“I can not say enough great things about this company and Karen. To say they worked hard on our behalf is an understatement. They went above and beyond. Always compassionate, empathetic and understanding. Finding a nanny for your child is stressful, but I had full confidence in this company and I could not be happier with the choice. Even after parting with our Nanny, Karen was still there by our side walking us through the next steps. Loved the commitment and professionalism! I could not recommend this company and Karen more.”
