I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Ms. Bennet is top notch and my family adores her. She currently takes care of my children,fulltime for younger 2 and parttime for older 2. I work 12 hour shifts and she is extremely accommodating plus her rates are reasonable. Between the home cooked meals, learning schedule and loving characteristics it's a guarantee that my children are always happy and well taken care of whenever i pick them up.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Best home day care ever !!!! Mrs.Bennett watched my daughter since the age of 1.5 and I never had any issues/complaints .... 4 years later she watched my son since the age of 8 months and again,I never had any issues/ complaints. Her hours are convenient for any work schedule and the price is more than reasonable. Mrs.Bennett and her family are awesome and I recommend her to everyone ! If it wasn't because I moved out of state my son will still be under her care !!!
