"My baby loved her! She was great with him, always looking after him.
She played with him and helped with his early stimulation exercises so he could crawl and start with the baby steps.
Also helped with the complimentary feeding and all the transitions from purees to bite size food. Thanks Sharon!"

"Tessa was the best thing to happen to our family during the COVID-19.
We had initially planned to put our 4 month old into daycare, but when they closed down during the early days of the pandemic we had to change our plans. Friends of ours were already working with Tessa, and we joined them in a nanny share arrangement. Our daughter absolutely thrived under Tessa’s care - and we credit all of her early milestones to Tessa’s nurturing and support (setting a regular nap schedule, crawling, mastering solid food, walking, climbing, etc.) Tessa gets the balance between structure and playfulness just right - kids learn what to expect with her and that they are safe to explore, learn and have fun. Even now, years later, our daughter speaks of Tessa with love and joy - and looks forward to seeing her when we can. Our family trusts her without reservation, and would call on her in any family emergency and know that she would find a way to be there for us in a time of need."

"Tanja expertly cared for my twin daughters full time from ages 1.5-2.5, and then after school until age 3.
Tanja is always calm, reliable, organized, and responsible. She is gentle, patient, and nurturing with the children. I have always admired how Tanja balanced fun with structure, and helped to foster both their independence and their social life. She made excellent use of local parks and cultural offerings, holding outdoor playdates and picnics through the pandemic and arts and crafts projects when the weather didn’t allow for outdoor time. Tanja is also a wonderful cook and fed my girls healthful home-cooked meals. She is responsive and respectful, and she was always willing and available to come early or stay late if we needed her. She was also tremendously helpful when my third daughter was born. She was loving and calm with my newborn and she would make a great night nurse. She is a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend her."

"Nikisha is amazing. She is caring, compassionate and patient. She also happens to be super organized and great at repairing ALL SORTS of things. While she was with our family she was truly mom #2. My daughter absolutely loves her, and still regularly tells me that Nikisha explains homework better than anyone else. :-)
She doesn’t chat on her phone, ignore your children or watch the clock—she is the total opposite of that! Taking your children out for walks to look for fairies, making homemade posters and helping your child grow as a person will be the norm. If you are looking for a nanny who will become part of your family and care for your child(ren) the way you do, than Nikisha is the one. She truly is wonderful."
