Valerie is an amazing nanny. The best nanny we've had. We would hire her in a heartbeat again so you should hire her and you will be so glad you did. Valerie taught my daughter 6 and my son 4 how to read in a few weeks. I was amazed at how fast they started reading. They didn't know how to read and a few weeks later they were holding books and reading all thanks to Valerie. My kids love her and she always goes out of her way to make things special for kids. She will bake their favorite chocolate chip cookies or make special valentine cookies on V day, bake rainbow or unicorn cupcakes for children's birthday or any fun occasion. Valerie is every mom's dream, she takes great care of children and I feel very safe when my kids are with her. She is very creative and makes all sorts of arts and crafts with my children. We are so grateful for her knowledge and love for our children. They absolutely love her and so do we.
