I waited through a list of 8 people and when I got to the top i was randomly dropped to number 5 again. I waited again. the third time i was at the top, I went to the adoption center they said my name was nowhere on the list at all. it went on and on! I was there for 2 hours of this. I know that you are underfunded but really--why is this so bizarrely inept and broken? Just make a PAPER LIST and call us, like a restaurant hostess would do. We didn't adopt, but we will from a good organization. And the place we adopt from will also receive our donation money.

A couple of years ago when I was traveling out of town on business, I got a frantic call from my…read morewife that our dog had gotten out of our yard and was nowhere to be found. I was in a pretty helpless position as I was not due to be home for several days. My son came up with a great idea and checked online to see if our dog had been found and turned in to the RASKC. Sure enough, she was there. My wife went down the next morning, paid the fee and picked her up. She had been well treated, and we are very thankful that they found her and gave her a good safe place until we could come get her. My son said that she was so excited to see him. She cried and whined, and fell asleep in his arms in the car. Thank you very much

As first-time parents, finding a nanny for our 3-month-old daughter so I could return to work felt…read moreincredibly nerve-racking and daunting. From our very first conversation, Kelly, the founder of Evergreen Nannies, was professional, thoughtful, and truly understood how important this decision was for our family. She took the time to learn what we were looking for, especially our desire for someone who could commit long-term to provide consistent, stable care. Kelly handled the entire process seamlessly, coordinating interviews, conducting background and reference checks, and helping us create a contract that felt fair and comfortable for everyone involved. She made us feel fully supported and heard every step of the way.  We met with several nannies on our own during the process, but ultimately, the nanny that Kelly matched us with (Nanny Dawn) felt like the strongest and most natural fit for our family. Dawn has been wonderful and quickly became like a member of the family. She is warm, dependable, fun, and such a loving, steady presence in our daughter's life. As an added bonus, she even lives within walking distance from our home! We're so grateful for Kelly's guidance and expert nanny-matching skills and would highly recommend her nanny agency to any parents out there searching for high-quality, supportive childcare for their little ones.

After a difficult experience with our previous nanny from another agency, we were understandably…read morenervous about starting the search again--especially as first time parents and with our daughter being just 6 months old at the time. From the very first conversation, Evergreen Nannies put our minds at ease. They were professional, transparent, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. They took the time to really understand our family's needs and what kind of caregiver would be the right fit for our baby. Evergreen handled every step--from interviews and background checks to reference verifications--and even prepared the nanny agreement and contract for us, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Their communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and supported. Thanks to Evergreen, we were matched with Kymberlee, who has been an absolute blessing to our family. She's warm, dependable, and wonderful with our daughter. Knowing that our little one is in such loving and capable hands brings us so much peace of mind every day. We're so grateful to Evergreen Nannies for helping us find the perfect fit and for turning what could have been a stressful search into such a reassuring and positive experience!

Both Nanny & Families -…read more After careful consideration as I hate to disparage anyone, I decided to convey my experience.  I have over 20 years experience as a nanny and a caregiver with excellent references. I also have extensive professional corporate experience in executive positions.  My last charge was a year ago and I decided it was time to love another young one. I find great enjoyment in teaching children.  I contacted Madison after seeing a position I was very much peaked my interest.  The response from Madison was " You sound great and I would love to interview you! I am currently on leave and conducting all of my interviews via Skype or Facetime."  I responded that I did not use Skype (archaic type of video chat) and had an Android. However suggested we could do Facebook messenger as video chat or an initial telephone interview.  Madison responded with "FB messenger is definitely an option, let's do that!" And set a meeting time.  The meeting time came and went with no contact from Madison. I called and left her a VM as well as reached out via email with no response to our missed meeting. I wish I had read all the reviews prior to applying and wasting my valuable time. This is an issue with her. And while she continues to apologize and/or make excuses it appears this is ongoing for years.  In my experience this nanny serive will let down both the nanny and families with the lack of follow through, professionalism and consistent excuses as to why it failed (her previous responses) Hopefully in the future she will realize the value of others time.

Madison is an absolutely joy to work with! Finding a new nanny to care for your kids is a very…read morestressful process and she has come to our rescue on multiple occasions. Madison truly cares about finding the right fit for both the family and the nannies. We've worked with other nanny finding services but no one else has given the same care and compassion that Westside Nanny provided. She really took the time to understand our family dynamics and make suggestions on what qualities to look for in a nanny. We have a very busy family schedule and Madison made sure that she screened all the candidates and only recommended the quality people that she felt would be a good fit for our kids. Interviewing candidates can be so time consuming and stressful but Madison was able to give us the highest quality options for a nanny. Madison really considers the feelings of both the families and nannies and strives to find the perfect match. We are very fortunate to have worked with someone who has a passion for her business. We can't thank her enough for what she's done for us and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking quality child care.

Here's an…read moreupdate: Chris Foss Auctions has become one of our favorite auction houses, and after many successful purchases, it's time to update this review. My husband and I have purchased a wide variety of items through their sales, from artwork to vintage perfumes, and we've consistently been impressed by the quality and variety of offerings. What really sets Chris and his team apart is their professionalism. The buyer's premium is reasonable, shipping costs are fair, and every item we've received has been packed carefully and securely. It's clear they take customer satisfaction seriously and understand the importance of handling unique and collectible items properly. The auctions are well organized, descriptions are reliable, communication is excellent, and the entire process--from bidding to delivery--is smooth and hassle-free. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time bidder, you'll feel confident buying from them. As someone who has been on both the buying and selling side, I can say without hesitation that I would trust Chris Foss Auctions to handle my estate. The respect and professionalism they show to both customers and consignors are exactly what I would want in a company representing my family's belongings.
