Featured Nannies

Lesly is a very sweet and caring woman. She has been a nanny for over 10 years and loves it! She is originally from Honduras, but has been living in Houston for the past 15 years. Her hobbies include anything athletic; she loves football, basketball and soccer. One reference stated that "One cannot overestimate the value of a nanny that can act as a mentor for a young person who is unconsciously learning all the time." Lesly is fluent in Spanish and really loves to teach the children the language.

Heat and Eat Dinners

Many people don't necessarily need more things, but would instead appreciate some home-cooked meals. A great gift idea is to prepare and freeze complete meals in microwavable containers and deliver them with hand-made notes or labels! This is particularly great for seniors, new moms, or for families that are having a hard time making ends meet. What a personal and thoughtful gift in this busy holiday season!
