recommended to us and did not disappoint. She cared for our two toddlers, cleaned, did laundry, ironed, and complet-

ed any task we asked of her. Her care for our toddlers was exceptional. She was attentive, loving, caring, patient, kind,

yet firm when she needed to be. She was dedicated to any special requests we asked of her regarding our children and

Marcia Ellington - During the last two years, Marcia has done a wonderful job caring for our three-year-old son. We especially love that she reads to him for hours, keeping up with his limitless requests. She also does other activities with him including painting and other types of play. She has been very flexible, often agreeing to stay late with just a few hours notice. Our son has been very comfortable in her care and will surely miss her when we depart. Marcia also keeps our house clean and tidy; her cleaning standards are impeccable. She always sees tasks to be done even before we mention them. Having worked for US Embassy families for the last eight years, she is familiar with security pro-cedures and can help coordinate repairs when needed. We will be sad to part ways with her in late July, when she will be looking for full-time work. Marcia can be reached at 876 451 0949. Feel free to email me for further recom-mendation at rkebede (at) gmail.com.

Mr. Ezekiel Grey was our gardener for almost 3 years. He is amazing, respectful and extremely reliable. We never had any pests and he turned our barren backyard into a garden filled with basil, pineapple and gungo peas. He would swing our kids on the swing and do other small projects around the house and even helped with our final cleaning. I hope to find Mr. Grey a new home to work for and I hope you love him as much as we did. His contact number is: 390-7649. Feel free to contact me for any questions: [email protected]

Ann Davis Brown is an outstanding nanny who has been with our family for the last three years. She has a work ethic and proactive nature as great as any we have witnessed. She anticipates and assesses situations with a level of thoughtfulness and conscientiousness required to take the nanny role to a level beyond. She challenges herself to un-derstand children and always searches for fun, educational, and age appropriate activities to help to develop and teach our child. She helped arrange playdates and outings and took our toddler to swimming classes and similar activi-ties. She also assisted around the house. Ann travelled with us on vacations both in the Jamaica and the United States and had complete responsibility for our daughter when we took weekend trips around the island.

Ann is a certified practical nurse and has completed first aid and food hygiene courses. She has previously worked for other US embassy families and, during our entire tour, she was an integral part of our lives – a solid partner in caring for our child. She ensured a safe and nurturing environment in which our child thrived. Ann can be reached at 876-569-3974.
