We had a wonderful experience with Heather as our nanny and would recommend her to any family. Heather cared for our son from the time he was 6 months old until 18 months old. She helped with his transition from bottles to solid foods and consistently kept him engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. She regularly took him to music classes, on walks, and to the park, and was always attentive and nurturing. In addition to excellent childcare, Heather also helped with weekly laundry and light housekeeping, which made a big difference in our day-to-day routine. She is reliable, kind, and very communicative. We are grateful for the care she provided and would recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny.
