We could not be happier with Tahereh as our caretaker for our infant baby boy. She started with us when he was 2 months old and worked with us until just about 1 year old, when it was time for us to send him to daycare. She was reliable, thoughtful, caring, and loving. Tahereh was part of our family and like another Mother to him. Her eyes lit up every day that she arrived at work, and so did his and you could just tell how excited our son was to see her. The love she expressed to him was consistent and genuine, and she seemed to always be in a great mood. She arrived early and stayed late and was flexible with us if something unexpected popped up in our schedules. She was also amazing with our older son who is a toddler. She enjoyed playing with him, getting him thoughtful toys, and he was so excited when he got home from school and Tahereh was still there to give him a hug. Most importantly, on more than one occasion she came to our house, on days she wasn’t scheduled to work, to help during family emergencies - one time even before the sun came up and stayed for 12 hours. We owe her so much. We never worried about her if the baby was crying. From the first week we met her she took charge and gave us the confidence that our son was in the best hands. One of us worked from home, but that was just fine, she always worked around us. She was consistent with walks outside and lots of one-on-one play. When it was time to implement a nap schedule she listened to our requests and implemented them perfectly. She also asked how she could help around the house she was on top of the laundry, dishes/dishwasher, organizing kid’s clothes and tidying (and keeping my plants alive!). We are so sad that she will not be coming to our home every day anymore. We truly could not have asked for a better person to love on our infant son for these last 9 months. If you get the opportunity to hire her, guaranteed she will be one of the best decisions you could make. We will miss her so much. She is part of our family now and always will be.
