RECOMMENDATIONS AND REVIEWS

Sarah Gavin, Mom

"I am writing this letter to rave about Grace Hathcock and her childcare skills. My husband and I were lucky enough to have been recommended to Grace by a friend after we had gone through multiple nannies/sitters who were unreliable, flaky, and untrustworthy. Enter Grace..

Grace and my daughter (who was 8 months old at the time) took to each other extremely quickly. She was always engaged with my daughter, bringing crafts, music and activities each day she was here. She is dependable, a great communicator, and extremely trustworthy. You can tell she has a lot of experience, even with her younger age, that she brings to work every single day. She even showed me some tricks as a new mother, which I was extremely grateful for.

Anyone who hires her to watch their children is lucky to have her."

“Grace is an amazing caretaker who always puts the children first, she is very responsible and caring. We instantly had a connection after meeting her and so did our son. She gained trust in us and always kept communication as well as created such a strong bond with the children. Watching they way she interacts with children of all ages really amazed me.She would be a great nanny/care taker.”

From My Early Childcare Education Teacher at Flagstaff High:

“Grace’s work habits and attitude in class are exceptional, she leads by example and contributes to classroom discussion. As part of the Early Childhood curriculum our students are required to complete lab hours in the childcare lab. I was very impressed when Grace made arrangements with the director of the childcare lab to be able to go in and earn extra hours each day in order to complete the hours needed sooner than expected.

I would recommend Grace for any type of employment, as she is a fast learner and a great team player. She is positive with her interactions with others, and very responsible to get any missing work when she is not in class.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly with any additional questions.

Thanks,

My name is Maia Dee and I am writing this letter to recommend Grace Hathcock for a childcare or nanny position. I worked with Grace for approximately 6 months at The Strauss ECE in the young infant room. I am the lead teacher of the room and the trainer/mentor teacher for the Strauss infant program.

I found Grace to be experienced and knowledgeable in the developmental needs of young children. She has been educated in the learning domains and age appropriate activities for small children and incorporates this knowledge in her daily interactions with children. She is sensitive to the needs of children and acknowledges them as individuals. Grace showed herself to be reliable, dependable, and of good character. From my observations, she genuinely enjoyed caring for and interacting with infants and young children. She is creative and resourceful in her interactions with children and demonstrates patience and a warm, loving manner.

Please feel free to contact me if you have a question regarding Grace as a childcare provider/nanny.

Sincerely,

Maia Dee

Reference Letter From Amanda Kristinat, Owner of The White Rabbit Tea Lounge + Coding Camp Initiative where I helped out as a mentor

To Whom It May Concern:

I have known Grace Hathcock for six years, and I am happy to be writing a reference for her. I have worked with Grace is two capacities. First, Grace was my assistant for two summers of FLG Kinder Coding Camp. The second I hired her as a Tearista (barista) in my tea shop.

Grace is a delight to work with and her work dedicated ethic is refreshing. She consistently showed enthusiasm, attention to detail, and compassion in everything she did. In both capacities Grace was engaged and always willing to go the extra distance to make sure her work was of the highest quality. Grace was my top sales person, great with customers, and the number one drink maker.

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of seeing Grace grow from a middle school student into a wonderful young woman. I have the utmost confidence in her judgment, maturity, and felt comfortable leaving my shop in her under her supervision.

I believe Grace to be a very capable young woman with the capacity to work as a team or individually. She brings her patience and empathy, as well as her charisma to everything she does. I believe her experience and passion will make her an ideal candidate for any position.

If I can answer any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 928-225-5253 or amanda@fxyboxco.com.

Sincerely,

Amanda Kristinat
