"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."

"Courtney currently takes care of our two girls (3 years and 7 months) and has for the last two months. Our daughters ADORE Courtney — they both warmed to her quickly and get so excited when she walks through the door every morning.
Courtney oversees all care for our girls — food prep, meals, playtime, naps. She is super communicative and such a joy to work with. She’s creative and has so much energy, always coming up with new ways to entertain and help with our girls’ development. We cannot recommend Courtney highly enough!"
