Kind words from families I’ve helped over the years.

We have known Grace since February of 2021. Grace has changed our lives. Her knowledge and guidance has helped us navigate the challenges of parenthood, from being first-time parents to dealing with terrible twos and sibling fighting. She is quick to give us advice but also respects and supports our views.

Our kids love to spend time with Grace. She is cuddly, funny, and has endless patience. She is quick to soothe tears and incredible at managing toddler meltdowns.

She never gets frustrated or raises her voice. She trusts a child’s intuition and understands that what they feel is real, giving them space and time to process their feelings before approaching the issue and helping them fix it.

For Grace, bedtime is sacred because she believes that when the body rests, the mind goes to work adjusting and processing growth. If she is allowed, she’ll stay with the kids until they fall asleep, rocking or rubbing their backs and humming her own soft song.

Both of my kids are in school full time and because I’m now working from home we don’t need her as much. Our hope is that she’ll be able to continue to help us occasionally and/or visit us as much as she is available because we’ll miss her.

Children’s Ages: 14 months and later a newborn, now 4 1/2 and 2 years old.

To whom it may concern:

Grace worked for my wife and I from September 17, 2018 – December 24, 2018. Her main responsibilities were to take care of our 2 1/2-month-old daughter and to provide personal assisting, including helping us take care of our 3 dogs and manage our home.

She was very flexible and was always available anytime we needed her, regardless if it was early morning, late nights, overnight, or even holidays. Grace is honest and trustworthy and we felt comfortable providing our credit card in her name for her to make all necessary purchases for our personal and household needs.

She is kind, nurturing, and took very good care of our daughter. She drove her to and from school, the park, and always brought her own toys to share with her. She also took very good care of our dogs. She cooked their food, took them for walks, and to the vet whenever needed.

We enjoyed her cooking and she was very conscious to follow our diet preferences and prepared nutritious breakfast, snacks, lunch, and dinner meals. She is a hard worker and always made sure that our kitchen was cleaned up and our home was neat before she left each day.

Child’s Age: 2 1/2 years old.

To whom it may concern:

I had the pleasure of having Grace Gilroy as our full-time nanny for my son, now 3 years old, since January 2015. She worked on a very flexible schedule with different hours depending on my needs, Monday to Friday and one day on the weekend.

It is evident that Grace has a vast amount of experience when it comes to child development. She always came in with different activities and games to engage my son, whether educational or simply fun, making transitions easier.

Some daily activities included going to the park, helping with social skills, and real-life activities like grocery shopping, where he learned to count, work on speech, and label different fruits and vegetables.

Grace is very caring, responsible, and trustworthy. She built good relationships with our neighbors and their kids. Grace has been an amazing caretaker and teacher to my son, as well as an exceptional household manager.

Child’s Age: 14 months old.

To Those Concerned:

It was a pleasure to have Grace Gilroy in my employ from March 2019 to September 2019.

During that time, I found Grace to be polite, committed, and incredibly creative. She took her work seriously, which was appreciated.

As the owner of a small business, it was helpful on many occasions to have Grace step in when needed, without hesitation. Her ability and flexibility were often a tremendous value.

Whomever considers bringing Grace into their lives will find her to be an amazing and warm addition to their everyday life.

Children’s Ages: 4 years old, 2 years old, and a newborn.

To Whom It May Concern:

Grace Gilroy has been employed as a full-time nanny for our 3-year-old daughter since October 2013. Her hours are 9 to 6 Monday through Friday, though she usually stays later. She also works every other Saturday evening to allow us date night.

Grace has significant education and experience in early childhood development and has been driving my daughter’s development in speech, social skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and more.

She keeps a schedule of library days, play center, play dates, music classes, and other activities. She also purchases supplies and brings her own age-appropriate games and tools for arts and crafts.

Grace is hands-on with birthday parties and celebrations, from cooking and setting up to creating handmade birthday cards. She is an expert at planning and organizing.

Grace is the most experienced, knowledgeable, responsible, organized, and caring nanny you will find. We were very fortunate to find Grace and she has definitely exceeded my expectations.

Child’s Age: 14 months old.

RE: Grace Gilroy

To Whom It May Concern:

Grace Gilroy has taken care of my children since January 2008, when my daughter was 3 months old.

I had to return to full-time work and needed to find someone I would be comfortable with becoming part of our family and spending many hours per day with my daughter. After interviewing several nannies, Grace was the right pick for us.

Grace is an exceptional nanny. She is very nurturing and never gets bored playing with and engaging with my children. She finds the right fit for each child and nurtures that.

She is very creative and thoughtful in how she spends time with my children, and they have benefited from her being part of their lives.

Both of my children light up when Grace comes. Grace will always be part of our family, and I am sure we will continue to see her socially or have her spend time with our children when we need a night out.

Children’s Ages: 6 months and later a newborn.
