Luz has been taking care of my 3-year old twin boys since they were only a few months old. She has grown to be a member of our family whom we cannot manage without. The boys adore her and always look forward to her coming. Even on weekends when she is not working, they ask for her. What makes Luz unique is that being a nanny is not just a job to her- she wholeheartedly cares about the well-being of my children- ensuring that they are happy, content, well-fed, and cared for. When they get into their 3-year old tantrums, she is extremely patient and takes the time to understand what they need and figures out how to calm them down, including giving cuddles and reassurance when it is appropriate. I often travel abroad for work and have a peace of mind when I do because I know that Luz is like a second mom to my children. She is also very flexible in her role and will offer extra support where it is needed, be it picking up milk from the shop or helping to tidy up the house. Plus, she is an excellent cook! She is not a fluent English speaker but all of her great qualities and her hardworking nature more than make up for that, plus she provides an opportunity for children to pick up another language. We will soon be moving away, and so Luz is looking for another home. We will surely miss her but her next family will surely be gaining a gem of a nanny!
