Reviewed on 4/2/2025

It is with immense gratitude that I write to recommend Gladys. Our family is relocating to a new state, which means we must navigate a new chapter without Gladys. While we are sad to see her go, we are also incredibly excited for her as she seeks a new family to share her gifts. For the past 4 years, Gladys has been so much more than a nanny; she has become an irreplaceable part of our family. From the moment Gladys entered our home, she seamlessly integrated into our lives, demonstrating an innate ability to understand and adapt to our needs. As first-time parents, my spouse and I were navigating uncharted waters, often unsure of our own parenting style. Gladys provided unwavering support and guidance, helping us find our footing with zero judgment and complete support. She became an extension of ourselves, a true partner in raising our children, while maintain appropriate professional boundaries and allowing us the space to figure out what we needed as a family as well. Navigating this balance is truly an art form that Gladys has mastered and is an underrated part of having a Nanny in the home. Gladys possesses a rare combination of flexibility, selflessness, and dedication. She consistently prioritizes the needs of our children and our family above all else. Whether it was adjusting her schedule to accommodate unexpected work demands, staying late to care for the kids, or simply offering a helping hand without being asked, Gladys always went above and beyond. She even extended her care to our dog, treating him as one of her own and ensuring he felt loved and included. Her impact on our children's development has been incredible. Our children, have thrived under her care. Gladys has a natural talent for creating a stimulating and nurturing environment. My children both speak Spanish better than I do, a testament to Gladys's dedication to language immersion. This gift will undoubtedly enrich their lives and open doors for them as they grow. Our four-year-old is already ahead of her peers in recognizing numbers and letters, a direct result of the intentional and engaging educational activities Gladys meticulously planned and implemented over the years. Both of our children reached all their developmental milestones, and I firmly believe that Gladys's attentive care and focus on their physical and cognitive growth played a significant role in their success. Beyond her exceptional caregiving skills, Gladys is a remarkable human being. She is trustworthy, reliable, and possesses a level of professionalism that is truly rare. As an executive working from home, I never once had to worry about Gladys's ability to maintain confidentiality. She handled sensitive information with the utmost discretion and respect. She was an invaluable support system during my second pregnancy, providing both practical assistance and emotional encouragement. She has been there for us as parents every step of the way. Gladys is one of those rare individuals who radiates joy, strength, and genuine care for the well-being of those around her. She approaches every task with enthusiasm and a positive attitude, creating a happy and harmonious atmosphere in our home. We know how important it is to find the right person to care for your children. When we were looking for a nanny, my mom told me to do whatever it takes to find the right person, because it would impact so much about our family’s growth. We took that advice to heart, and we are so incredibly grateful that we found Gladys. She's everything a parent could want and more.
