The reason for termination of employment was because her husband had to reduce his hours at work and they could no longer keep me full time.  Maria Lamothe 706 East Broad Street Westfield, NJ 07090 April 20, 2016 To whom it may concern: Katia Gonzalez worked for us as a full-time nanny from January until April of 2016. Katia took care of my three children ages 1 year, 3 years old and 6 years old. She worked 11-12 hours per day, 4-5 days per week. Her duties included getting the kids dressed in the morning, taking them to and from school daily and preparing meals. Most of the day was spent with our I year old daughter. Katia was a wonderful nanny who truly went above and beyond what we asked her to do. She is extremely organized, punctual, reliable and fun. Katia was always on time in the morning and never had a problem staying late when needed. The kids loved having her as their nanny and she truly became a part of our family. In addition to taking care of the kids, Katia also spent her free time organizing our home and cleaning. She made wonderful meals for the kids and played fun games with them. Unfortunately, my husband had to reduce his hours at work and we could no longer keep a full- time nanny. We were sad to see Katia go and my kids ask about her daily. I believe Katia would make a great nanny for any family and I highly recommend her. Sincerely, Maria Lamothe (cell) 732-887-4868       Tony Boyle  I worked for Tony Boyle since June 2012 till June 2013 in Las Vegas, NV for a year. The reason for termination of employment was because they had to relocate back to Phoenix. To whom it may concern: Katia Gonzalez began working for our family as a nanny and housekeeper in June, 2012 when our son was just two months old. She was referred through Nannies and Housekeepers and was paid $15/hr. Katia became an integral part of o‹?r family and always took great care of the baby. He loves her very much and enjoyed spending time with her. He was always safe and attended to while in her care. He has never even had a diaper rash! Katia is an excellent housekeeper and has a passion for keeping things orderly, clean, and organized. She would get a tremendous amount of housework done while our son was sleeping. She would quite often cook meals for the family when time permitted, and we grew very fond of traditional Dominican cuisine. Due to our increasingly demanding and fluctuating schedules, we have needed to seek a new, salaried arrangement. But we recommend Katia for employment to any home in the valley. Sincerely,
