I was very nervous just as any mother would be with someone else watching my children but every since my oldest was a newborn I’ve left them in good hands with Tonya. I just gave birth to my 3rd child and I will continue to work with her when she is available to keep my children. She teaches them, cares for them like family, and keeps us updated a long the way. Thanks Tonya! - Diamond
