From…read morethe moment she stepped into my space, her calm presence, thoughtful questions, and clear roadmap immediately put me at ease. She didn't just organize rooms--she completely reimagined how they could function. Rhonda brought a level of detail and strategic thinking that was truly high-level. Every drawer, closet, and corner now serves a purpose--and more importantly, her system stuck. Months later, I'm still maintaining what we created together. That's never happened before. I'm genuinely grateful for the transformation she helped me achieve and cannot recommend her enough.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

I reached out to Michelle when I desperately needed a nanny when my career took off after giving birth.

She is truly interested in building life-long relationships for her clients. I also have to mention how much I appreciate her responsiveness. Her follow up is lightning fast! I am so grateful to The Perfect Placement for making my life manageable with truly exceptional in home childcare.

We've used other agencies in the past and were pretty underwhelmed until we connected with Mari. We decided to stick with Ivy Lane for many reasons, they took the time to really listen to our needs and requirements, they were kind and professional throughout, and the caliber of nannies that we interviewed. The founder has been very communicative, professional, detailed, and would check in throughout the entire process- even when we would forget to share our updates (mommy brain!). Most importantly our daughter loves our nanny so so much and that really should speak wonders. We are so grateful and couldn't be happier! I've referred Ivy Lane to all the my mommy friends and a few of them have already started working with Mari!

While this review is dreadfully overdue, it is no less important. It is my sincere pleasure to…read morewrite this review for Naima Blasco and the Boutique Concierge team. Our travails started with Covid when our business started to suffer and we lost our father. We were inundated with paperwork, questions, decisions, processes, and nobody to help us. Something had to change, but we really didn't know what we had to change. We finally identified that running around to various mailboxes, changing addresses with the City, scanning mail, paying bills, and doing other quotidian activities was taking up an inordinate amount of time of our day, not awarding us a large return on time investment, and certainly not helping our collective mental health at all. On top of this, we had to travel quite a bit for work so these quotidian activities were piling up with inevitable consequences. A friend of mine recommended that I use a concierge service. I had never heard of the term outside a fancy hotel lobby. Enter Naima and Boutique Concierge. Mamma fricking mia. It was like a dream. They took care of everything. They picked up mail, sorted through the junk, sent relevant paperwork to the four main recipients of those mail and bills, they organized furniture delivery, they organized carpet cleaning, packing, and shipping, they organized a system to forward mail from one mailbox to another, they tirelessly wrote to various companies, city offices and other contacts to update our addresses, they helped us with the estate process of our late father... what didn't they help with?!?! What I liked best is that when I wasn't sure if a task was delegable to Naima, I could just ask! Isn't that nice? I've never felt so comfortable trusting someone enough to just ask them if they could help me with something - I felt that with Naima and still feel it today. In fact, it's helped me ask for help from others too: that's invaluable for me more than I can ever describe. I can't decide whether I value the increased productivity or the calmer mental state that I received from Naima and her team. It's of course both, but the debate between the two is almost fun in my mind. Needless to say, whichever one you want, and especially if you want both, do yourself a favor and give Boutique Concierge a call. They are meticulous, empathic, courteous, helpful, and a partner for everything you wish to do in your professional life.

