The sitters were professional, reliable and punctual; only once was one late, it was only by a few minutes, and she texted us promptly to give an ETA. They were all great with my son. One did stand out above the rest, and Wild Roots did a great job of trying to book our preferred sitter whenever available.

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 looked at YELP and found Perfect Placement. I crossed my fingers and called. Michelle was professional, energetic, and so positive! She was confident that she could find someone to meet our unique needs and I was happily surprised. Within days, she had multiple candidates for me to interview and we found the most incredible woman, who has truly been the perfect fit for our family. We could not be happier. Michelle also assisted me in setting up payment services etc for our employee and it was all so seamless and easy. Throughout the process, Michelle was knowledgeable, reassuring and responsive. Thank you Michelle for everything! I cannot recommend her enough!

Can't recommend Danielle and her babysitters enough! We were staying in Carlsbad for a wedding and…read moreneeded babysitters for our 3 kids. We contacted the hotel and they connected us with Danielle. The hotel had some initial confusion with the pricing so Danielle ended up calling me to talk about my request. I had 6 month old twins and 2.5 year old that I needed sitters for. It was my sister's wedding at the hotel and both myself and my husband were in the wedding so we needed 2 babysitters to help with all 3 kids and get them to and from family photos. Danielle was more than happy to help and matched us with Lisa and Laura. Lisa was able to help wait near the wedding to ensure my 2.5 made it down the aisle as the ring bearer and Laura watched the twins and then ensure they were dressed and ready to get back down for photos. I'm not sure when I'll be in San Diego again but if you need a babysitter/nanny I highly recommend Danielle and her company!

My goddaughter was having a horrible time with math and had a very important exam upcoming. We had…read moreexhausted many other resources when someone recommended that we try College Nannies & Tutors. We walked in without an appointment and rather late in the day, yet the person who met with us was very professional and genuinely wanted to help. The problem was our situation was quite unique. My goddaughter is in the Cal State system and could not pass her math exams. She has a math learning disability and despite so many other tutors and other types of help, she just couldn't get passed her match course and it was jeopardizing her status at the university. She had a final test coming up and if she passed, she would fulfill her math requirement at the university and be allowed to stay, but if not, she would be dis-enrolled from the university. Add to it, she only had ten days until the test. No pressure at all. Normally tutoring for this would occur over several weeks, even several months and we only had 10 days. I explained the situation to the person at the office and I really expected her to smile and say, sorry we can't help you. Instead, she did smile but told us she understood the critical nature and would do everything to help. She made a couple of calls and found us a tutor willing to help. To make it even more convenient, the tutor agreed to come to us and tutor my goddaughter at my home instead of making her go to their office. The price was absolutely reasonable when you go online and look at other tutoring services. Bailey was the tutor assigned and on the first day she showed up right on time. After the first session my goddaughter already felt more confident and felt Bailey's methods and way of explanation were helping her greatly. This went on for the ten days and Bailey even came by the morning of her exam just for a quick refresher and prep in case she had any last minute questions. The bottom line... my goddaughter passed her exam! If I haven't expressed the significance of this, it really needs to be emphasized. My goddaughter was in her second year of college but just couldn't get passed the math. It took awhile before they even figured out she had a math learning disability but despite using their own tutors and tutors from the university, she just couldn't get passed that class. She has been a perfect student minus the math and unfortunately this situation has been a great amount of stress for her for the past year wondering whether or not she would be able to continue at the university or not. Coupled with the fact that she only had days left to prepare for what was going to be the "make or break" test of her college career. We had tried many other people and methods all of which failed to get her passed this stumbling block. And it needs to be mentioned the people at this center, Allison Dery, Director of Services and Bailey, our tutor, need to be commended for their help in a very unusual circumstance. Again, when we went in I fully expected them to tell us they couldn't help in such a short amount of time but they went above and beyond to help. Not only that, but they made it more convenient by coming to our home and there was a lot of paperwork they just waived for expediency. They were extremely accommodating and it can't be emphasized enough. If your child is having problems, I cannot give a high enough recommendation for this place and their services. Truly professional!
