Erin came recommended to us from a former nanny. Erin is truly a gem, and I can't imagine how we…read morewould function without her. First and foremost she is responsive. I don't think the woman sleeps because we've reached out to her at odd hours and remarkably she still got back to us in a jiffy. I can't tell you the number of times we have sheepishly called her at the last minute because we forgot school was closed and she still came through. As two working parents we can't stress enough how great it is to access her at the last minute. Second she will walk you through every step of the process. You tell her what you are looking for (for instance full time nanny, part time, short term, breaks, etc) and she will tell you exactly what to expect and do what she can to help. Last but not least is the quality of her nannies. We trust Erin to find nannies and temp baby sitters who work well with our family. I want to say something about the negative reviews. I strongly suspect there's more to the story than what the reviewers claim. I also don't think it's fair that they wrote two separate reviews for one experience but I digress... In our experience Erin is very transparent. Whenever there are requests that she can't accommodate she tells us the exact reason why and her reasoning makes perfect sense. In fact we rely on her expertise to tell us what's realistic and what is not. That's part of what you are paying for! If you're not at all sure if you need service, just call her! She won't steer you wrong!

I am proud to say I am one of Erin's Nannies. I have been with this agency for 10+ years. During…read morethat time I have had the pleasure of being placed with families that I now call friends. These families are professional people who value their children and will settle for nothing less than the best for them. They come to Erin's because they know of her reputation and experience. They STAY with Erin's for the personal and professional way she works with each family's individual needs and goals for their children. As a nanny, I know that any family that has chosen Erin's Nannies will be the kind that I want to work for. Likewise, she knows her nannies; their personalities, their strengths, and their needs. She then uses her time tested gift for pairing families and nannies to find the right fit for all of us. For other agencies, their work is considered done. This is not how Erin sees it. She follows up, she listens, and she fine tunes the experience for both her families and her nannies. In other words, she CARES. Through Erin's Nannies I have grown personally and professionally and have come to know parents and children that I feel good about giving my best to. I never feel like a product being sold. If you are a nanny or a parent looking for an agency run with integrity and love, you will find both with Erin's Nannies. I'm so grateful for the experiences and relationships I have gained by being an Erin's nanny.

This is a long overdue review; however, it gave me time to put my emotions aside and formulate a…read morefactual, to-the-point review of my very negative experience with Primrose Schools of Solon. Upon first visiting Primrose, I was incredibly impressed with the new, clean environment. Everything was up to date, security was on point, and things appeared very sanitary. The director at the time was very kind and knowledgeable, and she did a great job selling me on all of the reasons why Primrose would be a great fit for my daughter. I felt good about the decision, and a few days later gave my deposit for her to start when there was an opening - which they promised would be no later than end of September. End of September came and went, and no word from Primrose. We came to find out that the director I had spoken with had left, and we were completely forgotten about. Red flag #1. Once I finally got through to them and had my daughter start, it was one issue after another. I specifically asked them not to give my daughter milk. She was given milk on three separate occasions. Each time, I reminded them - both verbally and via handwritten notes. Since she does not drink milk, she was dying of thirst when I picked her up and would suck down her water on the way home. Red flag #2. I was told (and it was documented in paperwork) that a backup lunch is offered if the child does not like what is provided. It was communicated in my daughter's notes three times that she had not eaten any of her lunches. Thankfully, I picked her up before nap, so it was not an issue and she was able to eat when she got home. Red flag #3. In the short time (three months) that my daughter attended, there were not one, not two, but THREE different directors. I understand there is turnover in the childcare industry, but WOW. Something is obviously very wrong! Red flag #4. And finally, the last, and most notable occurrence. I wrote up an email outlining all of these issues and sent it to the franchise owner, Jana Massary. She took her time getting back to me and let me know that she had "several meetings" and would be back in touch with me later that day. From the moment she called me, I knew it was going to be a bad interaction. She was incredibly rude, demeaning, and, quite frankly, the exact opposite of the type of person you would want caring for your children. She issued zero apologies for anything we had gone through, and proceeded to hang up on me in the middle of the conversation. I would say that she's someone that clearly can't take negative feedback, but what I provided her were straight facts and experiences that we had while my daughter was in their care. It is clear that I would advise anyone and everyone from choosing somewhere other than Primrose. There is nothing "warm" about the school, and it is clear that it stems directly from the leadership. It is no wonder that teachers are electing to leave at such a rapid pace, and from what I've heard, families as well.
