Family Testimonials
|
Here are just a few of of the kind testimonials from our very happy families and nannies!
"Contracting with A Helping Hand Nanny Agency was "hands down" the best decision that my husband and I made! Nicole immediately tuned-in to our needs and provided us with several professional nannies to consider. She provided excellent customer service and just made the whole process very easy. We are extremely pleased with our nanny. I recommend A Helping Hand Nanny Agency to any parents seeking high quality child care. Previously, we employed a nanny without going through an agency because we thought we knew what to look for. After hiring a nanny through A Helping Hand Nanny Agency, we learned what a difference an agency makes. For anyone who is not sure about using an agency, give A Helping Hand a call, and tell them what you need. They provide the right screening, guidance, and highest level of professionalism that the child care search deserves." ~ Sandra K. Wauwatosa, WI --------------- "Nicole, we really appreciate all the help and guidance you gave us…you made this process a lot easier on us! I have to say we were very much impressed with your professionalism (prompt responses, etc.) and your genuine care throughout! Making the decision to have a nanny in our home was in itself a big step for us and you certainly made us confident in our decision every step of the way! Like Michael had mentioned to you when we met you, we were hoping to find someone just like you - and we think we did!" ~ Brenda L. - Wauwatosa, WI --------------- "Nicole, I just wanted to send you a note thanking you for all that you did to assist my husband and I with finding our wonderful nanny. We couldn't be happier with Sara! After considering many different local agencies, and meeting with a few different representatives from those agencies, we knew the second we met you we had found the right one! You by far exceeded the other agencies with your professionalism and your attention to detail. You provided us with excellent resources and many helpful tips and tools, all of which we are using today. The nanny candidates that you sent us during the referral process exceeded our expectations - and you know very well that we had those expectations set very high! We would highly recommend your agency to anyone and everyone, and will do so every chance we get! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" ~ Carol O. - Brookfield, WI ---------------- |
