Pinkey has been a wonderful caregiver for our 19‑month‑old son during the afternoons. He warmed up to her quickly, and she’s even been able to get him down for naps, which is no small feat. She consistently arrives on time (often a little early) and stays fully engaged with him, talking, reading, and playing developmentally supportive games. She is also very thoughtful about helping with light household tasks, such as washing dishes and tidying toys, which we greatly appreciate. I would recommend Pinkey to any family looking for an experienced, trustworthy nanny who genuinely loves caring for children.
