Meet Madam Claudia!!!

Madam Claudia is one of a kind. She is fierce, spunky, kind, gentle, full of life, and full of love. She is responsible and levelheaded yet overflowing with energy. Madam Claudia is a consistent, loyal friend and a determined, God-fearing caretaker.

Madam Claudia was born in Port-au-Prince and moved to Jacmel in 2005. She now lives with her cousin here in Jacmel and has two brothers and three sisters. She has been working at Children’s Hope since 2015. She is a nanny for 8 boys here at CH, and she has her hands full! Little Jerry (who has been attached to Claudia’s hip since day one), Isaac, Frisson, Rene, Lovengy, Florvengy, Lovensky, and Nesly are blessed beyond measure to call Madam Claudia their nanny. Claudia is also in charge of the Clothing Depot, which she has wonderfully organized. When a child needs some new clothes or a new pair of sandals, his or her nanny comes to Madam Claudia so she can get what the child needs from the depot.

“I love these kids because they are God’s children, and He commands us to love one another. God is the one who gives me the strength to never become discouraged in loving others.”

Madam Claudia can always be found on the soccer field running around with the boys or sitting on the front porch of their house making the boys roll over laughing with her jokes. Needless to say, she is so very loved by each boy in her house and looked up to by each child at CH.

She is a killer jump roper, a dedicated friend, a skilled soccer player, and a loving nanny. Children’s Hope has become a brighter place from the moment Madam Claudia began working here. We are so thankful for her leadership and never-ending love for the most well deserving children. We LOVE Madam Claudia and the joy she brings!

Prayer Request: Pray for Madam Claudia’s spiritual life to constantly grow and be strengthened. Pray for her to experience a connection to God in newer depths as she continues to grow in her faith. Pray for the potential of Madam Claudia to one day get married and have a family of her own.
