"My name is Cynthia, and I am contacting you to provide a positive reference for Renada Bertram. Renada has babysat my 18-month old daughter, Lia, several times over the last few months. I can't say enough good things about her! Lia was a true COVID baby, being born two-weeks before lockdowns started. She lived in a bubble for a whole year and it was difficult to find people to leave her with once we started to feel comfortable seeking out childcare. When we met Renada, we really liked how professional she was and how sensitive she was to COVID. The first night we left Lia with her, she didn't cry and she wasn't upset at all. That was huge for us because Lia is extremely weary of people and lets us know when she doesn't like someone. Since then, we have used Renada several times. Lia is always a happy camper when we come home (or sound asleep, which is also good). Renada has been great about checking in when needed while we are out, and she seems to just genuinely love children and spending time with Lia. She is also very responsive when we reach out to see if she is available, and incredibly punctual."

"I really wish Renada was back here! I do not trust people watching my kids at all and she's really the only person that I know that would treat my kids like her own and take really good care of them without me having to worry about them at all!"

"Renada Bertram watched my son, Marlon, during the covid pandemic. We were extremely worried about covid precautions and Renada was so careful. She was consistently masked, open about any potential exposures and we felt totally comfortable she was safe with our baby.
Renada has a very sweet personality. She is friendly, warm and always smiling. Marlon had never been watched by anyone before and took to Renada immediately. He enjoyed when she would come to watch him. She was also always on time, very reliable, and stayed in contact with me while watching Marlon. I tend to be very nervous and Renada would check in with texts, updates and photos which helped me relax.
Renada was very interactive with and focused on Marlon. She sung to him, talked to him constantly, and played games with him. We felt very lucky to have Renada watching Marlon and would have her watch him again any time.
I would recommend Renada without reservation."

"So first of all, I just have to say I am incredibly jealous at your prospect of having Renada’s shining presence in your home to help care for your family.
Renada worked with my disabled son for over a year prior to her leave from Rochester. She is an absolute gem, and you should hire her immediately. Wyatt still speaks of her and can’t wait for her to come and visit. She is one of the kindest, sweetest souls I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She is prompt, communicative, and truly seeks to create a loving and supportive environment for the folks she works with. We miss her terribly!"

"The following is a recommendation for Renada Bertram for child care.
Renada worked with my son with lots of needs in an excellent manner. My son needs a lot of attention and she provided all he needed. She was always positive, engaging, reliable, and supportive both to my son and our family.
She accommodated my son's requests and structured his time to help him develop social skills, follow directions, and always had fun.
My son and I would highly recommend Renada Bertram to support any child. She listened to what he needed from him and myself as a parent and was excellent with communication and addressing his needs.
Good luck in your experience with her. She will be a resource for you and your children. "
