I was looking for a nanny agency to use for my children, and found Maria's Nanny Agency. The…read moreservice is great, and definitely recommend this nanny service to anyone.

Pretty familiar with nancy/sitting services growing up with one once upon a time and hiring one for…read moremy sister's children, so I have a strong sense of expectations for nanny services. Maria's Nanny Agency fulfilled those expectations in every sense possible and I'm glad I was referred to them by one of my coworkers. I had a work-related conference and my wife was out-of-state visiting family, so I hired them for a short period to take care of my two kids while they were at their grandparents. The nanny executed her responsibilities perfectly, even with some of the specific requests I had. My kids have some picky eating habits and mannerisms that make them a task to deal with. We've had some nannies before, which did not end up working out because of our high expectations. I can say with confidence that our nanny from Maria's Nanny Agency did at excellent job at managing the kids, with particular attention to the details I had noted. Came back from my work engagement with happy kids and happy grandparents. She has a very natural way with kids and a demeanor that made me comfortable with her being responsible for my children. I shared my experience with my coworker and she was not surprised as she had a great experience as well. Definitely give Maria's Nancy Agency my highest recommendation for whatever needs you may have for watching or care-taking your children. I hope to be using this nancy service in the future if the needs comes up again. Thanks again.

Families, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND HIRE A DIFFERRNT AGENCY TO FIND A NANNY…read more Kathy Murphy was SO nice and sweet at first. They found a nanny for us , North shore Nannies got paid, we thought we had found the right Nanny. Then our Nanny quit suddenly and I had no back up nanny to watch my kids . I called Kathy directly and she was a different person. Of course after she got her money . They do NOT CARE about the nannies or families, they just want to make money . I tried calling Kathy many times and she wouldn't return my calls , She said she would look for another nanny for us and she NEVER DID. I had to call my previous Nanny to help me out because Kathy wouldn't help us. She took forever to send other nannies over for interviews. Please do not hire this terrible agency. On top of that , you need to know Kathy is the sweetest at first and then she turns into a rude monster . She is always angry and has a terrible attitude .I will make sure to tell my friends not to hire you Kathy Murphy.

I had a very positive experience working with NSN as one of their nannies. After the very in-depth…read moreinterview process (which it should always be for nannies), I was able to get at least two 4-hr gigs a week when I was unemployed from their temp list and they went right to work matching me up with a family to be a full time nanny for. I ended up finding a nanny job outside of NSN by chance, but they were fully supportive and let me stay on as a temp. Kathy and Becky are just so great! They are great at getting back to you quickly. I always recommend them to moms that I meet that are looking for trustworthy, quality nannies/babysitters. The family I nanny for FT even uses them when I am on vacation or sick. Definitely use them!

Kim saved my sanity and marriage. Seriously. She's that good…read more I know that might sound crazy, but if you're reading this review, it probably means that you're in a situation that's no bueno with your mini me. There is a solution, and it's Kim. As first time parents, my husband and I thought we were totally prepared -- we read the books, listened to the ancedotal advice, put together somewhat of a game plan, etc. -- then our sweet daughter arrived and sleep became a relic of the past. (Honestly, the 40 week pregnant rolling around uncomfortable sleep suddenly seemed like the best sleep I'd ever gotten in my life.) So, after 15 weeks of doing the craziest things to get our little love to sleep (including, but not limited to, trying every swaddle known to mankind, building a little fort around her legs so that she wouldn't startle so easily, running in every time she dropped her pacifier, you get the picture...), we hemmed and hawed and finally called Kim 10 days before I went back to work full time. So, here's what happened: PK (Pre-Kim; a/k/a what my husband and I affectionately refer to as the "Dark Days"): Daughter slept in co-sleeper by our bed; every night we did a 10 step routine before bed and would repeat as necessary throughout the night to get her back to sleep; at 15 weeks, our little girl was waking about every 3-4 hours and couldn't nap during the day without lots of sleep props. We were exhausted and on edge. AF (After Kim; cue angels singing from heavens): after 9 days of following Kim's step-by-step instructions, our 16 week old daughter was in bed by 7 pm each night, woke 1x a night for a feed, and awoke between 6:30-7 am the next day. She now wakes up happy, plays in her crib and waits for us to come in and say good morning. Our night routine now consists of 5 steps and doesn't involve rocking, pacifying, or crying. For her one night feed, I would feed her and then put her back in the crib -- again, no rocking, pacifying or crying. (At 6 months our daughter dropped her night feed herself and now sleeps from 6:30/7:00 pm to 6:30/7:00am every day). Make no mistake, I know lots of people read Weissbluth or Ferber and sleep train their babies themselves with varying degrees of success, but Kim gave us the tools and support to sleep train our daughter with confidence -- without feeling like we were abandoning our daughter or doing irreparable harm to her psyche. Without Kim and her support, I'm not sure I would have had the intestinal fortitude to see the sleep training through. Kim is honestly the best money that I have spent thus far as a parent and, I know I shouldn't say this, but I would actually pay her more for the piece of mind and sanity that she's given me.

