My family was visiting DC for a convention, and I called SEVERAL companies as we needed someone to come to our hotel room to watch out son. And all of them had hidden fees, etc. However, once I found FMOTG, it was easy and straight forward with extremely fair/competitive pricing. I didn't have to pay an agency and then pay the nanny. Ms. Kiesha ubered to the hotel (so we didn't have to worry about paying for her parking). She arrived early, and as soon as I met her, I felt as though I have known her forever. She asked us several questions about our son, his needs and schedule, while immediately tending to him. I was able to witness her singing to him, reading to him, teaching him, and loving him. He was so happy to be with her. My husband and I felt so comfortable leaving our son with her. Throughout the night, she sent us several updates and pictures. We didn't even have to ask for those - which is comforting. Once we got back, she actually wrote out a full update/report about our son's night and when his last diaper change and bottle were. If Kiesha lived in my city, I would want to work with her EVERYDAY!! (And she does travel, so we will consider that in the future for family vacations). I'm so thankful for people like Ms. Kiesha and FMOTG. They help making parenting (especially working parents) a bit easier. I can't wait to get back to DC and call her up again!!

Our awesome baby showed up 50 days before his scheduled due date. Needless to say, we were totally…read moreunprepared and caught off guard. When we finally got him home, we realized we were overwhelmed. We called Overnight Newborn Care and they set us up with Claudine. She has been nothing short of a miracle. We can sleep through the night now which gives us the energy to finish our cross-country move (which was supposed to have happened BEFORE the baby came, but nooooo - yikes!). They explained everything in detail and were sensitive to our concerns about safety and care for a premie. Claudine is super sweet and has been so reliable, we actually don't want her to ever leave. She has been with us for almost 3 months now - 7 days a week - without incident! So, yeah, happy parents here. Highly recommend.

Honestly, it's really hard to trust a service like this with your baby, especially in a city away from home. I had a few things in place so I could keep an eye on my daughter throughout the day, and because of that, I know she was genuinely well cared for. Alison from The Educated Babysitter was great. She arrived on time, took my daughter on walks outside, changed diapers, and kept her happy and comfortable throughout the day. By the second day, even the hotel staff knew my baby and would stop to say hi. The only reason I'm taking the time to write this review is because I know there are other moms in similar situations trying to balance work travel and motherhood, and trusted childcare like this can make all the difference.

The house is clean, she offers to do more to make your life easier, and provides updates on how your kid did throughout the day. I hope she's available until my kid is ready for preschool. I love her and wish her the best!

My daughter attended this daycare for several months. I first met Flori at a previous daycare, and…read morefollowed her to this one because I trusted her and I knew that she and my daughter had a positive connection. My daughter was just about a year old at the time. I was impressed at the ownership Flori took with her own new business. She created a great environment for the kids to play. They had fun toys to play with, books to read, and she also did art projects with them. This part of Arlington County is so difficult in terms of finding a spot in a daycare for children under the age of two. I was so relieved that with Flori, I had a seamless transition between the old daycare that closed and her new one that opened. I didn't have to take any days off work between the transition. Flori was also flexible with my schedule, and was happy to let Alexandra stay later if I thought I might need to arrive late from work on a given day. We stopped attending the daycare because we moved to Maryland.

Flori first watched our older son before he went to preschool (at a time when she worked at a…read moredifferent home in a home daycare). Now that she has her own place, she has been caring for our younger son for the last two years, from his earliest months. My husband and I both work full time, and with 2+ years of experience with Flori, we couldn't be happier. Our son adores her and always goes to her happily. Often in the first year, he would cry... when I came to pick him up! He loves being with Flori and we owe her so much for taking such wonderful care of him. Developmentally, Flori helped our son get into a napping/mealtime schedule as an infant, introduced him to many foods as a toddler, and is now working with him through potty training. She sends photos of their activities, including art, songs, and outdoor play, and he is always happy with her. He comes home singing songs in English and Spanish, counting, and talking up a storm. Flori also provides snacks and lunch, which is lifesaving. We also appreciate Flori and Garden of Dreams for flexibility. When we have needed to vary the hours (at either end of the day), Flori has been more than accommodating. She has also been open for many of the smaller closures that tend to affect schools but not working professionals, and has welcomed us bringing both our children to stay with her during snow days or lesser holidays. She has also provided babysitting in the evenings, which is a great resource to have. Flori has a great deal of experience working with children and has always gone above and beyond in doing anything that our son has needed. She loves him like one of her own and we've been very lucky and blessed to have her be the one to spend time with him every day during the week. I recommend Garden of Dreams highly.

