Johanna R.

Johanna is an absolute delight with a stellar Ivy League background! My 10-year-old daughter had an incredible summer, thanks to Johanna's support. As a former K-8 STEM teacher, Johanna nurtured my daughter's boundless curiosity and kept her engaged with thoughtful, tailored activities. She has an intuitive ability to connect with children and foster their interests. On top of that, Johanna was highly professional and discreet in handling our family’s affairs. Living in an affluent neighborhood, we value professionalism and security, and she delivered both seamlessly. She also doubled as a personal assistant, which was a huge help to me as a busy mom. I couldn’t be more grateful!

Initially, she was very willing to work with our family and was enthusiastic about a job. When I mentioned salary rate, she disappeared and later, when I said we can negotiate the salary, she contacted me all of the sudden. Again, for some reasons, she disappeared, would not receive my phone calls, ignore text messages and emails. I hoped that she would communicate to me what is going on. She didn't act like a professional.

Johanna dog-sat for our special little min-pin for our last out of town mini-vacation and we couldn't have been more thrilled with her. This is the first time that we have left Max overnight and wanted him to stay in his own environment for ease and comfort. She came to meet him and he loved her from the start. We were confident after that that she was the one to leave Max with. While we were gone she kept in constant contact letting us know how he was doing and what they had been up to.(great long walks and a little play time) When we came back she shared some great observations about Max that were spot on telling us that she is truely a dog person. Lastly, I just want to say that we left her with keys to our apt. and our most precious posession,Max, and that takes alot for us and she made us feel so comfortable from start to finish. We will definitely be calling on her for our future trips and needs. She was really great!!!

Johanna has been sitting for my 6 year old son for the past 7 months. She picks him up after school and takes him to after school activities around the city. Johanna is an amazing sitter. She is responsible and dependable and has been a tremendous help to our family. She has an amazing way with children -- she is fun, attentive, patient and caring and has great insight in how to handle children. Jo has taken my son to do fun activities around the city and he loves hanging out with her. Any family would be lucky to have Jo as a sitter.
