Client Confidence
Client confidentiality is always a priority, so it is with their consent that I share the following comments with you.
“The position here as a nanny requires protocol, flexibility, cultural understanding, patience, ability to work positively within a large household staff bringing about positive changes for the child involved, and a level of integrity and professionalism well above and beyond what most families expect. Martha met these requirements with intelligence, grace, diligence and awareness.”
"For our children you were a new friend, someone who nurtured their creative play and clearly cared about their well-being. For my husband and me, you were peace of mind. You exceeded our expectations and we look forward to welcoming you again and again."
"It is my pleasure to recommend Martha Wetzel to you. My husband Michael and I travel together several times each year for our profession. It’s often been a struggle to find someone we can trust to completely take over our home and care for our son. Kevin has had several caregivers in our home, under similar circumstances, and he seemed the happiest he’s ever been with Martha. My mom spent quite a bit of time with Martha and was able to confirm our sense that she is competent, reliable, and warm. My mom also mentioned that Martha is an excellent driver. Our time away included Thanksgiving. Martha prepared a turkey in advance and took my mother and Kevin to my 92-year old grandmother’s house in Queens. Both mom and grandma came to adore Martha. There couldn’t be any more concerned grandmother/great grandmothers, and they both would like to see Martha here with Kevin whenever we travel. After getting to know her, and seeing her interact with Kevin, they feel they can relax while he is in her care. That means we can too!"
"As a first-time mother, I was dreading the day I would have to leave my daughter to return to work. I had been warned about the guilt, worry, and sadness that would accompany my first day back and was prepared for the worst. I was nervous about leaving her. Fortunately, my husband and I found Martha, who put all of my fears to rest. I could honestly tell my coworkers that while I did in fact feel guilty, it was not for the reason they had warned me about. I felt guilt for not feeling guilty. I did not have a single worry that first day back because I knew that my daughter was being cared for by someone who was loving and nurturing. Martha is also calm and patient and is always discrete and professional. As an experienced nanny, teacher, and mother of four, she is very knowledgeable about child development and very comfortable with infants."
"My husband and I were traveling with our baby and the childcare that I’d hired to come along, turned out to be a disaster. Martha arrived in the Caribbean within a few days of our initial contact and offered instant relief to us with our son. I highly recommend Martha. She is an absolute professional and very easy to work with. Martha traveled light, yet still came with age-appropriate toys for our son. Our baby is our first born and started to crawl and eat solids while Martha was with us. These are huge milestones and as first time parents, we were happy to have her input. We really enjoyed the service Martha gave us. I had total peace of mind when I was away from my baby and we’ll use her again."
"As a single mother with five children at home I hired Martha to care for my family while I was on a business trip to China. Martha kept my kids on their normal routine with school schedules, activities, friends, Spring performances and they never missed a beat being with her. The house was in order when I returned and all the kids raved about her."
“Martha traveled with us and our two young boys over the most recent Christmas vacation. She is extremely professional, flexible and accommodating, and it was a pleasure to travel with her and to have her in our home. Martha engaged extensively with our sons and our three year old grew particularly attached to her in a short period of time. She brought her own age-appropriate toys with her and when my husband and I were otherwise engaged, she was constantly engaged with educational and fun activities with the children or reading stories to them. We plan to travel again with Martha and I highly recommend her to others.”
“I have watched Martha inspire kids to grow and excel in ways that many of them did not believe they could. Energy, exuberance, and commitment are all words that describe Martha. She is patient, kind, stern when necessary, encouraging, and understanding. Her integrity, ability to compromise and listen, and her willingness to grow and learn make her a person I will always admire. Her motivation, however, does not only reach children. Martha has inspired me to always believe in children and their future. It is refreshing to work with an individual who still believes we can all succeed.”
"As an administrator for early childhood educational programs, I naturally seek to find the characteristics that make families unique. I am so fortunate to have worked with Martha Wetzel, a caregiver who produces an organic love and consistently displays the skillset needed to mold children into well-rounded young adults and ultimately productive members of society. As Martha stands in the guardianship of the children, her natural sense of nurture shines within her interactions with the children. The children truly love and admire her. Martha has molded children of standard, respect, and curiosity."
“Martha’s fine interpersonal skills allow her to guide associates toward a creative goal that maximizes each contributor’s strengths, increasing depth and value of the projects she addresses. I have found her moral character - unshakable; her personal generosity of both time and spirit - an ever-invigorating inspiration; and her standard - defined excellence.”
