"Misty is our current nanny. Misty is our family.
She has been with us for five years, and I say “us”, because not only does she take care of my children, but she holds our entire family unit together! We have extremely busy schedules with work, several sports, speech therapy, school, all the life things, and she juggles it all better than we do!
She has been a godsend to us and we could never imagine life without her. She is a dream come true for any family.
My kids thrive with her as she is extremely nurturing with both of them. My son has feeding and speech issues and she continues to be very patient and empathetic with him.
She and my five year old daughter are the best of friends and they play aaallllll day long.
On weekends all I hear is, “I miss ‘teetee’” - our given name for Misty.
FAMILIES - don’t let Misty pass you by! We are only willing to part with her a little as our youngest ventures onto kindergarten! 😊

"We were fortunate to discover a person so genuine, caring, and passionate about children as Nisa. She cared for our 3 children from ages 3, 1, and new born until they were 9, 7, and 5. She has a natural gift for relating to children and making them feel comfortable, safe and loved. Nisa has the rare ability to make meaningful connections with the children she watches. Nisa has left a loving mark in our children’s lives and we will be forever grateful for the time she spent with them. It isn’t always easy to leave your children in the hands of others, however knowing they were in Nisa’s care made all our concerns and fears vanish. She is truly a blessing!"

"I am pleased to recommend Emily. While I have not yet used her as a nanny for my child, I have relied on her for multiple roles including house-sitting, pet care, and administrative support, and she has consistently exceeded expectations.
She is highly attentive to detail, often catching things I would have overlooked. With animals, she is caring, gentle, and loving, always keeping me updated with photos and quick responses so I have peace of mind while away. She is flexible, reliable, and very reasonable in terms of her rates, and she shows a genuine willingness to adapt to a family’s specific needs.
Based on my experience, I am confident she would bring the same level of responsibility, warmth, and attentiveness to any family she works with.
Sincerely,
Jo"