Running the kitchen sink/fan or driving in the car to lull her to sleep - We'll get her falling asleep by herself, so you can lay her in the crib and she'll fall asleep on her own! Frequent night wakings - We'll get baby (4+ months) to sleep through the night without waking up until morning so you both feel well rested the next day! Late bedtime - We'll change his schedule and get your child in bed between 6-8pm (and bonus - you get your evenings back!)

Glencoe Park District - Takiff Center Community Hall

I haven't actually participated in a class here, but I've visited several times for meetings. I've…read morealso toured the building, and I have to say each time I set foot in the front lobby I'm reminded of how spectacular Takiff is... we're talking a first class facility that's as clean as a hospital (in a good way). Takiff is a huge space that consists of a bunch of rooms for classes, for kids to adults, like art, yoga, cooking, enrichment programs, and I think there is even a pottery studio. The gym is oversized for sports activities and events (I don't think they allow food or drink in there). Today I saw how organized their staff is when it comes to managing the many kids coming in and out of the building for day camp. For those thinking of signing up for a program, the team seems to really have their act together. Everyone is lovely and professional. Aside from the various classes and classrooms, GJK is onsite, and I think they also have another Park District preschool. Wiggleworms hosts music classes here too. Though I haven't actually seen the beach rentals, I've seen pictures. Inside there is a more formal room in Takiff with gorgeous windows and high ceilings, fit for a beautiful wedding reception or other formal event. The main level party room with a stage seems like it would be great for kids birthday parties. So much to do and see. I could go on and on, but you'll just need to go check it out for yourself! If you're coming from the north, the turn is a bit tricky, so keep your eyes peeled for the entrance. Parking lot onsite.

We provide recreation programs and services for all ages, from toddlers to adults, at three unique facilities: Takiff Center, Watts Center, and Glencoe Beach. The Takiff Center features dynamic recreational program rooms for exercise and health, creative and performing arts, early childhood development, and various sports. Also available are a variety of rental spaces for both large and small events, making the facility a welcoming place for community members to gather. Watts Center is open all year for recreation programs, but during the winter months it features two outdoor refrigerated ice rinks. Generations of Glencoe residents have enjoyed figure skating, hockey, broomball and other ice games at Watts. Glencoe Bathing and Boating Beaches are open during the summer months for swimming, sailing, kayaking, and other water activities.

Mersiha's Family Daycare

Mersiha has been an amazing addition to our family! My daughter has been with her since she was 4…read moremonths. This was my first baby and I was apprehensive about daycare; however, I went through a lot of nannies due to scheduling conflicts. When I went to Mersiha, you could tell she had a love for children and what she did for a living AND carried around a planner to set up dates far out in advance. I love how organized she is and how she interacts with kids. As a pediatric nurse with no family in the area, it was a God send to have Mersiha's family daycare around the corner. She was flexible with my crazy 12 hour shifts. She is very reliable and I have never had issues with having the coverage that I needed. Her prices are very reasonable for the area. Her attention to detail is amazing and she was even willing to support all of my first mom needs. We had an app and she would chart to appease my neurotic nursing nature. She helped me with getting Rhiley on a schedule and would alert me to any issues that were present with our little one. It's amazing how she keeps track of it all. I loved how much fun I could tell Rhiley had from spending a full day with Mersiha and the other kids. You could tell how much they both loved each other. And I loved how big of a smile Rhiley and Mersiha had when they would both see each in the morning or evening. My heart is broken that we are having to relocate but hopefully this is a see you later and not a goodbye. We miss her already and wish that we could take her with us! I highly recommend Mersiha's Family Daycare for any childcare needs that you have in the Bay Area. She is literally THE BEST!

I don't know how Mersiha does it! She's an incredible caretaker and is consistently sweet and…read morehappy. We were nervous about sending our daughter to daycare at the age of 2 months, but after we met Mersiha, our fears went away. She is very experienced with infants and she proved to be a great communicator, giving us daily updates on what she ate, how she slept, etc. We've been going to Mersiha's daycare for two years now, and when my daughter gives Mersiha hugs each day, I am reminded how truly lucky we are to have Mersiha in our lives. She's such an important part of our family and we love her so much.
