Welcoming Helene into our family was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She was with us for over a year, starting when our son was 2 months old. Helene is warm, kind, understanding and amazing with kids. She has ample experience with early childhood education and young children. She treated our son as if he were her own and gave him so much love and thoughtful care. As he got older, Helene's curriculum with him developed, she incorporated sensory play, Montessori techniques, arts, and crafts, and fostered his natural curiosities. Each day we were amazed by the activities that she came up with, and the giggles we were hearing from the playroom. Helene truly became part of our family and our partner in raising our son. We constantly bounced ideas off her and consulted with her because of her experience. It was such a huge value as new parents in uncharted waters. We recommend Helene to any family without hesitation! We miss her so much and you would be very lucky to have her.
