home and she would take them on fun outings such as the petting zoo and the Leesburg Parade. Deena always made things interesting and fun for my girls and they talk about her to this day. They are 12 and 10 and ask when Ms. Deena can come and "hang out" with them. They both miss her. Deena has a wonderful ability to make a child feel at ease. SHe is so hard working but because she is so positive and upbeat, it never looks like work. She is always professional and she really loves the children that she looks after. She was always punctual and highly responsible. Lastly, Deena possesses an abundance of energy. She has more stamina than most women half her age. Physically, she is capable of an amazing amount of work and there isn't much a child could throw at her that she couldn't handle. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. I can't say enough positive things about Deena. She is an asset in any setting and I have no doubt that she will be successful in anything she attempts.
