Travel Nanny
Enjoy Your Travel Experience
Perfect for the family who likes to travel together! Imagine enjoying quality family time with your children, having relaxing moments by yourself, and sharing romantic time as a couple all in the same day! Families appreciate having a travel nanny along during busy, fun-filled travel adventures. It affords them smoother travel days and the flexibility of being able to confidently plan special time with their children, as well as time to pursue varied recreational and cultural interests, and time to entertain business clients, family and friends. Having a travel nanny along means everyone gets to have a vacation!
“Our children were 8 months and 4 years old when we traveled by plane to Switzerland and Germany to visit friends and my family. I felt blessed to have Martha along. She dealt expertly with my daughter’s temper tantrums and provided my son with fantastic care. Our trip was a wonderful experience, totally enjoyable, thanks to Martha’s patience and nurturing presence.”

Temporary Nanny
Peace of Mind
Perhaps you would like to take a couple’s vacation, attend a conference or accompany your spouse on a business trip. Perhaps you wish to take your children along when you travel for an extended work assignment. Maybe you need a temporary nanny when your nanny is on vacation or while you search for a permanent nanny. Whatever the situation and whenever you need a helping hand, it is wonderful to know you can call an experienced, trusted childcare professional for assistance.
“Our son has had several caregivers in our home and he seemed the happiest he’s ever been with Martha. Both my mom and grandma came to adore Martha. After getting to know her, and seeing her interact with our son, they would like to see Martha here whenever we travel.”

Newborn Care
Confident Parenting
There is nothing more joyful than welcoming a new baby into your life. In those first few weeks, you may find it comforting to have a newborn care nanny available to assist you, offering guidance and support in caring for your newborn. Having an extra pair of nurturing hands ensures the new mom gets the rest she needs, the new baby successfully settles into a routine feeding and sleeping schedule, and both parents can relax and enjoy a smooth transition into parenthood.
“Martha came to care for our first born while we searched for a permanent childcare solution. While here, she noticed our daughter had a condition called torticollis, something my husband and I knew nothing about. Martha’s detailed attention to our baby’s development led to timely and successful treatment. Martha is calm, 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.”

Extended Care
Every so often, I receive requests from parents asking me if I would provide extended childcare services. These requests come when a family needs the support, reliability, and nurturing care of a professional nanny to assist them in addressing particularly stressful, anxious or worrisome situations – requests have been made when a parent or sibling is facing a battle with a life-threatening disease, a child is in need of positive behavioral guidance or in need of overcoming a physical limitation, a child requires assistance with addressing academics, social and cultural issues or a life-altering occurrence. It is a comfort during these times for parents to have a patient, understanding, and loving caregiver available to help their child navigate the emotional challenges ahead.
“Martha has consistently provided highly constructive and positive guidance to her Principal. She has also demonstrated excellent reliability and first-rate attention to detail. Furthermore, Martha has demonstrated strong cultural sensitivity and adaptability throughout her dealings with the Family which has included direct contact with individuals from a wide range of cultures and religions.”

Additional Services
Senior Companion
On occasion, my services are requested to offer assistance to a senior member of the family.
“For a number of years, Martha has assisted me in traveling to and from my summer home on an island off the coast of Maine. I am an artist in my 90’s and Martha packs up my luggage and paintings and off we go traveling for a day by car and ferry. Once we have arrived on the island, Martha stays with me for a few days to help me settle in and prepares my studio for the summer season – cleaning, organizing, and hanging artwork. Martha understands my physical limitations, is attentive to my needs, and works alongside me at my pace. She is wonderful company and I am so appreciative of her assistance. I can’t imagine traveling without her!”
— Frances, Thompson, CT
“My mother is getting on in years and has trouble navigating her steps due to Macular Degeneration, an age-related eye ailment that destroys sharp, central vision. Mom lives four hours away from us and we like to see her as often as possible, especially around the holidays. We feel very fortunate to have found Martha. She has transported Mom to and from her home to ours on numerous occasions. We have found Martha to be patient, calm, and thoughtful with Mom, having a clear understanding of her needs and limitations. Mom just loves Martha and we couldn’t be more pleased that she is in our lives.”
