“Dear Perspective Family,
It is with deep gratitude and complete confidence that we recommend Deb Scribner as an exceptional
nanny and caregiver.
Deb has been with our family since August 2022, and quite simply, she has been one of the most
impactful people in our lives during this season. As a household with two working parents—both
operating full-time in corporate roles from home—our days are fast-paced, demanding, and often
overlapping between meetings, deadlines, and the needs of a growing child. Navigating that dynamic
requires not just childcare, but a true partner in the home. Deb has been exactly that.
From the very beginning, Deb has provided outstanding care for our son. She is reliable, consistent, and
incredibly thoughtful in how she approaches each day. Beyond meeting his basic needs, she has actively
contributed to his growth and development—supporting his preschool homeschooling journey and
teaching him foundational skills that will serve him for years to come. Her ability to balance structure,
creativity, and warmth has made a lasting impression on him.
What sets Deb apart is the way she seamlessly integrates into the rhythm of family life. She is proactive
in coordinating schedules and planning ahead—whether it’s helping us prepare for vacations or ensuring
continuity during busy work seasons. She has also gone well beyond traditional nanny responsibilities,
caring for our home in ways that have brought us immense peace of mind—from tending to our garden
and chickens to embracing the joyful chaos of our energetic dog.
More importantly, Deb has cared for our family as a whole. She has supported us through illness,
surgeries, and the emotional complexities that come with early parenthood—postpartum challenges,
mom guilt, and the many transitions that working parents face. She brings wisdom, calm, and genuine
compassion in moments when it matters most. There is a steadiness about her that cannot be taught,
and it has been invaluable to us.
We can say with complete honesty that we could not have navigated this chapter of life without her.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Deb as part of their home. She is trustworthy, nurturing,
capable, and deeply invested in the well-being of the families she serves.
If you are looking for someone who will not only care for your children but truly support your entire family,
we wholeheartedly recommend Deb Scribner.
Warmly,
Ryan and Brianna Schaaf”

I have extensive experience in caregiving and providing support to others.
