We Paid $7,597 for a Nanny Who Lied, Damaged Our Property, and Was Gone in a Week…read more Service: Full-Time Nanny/ House Manager Placement Fee Paid: $7,597 Placement Duration: 1 week Date: July 2025 This was my second time working with Olive You Nanny Milwaukee. The first time, it took them over three months to find a nanny -- far too long. I had to hire someone on my own just to return to school. Since I'd already paid a $500 deposit, I gave them a second chance after that nanny left for school herself. That's how we ended up here. We paid the full $7,597 fee. Within one week, the nanny they placed damaged our property and lied about it. We confirmed it on security footage and let her go immediately. The agency admitted the nanny didn't meet their own standards and promised to make things right. Instead of a refund, they offered two more candidates -- one ghosted us, and the other wanted a rate above our stated budget. We found a nanny on our own (again) and asked for a fair 80% refund. They refused -- offering just $3,000 only if we signed a non-disparagement agreement to keep quiet about our experience. They tried to buy my silence. Which makes you wonder -- how many other families have they silenced this way? Bottom Line: We paid nearly $8,000 for one week of broken trust, property damage, and zero accountability. Their "guarantee" doesn't offer real protection -- just more candidates, regardless of quality. Would I recommend them? No. Twice they failed us, and when given the chance to do the right thing, they chose legal loopholes and hush money. Cost vs. Value: $7,597 for one week of chaos and a gag offer. Families deserve better.

I haven't been here in quite a while, but I wanted to give them a shout out and say what I know…read moreabout them. I cannot do them justice since they have many programs here to help members of our community that I haven't worked with. I have volunteered here a few times when I was a student through UW-Milwaukee. I helped bag groceries to be handed out to members of the community who needed help. They work very hard to create a balanced bag nutritionally each time such as protein, breakfast items, meat/ eggs, fruits/ veg, dessert (if they have any), soup, pasta/ rice, and a few other types of items I'm forgetting. When they have fresh fruits and vegetables they place them out for people to pick from. They also let people pick out bread items. The number of bags people receive depends on family size. They also have baby food items for those who need them. I also organized personal cleaning supplies (keep the good stuff, throw out the bad/ expired, put out the smaller stuff for people to pick out for free when they came to pick up food, etc). I thought this was really nice of them to have available, many people looked through the baskets once I started filling them. The staff is very kind to those who come in needing assistance and try to help. The area I worked in was basic but clean. They treat the community members that need help with respect (I've seen orgs where they don't treat people very well, this is not one of those orgs!). Great place to help the local community and for people to receive assistance. I've only scratched the surface as to what this nonprofit does for the community, check out their website. Time/ money/ personal donations brought here are not wasted!

The owners and care givers are truly there for the children and love them like they are their own. Ashley and Mandy have been there since we dropped off our first baby at six weeks old and have now seen two more of our little ones come after. They put their all into the success of this center and are what have kept us with Little Bear. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for affordable childcare. There is a large outdoor play area as well as large indoor rooms for play. Meals and two snacks are also provided. There is not much more you can ask for.

They have a unique way of creating community and helping children build understanding and appreciate their differences. My daughter is incredibly expressive about her feelings and is always excited to go to school. Many other local centers hire glorified babysitters. Instead, I love that Primrose Brookfield employs qualified staff who deliver a comprehensive curriculum with care at the heart of it all. They communicate with transparency and we love the special events like recitals and picnics that bring the families together. We moved to Wisconsin from out of state, so it's been awesome creating connections and seeing so many friendships blossom. It's bittersweet to head off for Kindergarten, but we're happy to create space for another child and family to share in this enriching experience. We're proud to be a Primrose fam. I recommend them to any family seeking curriculum-based care in a welcoming and inclusive environment. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

