Rita has been taking care of my 2 year old daughter for over a year. We feel so lucky to have Rita in our lives and to have her caring for our daughter. Rita is a wonderful caretaker, loving, warm, and very experienced in managing children. Every time I drop off our daughter, she is thrilled to see Ms. Rita. Rita is responsible and the children are safe in her care. Rita has a huge heart and cares not only about the children in her care but about the families as well. Anyone is lucky to have her taking care of their children.
My daughter has been at Rita's since she was a few weeks old. My wife and I could not be happier with her caring nature and thoughtful demeanor. Rita and her family are all a positive influence on our daughter and we recommend her to anyone looking for a quality daycare provider.
If you're looking for a caring, attentive and loving caretaker, you must meet Rita. :-) I was in a bind looking for last minute childcare. She was highly recommended by another mom on our neighborhood listserve. I took a chance and went to meet her and am so glad that I did. On first sight, I immediately felt comfortable with her. What was supposed to be a brief meeting turned into a long conversation on motherhood and her approach to childcare. I felt no trepidation dropping off my 13 month old the first day and have been very happy ever since. I had a previous childcare arrangement that paled in comparison to Rita's services. More than anything, the brilliant smile on my son's face, when I pick him up every day, let's me know that I made a great choice. At 14 months now, she's already started teaching him to say certain words and he loves to count to 10 (albeit in baby language lol). He is well socialized with the other kids and thriving wonderfully in her care. I have nothing but great things to say about Ms. Rita and HIGHLY recommend her.
Rita is a wonderful caregiver. She takes care of my 6 year old daughter for over a year and my 5 month old son, since he was born. She is a warm and caring caregiver and as a nurse I am assured that while I am at work my children are receiving safe and loving care.
