Manhattan Nanny Amal's References

“It is my great pleasure to recommend Amal to your family as a nanny. She has been caring for our children since my son was 15 months old in 2003 (he will soon turn 7 years old in December 2009) and my daughter since she was 3 years old (now 9 years old). Ms. Amal is bright, reliable, and affectionate. She is also well versed in child development, both due to her university studies and a natural affinity towards children. She relates to our children in such a delightful way, turning practically everything into a fun game as children do learn through play! Ms. Amal knows how to structure time well, but is also flexible. She is as comfortable helping our children through a preschool workbook and now homework as she is creating art projects out of sticks and leaves and growing butterflies (my son's favorite). Ms. Amal is warm and approachable. My children oriented to her quickly. She is also competent, responsible, creative and fun!!! She helped with feedings, diapering and general childcare. She easily transitioned my toddler onto the potty and engaged our three year old in fun and imaginative play activities. There was no problem keeping the television off. Ms. Amal played music, sang songs and entertained with play. We feel fortunate to have had Ms. Amal in our home. We are convinced that our children owe much of their positive development to her presence. Her approach to caring for Joselyn and Joshua complements our parenting well, as she respects our personal philosophies while being confident enough to independently make day-to-day decisions regarding our children. Ms. Amal is so loved by my children that we cannot have a family event without having Ms. Amal there. She is part of our family. We would highly recommend Ms. Amal to a family that is looking for a childcare provider that is caring, imaginative, responsible, hardworking, loving and yet respectful of our house rules on such things as nutrition, television time and discipline. She is well regarded as an exceptional experienced nanny who cares about children and families! We are glad to have had her in our life and would not hesitate contacting her for any future childcare needs. In closing, based on our experience working with her, my husband and I can recommend Amal to be one of your Manhattan Nannies without reservation.”

“It gives me great pleasure to provide a letter of recommendation for Amal. I have known Amal for approximately 10 months. During this period she served in the capacity of Teacher to my son. Amal possesses the qualities necessary in the early childhood education field, which include the ability to nurture, patience, creativity, and organization. Amal planned day-to-day activities with the children that included social interaction and self-expression to name a few. Amal also interacted with the parents to ensure educational reinforcement for the children outside of the classroom setting. Amal will be a great asset to any family and shall thrive within.”

“Amal has worked with my family since December 2003. She has worked with and cared for all three of my children since starting their enrollment at Brooklyn Child and Family Services. My children Amir age 8, and Namivah age 4 are both former students of Amal’s. During their time in her classroom, Amal was responsible, enthusiastic and loving. She understood my children's needs and worked within their individual boundaries. She was a disciplinarian with her own set of morals and values; however she left room for flexibility based on my wishes and expectations. My children adored Amal so much that I asked her to supervise them occasionally on weekends when I had to run errands or during evenings when I had to stay late for work. She consistently provided my children with activities that were developmentally appropriate and fun. If the weather permitted, Amal would take my children on field trips or visit the park, a museum or toy store. My children continuously reflect upon experiences that they have shared with Amal. Amal has also cared for my youngest child, Jusir (now age 2), since he was born. She has helped me with diapering, feedings, washings, resting periods, and doctor visitations/appointments. Amal has given me several suggestions regarding Jusir's overall development. For instance, she has helped me implement a schedule for Jusir at home to reinforce what Jusir learned in school. Moreover, Amal encouraged me to plan play dates with some of Jusir's fellow classmates to enhance his social-emotional development. Amal is a blessing and a pleasure to work with. She takes her job seriously and is a true professional; you will be pleased to have her on board as one of your Manhattan Nannies.”

“I am the parent of Qua-Sean Brown Jr. Amal cared for my child from the age of 6 months until the age of 4 years. She is a great teacher and person. She is the first choice for all my friends and family. I recommend her to everyone I know with a child. She provides children with the knowledge they need to grow. She taught my son shapes, colors and numbers and she is the best at story telling time. I highly recommend her to any family and wish her well in any direction she decides to take.”

“This serves to certify that I am acquainted with Amal in a professional capacity, where she is currently employed as Head Teacher of one of our Head Start Classrooms. Amal is well known for her dedication, commitment, and professionalism with respect to her leadership functions in the attainment of set Program objectives. Her adherence to the Principles of the Performance Standards of the Head Start Program, ensures that competency and excellent goal attainments are always evident. In addition, her professional advice in educational matters is constantly sought and respected by her colleagues. I therefore take pleasure in recommending her for a position as a Nanny with a family and your agency as one of ABC's Manhattan Nannies.”

“I highly recommend Amal to your organization. I worked closely with Amal at Brooklyn Child and Family Services Inc. In her capacity as head teacher, we worked intensely together providing a nurturing and structured environment to help each student function at their highest capacity. It was an absolute honor working with someone of Amal’s caliber, integrity and intelligence. Given her compassion, tolerance, creativity, sense of humor and understanding nature, I found it extremely motivating working with Amal. Her ability to lead is evident in her professional mannerism and her ability to be a strong team player. Amal often extends herself beyond the classroom to share her knowledge and experience with co-workers and the families she service. She consistently demonstrated the ability to constructively handle crisis in a calm and professional manner. Amal’s additional strength at the workplace was her commitment to all of her students and their families. She also was extremely supportive of our students' self-determination and was consistently respectful of their accomplishments. She was flexible, caring and consistently adhered to the mission statement. Needless to say, it is without reservation that I recommend Amal for a Nanny position. She will be an asset and a breath of fresh air to any family.”

“I have worked with Amal for the past five years. I have provided services for some of the students in her classroom. It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for her. Amal has been a pleasure to work with. She is passionate about the children in her care. Her passion for the children in her care is evident as you walk into her room. When the children walk in the room, they know a morning hug from Amal is a given. Her energy is infectious, she keeps the children engaged in age-appropriate activities and her classroom is a place where all children enjoy being. When her children move on to other classrooms, they often come back to Amal’s classroom to visit her regularly. I admire how Amal is receptive to suggestions from others and how she constantly seeks insight on how to reach the children in her care. I recommend Amal for a Nanny position. Amal will be an asset in whatever capacity that she serves children. Their lives' will be enriched by her care.”

“I am pleased to recommend Amal, whom I have known professionally for five years. Amal has consistently demonstrated the ability to work wonders with the children in her classroom, especially those with behavior problems. She is a very creative, competent and talented young woman that is dedicated to her work with children. She has a great sense of humor, energy and is always encouraging and motivating her students to do their best. Amal is truly an outstanding individual.”
