Polina is wonderful; can't recommend her enough! She spent a few afternoons a week at the park with our two-year-old son over the summer. Russian is one of our son's primary languages, and we were looking for someone who'd be able to communicate with him in Russian and would keep him safe while also being playful and laid back. Polina checked all the boxes. Our son absolutely loved her! He came back happy from the park every evening and was already looking forward to the next time. Bonus points: Polina is super reliable, a great communicator, and always on time. From experience we know that those are definitely not qualities to be taken for granted. Hopefully, we'll get to work with Polina again in the future. Thank you!
