Silvia is warm, honest, trustworthy, authentic. The biggest thing is her energy - she has positive energy, and she gives that to the kids. She reads that really well, she reads their energy and reacts to it. She understands there is an emotional part of raising kids, the social emotional part. That's one of her strengths. She gets that that's an important part of a child to raise and to bring out and to nurture just as much as teaching them numbers and letters.

She is a nurturing person, a caring person, that's what make her a great nanny (but you know, we need that as adults as well). She taught the kids kindness, how to be responsible with their things, how to treat others. As a nanny she was a joy to see everyday. As she came in, it was a breath of fresh air, something to lighten the mood. The kids adore her.

I love Silvia's critical eye, She sees me very clearly. All that she sees in me and says to me is about wanting to grow me, support me to be the best I can be. When I think about Silvia and kids I think about her desire for them to have a genuine attachment, to be seen with a positive regard. All of her interaction with them is with that in mind. It's her mission to support their parents to see them and value them in that way.

Silvia recognizes that courage is important, that staying the same and doing the same things that you've always done isn't always a good idea when you are trying to grow and change and be different, that you need to try new things, be open to coaching even if it hurts. She has a sense of responsibility to treat the kids as a person. I think that's rare among people that work with children. She holds them as a whole and complete person and she uses that as an opportunity to grow. I think that's really really unique.
