"I'd recommend Jayna without hesitation.
She looked after our daughter, and Ella clearly had a good time with her. She's warm, engaged, and easy to trust with a toddler.
What stood out most was how accommodating she was and how she goes beyond the basics. Rather than just keeping an eye on Ella, she added value to the role in a way that made us feel well taken care of too.
If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and generous with her time, Jayna is an excellent choice."

"“Honey” (Alexandria) is the best! We adore her. She is so fun, always singing, dancing and brings thoughtful toys and activities for the kids based on their interests. She is very reliable, always on time and follows schedules well. It’s clear that she is truly enjoying her time as a babysitter and it’s not just a job for her. I was forced to choose an end date for this review but hopefully we can continue to use her for many years to come!"

"Joia is a wonderful person and an excellent nanny. My children loved spending time with her. She is not just a nanny but also an educator at heart and she kept them both entertained and enriched. She cheered them up when they didn’t want to leave Mama’s side, made them laugh, and was loving but firm and consistent with discipline. She is a good communicator, honest, transparent, and down to earth. I would not hesitate to recommend her."
