Due to my hectic travel schedule and my wife’s busy practice, we rely entirely upon Tina to manage the day-to-day routine for our kids. The greatest compliment I can pay her, is that I am never worried when away from home, because she cares for them as if they were her own children. In addition to caring for our kids, she has helped us train babysitters that we utilize on the weekends and is currently training our Au Pair. Because of her strong organizational skills and interpersonal skills, she has been a very effective trainer for us. I could fill up the next two pages raving about Tina and her qualifications. A few highlights – she has never missed a day of work in 2 years, my kids miss her when she isn’t here, she quickly adapts to routines and helps organize the kids schedules, she goes above-and-beyond what we ask of her, she has a great attitude, and is going to be greatly missed when she leaves us at the end of the month. I give her the highest possible recommendation. Please feel free to call me directly on my cell (312-968-8000) if you have any questions or would like to speak live. Sincerely, Walter      Mel Spittlerr  Tina is the definition of hard work, caring, loving, reliable, and the kind of person and nanny that hits the ground running. There is no child or children that she can not connect with that is how wonderful she is. She worked for my husband and I for about 2 years and we were sad to lose her as a nanny because she became more than a nanny, she is a member of our family. The family that is blessed with having Tina to take care of their child or children has literally won the lottery because she is an active, hands-on, one of a kind person that takes the time and energy to know and understand a family's needs as far as their children are concerned. She takes pride in teaching children new things whether it be potty training or their ABCs, as well as keeping them active indoors with crafts or outdoors with trips to the playground. the library, or the zoo. Tina is a pleasure to know and is the MVP of nannies, Mary Poppins has nothing on her
