My former nanny, Lorna, is available for full time work. Lorna was our nanny for a short period of time when I first went back to work (I think my son was about 9 weeks). I teach at a private school on the UWS where her daughter works in the business office. Lorna was an absolute God send. I was very stressed about going back to work since my son was extremely small (he was premature) and had severe reflux. From the moment that I met Lorna, I loved her. She held my son with a tenderness which always brought a smile to my face. She treated him as if he was her own grandchild. She would let me know throughout the day how he was doing and was very patient with my new mother tiredness and neurosis. Occasionally, I would come home early and I would find her quietly speaking loving and encouraging words to him. We lived in a third floor walk up and she still took him out every day (I wanted him to have fresh air). Even my very temperamental dog loved Lorna. I have a master’s in early childhood education so I am very picky about how my son is cared for. I felt that Lorna was the perfect caregiver. She is experienced, loving and 100% devoted. I wished that Lorna could have stayed with my son until he started preschool but she needed full time hours and I could only offer part time. She agreed to work with us until she found full time work (and we found a new caregiver). She left us and began taking care of 2 infants in a nanny share situation. This past January, her share dissolved and Lorna is looking for a full time job. I HIGHLY recommend Lorna. My son is almost 2 now and Lorna still calls to check on him and even sent him a birthday card. That is how dedicated she is. If you have any more questions about Lorna, please feel free to email me at jennifer.berry@calhoun.org
