About Jorgie

In the nine months we have spent with Jorgie, she has truly become a part of our family. I don’t think I could ever possibly say enough wonderful things about her, but here is my best attempt…. As a first time mom, I was EXTREMELY anxious about returning to work and entrusting another person to watch my child. Had Jorgie not come into our lives, I don’t think I’d have been able to return to work. Other reviewers have noted her calming presence, and I can fully attest to that. Our house often feels like a circus. With my husband’s unpredictable ER work schedule, our very needy dogs and cats, and - when Jorgie first started - our four month old daughter, it is a lot to handle. But from the very first day, she just made everything calmer and more manageable. She was the breath of fresh air I didn’t even know I needed. Far from feeling anxious about having a stranger in my home, I found myself looking forward to her arrival each morning. From the minute she enters our home, she can immediately see what needs to be put in order and sets upon doing it. I never had to micromanage her or tell her what I needed help with. She knew without me having to even ask. And when I say she has helped me with just about everything, I really do mean it… She did everything including tidying up the kitchen each morning, organizing our daughter’s clothes and toys, picking up our groceries, feeding the animals, etc. As a work from home mom, I also got to observe her with our daughter in a way most parents may not be able to. She is the most gentle, attentive, and nurturing caregiver we could have asked for. Our daughter simply ADORES her. Every day I would just listen to my daughter giggling along for hours with Jorgie. She is clearly very experienced with children because she always had age appropriate activities for our daughter and was knowledgeable about nap schedules and developmental milestones. I should also add that our daughter has recently started trying to walk and Jorgie’s reflexes are truly amazing… She’s not let her fall a single time. Which is something not even her dad or I can say. More than anything I just have found Jorgie to be a very thoughtful and genuine person. She possesses an emotional intelligence that is hard to find these days. She’s accompanied me to family events and was on hand to help at our daughter’s first birthday. Literally every single person from my circle that has met her has adored her. They say children absorb a lot from the people they spend time with, and Jorgie is exactly the type of kind, positive influence you’d want for your children. We would have never parted with Jorgie and are so terribly sad to see her go. But we wish her all the best in California and hope to see her whenever she is back in the South Florida area!
