• "Olga superbly cared for our 2 year old son for 1.5 years. She ensured he maintained a regular routine, sourced activities and play groups during the day, and prepared healthy balanced meals for him. He adored her and especially loved learning Russian words. Olga his a highly competent lady with significant childcare experience.  "                                                                                          Georgia D. & Michael L.

•  Olga was our night nanny for about 8 weeks when out baby was born. She was great; we felt completely confident with our newborn being in her care. I got up during the night to nurse the baby or pump, and always felt comfortable with Olga. We also really appreciated Olga's flexibility. We weren't sure exactly how long we'd need a night nanny for, and she didn't require a fixed commitment upfront (which a lot of agencies asked for), and had no problem with ramping down to fewer nights per week for the last week or two.

• "Olga is a skilled caregiver who took great care of our son. She is literally an expert in caring for young ones and puts a ton of thought, energy, and love into helping them develop into happy and capable children. She has an incredible knowledge of what babies and toddlers need, and we, as parents, have learned so much from her!"                                                                                                    Leia Vetter

•  Olga was our first nanny for our first born child.  When I returned to work at 6 months I was very nervous about leaving him!  Olga quickly reassured me and taught me many things about how to be a new mom!  She was a champ at getting him on a great schedule while still being kind and loving.  She was very dependable and trustworthy and is a hard worker.                                                                                 Allison Achter
  
   

•  "Olga was a nanny for our family beginning when I returned to work and my daughter was three months old. She stayed with us until I moved out of the city--about two years. Olga was an exceptional nanny and had tons of great ideas on how to enrich my daughter's life as well as teach her how to be well-behaved.
  

One of my favorites, that I use to this day (child is 6 now), is the rule that it is fine for a child to wander around a room or a park, but that the child needs to be able to see my eyes. She also taught me not to use the word, 'No' too much with my daughter. She said that if I can explain the thinking rather than saying no, it will go a long way towards my daughter not getting into a terrible habit of reflexively saying no.

Besides her throughful approach to discipline, Olga also was smart to coordinate with other nannies to provide socialization for my daughter. In those years, my daughter went to a bunch of baby and toddler birthday parties and played at parks with a small set of cute kids that Olga brought into our lives. To this day, my daughter still talks about Emma and Elyse, the two little girls she often played with. 

I loved having Olga as our nanny because I felt really supported as a mother. She had done so much thinking and had so much experience that she really created best-in-class shortcuts for me. If I had another child, I would be signing up for her in home daycare. Five star recommendation." -  FJ

•  We've known Olga for almost 7 years and she has been a wonderful resource for our family. Olga is kind, patient, loving, and more than anything, she is simply wonderful with children. What makes Olga unique is that she blends her loving nature with good boundaries; something every child needs. She also works extremely well with parents. She honors and respects the choices of our family, and tries her hardest to support us in the best way that she can. Olga is also incredibly dependable as well as a sharp thinker. When I leave her with my two children, I trust her entirely. Finally, it is clear that Olga truly loves what she does. I have found Olga to be a true gem, and we feel lucky to have had her in our lives.   - Erica B.
