About Montse

Reviewed on 4/16/2025

It is hard for me to know where to start, in terms of sharing how wonderful Montse is. The Care.com review rating system has a maximum of 5 stars, but that is not enough for Montse!! Montse deserves 6 stars!!! Montse is a wonderful, gem of a human being, who we have been extremely blessed, appreciative, and satisfied to have as our nanny for the last 14 months, and just as importantly, to have in our lives. We hired her full-time to provide day care to our first son when he was 4 months old, and he is now almost 18 months old. It is hard to believe that it has only been a little over a year because we feel like we have known Montse for much longer. During that time, Montse has become like family to us, and we are truly saddened to be losing her in our daily lives (we are moving out of the area). Montse has been absolutely incredible with our son, in so many ways. She loves our son, genuinely, and our son loves her. And we love her, too. What is so great about Montse? Everything, but in particular: Montse is very energetic, positive, and active, and she takes our son out to do all kinds of fun things like going to parks, museums, libraries, beaches, playgrounds, and other green spaces and fun places. She knows all of the fun things to do and places to take children on the North Shore, as she has lived here for three decades. She is like our fun, high-energy, Spanish Aunt! We love how much our son does with her on any given day. They do so much! Everyday is like some amazing camp for our son. We trust Montse completely and have never had any issues with her. She is a wonderful communicator, constantly sharing with us what she is planning, what they are doing, where they are going, when they will be back, and sending us wonderful, beautiful photos of all the fun things that she is doing with our son. It is a joy to find out what they are up to every day. Montse makes our son laugh and giggle with delight and amusement all day. She sings him songs, plays games with him, and gives him the kind of affection that we would want to give him, if we could be there with him. She is an amazing proxy for our love and attention. She also teaches him many things, and we have witnessed how she manages his tantrums and difficulties with grace, experience, and love. We have learned a lot about parenting from watching her. Again, Montse has become like family to us. She always tells us that she cares for and loves our son as if he were her grandson, and we know that is true. Montse has raised two absolutely incredible children of her own, who are lovely, intelligent, and kind, and who we are very fond of as well. There are so many other memorable anecdotes that I would mention if it were appropriate, or if I had the space and time to try to fully flesh out to you how wonderful Montse is, but hopefully you will take my word, and the word of others on this site, that Montse is a truly gifted and exceptional caregiver of children, a wonderful human being, and that you would be doing yourself a disservice not to consider working with her.
