Stephanie K. says, "Thank you for this opportunity to support Danielle Budge Hanrahan’s candidacy for this position. Danielle is an intelligent, ethical, and trustworthy individual with whom I have interacted in multiple settings, including professional and familial. During the past year
and a half, a time period that has challenged many people, she has proven herself to be energetic, innovative, and responsible. She stepped into the role as a nanny and private tutor for my twin six-year olds at the beginning of the pandemic, providing emotional reassurance, profound competency, and a lot of education and fun for my two little ones. I have come to know her as a dedicated and compassionate individual, and I believe she would be a true asset to your family.
I found Danielle on Care.com, and I am constantly grateful that I did. She came into my home—following all safety protocols—armed with a mixture of her own curriculum and our school’s guidelines for remote learning. She found a way to make learning fun for my kids, who were already weary of remote learning, and she reinforced our decision to keep them at home for the school year by understanding the material they were being taught, demonstrating technical aptitude, and explaining the lessons in a customized way that worked best for each child, a kinesthetic and visual learner, respectively.
On a personal level, Danielle is one of the few people with whom I trust my twins and, as the pandemic restrictions eased, their friends and little cousin. She is sweet and patient, yet she is also disciplined and strict, a balance I appreciate and try to emulate. She also drives my kids to lessons, initiates and plans field trips, and infuses all that she does with enthusiasm, safety, and tidbits of information cleverly hidden in anecdotes, jokes, and songs.
My kids trust and adore Danielle, as do I, and I am very grateful to have gotten to know her and her husband over this past year: They are amazing people who are guided by principles of love and generosity. This insight into her personality, coupled with my knowledge of her determination, creativity, and experience, enables me to support her candidacy wholeheartedly. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
