Parent Reflections

Every family is unique, and it’s been a gift to walk alongside of each of you. Whether through creative play, gentle caregiving, or trauma informed support, these shared moments have shaped my heart forever. All testimonials are shared with permission and reflect family experiences. I’m happy to provide references upon request with their consent. Here’s what parents have said about their experience:

Testimonial 1

“Taylor is amazing. She’s been the greatest gift to our family. She loves our daughter and it shows. Taylor plays with her, reads to her, engages her with music, snuggles when she’s grumpy, and so much more! Taylor is so communicative, flexible, always on time, cleans even though we never expect it…everything we could ask for and more!”

- Kate Donaldson, Mom of 1 Infant

Testimonial 2

“My husband and I used Taylor to assist with childcare for our 2.5 year old son from November 2021 to April 2022 while waiting for a daycare spot to open up in the middle of moving homes. I would highly recommend Taylor to any family looking for an experienced, attentive, responsible, and caring professional. She is great with communication, does light housework and the art projects we came home to were always so cute. Taylor is #1 on our list for nannies. Our little guy loves his 'Tay-Tay'!”

- Michelle Gambino-Gorney, Mom of 2 Toddlers

Testimonial 5

“I appreciated the fact that Taylor would sit down with my son and work on personalized art projects. My son loved doing creative projects and Taylor really poured into that and always had him working on something fun and creative. Taylor was different than other caregivers I had because I could tell she really cared, she always put in the effort and you could see the love she has! I would absolutely recommend any family with children works with Taylor, you can see the thought she puts into everything she does and I know my child is in good hands when I’m not around. Taylor is amazing! Very professional but she feels like family, anytime she comes over it’s like a breath of fresh air. Taylor is now apart of our family forever, she will leave a lasting impression on any home she walks into.”

-Nicole Larson, Parent of 1 Pre-Teen Child

Her patience, compassion, and genuine love for kids are evident in everything she does. She not only provides a safe and nurturing environment but also brings creativity and joy into our home every time she is here. Taylor lights up when she arrives, and we trust her completely. Any family would be fortunate to have her.”