As a parent, all aspects of Primrose are best in class - From the owner, staff, facility, focus on curriculum, and genuine care for families. Prior to opening, we had direct contact with the owner who made himself available to answer all our preliminary questions - He thoroughly explained the infant room experience, teaching model, and associated curriculum. Our needs, questions, and inquiries have all been met with utmost care. The leadership team and teaching staff go above and beyond to make sure our son has a great day, everyday - Further, that the parents are involved in a child's growth and learning journey. The attention to detail spans across all areas of this school - cleanliness, professionalism, communication, security, education, strong interpersonal leadership team, and the list goes on. We are greeted with a smile from the staff at pick up/drop. Our son has a personalized bottle bag, a specific drawer for his extra clothes and outerwear, and an assigned crib for only him serve as those added touches that stand out to us in a child care setting. Throughout each day while we are at work, we receive hourly updates inside the app tracking all aspects of our son's day that provides us such peace of mind. We love receiving the daily photos of our son playing, interacting, learning, singing, and socializing via the app as well. Each day, our son follows an expert-designed curriculum and a schedule that allows him to thrive. We receive direct, transparent, and professional communication from the owner and staff - The teachers go above and beyond to curate a wonderfully welcoming experience per the Primrose promise. The Primrose family is one we are grateful to be a part of - It has far exceeded our expectations. We look forward to seeing our son continue to grow and develop. This is truly a special place, with incredible people. We are very grateful and would recommend to anyone seeking a strong child care solution for their family.

The new management (Mason and his wife) is a married couple with kids who attend this same daycare - who can relate to many working parents. They are so kind and understanding and have made incredible changes (clean environment, new floors, new outdoor play area). Since my 1.5 year old started, he has been thriving, HAPPY, talking/babbling way more, and during drops off he is so smiley and so excited to see everyone. The staff is so wonderful. Hardworking, positive people who always have a smile on their faces. They send me real-time updates and pics and videos constantly and I couldn't be happier. The price is actually quite affordable and I cant say enough good things about Little Friends in Grafton. - From a happy parent who lives in the area and constantly worries about her kids and every little factor in their lives!

I called the center the beginning of May to make sure they had all the information needed for our son to start. I received a text message back from Brooke the owner, basically stating that somehow they overlooked our deposit and no longer could take our son.

All things aside we feel like we dodged a bullet sending our son there. If that is how Brooke runs her company that is not somewhere I would want my newborn being cared for.

Case workers at Mission does excellent job and respecting me being deaf, communicated with me in right fair way by writing down and spoke through the phone as translator into words, they had patience with me which is impressed and respectful.

I ran with my wife, and we've been looking for a way to pop our race cherries since we're informally training for a half marathon in August 2014. My sister actually told me about this because she registered her and her daughter for it. I planned to do day of registration because I was unsure of whether I wanted to commit to it if I wasn't sure how the weather would hold up. As it turned out, something came up and she was unable to go and was able to transfer her registration to me and my wife. Lucky us! The race started at 0900 and we got there around 820 to pick up our packets. Parking on the street was pretty plentiful, and we were able to drop our stuff back at the car and get back to the starting line at Cedar Creek Park with time to spare. The course is a 5K, which is 3.1 miles. It went straight for a mile, a right turn and straight for another mile, and the last mile was right turn, left turn, right turn, left turn. At 1.5 miles they handed out much appreciated water. The course was run on the street and through the beautiful neighborhoods of Cedarburg, under trees and over bridges. The streets were not completely blocked off however, and there were times when there were cars in the incoming lane driving past us. Seeing the finish lane was the greatest feeling, and did I mention? The weather did hold up. It was cloudy and 76 degrees for the race, and the sun came out afterwards. The finish line was the starting line, so we ended up back at the park for bagels, bananas and water provided by the volunteers. Starbucks and Noodles and Company were also on hand giving away Orange Refreshers and Macaroni and Cheese and Rice Krispies Treats. All racers were also entered into a raffle using their bib numbers and Mel ended up winning a tote bag and reusable Starbucks covered cup. The race coincides with the Cedarburg Strawberry Festival, which is a nice way to recover with carbs and junk food and to cool down those hard-working legs. Looking forward to coming back next year!
