One year ago, one of our most beloved nannies, Marisa Ledesma-Henry, passed away. Marisa – or “Reesa” as she liked to be called – worked with A New England Nanny for more than 15 years.
Reesa was caring, professional, experienced, and always put the children first. She also worked in our temporary program, working with families when they needed back-up care. She also enjoyed her time pet sitting and loved to care for the furry family members whenever she had availability.
Reesa shared her joy of teaching and was able to show children how to grow through play, and worked with them using age-appropriate engaging activities. She was also fluent in Spanish, participated in theater productions, enjoyed traveling, and had a strong love for children and animals.
Reesa will be remembered for all she brought to our agency and to the lives of our families. We feel so lucky that she chose to work with us!
To honor her memory, A New England Nanny is announcing an annual scholarship in her name, to be presented each year to two of our most deserving nannies.
This scholarship includes a membership in the International Nanny Association (INA), a global organization dedicated to the in-home child care industry by providing information, education, and guidance to the public and to industry professionals. They offer a wealth of resources for nannies to help them grow in their profession and become even better at their careers.
