Employer comments
My name is Amber Fortier, and yes - we hired Tholakele M to work as our full time nanny from April 2012 through December 2017, and the only reason she is not still with us is because we emigrated to the UK. Tolly, as we affectionately all call her, was my right hand woman and became an integral part of our family. She helped me raise my 3 young children, beginning as our nanny when my eldest was only 9 months old and helping me through my second and third pregnancies. She would do all manner of caring for our children - feeding, bathing, playing with, taking them out for play dates and trips to the beach. Very often we would all be together, but I felt completely confident to leave her on her own with my babies if I needed to run errands, which I often did. Tolly would also clean and prep food if I asked her, always to a high standard, and one of the things I always appreciated about her is that she was willing and wanted to learn - if she did a task that I wanted to be done a different way, or perhaps more thoroughly, I could easily speak to her about it and show her what I would ideally like, and she was happy to receive the instruction and did her best to improve the outcome. Tolly is kind, generous, honest, loving - and perhaps most important from my children’s perspective - she is fun, always willing to have a tickle fight and a laugh. Not only was she a critical help to me in caring for 3 little ones and running a house, she brought so much joy into our lives! I miss her dearly, and would like to say that anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her as their nanny! If anyone would like to contact me directly for a phone conversation to ask more questions, I will be very happy to provide answers, as Tolly is simply the best in my eyes.