Danielle S was very nice, and I would be happy for her to come again. It sounds like she has good experience for the role. We had one incident where she took out 3 colors of play dough and was making shapes with the stamps......... ON THE CARPET. She didn't realize she was creating the marks (leaving play dough stuck in the carpet) and didn't realize it was a carpet (she said she thought it was a play mat). I think we all make mistakes. She apologized. She didn't blame my son. He has never done play dough anywhere on the floor or carpet, and never used more than one color. I read on the internet that one needs to wait for it to dry before trying to remove it. I contacted the company later that day and very politely asked "what are we going to do about it if it doesn't come off?" The admin lady blamed my child knowing nothing about the situation. She said the kid probably told her to do it... and more blaming things, which were completely not true. She said she would speak to a supervisor and get back to me. She, nor anyone did get back with me. That's very unprofessional with not covering for your employee's mistake, and getting back to me.

Finding Philia was the best thing that could have happened to our day care/nanny search. My husband…read moreand I were completely overwhelmed by the Washington, DC day care machine and really wanted a nanny once our child starts needing care. We found a neighbor to start a nanny share with and then dove head first into scouring the internet/care.com to find a nanny. What an overwhelming process! Then we found Philia and it just seemed too good to be a true - an organization that finds the nanny for you? That does all the pre-check work (background checks, interviews)? That handles all the administrative end of nannying (workers comp, insurance, payroll taxes)? How could it get better? Well it does. After a few emails with owner Kira, and then our initial in-person meeting, my husband and I were thrilled. Kira is passionate about her company and the services Philia offers and her response time & customer service are top notch. We have already met with and secured a nanny for our soon-to-be-arriving first child all thanks to Kira & Philia. Kira listens to your needs and wants and then she provides you with nannies that fit the bill. She takes SO MUCH of the time & stress out of nanny searching and we really couldn't be happier that we have started working with them for our childcare. Philia really, truly is DC's best kept secret right now!

We were disappointed with our client intake experience at White House Nannies. From the outset, the…read morefocus seemed to be more on why they couldn't help us rather than exploring how they could. Our family's needs are admittedly unique -- we're looking for a nanny every other week and a house manager during the alternate weeks -- but this nuance didn't seem to receive much attention or creative problem-solving. Compared to other agencies we've interacted with recently (such as ABC Nanny Source), this experience felt rigid and dismissive. Even informal posts on the DC Moms web board yielded more promising conversations. White House Nannies also charges fees up front, which we've found is not the case with many other services. Perhaps most surprising was being told there is a severe shortage of qualified nannies, with estimated start dates more than 8 weeks out. That has not been our experience elsewhere, either through agencies or direct outreach. In short, while their reputation led us to expect a thoughtful and solutions-oriented process, we came away feeling that our time and needs weren't valued. We ultimately decided to pursue other avenues that felt more responsive, flexible, and aligned with our expectations.

Two years ago we had a sudden, pressing need for a nanny and contacted a couple of agencies. WH…read moreNannies was the most responsive, and had someone readily available. What going with WH Nannies did for us was being able to outsource the kinds of logistical background items that would have left us behind on the 8-ball on finding someone: they do the pre-screening, they do the background check, they clear the paperwork, etc. so you don't have to. If they recommend someone, whether or not it's an ideal fit you know it's at least going to be a good fit, with a high floor. We had a couple of world class people, such as Alessandra and Hailey. They helped our family through one of the roughest stretches anyone could wish for as our youngest child had some chronic health issues. It did not matter that she had issues, that we had two dogs, or anything else. Everything got handled with aplomb. The one time things did not work out with one person in particular, WHN helped us address the situation promptly and gracefully, demonstrating the highest of standards and a firm commitment to excellence for the families they service. I won't sugar coat it: they are pricey, but so worth it. I have zero reservations about recommending them. Simply top notch service.
