My Getaway Nanny Your Getaway Means We All Get to Play!

TESTIMONIALS

"I believe I can safely say you'll never meet a better children's caregiver than Ms. Beck. Among the most obvious qualities that she brings to the job are a deep and sincere respect for children, an expectation that they will respect her, affection, creativity, energy, a sense of balance and responsibility, a primary commitment to the child's best interests, and a loving sense of humor.

If you have met Ms. Beck, you will have observed her calm demeanor, her radiant friendliness, the twinkle in her eye, her ready laugh, her trusting generosity. You can imagine how children are immediately drawn to her, wanting to be pulled onto her lap to be read to, or to take her hand and lead her to their secret treasure.

In a world in which so much is uncertain, it is incomparably comforting to know that your children are being care for by the best caregiver there is."

"Morgaine has been a great support to me as I navigate the world of motherhood, and she has become a friend to my two children. And what is truly wonderful is she really enjoys their company just as much as they enjoy hers. She has taken time to see them as individuals and understand their different characters and always encourages their creativity and imagination."

"My children and I remember with great pleasure your being our 'Nanny Poppins'...[especially] your loving kindness and your excellently well-organized days for the children including interesting and fun and appropriate activities. Beyond that critical care, you provided me with a deeper understanding of my children with your insights into their personalities and behaviors that still resonate with me today.

C is now 21 years old and J. is 17, and your assessments of their personality traits and behaviors and expressed and unexpressed needs even now contribute to my understanding of their basic selves, especially through the ups and downs of adolescent behavior."

Mother of 2, Asia (formerly of Washington D.C.)

"Morgaine is very nice and she likes to play a lot and she likes to have fun."

Child, 6 years old, Massachusetts

"Morgaine is a warm, compassionate, responsible caregiver. While her demeanor is calm and gentle, she is firm when she needs to be. She has a sense of playfulness and joy of 'being in the moment' that resonates well with children.

She relates well to children of all ages, whether making a fort with a 3 year old, building Legos with a 6 year old, catching frogs with an 8 year old or playing baseball with a 10 year old. I have been able to observe this firsthand; as my son has grown, his relationship with Morgaine has also evolved.

Morgaine's intuition and talent for understanding personality strengths, the very skills that have led her to become a life coach, are also traits that distinguish and differentiate her as a nanny. She helped me develop an understanding of my son's innate personality strengths, which are different from my own. Morgaine's 'coaching' has helped me support my son's development while minimizing the conflict that could arise because our personality styles are different.

I highly recommend Morgaine for childcare services because she brings to the job a unique combination of the competence one would expect from a professional nanny and the warmth of a caring relative or friend."

"One of my favorite relatives is my Aunt Mary [Morgaine's "other name"]. She is really cool. I remember when my family went up to see her in Silver Spring, MD, my Aunt Mary, my sister and I did a dance to the 'The Incredible Piglets.' We had pig tails and pig noses on. We looked really funny. When we got there, there were chocolate chip donuts with everybody in my family's names on them going around on a little train.

Whenever we are with her, we have so much fun. If you were having the worst day of your life, she would automatically brighten your day!"

"I like having Mary baby-sit for me. We do lots of cool stuff together like catching frogs and toads in the pond. She makes things fun."
