About Grace

Reviewed on 3/31/2025

Grace is our current (and favorite) full-time nanny. She has served as our toddler’s full-time Nanny for over 1 year and we will miss her dearly as she embarks on a new adventure outside our state. My wife and I have employed 5 full-time nannies in the past 3 years for our two toddlers while we both work hybrid and remote jobs in the Tech sector. While each nanny had their strengths, Grace is our absolute favorite and irreplaceable in every way. For the past year, she diligently cared for our 2-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son full-time, and provided overtime for occasional date nights. Grace communicates well and was rarely under the weather herself – a trait my wife and I wish we inherited. The few vacations Grace planned were communicated in advance, allowing my wife and I to shuffle work meetings and limit our PTO usage. In spite of our children getting sick every 2-3 weeks, getting hit with every bodily fluid, and dealing with frequent tantrums, she remained healthy, patient, and steadfast with her consistent kindness. She regularly sings, dances, and plays with our children, teaches them effective self-calming strategies, and can be trusted alone at home or out in town providing adventures. What set Grace apart from our other nannies was her ability to create a structured week without needing our input. Whether it was taking the kids to library puppet shows, museums, playgrounds, or splashpads, there was a never a dull-moment. She planned it all and kept us in the loop while keeping the kids fed and getting them proper naps. Grace is NOT one to just put the kids in front of the TV while looking at her phone on a sunny day and stays focused on the children the whole time. She also covered the education side by teaching our kids the ABCs, counting, and improving basic manners. Amazingly, Grace helped potty train both of our kids - a daunting task considering our son may have ADHD but is too young for diagnosis. Recently, we transitioned our kids to preschool in the mornings and Grace took on additional duties by grocery shopping and running errands in town for us. In short, we have nothing but the utmost praise and highest esteem for Grace and her level of childcare. She is worth every penny and more. She’ll constantly surprises us with things like Micky Mouse shaped pancakes, frequent pictures/video of the kids, and secret craft projects from the kids to wish us overworked parents a needed happy birthday/Mother’s Day/Father’s Day. We consider Grace one of the family as she has seen us at our highest of highs and lowest of lows. We love her as one of our own. If Mary Poppins were a real person, Grace would have been her instructor and role model. She even has a singing voice with acting skills to match! I strongly endorse making Grace your next full or part-time nanny or even using as an occasional babysitter. Like us, you and your children may wonder how you made it this far without someone like her in your life.
