“We made the decision to transition our daughter from daycare to a nanny due to frequent illness. It was a difficult decision as we loved her daycare and caregivers, and we knew NOTHING about the process of hiring a nanny. The First Milestones Team guided us seamlessly through the process. From defining our job requirements, to documenting the relationship and connecting to an organization to help with payroll, we were supported throughout. The team was thorough and responsive, gathering and incorporating our feedback throughout the process. When we found our nanny, but our daughter struggled with the transition due to separation anxiety from Mom + Dad, The First Milestones Team was quick to offer ideas and suggestions to help us support her with viewing her nanny as a trusted friend and caregiver. We are so grateful - our nanny has become another member of the family. She has been a huge asset to our household, and it’s been a joy to watch her establish a deep and meaningful relationship with our daughter. It would not have been possible without The First Milestones!!”
