Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Margina Manal provided the finest care for our mother for the last three and a half years of her life. Margina was more than competent, kind, energetic, innovative, compassionate, and absolutely reliable and devoted to providing the best possible care. In short, she is a gem. She was responsible for all aspects of my mother's daily care including bathing, cooking and feeding, exercise, laundry, and companionship. Margina was fully engaged in her responsibilities as my mother's primary caregiver. For example, recognizing that my mother enjoyed being outdoors, being in her garden, ensured that outdoor activities were a large component of every day's programme, weather permitting. She encouraged (successfully) my mother to continue reading and engaged her in a variety of cognitive excercises and stimuli and through encouragement, made it possible for my mother to walk again after surgery; the surgeon had said she would never walk again! Margina is an honest person, deeply loyal and conscientious. What more could a family want in a caregiver?

We had the pleasure of having Margina as part of our family for 3 years. During that time, she nurtured our 2 daughters and treated like her own. She was very responsible and made sure that the girls were well looked after. She organized play dates so the girls can have social interactions. Our girls are now older but they still talk about all the fun things they used to do with her. She helped teach them how to read and write. She was much more than a caregiver; she was a part of our family. She takes her responsibility very seriously and Margina would a great addition to your family.

Margina Manal is very hard working, warm, caring worker. She was with our family for 3.5 years, and we cannot imagine having anyone other than her. She was the best possible person for the position.
