Kass is great she is very reliable and caring. Never called off always on time. She took care of my 5 and 6 year old and they love her. I knew my kids were in good hands when she was there.

We hired Kass to help out with our two kids while I was on business travel. Kass is so good with children, can easily relate to them and at the same time ensure they are following rules and being respectful. The best part was Kass' flexibility and responsiveness to texts or calls. Best part is that Kass was gracious enough to bring one of her pets over for the kids to play! They loved it.

Kass was our nanny for 8 months for our then 2 year old son and we continue to seek her help on occasion for babysitting. The only reason we discontinued having her as our nanny is because I went on maternity leave when my second son was born and I am staying home to raise my sons. Kass made an instant connection on the first day she met our toddler. We love her positive attitude, her respect for our requests, her well thought out schedule, and her planned activities/crafts. Communicating with her has always been a breeze and bonus for us is that she is fluent in Spanish so we had her speak and read to our son in Spanish. If any of my friends were seeking a nanny I would recommend her any day. We were extremely happy that we found her to care for our son.
