Kim Martinson

What parents say about her:

“Kim Martinson has worked with our family for a number of months and is by far the most accomplished, efficient and positive person that we have engaged to care for our children. She is our “go to” person for so many things, from helping us understand emotional teenage angst to unearthing the best services and places for our family’s needs; most specifically, my daughter’s developmental requisites as she finds her place in the world. Kim’s communication and organization skills are outstanding. We feel that these qualities are crucial as my husband and I frequently work long hours, travel for business and support nonprofit interests. We all value Kim’s perspective, sense of fun and kindness - our three dogs and two cats are charmed as well.” (Current Employer)

   

Jody Morrow

What parents say about her:

“We feel truly blessed to have Jody as our Nanny and, what we consider to be, part of our family.  Jody is extremely knowledgeable, innovative, playful and professional and is always researching new developmental and fun activities and tools for our children.   Our 2 ½ year old son’s most common phrases in the evenings and on the weekends are “more Jody;”  “I want to show Jody this;” and “Jody to my house today?”  And, even better, when she arrives our 7 month old daughter kicks and smiles with joy and our son bellows out her name from the top of the stairs “JOOODY.”  It does not get better than that!”  (Current Employer)
