I have taken care of an infant up to age 8 years old. I have changed diapers, fed, bathed, baked cookies and cakes. I have colored, painted, played board games, hide and seek, sat on the floor and played dolls and action figures.

We tried to hire Margaret to watch our child a couple days a week. We met and things went well, agreed on timing and pay, and she was to start in a about 2 and a half weeks. She needed to move around time with another family, but said our schedule needs worked well for her. Less than 48 hours before she was to start she said she'd have to push back starting two weeks because the other family still needed her on the days she was to work with us. This late notice left us scrambling and I ultimately had to take off work at a busy time. But fine, we liked Margaret and have had a hard time finding someone to help within our schedule. She verified she'd be able to start in two more weeks. We decided to double check that a few days prior to the new start date and were told she'd check with her other family. After a couple days of not hearing back and not answering our follow up calls she texted that she would not be able to start once again, and that we should move forward and try to find someone else. This wound up being a big waste of our time, money and PTO days with very limited  communication coming from Margaret. 

She didn't ultimately work with us at all, so can't comment/review her childcare abilities, though she did meet our daughter for a bit and they seemed to get along. Just an overall frustrating experience with her, exacerbated by terrible communication, when we were counting on her for help.

Margaret is a loving caregiver who is very committed to doing her best. She loves babies and is very open to adopting whatever method of parenting and care you need. She takes safety extremely seriously and is extremely dependable.  

We can't say enough wonderful things about Margaret! Margie joined our family to care for our infant before we went back to work. As new parents, we were overwhelmed, but she stepped in and taught us so much, helping us grow and gain confidence. She has been amazing with our daughter, who absolutely adores her. Over the past year and a half, she became not just our nanny, but part of our family. She's attended family events and celebrations because she's so dedicated to her families and loves to be involved. Her transparency in communication, excellent scheduling, and flexibility have made everything so much easier for us. We have her 3 days a week and work very collaboratively with another family that has her 2 days a week. We were incredibly lucky to have her, and if it weren't for our move, we would have kept her with us forever. Highly recommended!

Margie has been taking care of our little one for a little over a year and a half now and I can confidently say that hiring her was one of the best decisions my wife and I have ever made. 

Margie truly cares and provides exceptional care. 

Margie is reliable - which is huge for two working parents with busy jobs and schedules. 

She’s an excellent communicator, extremely punctual, takes feedback and applies immediately, and gives her full attention and love to our little one 100% of the time. 

She brings a positive energy every day and makes our little one so happy. 

She’s helped our child grow and learn at every milestone since 6 months and was excellent with introducing solids, transitioning naps, and moving from crawling to a child who can jump and run. 

One of the things we appreciate most about Margie is how much we trust her. Once she arrives each morning, we know our child is in great hands — and that our little one will remain on their schedule, be well fed, and have a day full of activities. 

Margie encourages reading and it’s now our little one’s absolute favorite activity. 

She’s never on her phone. She’s always patient. And gives 100% every single day. 

She’s a part of our family and we couldn’t have operated without her. 

11/10. The BEST. Hire her! 

Margaret provided excellent care for our toddler and newborn. Her communication was great with us and our toddler. She was prompt and reliable. She was hands on right away and made our toddler very comfortable. We didn’t have to give her much direction because she knew what to do. 

Margaret was recommended by a friend. My kids loved being around her. She did a great job teaching them about boundaries and being safe. We've recommended her to other families as well. She's great!

Margaret was our nanny for 5 years and has been a wonderful asset to my boys. She started helping me when my youngest was at 6 weeks old and he adores her. She is so kind, sweet, and attentive to the kids.   One thing I loved was that she wasn't stuck to her phone. She loves to play with the kids at the park, board games, or art projects, and she actively engages. I have her sit for me from time to time and my kids now at ages 8 and 10 get excited that she is coming over. She is like family to us.

Margaret is an extremely reliable childcare provider! She is always on time and extremely flexible to stay late if needed. She genuinely loves my little guy. She is happy to follow whatever preferences parents have and is also willing to help out around the house. I always knew my infant would be safe with her.

Marggie is a wonderful nanny who takes her job very seriously while also sharing a lot of love and affection with your kids. She is the most dependable and punctual nanny we have ever worked with and she is always looking for ways to help our son grow. She takes safety seriously and learns about important development milestones. She has always been very open to doing things our way and following schedules we provide. She loves getting outside and going on adventures with him. She has always been a proactive reader and is constantly talking to our son. Most importantly Marggie is a really good person who has strong values. She loves our son and cares deeply about him. Any family will be lucky to have her as a nanny.

Margaret is a wonderful babysitter to our two boys, ages 2 and 7 months. She has been helping me with my youngest since he was 2 months old. She is kind, fun, hardworking and the kids love her. I call her whenever I need someone and the other perk is she will help with household chores when/if needed.  

My eldest son loves when Margaret comes over as he knows she will play games with him and read to him. She interacts well with the kids and doesn't just sit and watch them play. She is a great hire.

Margaret has watched my three children in our home for the past 8 years.  She is wonderful with them!  I can count on her to take care of any of their needs.  She is responsible, nurturing, and fun-loving.  We all adore her!  She has always been available and goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of my children.  I would highly recommend her to any family seeking child care.

Margie has always been good with kids. She interacts with each child based on their developmentally level with interactive play. She is patient and allows each child to get to know her and trust her. She is able to care for any child regardless of age and has recently been in charge of at least three children in her care.  Margie loves her job as nanny and that is clear in job she has done with her current job.
