Miss Meena has been a godsend for us. We were left unexpectedly without care, and now I wish it had happened sooner. We interviewed daycares all over Charlotte, and none of them came close to impressing us as much as Miss Meena's did. Her home is beautiful, in a safe and convenient neighborhood, and ALWAYS immaculate. It is full of a variety of age appropriate and educational toys, and not only is the food nutritious, she is an amazing cook! She has become much more than a caregiver for our child, she has become a member of the family. What I can't measure, is all of the love she shows our family, the countless hours of worry she has saved us, and the nights of good sleep we get because she in in or lives.
