Kenzie has been our daughter’s nanny since September of 2022, when our daughter was eight months old. She has been working for us for a minimum of three days a week for over a year and has been an essential component to our daughter’s growth. Her prior experience helped my husband and I navigate being first-time parents. She is so knowledgeable about developmental stages and tackling difficult behavior. Kenzie assisted in introducing more solid food and dropping naps. She has provided guidance and suggestions about which developmentally appropriate activities or toys we should introduce. Our daughter was slightly delayed in her speech. However, Kenzie took her to speech therapy and consistently implemented the therapist’s suggestions throughout the day. Additionally, even when our daughter is sick, Kenzie has been unfailingly enthusiastic about spending the day taking care of her and providing her comfort. She perpetually has a positive attitude and approaches every moment with our daughter with love and warmth. Kenzie is consistently communicative throughout the day, including sending photos of her daily. She is so close to our daughter that she can tell when something just is not quite right. While she will always let us know if something seems off, she is proactive in attempting to remedy the situation and offering suggestions. In addition to making our lives easier, she has also gone above and beyond to assist our daughter’s grandparents and our dog. She worked extra days and traveled a further distance to nanny for our daughter at her grandparent’s house while we were out of town for two weeks. If we must be a little bit late coming home from time to time, she is easy-going and flexible, while invariably remaining professional. Kenzie has become a part of our family. My husband and I feel genuinely blessed to have found her. She seamlessly melded into our family. We are only (sadly) parting with Kenzie because we believe it is an appropriate time for our daughter to start daycare. Time permitting with her next job, we still want Kenzie to babysit and be a part of our daughter’s life. While my husband and I will miss having her around on a week-to-week basis, I know our daughter will also miss her tremendously. They have a loving and playful relationship, and our daughter is always happy to see Kenzie at the beginning of the day. My husband and I both trust her implicitly with our daughter. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Kenzie nanny for their children. We cannot praise her dedication, dependability, and affability enough.
