Very familiar with EYS as I stayed for 5 years as a live-in nanny with kids who were 4 and 6 at the start of my position. I can warrantee your kids will be reading and writing better and before other kids while in my care. I am very active and love the outdoors so I will encourage your kids to exercise.

Thank you Sera! I’m most happy working with you guys.
Hopefully, something good will come along for the summer :)
We booked Marcela to look after our 2 boys (aged 4 years and 2 years) over the summer period. I have been very impressed by her commitment and dedication to her work as a Nanny. Everyday she has indoor and outdoor activities planned for the boys. She engages them in arts and crafts, cooking, drawing and reading. She is also teaching my boys Spanish and French, which they love and also takes time to work on their reading and writing skills.
I am very impressed by her cooking skills and she has successfully incorporated fruits and vegetables to their diet (My boys have always hated vegetables). She prepares a wide range of English and Mexican meals for the boys and my husband and I take joy in eating the left overs :-)
With Marcela, my boys have been to the cinema, the farm, the library and museums. They take daily trips to the park and enjoy rides on the bus and train to various attractions. She is always on the look out for nearby child friendly activities for the boys.
Marcella is enthusiastic and buzzing with energy. She is hard working and dedicated, and has surpassed our expectations. My husband and I are so impressed that we have decided to extend her services beyond the summer period for pick ups and after school care.

Dear Anne:
It has been a great experience working with you. You have made me feel confident and secure. I'm in love with my boys Daniel and Samuel and very thrilled of our successes together,
Most of all I want to thank you for the trust in me, this is most important because it allows me to achieve more.
I'm sure we will still make a great team together :)

She has agreed to come for an interview today ( 01/07/17 at 10:00am) but never showed up. I think that is very unprofessional.
Not hiring someone which don't bother to send me a message to cancel the interview, it would be someone that I won't trust to leave with my daughter.

Dear Elaine:
As I said via message, it was an awful mistake on my behalf as I didn't book the appointment.
I'm truly sorry.
