Alicia is amazing. We were fortunate to have her care for our 2 year old daughter as a nanny for 8 months. We couldn't recommend her more highly. She is extremely patient, wonderfully creative, reliable and trustworthy. We're big fans, and believe she's destined for grand things. If we get the chance to have her care for our daughter again we wouldn't hesitate.

We are very grateful for Alicia. She has quickly become part of our family and has been all in from the start-not skipping a beat with our 11 month old and 4 year old. She is extremely communicative and responsive. My favorite is her interactions with the kids, reading, crafts, montessori activities-as not only are the kids being taken care of but learning and developing.

Alicia was fabulous with both of our children. We came in from another country and it was a big thing placing trust into someone. Alicia was always on time, professional and constantly sending updates of activities with the kids. Will definitely be booking her again when we come back!
