While she attended St. Mary’s College to become a Paralegal, Diane lived with my wife and me in our home in Orinda, CA. It became readily apparent to us that Diane was bilingual in French and English. Her English grammar and pronunciation were excellent. I might add that Diane has an ideal personality to be an interpreter. She is naturally interested in people. She would be completely at home conversing in French or English in almost any field I can think of.

Excellent translation. Responded professionally & kindly to a 1/2 crazed (me) client, pressured by a deadline that had life impacting consequences! Thank you. Satisfactory rating by native speaker of the target language. The Consul General thought that translating the company names went a bit far but accepted all translated materials without other comment. Excellent responsiveness.

am a bilingual attorney and I have been practicing law in California since 1984. Even though I have lived in the United States since childhood, French is my native language and I read it, speak it and understand it fluently. In September of 1993, French clients of mine came to San Diego to participate as a party in a binding arbitration proceeding. I needed the services of a professional interpreter to interpret during these complex and delicate proceedings. We requested the services of Diane Goullard who was able to assist us on very short notice. As one of the attorneys in this proceeding I had the opportunity to observe Diane Goullard interpret simultaneously for the parties. She interpreted for several days, 8 hours each day into this matter on very short notice and with no opportunity to prepare herself for the topics which were being discussed. Her style and demeanor were most professional. I was impressed with her abilities. I can attest to the accuracy and competence with which she interpreted throughout the entire proceeding. I would definitely use and feel very comfortable highly recommending Diane Goullard’s services on any occasion where simultaneous or consecutive interpretation is required.

You express feeling, understanding and diplomacy–rather than just words. You have been a part of an extremely vital set of episodes in several of our lives and our business. I thank you very much.

Dear Mr. To [Diane’s Manager], Thank you for allowing me to send this gift for Diane Goullard Parlante…One of our priests passed away and his family lives in…France. None of them speak English therefore, I was in need of a translator. I feel extremely blessed to have gotten Diane. Diane saw me through this trying time (many, many calls) and it is not over yet. She is fantastic and I can’t say enough good things about her nor can this small gift repay her for all she has done. It is very comforting to know that your company has people like Diane to help those of us who are in need of “Diane’s”. Again, thank you very much, and may God bless you.

[…] Diane has distinguished herself as an excellent communicator, both in verbal and written format. […] Diane demonstrates a genuine intellectual curiosity that is often accompanied by her excitement for an idea, author, literary work, or new topic to be discovered and researched. She seeks truth in each and every area of her life, whether in learning, discussing, philosophy, or relating to people. Always, in her work and personal endeavors, Diane is enthusiastic, consistent and a pleasure to be around. She has incredible creative energies with attention to detail. I would highly recommend Diane for any position of work, leadership, education, or any other capacity in which she can spread her excitement and share her talents with others.

[…] For three days, practically non-stop, Diane Goullard performed her task with ease, professionalism, a sense of humor when needed and a willingness to provide the very best of services. After the second day of interviews, one of the French officers took me aside and commented how impressed he was with the work provided by Mrs. Goullard. After the third day, the interviews were ended and Mrs. Goullard’s services were no longer needed. Judge Z. congratulated Mrs. Goullard on her excellent work and expressed his gratitude for her having facilitated an already difficult task of melding two very different judicial procedures, i.e., French and American. I believe Mrs. Goullard made an outstanding contribution to this difficult investigation and it is my recommendation that she be considered on future occasions when translation or simultaneous translations are needed.

House and pet sitting Ollie, a Ragdoll cat

“We are very pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Diane Goullard. Diane has worked for us on several occasions as a pet sitter for our very social and attached ragdoll cat. We would recommend Diane to anyone who is looking for reliable and kind person to care for their pets. We absolutely trust her with our cat, who was just a kitten when they met. She has been willing to stay with him in our home for weekends and even 1-2 weeklong vacations. We have a peace of mind knowing that our fur baby and our home are in good hands. She truly cares about animals and their well-being.

Our cat loves to spend time with Diane. He has come to look forward to seeing her and makes leaving him a bit easier on us. It’s a joy to receive daily pictures of him playing, cuddling, being brushed, and getting all of his needs met. We also appreciate Diane’s willingness to take care of our home while we are away, such as tending to our plants, bringing in packages and trash cans and keeping us in the loop of people who stop by for various home services.

Diane is a very nice person to know and very good at what she does. She has become an integral part of our family. We believe that Diane would be a tremendous asset to anyone needing pet care.”

House and pet sitting Dottie, a German Longhaired Pointer

“Diane was a fabulous house-sitter. Incredibly nice trustworthy person who looked after both Dotty and the house really well. We all loved her! We 100% recommend her to any other pet owner looking for a reliable housesitter. Organized. Reliable. Self-sufficient. Tidy.”

Sitting for this Family was like visiting loved relatives. Nothing short of wonderful. Hospitable. Communicative. Kind. Fun. Neat. Talented. Active. The indoor Dottie was a sweetheart, cuddling, minding, no barking, responsive–on the outdoors, ouhlala! Powerful, curious, a rocket :-). Hope to visit again this extraordinary family. Thank you for the opportunity.”

House and pet sitting Gracie, an Australian Shepherd puppy

“Pet sitting for our new puppy I thought was going to be a challenge. Since she was too young for commercial boarding (the trip was planned before we got the dog), I was very limited in my options. When I found Frenchie, I didn’t need other options. She and my new puppy got along famously. She paid great attention to detail and sent updates to keep me calm about having left my new “baby”. I have complete confidence in her ability to care for Gracie just as I would.”

House/pet sitting Makana (The Gift, in Hawaïan), Cavalier King-Charles dog

“Diane took care of our house and dog for a month, and I think it was a great experience for all of us! While I was gone, she sent me lots of texts and pictures of our dog and really kept up with all they were doing. She was not afraid to ask or double check if there was something she wasn’t sure about. She fit right into the neighborhood, tutoring French to the neighbor girls and volunteering at some events in town. When my flight was delayed, she was able to stay an extra night no problem. And it was so great when I got home to walk into a clean house and a happy dog. I could see he was well cared for and that she had been brushing and walking him and really enjoying his company. I think it was a real win-win for all of us! Thanks Frenchie! Organized, reliable, self-sufficient, tidy.”

House and pet sitting for Shinubi, a Shiba-Inu dog

“To Whom It May Concern: I engaged Diane, aka “Frenchie”, as my house and pet sitter for one week during the summer of 2017. Diane was courteous, respectful, trustworthy and very mindful of my pet’s well-being. When I returned home from my trip, I found my home to be in order and my dog was healthy and well cared for. I would recommend Diane for any similar position.”

House and pet sitting for two cats

“Diane house sat for us four or five times over the past couple of years. She has been responsible for checking the pool for problems, bringing in the mail, watering plants, and, especially, taking care of our two kitties. She is diligent, mature, reliable and personable. She cares genuinely about the animals and her responsibilities. When we leave, we feel secure that she is at the helm and will communicate any concerns right away. Highly recommended. Organized, reliable, self-sufficient, tidy.”

House and pet sitting two cats, and personal assistance

“Diane came to France to house sit for me while I was hospitalized for a month. I was very happy for the help as I was very concerned at having to leave my two cats in a cattery for such a long time. Diane was well suited for this as she is a native French speaker. She was more able to converse with neighbors, tradesmen, and even medical personnel at the hospital than I was. She kindly informed my family and friends of my condition after my surgery. Diane is very organized, and tidy. Organized, reliable, self-sufficient, tidy.”
