Meet Madam Marie Lourdes!!!
Madam Marie Lourdes is so precious to the CH family. People
might think of her as a stern and serious-natured woman but that assumption
goes out the door as soon as you hear Madam Marie Lourdes laugh and sit down
with her as she tells jokes. She has a heart of gold and loves these children
fiercely.
Madam Marie Lourdes is originally from the capital of Haiti,
Port-Au-Prince. She has four children of her own, of whom she is extremely
proud of! She has two daughters and two sons, and two of her children are now
married and starting families of their own. Madam Marie Lourdes has been
working as a nanny for Children’s Hope for almost three years now. She is the
nanny for 8 boys: Mykerson, James, Luckner, Jean Phylippe, Yvelt, Junior,
Dovensky, and Guichard. The little ones keep her on her toes, but Luckner and
Jean Phylippe love to help Madam Marie Lourdes out with entertaining them!
Favorite Colors: Blue and White
Favorite Food: “All food is delicious!”
Madam Marie Lourdes says that she loves this job so much
because she loves these kids so deeply – “It’s like having a bunch of
grandkids!” She explains that this job would be impossible for someone who does
not genuinely love these children. “When you love these kids, you are able to
show patience towards them in all times.”
She loves playing games with them and singing songs with
them. She even has specific songs for some of the baby boys that everyone
knows! She makes the boys go outside and run and play. Marie Lourdes wants all
of these boys to be able to one day finish school and being able to take care
of themselves. She sees her role as a nanny as a way to empower them and to
make this wish for them become a reality.
I asked Madam Marie Lourdes, and this was her response: “As long as I am in the Hands of God, I’m
good.”
