She volunteered any bit of background check you could think of: CPR, background check, drug screen, references, etc. etc. Our daughter took to Martina seamlessly. Martina came with her own bag of toys and tricks up her sleeve from years of experience. We immediately felt safe and comfortable with her which was a huge relief since this was the first time we left her with a nanny! Everyone who met her let us know they all got "good vibes" about her - another relief! Martina was also super flexible and understanding when the evening went longer than expected. We will definitely be reaching out to Martina the next time we visit Tahoe.

She came to our hotel to babysit my children. Her prices were really reasonable and affordable.

Even…read morewhen we got into other Preschools, I stayed on the waitlist for Discovery, and I'm so glad I did. One thing I've learned about sending a little one to school is: It works best if you have a place with enough teachers who truly care about your child, and who also understand that parents (as well as kids) need some flexibility and understanding at this age... And that's what they've been with us - understanding and flexible - through the crazy local weather spells, child sicknesses... all of it. They truly embrace the concept that no two kids are the same, so you really can't force kids into some cookie-cutter template (e.g. expecting all kids to develop at the same rate, forcing them all to nap every day, etc.). I have been especially impressed with the owner, Kirsten, and the Director, Courtney - Always nice, always friendly, obviously work very hard and care about each and every student they have, etc. And this care and consideration is not only shown to my kid, but also to me, which is a breath of fresh air at an age when things can be so stressful. Would also like to add that their prices are the most reasonable you'll find and the gifts they have kids make and bring home for their parents during the holidays are absolutely delightful... Again, another sign that they not only care about your child, they care about the whole picture. Props of course as well to all of their individual hardworking teachers!

Our son loves it here. All of the teachers are nice. Couldn't be happier with the experience.read more

They were recommended by Marriott's Timber Lodge and I found their website informative and reached out to Dee the owner. Dee got back to me with any questions I had and I made a reservation. We had 2 nannies because of the number of children we had (7). Lauren and Destinee were great. They came to the lodge, took the kids for ice cream, ordered them pizza, played hide and seek, and even painted the girls' nails a fun July fourth theme. My kids loved them and asked if we could use them again. Billing was reasonable and so easy. We gave them a credit card which they charged and sent an invoice/receipt the next morning. The families all agree we would use them again! Thank you We Care 4 Kidz!

She even brought him over to the village for a walk and to pick up his 4 year old sister after her ski lesson was over. I would highly recommend Wee Care 4 Kids to parents looking for a sitter in the Tahoe area.

Wonderful service provided by Joanna's Nannies!…read more We worked with Joanna and her team to hire nannies for the bride's sisters on a wedding weekend. We had three different nannies and they were all wonderful. We had Allison and Natalie two days in a row and I especially enjoyed working with them. Very friendly ladies and were very involved with the children each time I saw them. The babies in their care were involved in the wedding ceremony so the two nannies were on site to get them nestled in the wagon and then took them back up to the residence once their role in the wedding was over. They were great sports about being down at the ceremony and seemed very willing to do whatever was asked of them to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible.

Our son was in Harmony's full-time care for several months. During that time, there were a few incidents that raised concerns, which we initially attributed to the normal learning curve of having our baby in childcare for the first time. However, one incident ultimately made it clear that we could no longer trust this facility with our child's care, and we withdrew him immediately. The incident raised serious concerns for us around judgment and communication. After withdrawing our son, Harmony refused to refund our deposit or any portion of the remaining tuition for the month. We took the matter to small claims court, where we won our case. This judgment was issued in October 2025, and as of today, she has still not paid the court-ordered amount. I debated whether to share our experience publicly, but I'm sharing this solely to document our experience and help other families make an informed decision. While Harmony presents herself in a certain way professionally, our personal experience was very, very different. She made comments to us that were completely inappropriate and unprofessional. I know how difficult it is to find childcare in this area, but based on our experience, I strongly encourage families to carefully consider other options before choosing Daisy Trails Forest Preschool.

She confirmed that she had availability for my requested date, but communication on her end was extremely slow. I had to follow up multiple times to get a reply. She originally tried to charge me more expensive rates than what is listed on the website but agreed to do "honor the posted rates" when I challenged it. I should have gone else where at this flag but tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. The evening before our confirmed reservation, I had no details and gave her a call. She told me she was on vacation but assured me we were confirmed. She asks me to email her (again) because she can't find me email. She did not seem to be entirely coherent and mistakenly called me back later trying to book an appointment with a psychic. All this was strange and made me uncomfortable, but as she would not be the one caring for my child and hoped that I could vet the sitter she connected us with. She sent me a standard confirmation email at 9pm that night but it did not include the sitter details and it stated I would be introduced to the sitter the day before which obviously did not happen. When I followed up about this, I was told the sitter was injured and she needed to find someone else. Only upon my following up with her 30 minutes prior to my scheduled reservation, does she inform me that she could not find anyone. No attempt to make things right or offer another option (we were flexible). This "service" is completely useless.