I've been a client of PawsLA since 2017 and had nothing but positive things to say about the…read moreorganization. They helped me when I was at some of the lowest points in my life, truly being a blessing when I had nobody else to support me. Fast forward to 2024, and my feelings have completely changed. PawsLA is now actively involved in harming pets and shortening their lives. The animal healthcare industry operates similarly to the human healthcare system, where the main objective isn't to heal or cure but to keep individuals dependent on pharmaceuticals and keep them coming back to the doctor. Doctors and Vets make good money. They drive nice cars and live in big houses. They make alot of money (as they should ) but the fact is they are NOT trained to help anyone long term. Their goal is to not kill us but to keep us alive, sick and dependent on them. It's a business model that ensures profit, and unfortunately, the animal healthcare profession operates in much the same way. If you take just five minutes to do some research online, you'll find veterinarians and animal healthcare professionals sounding the alarm, revealing that some procedures vets suggest or encourage actually harm pets. Look up Dr. Judy Morgan or check out the 2013 UC Davis study, which found that spaying and neutering pets can increase the risk of certain cancers and orthopedic issues. Studies have shown that spaying and neutering your pets can result in: * Increased risk of joint disorders (e.g., hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament tears) * Higher likelihood of certain cancers (e.g., bone cancer, hemangiosarcoma, urinary tract cancer) * Increased risk of endocrine disorders (e.g., hypothyroidism) * Behavioral changes (e.g., increased fearfulness, anxiety, or altered aggression) * Increased tendency toward obesity * Higher risk of urinary incontinence (especially in spayed females) * Changes in coat texture or thickness * Delayed growth plate closure in large breed dogs * Potential impact on overall quality of life despite increased lifespan There will always be arguments against these points, but consider who's making them--veterinarians and organizations that profit from keeping animals sick. If you think spaying or neutering is a good thing, ask yourself: Would you spay or neuter your own child? No? Then why do it to your pet? It's not natural and we were designed to procreate . It's not my job to educate people about the negative consequences of spaying or neutering. I'm not a vet. Don't take my word for it--do your own research. But remember, vets have a vested interest in promoting these procedures, even though they might not be in your pet's best interest. PawsLA supposedly helps low-income pet owners with HIV by providing assistance with food, medical care, etc. Yet, they refuse to help anyone who doesn't spay or neuter their pets. That's strange, isn't it? How can they claim to support pet owners while refusing assistance unless the pets undergo a procedure that could potentially cause more health problems? When questioned about this policy, PawsLA's response is that they are merely enforcing the rules set by the City of Los Angeles. They claim they won't cover the cost of spaying and neutering because that would mean taking responsibility for any harm caused to the pets fr spaying and neutering. They avoid liability by sticking to these rules, all while ignoring the moral issue of potentially harming the very animals they're supposed to help. I believe the people at PawsLA genuinely care about pets and want to help, but they don't want to confront the fact that the rules they're enforcing may actually be harming the animals they serve. They say, "my hands are tied," but I think it's wrong to go along with these rules just to keep the organization afloat. I recently lost my job and am dealing with health issues that prevent me from finding stable employment. I don't have any income or assistance like SSI or unemployment insurance. I barely have enough to feed myself, let alone my dog. I turned to one of the few organizations that are supposed to help people like me, and they won't help because I refuse to put my puppy through a procedure that could harm him. PawsLA told me they aren't directly forcing me to spay or neuter my dog. True but their rules ensure that they can't offer me assistance unless I do. So, is my pet supposed to starve because I won't compromise his health? This makes no sense. This organization has blood on its hands and should be held accountable. If they didn't know what they are doing I am telling them now. Educate yourself and stop harming innocent animals.

I signed up to volunteer with PAWS/LA a very long time ago. I worked special events and picked up…read morepet food from DTLA and delivered it to clients. I stopped getting contacted, and when I called I was told that my contact information was put on "inactive" so I requested that it be re-activated. It happened again and I did the same. The third time, I emailed the volunteer coordinator and never heard back. That was nine years ago. What is so amazing is that whenever I worked an event with other volunteers, they all bailed and I stayed 'til the end. It doesn't get much more dedicated than that. All I could think of is that they have plenty of volunteers and don't need my help. The last event I worked was at the dog park in Redondo Beach and I ended up adopting a kitten from the Downey shelter who had a booth next to the PAWS/LA booth. He is now 9 years old.

This is a sales platform being marketed as a concierge service…read more The Kandela representative, Jessie Vargas, could not have been more helpful when selling and signing me up for the various services, but when I reached out to her again to cancel one of said services; she was difficult to reach, didn't call for the scheduled telephone appointment we set up, didn't respond to emails, and when I finally did get a call from her to cancel the said service she said she would be on the line with me, providing all necessary information to go through the cancellation process with the service provider. However, once she connected with the service provider's customer service line she transferred me and left me on their hold message for 50 minutes before the service provider's agent picked up the call. She never returned to the line to provide any relevant information to the service provider as she had stated she would. It may be true that it saves time on the front end for consumers by streamlining the sign up process, but any time saved will be wasted on the back end if any issues arise. Again, this is NOT the concierge service it is advertised as and that not only seems deceitful, it gives me the impression that the Kandela representatives are on some incentive/commission-based system with the service providers that does not reward spending the necessary time or effort to actually provide customer service to consumers.

They did get me setup with Spectrum but they did the opposite of what I asked and had the modem sent to my new address instead of letting me pick it up at one of the Spectrum locations (because I am not living at my new address yet). So after talking to Kandela for 20mins I had to call Spectrum for 30mins to undo what they did. Also I'm pretty sure Kandela sold my phone number to telemarketers because since talk to them I have been getting multiple calls a day from them. When I let Kandela know that my Spectrum order was messed up they did not reply. I am still waiting to see if mail forwarding actually was a success..z
