Preferred Childcare's office staff were unpleasant to deal with and unwilling to find a long-term…read morenanny for my needs. They would send multiple new-to-us sitters each week, even though many of those sitters told me in person that they'd love to have the position as a recurring job. This was immensely stressful to me as a working parent - I had to be home to meet each new sitter and go over the job over and over again. There were also frequent last minute cancellations, especially on Friday afternoons. Ultimately, they did not offer the advertised service as I was doing just as much work as if I were hiring the sitters directly, only for a higher price.

I would think twice about using this service as a Covid-conscious family. If you use this service,…read morebe sure to ask about what their policies are about ensuring that babysitters/nannies are vaccinated, and ensuring anyone they send is actually vaccinated and maintains other covid-conscious practices. Through this service, we were paired with a nanny who wasn't fully vaccinated and lives with people who refused to vaccinate, and I'm glad I double-checked on this nanny to realize this before the person came to our home. I think this may have been a good business before Covid times, but now their policies are not aligned with those who are more covid-consciousness. We were with his company for months and they couldn't find a permanent vaccinated nanny. We ended up finding one ourselves without this agency's help. Through them, we did have some great temporary nannies, but this company did not provide the reliability or safety that we really needed. Today, their owner admitted to me "We do not require vaccinations because we don't have to and feel it is a very personal choice." I wish I had known this before we spent hundreds on this agency. They should have been upfront about that from the get-go instead of making the misrepresentation that, "Unfortunately, as an employer, we are unable to ask for their [babysitters] clarification [about vaccination status] for medical reasons."

Flexibility with early morning drop-offs and later pick-ups has been a godsend. Our daughter has been at NB for over a year now and loves it. She happily runs in every day, is warmly greeted, and then sits down to a delicious all-organic breakfast. I know because parents are welcomed to take part in the spread as well! The small group size, high caregiver-to-baby ratio, and mixed age philosophy has been wonderful for our daughter. She comes home every day clean and happy, having learned new words, songs, and activities from her caretakers and baby pals. She even asks (...constantly...) where her NB friends are - and I couldn't ask for a better review. As for negative reviews on this site: NB is a group of ~8 families, and I know all the other parents there. I do not recognize those reviewers; they have never used NB to my knowledge. The fact that both accounts have written just one review and were created on the same day is suspicious, to say the least.

I know that he is very well cared for and loved at Suzi's (and he loves going!). Nurtured Baby is so much more than a traditional daycare. The space is a beautiful and inviting home environment. She has a very low teacher to child ratio and offers day/time flexibility(!). Organic foods. Non toxic products. Learning through play. I honestly didn't think we'd find such a wonderful place. I'm very grateful for Suzi and her staff. Balancing work and family isn't always easy, especially at first, but Suzi has certainly helped us along the way. We will forever be thankful to have found Suzi.

She is an amaizing individual and the parents I had the opportunity to work with were amazing educated people. I worked for doctors, pleople coming for traveling and business from different states and countries, for regular families, single moms, single dads. always received very good money and they always treat me with respect and dignity. Denise was always honest, friendly and treat me and her consumers highly with respect. I am sad to see some random bad reviews just because maybe she has not able to pick up the phone! We all need to remember that we are all humans and sometimes things happen in our lives and we are just busy. Now I live in another city; I dont speak with Denise a few years ago, but I will always remeber her as a business lady that diserves all the very best and I will always be thankful to her for the opportunity she gave me a few years ago to work as a nanny for so many beautiful children that are still in my heart.

I have mixed feelings about Nanny Posse. The babysitters they send over have been absolutely…read morewonderful, but their scheduling, payment, website, and response time needs improvement. There is no notification of when the website will be down, and it tends to malfunction for scheduling and payment needs. As far as their payment system. I got charged everything later, and then had to pay my sitters via VenMo which is an additional hassle as a grad school mom in clinicals having to remember who/how much to pay. I also think that there should be a time limit to how late a sitter can be assigned. Sometimes I don't have anyone scheduled same day as a shift I have had posted up for weeks. They do not guarantee the same sitters, and try to schedule as soon as they can, but as a busy parent this is inconvenient as I feel like I have to have a backup sitting service I'd have to pay extra for. I understand there are cancellations, but NannyPosse scheduled a new sitter 2 hours before a shift because my original one cancelled. This may work for some families, but not good for toddlers with stranger danger. I hope they improve their website, scheduling, and response time as I've paid $300 for a mid grade membership.
