— Trent02David & RebeccaRaj is fantastic. You cannot find a better nanny.
Raj is fantastic. You cannot find a better nanny. Raj joined our family to care for our then three-month-old triplets. Since then, Raj has provided loving care for our babies day in and day out. She has worked closely with us to support us in our roles as parents of three very different children—two active boys and one special-needs girl.
We frequently observed her as she carefully balanced the needs of each child. Raj supported us in the development of menus for the babies as they grew and also helped us establish a playtime routine to support their social, physical, and intellectual development. Her input was essential as we developed a napping, feeding, and playtime schedule for our triplets.
— David & Rebecca03Dennis & Heather, parent of MaxEvery morning when Max saw her, he had a big smile on his face.
We saw that Raj was a very loving person and how much she truly loved being around kids. We quickly realized that Raj genuinely wants to be around children.
Her own kids are amazing, and that is a true reflection of Raj and her husband. Over the course of Max being in her care, we had the privilege of interacting with her family. We know that all of them spent time with Max, and for that we are truly grateful.
Max loved Raj from day one when we brought him to meet her. It was a special moment, and it continued that way. Every morning when he saw her, he had a big smile on his face.
Raj spent a lot of time with activities like playing on the jungle gym and with other toys. We always felt like our son was constantly engaged and well taken care of. Raj was also very flexible and understanding with our family.
We know that Max will miss Raj dearly. She made him a happy, strong baby, and for that we will always be grateful.
— Dennis & Heather, parent of Max04NeelamHer calm presence and nurturing personality create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.
I enthusiastically recommend Raj as an exceptional childcare provider. I have had the pleasure of knowing Raj for 25 years, and throughout this time I have consistently been impressed by her kindness, integrity, and unwavering dedication to children’s well-being.
Raj has a natural talent for caring for infants and toddlers. She approaches her work with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. Her calm presence and nurturing personality create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.
What I admire most about Raj is the intentional way she engages with each child in her care. Whether it’s through reading, play, or conversation, she always finds meaningful ways to support their growth and development. Her home is warm and welcoming, always clean and organized to meet the unique needs of young children.
Over the years, I’ve heard nothing but praise from parents who’ve entrusted their children to Raj’s care. She is known for her reliability, professionalism, and strong communication with families. Parents feel at ease knowing their children are not just supervised, but genuinely loved and understood.
Raj has earned the deep trust of her community, and it’s clear that she is more than just a babysitter—she is a dedicated caregiver who makes a lasting impact on the lives of the children and families she serves. I recommend Raj without hesitation to any parent looking for a dependable, caring, and experienced provider.
— Neelam05Mary, parent of EllaElla has developed such an amazing bond with Raj and her family.
Our daughter Ella is under the care and supervision of Raj, and we are extremely comfortable and confident in her ability to care for Ella. Ella has been with Raj since she was 11 weeks old and has developed such an amazing bond with her and her family that I could not imagine my daughter being in anyone else’s care.
I have seen first-hand the love and attention that Raj and her family members have given to my daughter, and there is no doubt in my mind that Ella will receive the best care possible from Raj and her excellent support system.
My husband and I have the utmost confidence that Raj and her family will continue to provide the loving, caring, supportive, nurturing, and educational atmosphere that she has always provided our daughter.
— Mary, parent of Ella06Erin, parent of KylieRaj treated our daughter like one of her own, and they had an instant connection.
I would like to tell you about my wonderful experience with our daycare provider, Raj. My daughter Kylie started going to see Raj and immediately fell in love with her. Raj treated our daughter like one of her own, and they had an instant connection. Raj’s family welcomed my family with open arms and went above and beyond to include us in their everyday life.
Raj encouraged and nurtured my daughter throughout her time in care. Kylie learned her colors, and Raj helped to encourage her with potty training. There are so many vital parts of learning and growing at a young age, and Raj does an amazing job of connecting with the kids in a fun and loving way throughout the whole learning process.
Raj has three beautiful older children of her own and a very loving and supportive husband. Her family was such a wonderful part of our whole experience as well. Anyone who comes into their household can tell right away that this family is full of love.
We moved from the area, which was the only reason we took our daughter out of the daycare program. I was sad to tell Raj that we would be leaving, and Kylie would no longer be going to daycare. I even told Raj that I wanted to bring her with us.
I hope the next families looking for a kind, caring, and loving daycare provider find what we found in Raj. She has been such a big part of our family, and I know we will stay in touch with Raj and her family for a long time to come. You couldn’t ask for a better person to look after your children.
— Erin, parent of Kylie07Chrystine & ScottWe can leave our son with her for the day and feel confident about his well-being and safety.
Raj cared for our son in her home beginning when he was four months old.
Raj has a patient and caring relationship with our son. He seems at ease with her, and she appears to respond to his cues for attention, food, and sleep.
We are happy to have Raj as a childcare resource. We can leave our son with her for the day and feel confident about his well-being and safety.
— Chrystine & Scott08JessicaShe opened her home to us as though we were family.
Raj was a very kind and caring provider for our three-month-old daughter. She opened her home to us as though we were family. She gave us dinner several times when we came to pick our daughter up, which was greatly appreciated during busy weeknights.
It is clear that the children who go to Raj are loved well by their happy demeanor, not only when they are dropped off, but when they are waiting for their parents at the end of the day.
Our choice to switch care providers was directly related to our commute and finding a provider in the same neighborhood as our home.
— Jessica09MaryOur daughter truly loves and feels safe with Raj.
Our daughter started in Raj’s care when she was 10 weeks old. From the first day we dropped her off, Raj made us feel comfortable and confident that our baby was in the best care. Her home is full of love, warmth, joy, and—most importantly—happy children.
