Tamiko did a WONDERFUL job taking care of five children! I booked a date night with my husband and another couple, and Tamiko entertained our children, fed them, and put them to bed. When we got home, they were sound asleep. Very professional and easy to work with! Highly recommend!

Tamiko is great! She is realiable, trustworthy and professional. My kids love it when she comes to play with them. She has watched my kids for full work days, as well as, just a few hours. Every time we have been pleased with her and hope to continue working with her in the future. I highly recommend her. Our children are 1 and 3 1/2 years old.

Tamiko is just wonderful. She responds very quickly and has great follow up! She touched base with me the day of our appointment and arrived 5 minutes early. When I asked my kids the next day what the thought of her my 5 year old responded "she smiles all the time, she was great".

Tamiko is very unprofessional. I hired her part time to help take care of my family and 3 days before I was to start my job, she informed me that she had taken a full time position with another family. Imagine my shock! She had seemed so professional during our meetings and never mentioned that the part time job I was offering her was not what she was looking for. In fact, she stated just the opposite. As a result of her unprofessionalism I had to resign as I had no backup child care. So beware that this nanny is not all that she calims to be. I wouldn't want this to happen to someone else.

Very good with my high functioning 5-year-old autistic son for homework help, assisting with fine motor skill exercises, and playing games. She's very professional and in charge. I'm on-site caring for a younger child when Tamiko works with my 5-year-old, so I've personally observed her performance. Calls ahead to confirm appointments, etc., too.

She was great with our two preteen sons, playing tons of boardgames after homework. Tamiko was very quick to repond to my email, asked lots of questions, and was punctual and professional!

We couldn't be happier with the care Tamiko gave our baby girl and would highly recommend her to anyone! Our daughter is just over 5 months old and she kept her busy playing and teaching her new things AND got her to take a 2 hour nap!! A new record!!

We’re thrilled to have found Tamiko to care for our son (4) and daughter (2). She’s warm and fun, yet keeps gentle control over our active children. Plus, we’re very impressed with her professionalism. She always replies quickly (even for last minute appointments) and never arrives late! Highly recommended!

Tamiko was there for us last minute and made me feel very comfortable leaving our 7 month old in her care. She was pleasant and we came home extremely pleased with her care.

I've been really impressed with Tamiko. She is very professional, responsible and reliable. But best of all she is wonderful with my 11m old baby. I feel very comfortable that he is in safe hands with Tamiko - and he seems to love her company too.
