Mya Douglas of the Casual Cupcake Agency has saved my family so much time, money, and stress!…read more We owned a condo that was hundreds of miles away from the nearest family member. Once the realtor sold the condo, we had to empty it quickly. (It was full of my mother's belongings because she had previously moved across country without time to pack up.) Mya worked with us to organize and pack the contents of the condo. Her ability to hit the ground running was invaluable. She quickly figured out what needed to be done and advised us so that tasks were completed in the most organized way. Mya also took care of locating a firm that could move the condo contents across the country to my mother. Mya carefully researched firms to find the right combination of trustworthiness and good value. She then met the chosen movers at the site and made sure everything got safely onto the truck. Mya is the most responsible and responsive person I've ever hired. She is very personable and easygoing, yet professional, and can easily juggle the big picture and small details. I would hire her again for many tasks.

When we visited Lightbridge this past winter we really loved the environment and the staff, and we…read morewere thrilled that Jaclyn was able to get us spots for our twins for the following year. I was 13 weeks with twins at the time. We were so relieved to have gotten the daycare checked off! Flash forward, my twins are here, in the NICU, and I have to start preparations for them despite the fact that they can't be home yet. I had previously tried emailing Lightbridge to confirm and received no response. I finally had time to call and they let me know that they do not, in fact, have room for our twins. We are starting the daycare search over, which will likely be absolutely impossible at this point, considering there are two of them. We're left without child care, with twins in the NICU, incredibly stressed out. Do yourself a favor and get in writing that they will have a spot for your child so you don't end up like us.

My family and I were at a convention for our youngest daughter who has challenging issues. She is…read more2.5 years old and we had concerns from the beginning. The lead lady who I am guessing is Mrs. Trimmer was spastic to say the least. She billed her company as specialty service for children with special needs. I have to beg to differ. One more than one occasion I went to check on our little one and she seemed fine , playing and breathing . I then get a text from another mother who was concerned for my child who was laying on the table getting her diaper changed. My husband and I walk over and she seemed ok. We took her out of the care early that we had paid for and went back to our hotel. I then noticed the issue that when I sat her in the bathtub for a bath she screamed and cried , mind you this little child has a disorder that makes her pain tolerance extremely high. When I looked between her legs she was excoriated and raw and had little blisters. I can assure you I did not drop her off like that. I checked the diaper bag and I left them with 5 diapers. In 8 hours she was changed twice , you can do the math. I was upset and furious all she wanted to do was be held for 3 hours where she fell asleep in my arms. My husband had to go buy her paste and she had even more difficulty walking as she falls a lot at baseline. I would not recommend this company for any child. Concerned parents North Carolina based .

Our caregiver Damia was absolutely the best and gave me piece of mind that my son was safe and happy when I had to be at my busy job where I am a manager. Damia not only text me updates and pictures, let me talk to my son, but she went above and beyond the job. She did my laundry and folded it. She swept my house, hand washed my dishes, and even made my bed when I didn't have time to make it this morning. On-Call Concierge service has top nanny's and caregivers. I highly recommend them. Unlike many other services I looked into On-Call Concierge also didn't charge me a finders fee, but instead a flat rate membership fee that included a guarantee of my scheduled caregivers. The caregivers are interviewed twice by Ridwana, go through an extensive interview process, and a thorough background check. After being on Care.com for months and not being able to find a quality person I could trust with my son I finally feel good about leaving my son at home when I need to. :) Thank you Damia and Ridwana for being so awesome! I look forward to working with other caregivers too (Since I am using their services mostly on-call I get a pool of 3-4 nanny's that will rotate).

Been with this agency for some time. They're strong in the way they provide customer service to…read moretheir families. That's likely top-tier. There are also tons of opportunities, they keep growing! They're weak in the sense that they seem to be strapped for cash and offer super low rates to temp/one-off nanny's. You can expect that if someone is comfortable with the following rates, they really needed the money. I really needed the money myself before. For example: temp postings are $20/hr, max $21/hr for the care of 3 children... I found out that the price they're charging businesses/corporations that use their backup services is something like $40/hr....I asked why it was necessary to take a 50% commission and they said it was required to keep the business afloat essentially. To me it sounds like their business model is upside down, similar to Uber taking the majority of drivers' pay. For this reason, I've stopped taking jobs with them. It's extremely difficult to land even an interview for the higher paying part-time, full-time roles. I keep the temp job emails on for if times get really rough because as I said, if a nanny/sitter is willing to accept this low of pay, you can expect that they (myself included) really needed the money. I recommend smaller boutique agencies that I'm also a part of to my friends that ask. They have a pay scale depending on the number and age of the kids, guaranteed meals for longer jobs, and guaranteed rides home for jobs ending late. Common sense stuff. Leaving this review not to be petty, but because I wish I knew before I went through the trouble of reference checking.

When I brought this to the attention of Syndney- his teacher, and the other staff, Sydney walked over and stated "Hadn't noticed those marks, I'm going to get a incident report." I asked the entire room of staff and teachers, including Sydney "What could have possibly taken place for my son's face to look like this?" Everyone was silent. When Sydney brought over the incident report it had a description of what had taken place. I then continued to ask questions, and her answer was "I don't know." I am very heartbroken that this incident has taken place and no one claims to know what happened. No one took the time to contact me or at least try to notify me regarding the very apparent bruises on his face. For this to be a childcare facility that claims to put the welfare and safety of the children first, this incident is being handled poorly. I feel that my concerns are being brushed under the rug and the incident is being covered up. I am highly disappointed in Syndney's attitude and blatant lack of care and concern for my child. Due to this nonchalant response by Jenkintown Day Nursery, CCIS and other necessary offices may need to be contacted so they can assess this center's ability to properly monitor the children in it's care.
