I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If there was ten stars to give Mrs garo that's what I would give her,she is amazing with kids,my son used to suffer from febrile seizures (started seizures at age 1) we had to take him out of a previous daycare (located on Isham street) because he ended up in the ER but ever since cecilia started taking care of him we haven't had another seizure (my son is now 7 years old!) She is truly an angel very dedicated,sweet and caring I recommend her 1000%!!!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

She has taken care of 3 of my children and I couldn't have asked for a better person to do so! I love her dearly cares for the children as if they were her own! It's hard to leave your baby at just six weeks but she makes it so easy you know they are in good hands! Would recommend her to the world!!

Ms. Cecelia made leaving my 6 week old with strangers o much easier. In time I saw how much she loved my son and how much he loved her. She is terrific and they have always done an amazing job there. I had to leave NY to move to another state, but miss her terribly!
