About Dianne

Reviewed on 10/16/2024

Dian was an exceptional nanny for my son, M, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly trustworthy and reliable, always showing up on time and ready to engage. More than just a caregiver, Dian truly became a part of our family, treating M with the same love and care as she would her own children. With over 30 years of experience as a teacher in the Birmingham school district, she brings a wealth of knowledge, patience, and understanding, making her a natural educator as well as a caregiver. Dian has raised three wonderful children of her own, and her nurturing, positive influence was evident every day. She knows instinctively how to balance fun with structure—you won’t need to remind her about limiting screen time, encouraging outdoor play, or teaching self-reliance and chores; she integrates these values seamlessly. Dian's creativity shines through in everything she does, from organizing sports activities, bike rides, arts and crafts, to finding engaging new ways to keep M learning and growing. She often went above and beyond, planning special outings after school if my work schedule required it. Whether it was a local event, a museum, or a new park to explore, Dian always ensured M had meaningful, enriching experiences. We miss having her around on a daily basis and still keep in touch, as she truly became a cherished part of our lives. Unfortunately, due to financial changes, we could no longer retain her services, which was a great loss for us. If she is still available, consider yourself lucky—Dian is an incredible catch. Her wealth of experience, genuine care, and proactive, creative approach make her the perfect nanny for any family.