Raj develops an amazing bond with each child in her care. She has a remarkable understanding of how to relate to children and how to facilitate their cognitive growth and development. Through her compassion, sense of humor, passion for learning, and positive attitude, she engages each child in daily activities and lessons. We were impressed almost daily with the knowledge and skills our daughter was learning, and we credit so much of it to Raj’s hard work and dedication.
As first-time parents, she was an incredible mentor and friend. She provided tips and tricks that saved us many sleepless nights and reassured us that we were doing a great job when things seemed to be spinning out of control. Her support and guidance were so important to us, and we are forever grateful for all she has done for our family.
Our daughter truly loves and feels safe with Raj. She was always excited to see Raj in the morning and couldn’t leave in the evenings without giving her a hug and a kiss. It was comforting to know that Raj was a big part of making her days special, safe, and happy. We highly recommend Raj to anyone seeking a place for their child to be loved and cared for as if they were at home with their parents.
— Mary10Luis & Sama, parent of MateoShe approaches her work with professionalism, warmth, and a deep commitment that goes beyond basic caregiving.
We wholeheartedly recommend Raj as a caregiver. Our son, Mateo, has been under her care for four years, and during this time she has consistently demonstrated exceptional compassion, attentiveness, and dedication.
Raj has played a meaningful role in Mateo’s growth and well-being. She provides a nurturing and safe environment, always ensuring that his needs—both emotional and physical—are met with patience and genuine care. Her ability to connect with him, understand his personality, and support his development has been remarkable.
What stands out most about Raj is her reliability and strong sense of responsibility. We have always felt confident knowing Mateo is in her care. She approaches her work with professionalism, warmth, and a deep commitment that goes beyond basic caregiving.
We are truly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our son and our family. We highly recommend Raj to any family seeking a trustworthy and devoted caregiver.
— Luis & Sama, parent of Mateo11Jennifer, parent of GracielaRaj created a warm and welcoming environment for the children she watched.
Raj provided babysitting services for my daughter, Graciela.
During the time Raj cared for Graciela, she was dependable, caring, and attentive. Graciela was always happy and comfortable in her care, and it was clear that Raj created a warm and welcoming environment for the children she watched. One special memory our family will always appreciate is that Graciela took her very first baby steps while in Raj’s care.
Raj consistently showed kindness and patience, and we appreciated the care she provided to our daughter. I would gladly recommend her.
— Jennifer, parent of Graciela12TiffanyShe provides a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children can thrive.
Raj has been the daycare provider for my family, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. She has developed a strong, genuine bond with each of my daughters, which is evident in their excitement and smiles every time I drop them off.
As parents, finding a caregiver who is both trustworthy and nurturing is essential, and Raj embodies both qualities. She provides a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children can thrive.
Raj offers a wide variety of developmentally appropriate activities and toys that support both gross and fine motor skills. From active play to hands-on activities like daily Play-Doh time, she is intentional about fostering growth through play.
Beyond her attentiveness, Raj has also been an invaluable source of guidance. She has helped me better understand my daughters’ eating habits and behaviors, and offered thoughtful suggestions for everyday challenges. Her decades of experience are clearly reflected in the confidence and care she brings to her work.
We give Raj our highest recommendation and are truly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our family.
— Tiffany13NellKnowing she was in Raj’s care provided us incredible peace of mind.
Raj cared for our infant daughter, and we could not have been happier with the love and attention she consistently gave our child.
We found Raj through a family daycare service before our daughter was born. She invited us to meet her on a weeknight, which gave us the perfect opportunity to observe her interactions with the children already in her care. From the moment we met Raj, it was obvious how much the children adored her and how mutual the feeling was. We left convinced Raj was the best fit for us.
Returning to work and dropping my daughter off was difficult, but knowing that she would be well cared for in Raj’s loving home made it possible. Raj was wonderful to both my husband and me, constantly reassuring us that everything would be fine and patiently fielding my calls throughout the day. Even at a young age, my daughter recognized Raj every morning and greeted her with a big smile and a hug.
As a first-time mother without family in the area, I was often unsure if what I observed was normal. Having raised three children of her own and cared for many others, Raj became an incredible resource and essentially an additional parent to my daughter. Her sound advice and wisdom helped us navigate infant nap patterns and the introduction of solid foods.
One letter cannot effectively communicate how happy my husband and I were with Raj. Our daughter is the most important thing in the world to us, and knowing she was in Raj’s care provided us incredible peace of mind. We recommend Raj to any parent looking to give their child the love and attention they receive in their own home.
— Nell14Devon, parent of CameronRaj’s home became a second home for Cameron.
Our son Cameron was in Raj’s care for more than two years, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. Raj and her family are the embodiment of love and kindness. They not only took care of Cameron, but our family as a whole. They foster understanding, happiness, comfort, and learning. When people compliment our son for being thoughtful, polite, outgoing, or friendly, we know those qualities were reinforced and enhanced by Raj and her family.
Having Cameron move on to preschool was exciting and difficult because he was thriving at Raj’s. We knew she had prepared him well and that, whenever preschool was closed, he would always be welcome back at Raj’s with open arms. We were not going to lose her in his life—she was simply moving on with us. We even held a place for our second child so we could continue our relationship with her and her family.
Finding the right childcare provider is a big decision. Both my husband and I work full-time and knew the person we chose would spend more hours a week with our son than we did. We never gave it a second thought after he started at Raj’s. Her enduring love for “her babies” is palpable. She fosters an environment of respect, togetherness, and warmth. Raj’s home was Cameron’s home when he was not at home with us.
If you choose Raj as your childcare provider, you will not be sorry. You will be enveloped in a wonderful family, and your child will be given an excellent start both emotionally and intellectually.
— Devon, parent of Cameron
